The stop loss is set proportionally due to index volatility. - **Buy Setup Example** [02:11] — A buy setup is shown where candle 54 creates a low; price breaks out, retraces to 50%, and pays out over 1500 points within the same 5-minute candle. - **Tip: Avoid Strong Trends** [03:12] — When the market is rising steeply (high angle), avoid selling at tops. Wait for price to show weakness (smaller candles, lateral movement) before entering counter-trend trades. - **Selecting Isolated Highs and Lows** [05:51] — Prefer isolated highs/lows (where price moved strongly away) over clustered ones. Isolated levels are stronger and more likely to hold for reversals. - **Previous Day Levels** [06:51] — A previous day's isolated high provided a sell entry at 50% retracement, yielding 1000 points. Such levels are stronger than intraday ones. - **Key Lesson: Isolated Peaks vs. Intraday Peaks** [07:06] — Selling at 50% of an isolated previous high is more reliable than selling at 50% of a recent intraday candle (e.g., candle 37). The former avoids stop losses. ### Conclusion The key to successful scalping is selecting isolated highs and lows, using Fibonacci retracements, and assessing market strength through candle size and price angle to avoid false signals. ## Transcript this now, look, it's the end of the trading session, right? Obviously, as Marquinho himself said, we had a very strong rise in our index, and it left some highs and lows here for us to work with. Oh, the very end of the trading session. I didn't coordinate anything with the market, it doesn't have that power, but look, I have a potential peak here, right? In this region potential peak here, right? In this region here, this little candle, right? The price is reaching a peak here, a potential peak in this region. trigger candle here. Perfect. Candle 80 here at 5 minutes. What am I supposed to expect? I'll wait until he loses by a small margin, right? And remember I said it has to be a remember I said it has to be a candlestick body, okay, everyone? Then it breaks out at candle 89. Can you see it here? Candle 89 closes below the body of the candle, right? From candle 80, which is what made the high here, look. Perfect. I'm going to grab the Fibonacci price here, okay , everyone? So I'm going to bet on the candle, and what am I supposed to expect ? I'll wait for the price to go back down to 50%. 50%, triggers my sell order and goes down. It ended up paying out, right, one to one, which would be the first target, 380 points, right, as we said, the stop loss will be in the same proportion due will be in the same proportion due to this volatility of the index. We no longer have 100-point candles on the 5- minute chart; it's harder, it's rarer, but as I said, we are also rewarded. Oh, it dropped 700 points from the entry point and then it touched down again here, right, and it held that price until the end of the trading session, correct? Then it broke out at candle 89, it closed below and returned to the 50% level, where my sell order was and returned to the 50% level, where my sell order was . Okay, buy order, let's see here, look, Kle 54, K 54 leaves a possible low of 55, me zoom in here so you can see. So the price breaks through, right? He can see. So the price breaks through, right? He took a little longer. Back where? took a little longer. Back where? Go back here, to the 50% mark of the candle. You've already gotten rejected, haven't you? And it goes up by paying too, right? Basically, that's it, let's wait and see what happens This is the scoper nothing. Yeah, that was beautiful. It went up more than 1500 points. You didn't even get hot here, look . It dropped about 40 points here and has already gone back up . He pays you on the same candle. In other words, it didn't take long, it'll take less than 5 other words, it didn't take long, it'll take less than 5 minutes to clear this transaction, right? A 5-minute candle closes. So, right? These are the regions, you know, where we work. Okay, here's a tip I'll give you, Marquinho, which we Okay, here's a tip I'll give you, Marquinho, which we can mark here for the previous days, uh, regions, uh, so you can be careful. For example, let's say you can be careful. For example, let's say I have this top here, which left me with a candle, right, in the candle set it left me with a sell signal, okay, everyone? So, I would have a sale here. Why? This candle 7 makes the high, it's broken, look. But he's not going back to 50%. He lingered here. I don't even know if he came to pick it up, right? What do you need to be careful about? The market is going up, isn't it, folks? It's a tip I give, I like to give it to people. Okay, I have the sale there, I have the sale there, I have the setup pattern, I have it, but I see the angle at which the price is going up. If the price is rising too high, folks, I avoid buying, right? Look how he arrives, right? Look how strong he is. How can movement when he's already starting to get more tired? So, look, notice in this case how it's already angled, right? I'm going to delete this here. Look how weak he is when he tries to grab the top spot, right? Oh, in that region, oh, it comes more Oh, in that region, oh, it comes more laterally. So, this way is laterally. So, this way is safer, with less chance of the price breaking out of the setup, okay? So, that's a tip I like to give. When it's really strong, guys, you think: "Wait a minute, this market, several bars, right, look, a bar without an upper shadow, so if I keep selling here all the time, I'm going to keep taking a lot of stop-losses." So, you have to be careful when selecting the top and bottom. It came in a bit tired, better, right? Not that it can't hold, sometimes it holds, it comes in strong, stops in that region and goes down, but it's a tip I give you to avoid taking a really silly stop-loss, right? Oh, it made a top here and went straight past, right? Because the market is very strong, you have to be careful, just look at the price angle, see how it's behaving, if it's a bit tired, right? Look at the candles, right? What's the amplitude of the candles? Look at the difference here. How it has large candles, right? Strong. And here, look, just smaller candles, slowly. I think this one is bigger, right? It's more likely to hold in the counter-trend. Okay. Okay. during the day it's natural for the market to make many highs and lows, right? Do I have to draw every high and low, or are there some more specific highs and lows that work better? I like the more isolated ones, okay? So, guys, here, for example, I have a more isolated low because, as I told you, the price went up strongly from here. Here at the high, I could do it at this high, and I can do it here because they are more isolated. This is a more isolated low too, right? Can I do it on all of them? You can, you'll do 38 trades, and it might not work out very well, right? You might get more stop losses. So you have to be careful, cautious. As I said, sometimes I'll take, look, the ones from previous days here. For example, this one . Look at this nice high. I didn't see if this one worked, but look, I have a possible sell here, right? The price possible sell here, right? The price broke through, look. And it hasn't come back yet. 50%, oh. It didn't come back. It didn't come back. Did he get it today? Look there. paid. He paid me here, look, 1000 points. And that's an important point, folks, that you'll learn over time. What's learn over time? If you do a Fibonacci on candle 37, you'll say: "I'm going to enter at 50% of candle 37 on the sell side." So it's always interesting to learn how to select the entry you're going to make. So what's more interesting? To make a sell at 50% of candle 37 or to make a sell at 50% of the previous high, it's always the previous high. The most isolated high is always the best for you to sell. The high plus the most isolated low is always the best low for you to sell. So, for example, if you had traded today at 50% of candle 37, you would probably have taken a stop loss, but someone who knows the kit would have taken the sell position up there . One would be sad because they know From the previous peak. One would be sad and the other would be overjoyed. It's great that you 're here in this lesson to learn these little tricks. So, the most isolated peaks on the chart, even if they are from previous days, will always be the strongest. And the most isolated troughs on the chart, if there's a peak of the day, a peak of the trough of the day, the trough of the previous day that's more isolated, the trough of the previous day is always stronger. So take this tip so you don't take a take this tip so you don't take a silly stop loss.
