This Scalping Strategy Makes Me A Living

In episode 538 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, you will be listening to an interview with "DayTraderRockstar" John Kurisko, who dives deep into his exact scalping framework—how he reads momentum, identifies trend structure, and times entries using quad rotations and divergences. Here's a practical walkthrough showing the real mechanics behind his 1–5 minute setups, including where traders usually mess up and how he avoids overtrading.

If you've been trying to "feel the pulse of the market," this is as close as you'll get without sitting next to him.
