The presenter explains the original swing trading logic and demonstrates how to modify it for short-term scalping with specific moving averages and VWAP. ### Key Points - **Introduction to the 9.2 Setup** [00:01] — The video introduces the 9.2 setup by Larry Williams, originally designed for swing trading stocks on daily and weekly charts, but adapted here for day trading indices and mini-dollar futures. - **Required Tools** [01:22] — The chart must be set to a 2-minute timeframe. Three indicators are needed: a 9-period exponential moving average (blue), a 20-period exponential moving average (orange), and VWAP (white). - **Original 9.2 Logic** [03:15] — In an uptrend, look for a candle closing below the low of the previous candle, then enter on a breakout of that candle's high. In a downtrend, look for a close above the high, then enter on a breakout of the low. - **Applying the Setup** [05:06] — The presenter shows a real example from December 2nd, explaining how to identify a buying opportunity when the 9-period MA is pointing up, price is above the 20-period MA and VWAP, and a trigger candle appears. - **Managing Trades** [07:16] — After entry, set a stop loss at the trigger candle's low and project targets using Fibonacci extensions, typically exiting at 100% (1:1 risk-reward) or holding to 161%. - **Changing Bias** [08:10] — When the 9-period MA crosses below the 20-period MA, the bias shifts to selling. The presenter demonstrates how to look for sell triggers in a downtrend. - **Example of a Sell Trade** [10:13] — A sell entry is triggered when price breaks below the low of a trigger candle, with a stop above the high and targets projected downwards. - **Conclusion and Adaptation** [12:39] — The presenter summarizes the adaptation for day trading, emphasizing the importance of waiting for clear triggers and not trading during low volatility periods. ### Conclusion The 9.2 setup can be effectively adapted for day trading on 2-minute charts by using exponential moving averages and VWAP, focusing on candle close confirmations and disciplined target management. ## Transcript allows you to capture market trend movements , that's what today's suggestion is. We're going to adapt a well-known setup called 9.2 by Larry Williams. We're going to it was originally designed for swing trading, meaning it was created for trading assets in the medium and long term, trading stocks, and primarily trading daily and weekly charts. But we can, using his logic and making some adaptations, use it to trade indices, mini-dollar futures, and for day trading. But before I do this, I invite you to subscribe to the channel, activate the bell to receive notifications and, of course, if you like it, leave a like to also invite you to follow us on Instagram, where we post daily corus, results, recorded operations, and much more. Speaking of Operation Corus, the website is also in the description of this video so you can go there and learn more about Operation Corus. And if you have any Instagram and I'll be happy to answer them, clearing up share my screen with you, I'll show you how we make this adaptation, what tools we need, and how we can apply this logic to the chart. Let's go then, so that we can make this model work, adapting it from the LS 9.2 model. We're going to need some tools here. The first thing is that the chart must be set to a 2- minute timeframe. We're going to need insert bookmark. First, we'll need a nine-period moving average, which will be the crucial average in our model. I'm going to select it here and set it to exponential. I'll define it to exponential. I'll define its appearance as blue. right? Apply. OK. So, this will be my crucial average. We're going to use my crucial average. We're going to use another very important average here, another very important average here, which is the 20-period moving average. This 20-period moving average should also be exponential. I'm going to give it a different color. Let's make it set it to thickness two, and I'll add fretting, okay? OK. 20-period moving average. And lastly, and quite importantly, we'll include VOAP here. Put the VOAP here. OK, here's to us. Let's put VOAP in white and define the function of each one within this model. The line is here, all nice and neat. Very good. So here we have the three averages that will guide our work, and we working in conjunction so that our inputs actually yield results. From here I'm going to explain to you quickly, in broad strokes, how the original Lero Williams 9.2 setup works. I'll just I suggest you do some more research and get to know this model better. As I mentioned at the beginning, this is a model used for swing trading, for trading are making a small adaptation so that it will also be efficient here in day trading with these tools that we will be using. works like this, right? When you have a directional market in a trend, for example, in an uptrend, you will look for buying opportunities, for nine-period moving average pointing upwards, you have the candles closing in sequence. Suddenly you have a candle that closes below the low of that candle. You triggered something here. From there, we will seek the high is broken, when the high of that candle is broken, you have an entry point to this candle. It didn't activate on that candle, so you move the trigger to the next candle. Activating it does the same thing. If the market is falling in the sell direction , and suddenly the nine-period moving average is pointing downwards, you have a is pointing downwards, you have a close above the high of the previous candle. So we're going to mark the low of this candle here. Breaking through, we have a sell signal, a stop loss, the high of the price, and then we project the targets. There are several ways you do some research, look up Lero Williams' 9.2 setup, which has a lot of information and is a very rich tool, especially for trading very rich tool, especially for trading stocks and swing trading. Here in our chart, we're basically going to use the candlestick principle confirmations because we're working with a fast timeframe. we'll also be looking for shorter targets , taking fewer risks, and trying to make fewer trades. So, how do model? I found an opening sequence from today , December 2nd. Ah, market here. What am I supposed to think about here? First, I'll consider if the sloping upwards, the nine-period