The presenter, Edmar Castro, demonstrates how to configure chart indicators and a color rule to visually identify buy and sell signals, aiming for a favorable risk-reward ratio of 100 points risk to 150 points target. ### Key Points - **Introduction to the Model** [00:16] — The video introduces a well-configured operational model for 1-minute scalping on the mini-index, promising fast, targeted results with excellent performance. - **Chart Setup: Timeframe and Candle Color** [01:26] — Use a 1-minute timeframe on the mini-index (WIN). Configure all candles to be white by right-clicking on a bar, selecting 'Infut properties', then 'Appearance', and setting both negative and positive candles to white. - **Indicators: Moving Average and VWAP** [02:35] — Insert a 9-period exponential moving average (set to exponential, thickness 2, yellow color) and the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) indicator (shown in blue). - **Trading Logic** [03:47] — For a sell signal: candle closes below the 9-period MA and below VWAP, and the MA is below VWAP. For a buy signal: candle closes above the MA and above VWAP, and the MA is above VWAP. - **Creating the Color Rule** [04:42] — Right-click on a bar, create a new rule. For buy: MA > VWAP, close > MA, close > VWAP → candle turns blue. For sell: MA < VWAP, close < MA, close < VWAP → candle turns red. Save the rule as 'Color setup'. - **Applying the Color Rule** [08:52] — Insert the color rule into the chart. Candles will now appear blue (buy), red (sell), or white (neutral). - **Trade Execution Example** [09:38] — Risk 100 points, target 150 points. Place a sell order 10 points below the low of a red candle. If not triggered, move to the next candle (up to 3 candles). Once triggered, target is 150 points below, stop loss 100 points above. - **Buy Signal Example** [11:37] — After a blue candle, place a buy order 10 points above the high. Target 150 points above, stop loss 100 points below. The example shows two trades hitting 150 points each, totaling 300 points. - **Continued Movement and Additional Trades** [12:21] — White candles indicate neutrality. A new blue candle after a pullback to the averages can trigger another buy. The example shows a third trade hitting 150 points, totaling 450 points. - **Disclaimer and Call to Action** [13:35] — This is not a buy or sell recommendation but a study for testing. The presenter encourages viewers to subscribe, like, comment, and follow on Instagram. ### Conclusion The video provides a complete, step-by-step guide to setting up a 1-minute scalping strategy on the mini-index, using a 9-period EMA, VWAP, and a color rule to generate clear buy and sell signals. The model aims for a 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio, and the presenter emphasizes testing and refining the strategy. ## Transcript trade in the early hours or first hour of the day on the fast-track mini-index chart, like a scalper, with excellent And that's exactly what I'm going to show you in today's video: a well-configured operational model with specific tools that will give you the ability to that will give you the ability to achieve fast, targeted results with excellent performance. Hey there, interesting topic, right? I'm Edmar Castro, and I invite you to subscribe to our channel. Turn on notifications to If you like it, at the end I want you to leave a like and a comment telling me what you thought of this model. I also invite you to follow us on Instagram, where we share daily information about the financial market, mini-index, mini-dollar, and of course, information about our operational team, results, trades, and much more. From now on I will share my screen with you and show you on the chart how we can configure tools and also how you can apply also how you can apply this operational model for 1- minute scalping on the mini-index with excellent performance. Let's go. Very good. Let's understand now what we need to apply this operational model here in the mini-index. Uh, I put a 1-minute test here on the chart . You can test other timeframes there without any problem. So, let's go. The time frame here is 1 minute. Let's test it here on Infut, which is the mini-index, right? I need the chart to have all the candles in white. So you're going to configure the candles to have a the candles to have a single color, because we're going to use a coloring rule that will show us the entry points, the candles in the entry color based on the rule we're going to set. Making the candles white is very simple, right? Right-click on one of the bars, select Infut properties, and we'll go to the appearance option. And then you're going to mark, look, negative candles in white. Select it and put it there in white, white. Select it and put it there in white, and also in white as a plus sign. Give it an OK. From then on, all your kendo pieces will be white so that the color rule is more visual when we apply it. We're going to visually represent two important moving averages here on the chart , actually one moving average and the variable average (VA). Right-click on the chart. Let's go to insert indicator. First, we need a nine-period moving average. She'll come right up to the screen, just give it an OK. We will set this moving average by double-clicking on it. We're going to put it in exponential form. We're also going to increase its thickness to two and change its color to yellow. here. Right-click on the chart again. We'll insert the indicator and then chart again. We'll insert the indicator and then ask it to insert the VAP. VAP. Let's insert it into the chart. Give it an OK. It's already turned blue here. So, VOAP is shown in blue and the nine-period moving average in yellow. So, we're going to try to operate in the following way. We will always look at the candle's closing price, how that candle is closing. And from its closing, we're going to observe this candle here, look. Let's say its closure is down here. It closed below the down here. It closed below the nine-month moving average, it closed below the VOAP, and the nine-month moving average is below the VOAP. This would be a candle that would enable me to make a sale. In a different case, for example, here's a candle like this one, it has a closing price above the nine-period moving average. above the VAP and the average of nine is above the VAP. So I have a bullish candle. But looking at my chart, seeing all the candles in white, it becomes quite difficult for us to identify. So we're going to implement a color rule that will show exactly color rule that will show exactly this color change of the candles based on the rule I just explained to you. When I'm putting together the coloring rule, you'll better understand how to trigger the