The strategy involves trading the first 5-minute candle of the day, with rules based on candle color and position relative to its midpoint, targeting 300 points profit with a trailing stop loss. The creator backtests the strategy over two months, showing consistent profitability, and provides step-by-step instructions for setting up automated orders on the trading platform. ### Key Points - **Strategy Overview** [01:25] — The strategy uses only the first 5-minute candle of the day on the WIN mini-index chart. No other indicators are needed. - **Entry Rules** [02:12] — If the first candle is green and closes above its 50% midpoint, buy. If red and closes below 50%, sell. If the candle exceeds 600 points, skip the trade. - **Profit Target and Stop Loss** [02:25] — Target 300 points profit. Initial stop loss is 300 points. When price moves 100 points in your favor, move stop to breakeven. At 200 points, move stop to +100 points profit. - **Automated Order Setup** [03:08] — Configure a 'game 60 ticks' order (60 ticks = 300 points) and a trailing stop with breakeven at 100 points and trailing at 200 points. - **Backtest Results** [06:33] — Over two months, the strategy generated approximately 10,000 points profit, averaging about 1,000 points per month. The creator shows multiple winning trades and a few losses. - **Position Sizing Advice** [13:04] — Start with 1 contract per R$1,000 in account. Increase contracts gradually as profits accumulate. Example: with 10 contracts, monthly profit ~R$6,000; with 100 contracts, ~R$60,000. ### Conclusion The first bar setup is a simple, rule-based day trading strategy that can be automated and has shown consistent profitability in backtests. Proper risk management and gradual position sizing are emphasized to avoid large losses. ## Transcript simple trade, very easy to apply, meaning anyone starting from absolute zero will be able to apply it and make a lot of money in the market. If you've been here longer, you can also apply this strategy because, after all, it's paying out, so there's no reason not to know and apply it. It's the first bar setup, the first candle strategy. Many of you here already know it, but there's something new for 2020. We've now reached 300 points of profit, and I'm going to do a year-end backtest so you can see how successful it has been. And that's all good news, right? You who are starting out won't need to spend much time in front of the screen; you 'll hit your target on the very first trade of the day. Want to know what this trade is? Come with me! Let the welcome! I'm Viana, and it's a great pleasure to have you here on my channel. Go ahead and leave a like, subscribe to the channel, activate the bell, and follow me on to the channel, activate the bell, and follow me on other networks for more tips and content. Guys, get ready because I'm going to show you a trade today that might even sharpen your... Your greed is being careful because it has paid a lot, I'll prove to you here that it has paid a lot, I'll prove to you here that it has paid every day, so let's go to the chart. mini-index. If you don't know how to use a 5-minute chart, you're starting from absolute zero. As I said, the code for the mini-index is Win, in this case you type Win and it will show you the current chart. You double-click, the chart will appear, current chart. You double-click, the chart will appear, you type CCO and enter. We 're already on the chart. I'm going to remove all the studies from the screen, after all, you don't need to look at anything other than the first candle of the day. So I'm going to remove the indicators from the screen, let me see if I can remove the studies too. Clean chart, you don't need to know anything, as I said. Well, how does this strategy work? It's simple. What are the rules? If the candle is green and is less than 600 points, the first candle will hardly have more than 600 points, but when that happens, stay out, do nothing. If happens, stay out, do nothing. If it's green and closes above 50% of the candle's halfway point, I'll buy and look for 300 points, a loss of 300 here as well. It paid 300 points exactly. Oh, it was beautiful today! Even when it moves 100 points, I'll bring my stop loss back to the entry point. When it moves 200, I'll bring my stop loss back to 100. So if it goes back 200 points and returns, I win 100 points. If it goes 300, then I win the 300 points. So we make our stop loss more difficult with this. So you can configure it to make this automatic. Look, I've already saved it here. You click on new, give it the name "first bar." I'll even do everything again here to make it very didactic: new, first bar, whatever name you want to give it, first candle, it doesn't matter, first bar, because there are many beginners here, it's easier to communicate and understand. I'll put here "game 60 ticks." L 60 ticks, each tick is here "game 60 ticks." L 60 ticks, each tick is worth 5 points, so 300 points, 60 x 5 gives... so put 60ss. If it's in the... you put 300 points there. It 's in Points Stop Offs, you can leave it at 500. Strategy Stop, click on New. Let's give it Strategy Stop, click on New. Let's give it the name here: Break even every... Okay, you're going to set the Break then, 100 points, 20 x 5, 20 ticks distance from the entry price. I'll put one here because then I earn five points to pay the fee, right? points to pay the fee, right? Train Stop. When it reaches 40 points, that is, 40 ticks, 200 points, I want it to stay at a distance, that want it to stay at a distance, that is, my Stop loss went to 0 to z0, right? To