moving average is blue. We will always keep an eye on her, especially. So, if it's pointing upwards, So, if it's pointing upwards, it's above Din and the price is above VAP, I'll consider buying. It's trading here in the middle of the averages, nothing to be done, there's no trend, no interesting movement for us. Look here, in this example, we had this price surge, it came in an upward trend, the nine-period moving average pointing upwards, trading above the 20-period average, above the VAP (Value Added Percentage). And here I have the this candle. Candle 14, I have a closing price here at this point, it doesn't closing price here at this point, it doesn't mean anything to us, but candle 15 has a closing price below the low of candle 14. Look, a closing price below the low of candle 14. That, to me, is an indication of a trigger for a trade. What do I do from here? I have an entry point at its breakout, an entry point at its breakout, a stop at its low, case here, ideally you should always project the target once. The size of the Fibonacci projection here, I would then have projected the risk upwards, I could exit here at 100%, where we have risk-reward ratio of one to one. So the exit would be at this point here, but you also have the possibility of carrying the trade up to carrying the trade up to 1% or even twice the risk, okay? So, starting from the input here, you can define what your target will be in the low point of the candle. Or if the previous candle here is lower, you lower. It's up to you to decide. Remember that this is a study, not a recommendation, not a setup for you to start trading with, but rather a study, an idea for you to adapt your operational model and perhaps improve with these tips. Very good. Let's say I went here, applied the operation, applied everything here, and succeeded, excellent, very good. What do I do from here? I'll wait for the market to give me another opportunity. I'll try not to trade during times when there's no volatility, right? So, looking here, what do I have? I had this movement here giving me a closing way up there. Then I have this candle that comes in and closes below. So, the way it is here, uh, it's already complicated for me, because, look, the nine-period moving average is starting to turn, but if it hadn't turned, I would have had . Okay, it didn't activate, pass the purchase on next one. But here now the average is already pointing downwards. The closing price has already fallen below the averages, below the VAP (Value Added Tax). So, there's nothing to be done except observe. For now, the bias is towards buyers. And then when I have both averages coming in here, I start thinking about changing my mind. The blue average dropped below the orange average, meaning 9 is below 20. At that point orange average, meaning 9 is below 20. At that point , I'll definitely start thinking about selling. From here, I already have some momentum here and I can start thinking about a sale if I have a trigger activating that sale. What happened next ? Oh, the market came, I have the closing price of this green candle above the red one. So, turn on an activation there. If I had a breakout of candle 28 here below, I would have a sell trigger. That doesn't happen there. The up, the averages are still other, but the price has already gone above the VAP. Then I'll wait and maybe the next candle will give me this information. Then I have this other candle here, it's already moved above the moving average. I'm already thinking differently on this point. Keep watching, the price goes back down here, look. So I didn't miss that summit there. The market continues in a downward trend, but without a trigger. So, at this point, what do I have? Look, observing movement. Closure. This candle closed higher. If the election ends, I have an entry point for the sale. Stop above. Oh, it didn't activate. It didn't activate, but I'm still here with the averages aligned downwards. So there might be a possibility of an entry point here. Next candle. It didn't activate. The averages remain aligned. I'll move on to this candle here. And from there, I have exactly the entry point. Similarly, oh. It's projected you. Hold the position until 161%, but ideally exit at 100%. Once the 161%, but ideally exit at 100%. Once the target is hit, the position is closed and you'll wait for fall, forming a bearish structure , with lower highs and lower lows. closing above the candle's high. So, once again, losing the slightest bit So, once again, losing the slightest bit here, I would have a new entry. It doesn't happen. The averages are still here. With the number nine starting to point dangerous. If the dam were to break, we would have access. There isn't one there. Go up there. It has completely changed the average. Then you just have to observe. Nothing to be done. I see the market changing, breaking down the structure. Ah, it broke the structure because, look, it just downtrend line, it just broke through, turned upwards, the averages are all pointing upwards. So, from there I need a trigger. Oh, the fixed there, so it's not worth considering. Now here, yes, I have a closing price below the low. I would have an entry point if this candle here breaks upwards . It hasn't broken upwards; the averages are still trading. What do I do? I'm changing my entry to the next candle, since it's following the same pattern. He activates the entrance. I forgot to take the measurement here, didn't I? Minimum mark there. measurement here, didn't I? Minimum mark there. Target entry: 100% or 61%, 100% is always recommended. Next he comes, look, he pinched the target there. Then it hit the target there too. High, closing. Closing below the low of this candle. Once again, entry on the breakout of the high of this candle. The breakup happens here, doesn't it? You pass the trigger to the next candle, since the averages remain aligned. That's where the entry happens. We project from the low of this candle to We project from the low of this candle to the entry point, and the targets project upwards hit 100%, as I said, ideally at 100%. For those who want to said, ideally at 100%. For those who want to hold a little longer, go for 161%. So, always working in this way, you're always working on these movements. This is how we can adapt version 9.2 for you to operate in day trading, operating with shorter timeframes.