operation here. So let's go , pay close attention, follow along very calmly so that you understand and can do it on your chart too. Right-click on any bar in the chart . We need to create a coloring rule here. We have the rule creation panel here. We're going to create a new rule. Let's click this button here. He'll set up a panel here for us that we can simply drag and drop. So, the first drag and drop. So, the first criterion I want here, I want to consider for the purchase, right? In order for the candle to show a color where I intend to buy, I will want the moving average to... So let's type a little bit moving average to... So let's type a little bit here, shall we? Average. I understand that here he will type to search for the moving averages for me. Look, it's right here. Moving average. You click, hold, and drag. And put it here, see? If the moving average is greater than I want a VOAP here now. I click, drag and drop here too, see. I want to combine this rule with another one. So I mark here what if the So I mark here what if the candle's closing price is higher candle's closing price is higher than the nine-period moving average. So I 'll also put the moving average here again. I click and drag, drop it here. And also the third condition of the closure is also greater also greater and the VAP. price meets all these conditions, then the market is favorable for buying. I'm going to tell him to show me the blue candle. I have the first rule set up here. Let's move on to the rules for selling. Moving average. Drag it over here. Now, if it's lower Drag it over here. Now, if it's lower than the VAP and the closing price the closing price is lower now the next step is to add another condition, which is to say here that if the condition, which is to say here that if the closing price is also lower the VOAP (Volume Percentage Percentage), and the closing price is lower than the moving average and lower than the VAP, then I have a sell condition. So I'm going to add the rule here saying that I want the candle to be red, okay? So I have a condition for the candle to turn blue and show me a buy signal. I have a condition for the candle to turn red and show me a sell signal. These are two sell signal. These are two visual triggers that we will have in operation. From there, the next step is to click here on the little floppy disk to save the here on the little floppy disk to save the rule. Give her a name here. Color setup. You can put it all together, okay? Color setup. Give it whatever name you here. It doesn't mean it won't work if you use a different name. Perfect. You can close it. Right-click on any candle. Let's go and tell on any candle. Let's go and tell him to insert the color rule. Click on the plus sign. We put it there as a color setup. I specify that I want to insert it here in the color setup. I specify that I want to insert it here in the chart in Infout, I add it, and I click OK. Look, from now on we have white candles, red candles, a blue candle, and some more blue candles. What does this mean? When the sell rule is met, it will show in red; when the buy rule is met, it will show in blue. And when it doesn't meet all three conditions, it will appear in white. So this white candle will serve some interesting purposes for us, both to indicate that there is no operation or to inform me that there was neutrality in a movement and I am ready for the next trigger. So let's understand how this works from now on. I picked up the start of the day here to show you how it works. And we're going to say here that this setup model is one where we'll have a risk of 100 points in the operation and a target of 150 points, okay? So the risk-benefit ratio there is quite favorable. Graph in progress. Look what happened here. A red candle appeared to me. Why did that meeting exactly the rules I set. The yellow average, which is the average of nine, is below the blue VAP, and the candle's closing price is exactly below both averages. Exact condition for sale. I'm going to place a sell order at the low of the candle. 10 points below. Once my entry is triggered, I below. Once my entry is triggered, I 'll be in the trade. Look, my login wasn't activated. If my entry wasn't triggered , I'll move it to the next , I'll move it to the next candle. This one didn't activate either. I'm going to the third candle in the sequence. It doesn't activate, it's no longer operational, okay? We can make up to three candles only the first one as a rule, you can do that too, okay? So it didn't activate. We're going to observe the market. Now we have a clear signal here, it's turned red, a sell signal at this point. 10 points below, I have a sell order. If you take my order, I have a target of 150 points below and 100 points above. He activates the entrance, comes close to the target here, there's the target down here, okay? So, from there, he took over the operation, OK? 150 points, nothing to be done until we have a new movement identifying an entry point here for us. Next move here, after he made all that movement, he left a blue candle up here. So we have a purchase trigger from that point on. If the breakout occurs, we will have an entry just above this candle here with a target of 150 points; it doesn't activate just above that. We'll move the entry to the next candle. This one really activates. Look over there. And after this movement here, he comes and gets our target up there. So, in this case , two trades, 150 points equals 300 points for someone targeting 300 points in a day. We're talking about a contract here. Two positive operations, it depends on your management. In this case, it's over and the day is over. But for the sake of this study, let's take a look at the continued movement of the chart here. He comes, gives a white candle. We're just He comes, gives a white candle. We're just observing here, and in this case, it's like this: It came down to the average and neutralized, resulting in a new blue candle. From this point on, I need the breakout of entry trigger. And then he activates that input. So, the target is set up there, the stop loss is set at the low of the candle at this is set at the low of the candle at this point, target in another positive trade, okay? So imagine one day you've already made three trades worth 150 points. That's 450 points. If you operate with one contract, it's 450 points; more contracts, and it multiplies , but you can see that it's a model that works well, it has good performance. Yes, as I told you, it's a model with excellent performance. Now it's up to you to run your tests. Remember that this is not a buy or sell recommendation, but rather a shared study so that you too can test, refine, and see if it really helps you in any way.