Break even, that's it, and the trading stop is telling me when it reaches 40 ticks or 200 points, I want it to load ticks or 200 points, I want it to load my stop, which was L, became G, now it was at 0 to z0, it goes to 100 points, so I leave it at 20 adjustment frequency. so I leave it at 20 adjustment frequency. You can leave one there, if it goes 210 points you earn 110, if it goes 220 you earn 120, if it goes back 230 you earn 130. Since I don't want that, I'll leave it at 20, feel free to change it, it doesn't matter, I'll leave it here, distance, adjustment frequency 20, okay, okay, okay, okay, adjustment frequency 20, okay, okay, okay, okay, first bar there. Okay, so 300 points of gain, 300 points of loss, so you tool when you're unsure if you're above 50%. Visually, you can see that it's more than half. tool. But if you want a tool here to show you the levels, you draw the minimum and maximum of them. This tool here will be different, right? You'll go to levels here, remove all the levels that aren't these, and include these levels. For example, to include 25, you type 25, include, it will come here, and here it will be 61.8, 33, 161.8. You click and remove all, leaving 025, 50, 75, 100, or you can leave just 50. Okay, use it. I have other strategies here, but you could leave them like this. Let's just make it very didactic. I'll leave only these three appearances. You'll come here, define, okay? You remove it, I left it in light blue, thickness two, you put it, define as default. Same thing with levels, define as default. So every time you remove the tool from the screen and put it back on, It's going to be the same way, so you can just use it like this, 050, okay? Or you can just use 50. It closed above half, it's green. What do I do? I buy here, it paid 300 points. Let's do some backtesting so you can see here. You don't even need the tool. Of course, it closed below half, it paid 300 points. We already have 600 points for the month here. It closed red above half, it didn't do anything here. Of course, it bought, it moved 200 points, it didn't return 100, it paid 300 points. We already have 900 points here. It closed above half, but it's red here. It closed above half, red, it didn't do anything here. Let's see if it closed below it sold, it didn't stop, stop, it moved 200 points here. So your break-even it moved 200 points here. So your break-even was at 100, it went back to 100, it didn't go back. Look, this one almost took you to 100, it went there, it paid 300 points. We have 1200 paid 300 points. We have 1200 points here. Buy, break-even, it didn't work, it moved 280 points then it fell, so I took 100 points. So if you had used... The frequency adjustment on the stop-loss string of 1 would have caught 180 points, but since I left the frequency adjustment at 20, I only caught 100 points here. Unfortunately, that happens. So we have 1300 points here, it moved without points, it went to 0, 1300 points here, no color, I didn't do anything here. I took a loss of 1000 points here. I took another loss, it didn't move points here. I took another loss, it didn't move 100 points, unfortunately 700 points here on the buy, it returned, look, it moved without points, it moved, look buy, it returned, look, it moved without points, it moved, look here, look, it moved 69 points, it moved from 200 points, 200, returned 100, we have 800 points here. I took a loss of 500 points here, it loss of 500 points here, it called 273, the same thing, I caught 100 called 273, the same thing, I caught 100 points, I'm at 600, it called upwards, it almost stopped, it kissed, that's what I pulled higher here, look, about 280 points away, right? Look, it did n't stop, it didn't stop here either and paid the 300 points, we have 800 points, we have 800 points here, it didn't close above the Half here, 80 points, went there, stopped, 500 points here, moved 200 points, took you out with 100, 600 points here, with 100, 600 points here, green, gave a little heat, moved 200, returned to 100, green, gave a little heat, moved 200, returned to 100, points here, moved 200, returned to 100, didn't return, paid 1000 points points here, let's see, entered well here, let's see, entered well here, almost 90 points, 95, I'm not, moved here, almost 90 points, 95, I'm not, moved without points, didn't return anymore, moved 200, didn't return, 300 points, 1300 points here, guys, in this case, it would be possible to sell, I won't count, but it would be more, I would have sold, but for you who done anything here, but for those who are more experienced, already follow me here, you know the hammer pattern. Took this huge rejection here, it would be a sale, I won't put it here so as not to be unfair, 1300 points still here, green, below half, see that in the month of February it closed at around see that in the month of February it closed at around 1000 points, right here, I'm at 1300, right, stopped at 295, 295 stop 1000 295, 295 stop 1000 points here, moved 200 points, didn't return. 1300 points here, moved 100 points, returned, continues with 1300, exited at 0 to 0 here, red above the halfway point, here the green is at the halfway point, no need for the tool to measure, moved 200 points, returned, took 100 measure, moved 200 points, returned, took 100 points. 