The strategy uses a combination of indicators—HMA, VWAP, volume, slow stochastic, and MACD—to generate clear entry signals through a color-coded candle rule. The presenter demonstrates the setup, execution, and management of trades, emphasizing discipline and risk management. ### Key Points - **Introduction to the 12-Minute Setup** [00:02] — The video introduces a 12-minute chart setup for trading mini-index futures, focusing on a single transaction per day with clear entry, target, and stop levels. - **Operational Model Overview** [00:42] — The model is designed for one operation per day on a 12-minute timeframe, requiring validations for volume, trend, and volatility to determine the market direction and entry point. - **Indicators Used** [01:09] — The chart includes HMA (moving average), VWAP (daily), financial volume, slow stochastic oscillator, and MACD histogram to assess volume, exhaustion patterns, and movement strength. - **Validation Criteria and Color Rule** [03:01] — The strategy uses a color-coded rule (blue for buy, red for sell) that incorporates all criteria, providing clear entry signals. The presenter mentions a promo for the Corus operating system and Instagram for more info. - **Applying the Rules** [04:08] — After applying the rules, the chart shows blue candles for buy entries and red for sell entries. The strategy captures a single transaction per day, with entries between 9 and 11 AM, and uses a risk-reward ratio of 1:1. - **Setting Up the Chart** [05:03] — To apply the strategy, the user must make all candles white, keep the VWAP and HMA lines, and paste the provided code into the strategy editor (Profit) as a simple coloring strategy. - **Code and Validation** [06:24] — The code includes validations for RSI, slow stochastic, and other indicators. The user saves the rule as 'Rule M12' and inserts it into the chart. - **Executing Trades** [07:11] — After the opening, the user observes candle colors. A red candle indicates a sell entry at market price, with stop-loss at the high and target projected using the risk-reward tool. - **Example Trade** [08:16] — An example trade hits its target of 260 points, and the day is over. The strategy emphasizes discipline and not trading again until the next day. - **Discipline and No-Trade Days** [09:01] — The presenter shows days with no trades when criteria are not met, emphasizing the need for total discipline and patience. - **Multiple Trade Examples** [10:12] — Several examples show trades hitting targets (450, 220 points) and one stop-loss, proving the model is not infallible but has a high win rate. - **Conclusion and Call to Action** [11:48] — The presenter concludes that the model's value lies in its win rate and performance, encourages testing, and asks for likes, subscriptions, and comments. ### Conclusion The 12-minute setup offers a systematic approach to trading mini-index futures with clear entry signals and disciplined risk management. While not infallible, its high win rate and simplicity make it a valuable tool for traders seeking a structured daily routine. ## Transcript today. That's it. Setup for a 12-minute chart for trading mini-index futures. A single transaction per day, thoroughly validated by highly relevant indicators. This type of strategy shows you the exact entry point, where target price, and the best performance level – it's fantastic. You can see that today asking you to subscribe to the channel, activate the bell to receive your comment because I want to know your opinion at the end if it was really worth it lot of stuff for that. We're already here on our chart. From now on, I'm going to show you how to prepare your chart and how to use this operational model in the most objective way possible. As I mentioned at the beginning, this is an operational model for you to perform one operation per day. It will operate on a 12-minute timeframe specifically, , the kind that goes straight to the point. But for that to happen, I need validations. Have you noticed that my chart here has some information? Actually, it's only slightly polluted, but it's necessary for someone who's only going to several confirmations. I need confirmation of volume, trend, and volatility. I need to understand which way the market is going at that moment, get the right entry point. Ah, within the chart itself, I have here the moving average, we call it HMA, it's a moving average that in its calculation, it calculates a bit of volume and it has a weighted average within it. And it's very different from taking a 12-period exponential moving average (EMA) compared to taking a 12-period moving average (HAI). So it works precisely on the price, as fairly as possible, and will greatly assist in decision-making. Here on this blue line we have our VOAP, our daily VOAP, which is extremely important so that we can have guidance when operating. Below I have the financial volume, which entry, to know what the trading volume is at that moment. And quite a bit in the channel's setups when I add it to the videos. This moving average helps us assess the trading volume in that area, and I help with this. So if the volume is above that, it's quite interesting. Ah, right below is the slow stochastic oscillator. It's excellent for us to understand the patterns of exhaustion. So the market is overbought, overbought, overbought, and then a point arrives where we understand that the market has exhausted itself, and selling pressure will kick in at that moment. For example, here, it's at a top, there was a lot of tired of it. But notice that the stochastic oscillator also tells us this. So those are regions where we avoid opening operations. And down here we have the MACG histogram, which will also work precisely on this movement. Get a good amount of force into the movement, it will expand here. We're going to use it as a resource as well. I like it a lot. So, a lot of information comes together, plus some metrics that we like to use. And the idea looking at all of this. What did we do? We created validation criteria that, when met, will allow us to have that single shot, that single share with you a coloring rule that incorporates all the criteria operating. Let me give you a quick message here. You know that I have I use to trade daily in the market, mini-index, mini-index, Bitcoin want to invite you to . Our new website has a brand new look, so you can get to know the Corus operating system it, everything you'll learn about the operational side.

