Most traders think they must choose only one style of trading — either short-term scalping or longer swing trades.
But in reality, the market often offers multiple opportunities within the same structure.
This crude oil case study shows exactly that.
During this setup, two different types of trades were executed:
- A scalp short that lasted only about 41 minutes
- A swing short that captured a much larger move over a longer time
👉 Both trades were based on the same underlying bearish market structure.
The analysis and trade execution come from Neerav Yadav, who has been forecasting global financial markets for more than 10 years with an accuracy rate exceeding 80%.
So the real question becomes:
👉 How did the same market setup create both a quick scalp opportunity and a larger swing trade?
The Market Setup
Before discussing the trades themselves, it’s important to understand the market context.
The market structure in crude oil had already started showing weakness.
Two positions were eventually taken:
- A swing short, initiated earlier in the move
- A scalp short, taken later during an intraday opportunity
👉 Both trades followed the same core idea — downside momentum.