10000 points here, seems to have hit a Stop, huh? Sometimes you didn't hit a Stop here seconds it was a little higher up because it went there and took it. It would have hit its Break, right? But I'll put the ' l' here, okay? 10000 points here, paid quickly, huh? 10000 points here too, I'm fast by the looks of it, huh? 100 points here in the green above 100 points here in the green above the halfway point, didn't stop, moved 200 points here, didn't return stop, moved 200 points here, didn't return 100, went there and paid 300 points, so 1400 here, red, moved without points, returned, continues with 1400, 0 to 0 here, returned, continues with 1400, 0 to 0 here, green didn't stop, moved. 200 points, returned 1500 points, I took 100 here, it seems like it paid full here, huh? It moved 200 points, returned to returned to 100 here, returned, paid 100 points, what a rip-off that day, huh? 1600 points huh? 1600 points no entry here, red, moved without points, returned to the entry point, moved without points, returned to the entry point, 1600 points here, little entry point, 1600 points here, little points, and here, the last day, moved 180 points, returned to 0 to 0, so you would have a take 800 points per month in this trade, it would close positive if you only did this trade, it would close positive. Viana, I have R$1000 in the account, I always advise having a R$ 1000 contract, it's possible to do it with less, it's possible to do this here with R$100 in the account, but I don't advise it because then you'll take a Stop and you'll have to deposit again, it's possible to do it with... 100 is enough to make a stop loss, you'll have to make a deposit the next day, so it 's always good to leave R$1,000 in the account for each contract. Oh, I made R$2,000, Viana, then start trading with two contracts. Oh, now I have R$3,000 in the account, start trading with three contracts. So this, for example, with 10 contracts. Oh, I have R$ 10,000 in the account, I'll make this trade with 10 contracts. So with 10 contracts you would have made R$600 in the month, with 100 contracts you would have made R$16,000 in the month. Oh, I always advise you to start with one valid contract. Oh, that makes sense, increase the number of contracts, you can increase from one, then two, then four, then eight, then 16. And then you'll never end the month in the negative, right? You'll never bite off more than you can chew, right? I'll open a quick replay here, I'll take the previous day. Oh, here, the previous day. Oh, here, February 29th, just to show you how it is. How does the Training Stop work, etc.? Requesting it has this countdown Requesting it has this countdown here, look, it's not entering yet, it's not entering yet. Put a contract here so as not to whet anyone's appetite. All my videos here are educational, so I always teach with the contract, which is how you should start. Those who have been around longer already have experience and can put in 10, 50, 100 contracts. Ah, Viana, I closed the month in the positive. Try with two now, I closed too. Ah, go, go to 10, let's see what happens. I closed too, it increases to 50. That's how you're going to win. It matters if you're rich and have money, go little by little. Those who don't have the chance of taking a big loss and then you'll end up giving up on day trading, right? Ah, that's not for me, so be very careful. Look, you're on the wrong strategy here. First bar, let's go. When it reaches here. First bar, let's go. When it reaches TR seconds here, I sell. sell at market here at one second. Let's will bring it to the entry point, you 'll when you're doing replays, don't speed it up, okay? I'm speeding things up here just so the video doesn't get too long, otherwise you'll end up getting used to it, right? Your prefrontal cortex will be used to seeing that speed, it'll arrive at the market at that moment and get a little nervous, and here, folks, wait for it to reach its target, no, it does n't reach it, then I think it's going to go up, it's n't reach it, then I think it's going to go up, it's not going up, oh my God, right? Ah, one thing, I said 1600 points in two months, but in reality it was 10000. Why? Because one of the candles I showed there was at 600 points, and then I would n't have entered. Okay, candles are n't have entered. Okay, candles are don't enter. Look here, for example, it's at 480. Okay, if it had reached at 480. Okay, if it had reached 600 points, close at 600 points, then avoid entering the trade, don't enter, then it's at your own risk. So I put that as a rule here for me too, 600 points, I don't enter, so the result for the month would have been... 10,000 points would give you 90,050 points per month, almost 1,000 points a month, right? Look, it moved without points, look, it brought it to the entry point here, I won't lose anymore. Look at this beautiful strategy, making your stop loss as difficult as possible. We'll move the trade, and when it hits 200, it will leave you with this position at 100 points. Look, now you earn 100 points. If it goes back, this is really good. A day it doesn't move 300, you end up getting 100 points here. If you want, when it hits 250 points, bring it to 150, feel free. Okay, I'll keep it here at 100 points, sometimes it goes back, give a little "whisker" here, 100 points. Okay, but you can change it as you do backtesting, it's up to you. you do backtesting, it's up to you. platform, comes back the next day. How much does this give? It gives R$ 0 with 10 contracts, R$ 600 with 100 contracts. 6000 trusted the strategy and is winning there for three consecutive months. Send the token, you can increase the number of contracts, you'll get around R$30,000 a month and be part of the richest 1% in Brazil. Okay, if I helped you in any way, don't forget to leave a like, any questions, I'll answer them all here, and until the next video.
