Wait, is this actually how people scalp?

THe first time I heard the term keys to the kingdom was in that guy John Carpenter's book. He referred to TRIN as the keys to the kingdom. Then I backtested it and it was nonsense.

Put up a 1-minute ATR with a 6-minute SMA, and do not trade if the 6SMA is 0.50 or below.
(For most of today, it ranged between 0.60 and 0.80: *premium*!)
Seek just 1 tick, you've got 50¢ to play with.

If you take 10 trades an hour, for 1 minute each, that's good for $85/hr.
For a 6.5 hour RTH day, that's good coin. Take out 90minutes for lunch (always nuts) and
30 minutes before the close (too scary to hold overnight) and 30 for The Idiot (Half-)Hour at the open, and you've got a 4-hour work day, and $340 tick-scalping 1-lots, US$1700/week, $85k/year with two weeks off per annum. Yo.

This post mentions nothing about entries really. How are you scalping these?

Why does everyone say lunch is nuts? I have looked at charts and cannot find patterns for different times of days. Sometimes price goes all over in the morning and nowhere at lunch. Sometimes the mirror is true. This seems to be a comment that is normally said but doesn't seem to be accurate.
