How 1-Min Rapid Scalper works
Rules in this group usually work like this. It takes a lot of small trades on fast charts and needs a tiny gain on each one. The trading cost is the whole story. With no fee, almost every rule of this kind looks fine. With a real fee, many do not. A test on one-minute bars also assumes every order was filled, which is generous. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.
It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on ATR, DMI; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. When it enters, it also sets a stop or a target, so a trade can close without a new signal.
Each trade uses 10 percent of the account. It holds one trade at a time.
The exact condition, from the code
Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

- Enters short when Heikin Ashi close is above Heikin Ashi open 3 bars ago and bear1 and bear2 and bear3 and ADX is above ADX Threshold (20) and (Trade Direction Toggle (Both) equals 'Short' or Trade Direction Toggle (Both) equals 'Both').
- Places a target at (strategy.opentrades.entry price(0) + (the previous 14-period ATR × Take Profit (ATR Multiplier) (1))), a stop at the larger of ATR stop and (strategy.opentrades.entry price(0) × (1 − (The Plug (Hard SL %) (1) / 100))) when Enable ATR Multiplier Exit (Overrides 1-Bar Exit) (off) and a long position is open.
- Places a target at (strategy.opentrades.entry price(0) − (the previous 14-period ATR × Take Profit (ATR Multiplier) (1))), a stop at the smaller of ATR stop and (strategy.opentrades.entry price(0) × (1 + (The Plug (Hard SL %) (1) / 100))) when Enable ATR Multiplier Exit (Overrides 1-Bar Exit) (off) and a short position is open.

How the backtest was run
Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.
The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.
599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.
The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.
Before any fee, it was tried on 9 cells, and it placed no trades.
It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.
| Cells tried | 9 |
|---|---|
| Cells that placed a trade | 0 |

How to read the result
How to read the number
No cell took a trade, so there is no return to read. The rule above is the whole note.
What this does not show
The useful question is the result after a real fee. With no fee, almost every fast rule looks fine.
There is no cell to single out, and this note does not invent one. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.