Now back to the video because there's a lot of great information to share that So, after we apply all the rules, your graph will basically look like this. He'll show it to us when I have that show it all bright blue there. We 'll know that's the entry point. red over there. And it's interesting for us to operate. We're basically going to capture a single transaction per day. So there will be an entrance between 9 and 11 in the morning, there will be an entrance or not. If you don't meet the criteria, you won't be admitted. And that's how it is, you make the entry, place the stop, place the target, ah, risk-reward ratio of one to one, hit my target, day over, hit my stop, day over. It's one operation per day. An operational model for you 'll have this operation basically guaranteed every day, and you'll have your operations. From now on, I'm going to show you the code, how to set up the color rule, and how to apply it. And you'll be impressed by how accurate this model is. To make the chart look like this, we'll need to make all the candles white. Here in the chart I told you there are two lines, I'm going to keep them as they are, okay? It's the VAP, the I'm going to keep them as they are, okay? It's the VAP, the orange one here, an HMA remover in blue. Now we're going to put our strategy on the chart. I'm leaving all the code here in the first pinned comment . You just have to copy the code and paste it here within the strategy. At the top of Profit, you'll find strategies, a strategy editor. Click there, open this menu here, click on new strategy, select coloring, simple coloring. Just click on " simple coloring. Just click on " select strategy," and it will open like this. You come here, click on this icon and then on this other icon. Profit, right? So here's the thing, you always have to disable those options for simply going to select the information that's here, delete it, go to the pinned comment now, copy the code from beginning to end, don't lose a videos aren't able to apply it because sometimes they forget to select everything. So start where it says " beginning," and select the path up to the last word, "end." Select from beginning to end, copy everything, come here and paste it into this area. Strategy: all the information I told you is pasted here. We have here the validation of Rovage, the RSI, which is the RSI, its slow cost and information is included here. So I have one rule for buying and one rule for selling. Everything done here, no secrets. You will click on the little floppy disk to save, and you will save it in the following way. Rule M12. going to right-click on any of the candles and insert our coloring rule. Click on the plus sign, come here to the search bar and enter the name that we put there for our rule. Click on "insert here" in the chart, click "add," and then click "OK." Notice that from now on he's been showing us candles with colors here, right? So, from here, we have the code applied, the rule applied to our chart. After the opening, I will always observe the color of the candle. If he he has validated, he will be red to me if he is in a sell position and blue if he is in a buy position. In this case here, the third candle of the day is red. OK? If he's red, we're going to make an entrance. What will the entrance be like? It will be at market price. Then it turned red there, you're going to keep order, you'll click on " enter market" there. He will enter the market in the case of a sell), and the target will be projected using that risk level as the profit target. I'm going to use the risk-gain tool here to design for us, see? So, I click on where the sale occurred, drag it to the stop-loss point, and the target is projected. What tool is this tool? Risk is a given, okay? This is the right side, okay? So, hover your mouse over the tools here, you to set it to the same target size, the same stop size. And then add the colors there. I put it here to make it more visual. In this case, it was an operation that hit its target. I just made a trade, I set the target here, a 260-point trade, that's my trade for the day. What else am I going to do today? Nothing more. There's nothing more to be done, okay? It's a single operation. Notice that the candles are marked here with outlines, right? And it's validated there until about 11 o'clock. When the time is up, you will see the 's no more red or green here, it 's just white. So that means entry has passed. Let's take a look at how it goes in the next two or three days. you can see how it works. Let's see what the next day brings. Opening of the next day here. Nothing needs to be done until I see color in the candle. Movement. I'm validated candles, right? So, what am I going to do? Absolutely nothing. Total discipline is needed to follow the plan, okay? THE. Then, I noticed that this last candle here no longer has any color on it. Then, the time was up. This is a day when there was no operation. Another day, opening here, white candle, just watch until I get a validated candle with color. have all the necessary conditions met for an operation at this point. What am I going to do at this point? I'm going to place a sale, stop at the high and the target projected below, sale executed and target hit below. So, another day of operation. What do I do from now on? Exactly. Nothing, right? So, he hit my target, there's nothing more to be done. Another day here, opening. I'm waiting for the movement that will give me a average range. A red candle means that all criteria have been met. New closing sale. Stop loss at the candle's high. Target projected down there . Projection here of a target of 450 points. Trade activated. Three candles. He hits my target right there. Another operation very well executed. Another day, opening here, movement, white candle. We observe that the averages are converging. Oh, at the intersection of the moving averages, I have a buy candle now, a green one. So, closing here, stop at the low, target projected upwards, trade activated, movement, three more candles, it hits my target there. Another great operation there. Another day here, opening. We wait for the candle to validate before entering the entry point. pointing downwards, closing outside the moving average region. So I have a new closing sale, the stop is at the high and the projected target is high and the projected target is down here. Target here: 220 points. Trade activated, already active, hit, grab the target, pocket the prize, day over. And that's how it is , the model continues with this excellent performance, you see? I have this candle here, opening price, price movement, moving averages together, pointing downwards. Here I have this candle here, a rejection at the moving averages and selling pressure down here. So, at the close of trading, I have a sell order, the stop loss is at its high, the projected target is down here, the trade is activated, and then the movement occurs. Hey, look how cool, a stop! Proving to you that it 's not infallible, right? So there are days when you'll actually have to stop, and that's very common in all operational models. What matters is the number of correct answers you get right, your percentage of correct answers, and your performance. That's indisputable. This is what's valuable in this market. That's it. I warned you it was guaranteed learning. Now this is what you're going to do. You will improve it, you will use it in the best way possible, but the most important thing is that you do your tests and draw your own conclusions.
