The presenter claims this method is rarely shared for free and works best on brokers with IC Option-like layouts. ### Key Points - **Strategy Introduction** [00:27] — The presenter introduces a unique strategy not commonly taught online, claiming it would normally require purchase. It is designed for brokers with IC Option layout. - **Best Brokers for the Strategy** [00:39] — Brokers like X Nova, Bullex, Avalon (IC Option clones) are optimal. Others like Nacotex and Binola work but are more challenging. - **Wick Presence in Candles** [01:08] — Almost 99% of 5-minute candles leave a wick or retracement, which the strategy exploits. - **Zooming into 1-Minute Timeframe** [01:36] — By zooming into a 1-minute timeframe, you can see the five 1-minute candles that make up a 5-minute candle (called a quadrant). - **Quadrants Defined** [02:16] — Each quadrant contains five 1-minute candles. The fifth candle is typically the correction or retracement candle. - **Corrective Candle Identification** [03:42] — The last candle in the quadrant (fifth) is usually responsible for the wick or retracement of the 5-minute candle. - **Entry Strategy** [04:54] — Enter on the fifth candle when price reaches a strong support or resistance level, anticipating a retracement. - **Risk Management: Split Entries** [07:30] — Instead of one entry, split investment into multiple entries (e.g., 5) to manage risk if price doesn't retrace fully. - **Practice on Demo Account** [09:56] — Emphasizes practicing the strategy on a demo account before using real money. ### Conclusion The strategy leverages the predictable behavior of the fifth 1-minute candle within a 5-minute quadrant to enter trades on retracements, but requires practice and proper risk management. It is most effective on brokers with native IC Option layout. ## Transcript welcome to another video here on my channel. You all arrived here through this video, welcome everyone ! Hey guys, listen up, today I want to teach you a strategy that I've never seen anyone else teaching here on YouTube . I believe that in order for you to have access to it, you would have to buy it in order to learn and understand how it works, because nobody gives it away for free, like I'm going to do here now. Beauty? I'm going to teach you strategy works and which are the best brokers where you can get good results using this strategy. You can use this strategy with any broker, but the best brokers that have the same layout as ICO Option. So, X Nova, uh, Bullex, Avalon, all those brokers that have the same layout as IC Option work . Beauty? Nacotex, Binola, and these other brokers also work, but you'll have a little more difficulty executing this strategy. Why, bro? Because within these brokerage firms, which are similar to ECOP, there's a system that we call standard. So, what happens? If you look at all these candles here, which we're using for 5 minutes now, they all leave some kind of wick. Oh, you see here, look, leave some kind of wick there. Almost 99% of the candlesticks here leave some kind of wick, a retracement, whether small or large, but there's always one, man. you're going to do it exactly in this region here, so that you can take advantage of this pullback here to catch a big one. Beauty? This is what I'm going to teach you. We're going to go inside a 5-minute candle and you'll understand 100% what happens inside that candle, okay? And for that reason, those brokers I mentioned that have the same layout as IK Option are the best ones for you to use. Why? If you come here and set the timer to 1 minute, what happens? You're going to zoom in as much as possible . You're going to increase it, increase it, increase it, increase it until this message appears, it means you've already increased your zoom to the maximum setting . So, what's going on here, folks? Each of these candles you going to show you what that quadrant is. That's it , folks. This region right here . These markings here, look, are the line here, going down here? You're going to take this line that's going end here, to the next line that's going down, man. So, here within this quadrant, we have a 5-minute candle, but here we're using a 1-minute timeframe. So, there are five candles, look, 1 2 3 4 5. They are five 1-minute candles. So here we can see inside the 5-minute candle what 's happening inside it, man. So, the quadrants help us identify each of those 5- minute candles. So with this strategy, we're going to understand what's happening within a 5-minute candle and how advantage of these peacocks here. You see areas. So, we're going to grab right at the stem, right at the beginning of these wicks. And for that, you need to understand what I'm going to teach you. Let's put a marker here. And now to see what happened in there . Going inside this candle here, folks, look. We came in here, and what happens? Inside this candle right here. Oh, how interesting. folks? We had, look, one candle, two candles, three candles, a fourth candle. This would be the fifth candle. This candle here is usually the correction candle we talk about, man. So, when we're looking to trade in a trending market, a breakout, or something like that , we never pick the last candle in the quadrant, because those are usually corrective candles. So, this candle here was responsible for that retraction you saw over the was also a pullback at the bottom here. And this one here, she was the one responsible. This candle here was responsible for the pullback we had here, in this other 5-minute candle here . So, if you look at the two candles here responsible for the retracement of the 5-minute candle, they were the last two candles, see? And here too, if you look a little further last candle here also had a pullback, man. So, as you can see here, the last candle is usually the one that makes this we're looking at a time frame of 5 minutes, you know. minutes here, we don't know what happened. So, usually the last that correction. So how are we going to operate it? First, market is respecting. I'll give you an example here. The market is managing to break through. We go inside one of those candles and see which quadrant it's in. First, second, third candle. Here you see, right? Here's a line. After the line, this is the third one, and now it's the fourth. We have a region that the market has been respecting for a long time, right? It 's a region that has become a stronghold. And when the fifth candle is in a region similar to this one here , we can simply take an entry point there for that same candle, believing that it will then pull can get an entrance here, because this area is really nice, folks. We could probably get a ticket for this sail here. Let's wait and see. respectful, look. There have been a few incidents in this region. He tested it there again , look. He felt it again. This is the fourth candle, and we would have to take price hasn't moved there yet. Let me make a little bell here. Let's see if there are any other cool regions we could explore, man. cool area, man. Oh, we're on the first, second, third, fourth candle here, look . If that candle were to reach here, look, in this region here, look. Oh, I can't get it Oh, in this region here, we could find an entrance here. I'll grab a ticket here, okay? Oh, first candle, second candle, third candle, fourth guys? So, I took an entrance here in this region, look. A region where he wasn't able to get very close to the price , look. I was being respectful. This is the fifth candle. So this would be the candle that would have left its wick. I got in here for the same sail, and let's wait and see how this entry goes. Beauty? I deposited R$ 50 here because I just wanted to show you can see how it works. We'll see about that. Just a few seconds left to see about that. Just a few seconds left to finish. Alright, guys. Oh, so, as you saw there, first candle, second candle, third candle, fourth and fifth candle. Hey guys, what would you guys be up to? It was like, when you guys come in, you split your fees, don't just pay one fee, man. So, let's assume end, we were all calm until now. But as it ended up before retracting completely, man. So, if you were to invest 50 bucks, what would be the ideal amount? You guys make five entries, bro. So, an entrance, you go down, you make another one there, man. So you put in the R$50, splitting the fees, because sometimes the candle might peak and then retrace, not enough to return to the region you were expecting, man. And now I'm going to show you this candle here for 5 minutes so you can see what happened here, folks. Oh, you guys come here for a 5-minute time limit guys, look. As you can see, the 5-minute candle had its pullback here, and we were able to take advantage of that pullback in the way I told you, man. Let me see if we can get was the same thing here, guys. Oh, this one here was the other one I had my eye on too. This one here was another one I had my eye on. If we had caught it here too, it would have been great for us as well, man. Let me what happened. Oh no, it says 5 minutes here, right? Oh no, it says 5 minutes here, right? Let me come back here in 5 minutes. left the retraction behind, oh. If we had caught it here, it would have been a huge success too. if I can find any region. We could also get an entrance here, look. But listen, guys, here's the thing, man. for the price to get there, you know. This is the second candle. take a while, so the video is going to be a little long. I'm going to speed up the video here for you guys, so you don't have to wait too long. Okay, I'm going to speed things up here and I'll be right back with you guys. thing, the price didn't reach where I wanted it to, did it? He ended up backing out earlier, so there's no way we can go in here. We would always go in for the fifth sail there. So that's it, right, guys? I believe you were able to see the strategy perfectly and how it works. Okay, the only thing I'll tell you is that when you use it, use it a lot on the demo account use it properly, okay? A very simple strategy executed. You can use it with other brokers, but with other brokers you won't I explained here, man. So, if you want to use this strategy with another broker, what do you do? Open a chart here on the new Option X platform, this layout, and then go to the broker you want to use for trading. When you see that it's going to the fifth candle, the way I explained to you, you go and place your entry on the brokerage you're using, whether brokerage you're using, whether it's Cotex, Binola, Pocket, or any video. I'll stay here for now. I hope you enjoyed it. Until the next video or strategy you'd like me to make. Many people have asked me to if I can bring more indicators for you. Beauty? I'll stay here for now. Until you. Beauty? I'll stay here for now. Until next time. It cost. He spoke. I went.
