It's not about changing your setup, but about having another setup. One for you to operate only at the beginning of the day, the first 45 minutes 15-minute candles. That's what I'm going to show so you can trade 15- minute candles, the first three of the day. And I can excellent; you can achieve excellent results with this operating model. set up your chart and how to operate this model. Before that, I turn on notifications. If you really liked course, I want to know your opinion. Leave your comment. I want to know what you thought of this model, if you had operated like this before, or if you were unfamiliar with a model like this. I'd also like to invite you to follow us on Instagram, where we post daily content about day trading, especially about my trading strategy, Operational Corus. check it out, send me any questions you have and I'll be happy to answer them. We'll go over the metrics to use, the information we need, and then I'll show you in practice how to apply the technique, how to apply the model. I also talk about his performance. First of all, we're going to operate on a 15-minute chart. We're basically going to trade using the first three candles of the day. The chart needs to be in this format because this is one of those setups where we apply the color rule, and it will visually show us the entries, making it much easier so you don't have to do analysis or look at indicators. According to the rule, the indicators will already be applied. I can assure you that, in addition to the metrics for validating the candle, we will have a rule to validate the entry based on this moving average here, which is a nine-period exponential moving average. We will also have the RSI indicator embedded in the chart , validating the entry, always with that rule that the entry will only occur if it is favorable to the RSI. And we will also have the financial volume factor built into the rule. So we're going to need the candle to have some validations, including that the volume is favorable, and it will be favorable based on a configuration that we also put within the validation rule. So, first of all, I need the chart to have all the candles in white to validate it for us. So you're going to leave a specific layout there you're going to leave a specific layout there in Profit with the candles in white. You can display this nine-period moving average on your screen here. She'll be within the rules; she wouldn't even need to be here, but just to illustrate , we'll leave her here as well. It is a nine-period exponential moving average It is a nine-period exponential moving average . it's already been created. I'll give you the code. You simply copy and paste the rule, save it, and then apply it to the chart. Go to the top of the strategy menu, strategy editor, select a new strategy here, select the coloring option, click OK, and delete these commands that are here. You can now go to the comments section of this video, the first pinned comment, where you'll find all the rules. Select the item, press Ctrl+C to copy, or right-click and copy. Come here, within the rule we are Come here, within the rule we are creating, select it, and paste it. Oh, the rule is all ready here. All the necessary information is within the rules here. The job you're going to have here now is to save. Click on the floppy disk to give our rule a name . I put rule M15 at the top. You can if you want to use this one, that's fine too, no problem. Let's save them. right-click on any of the candles and insert our coloring rule. Click the plus sign, go to search, enter the name of your rule, select it, insert it into the select it, insert it into the chart, add it, OK? At the start of each day, we look at our chart, and we see here, candles in red, candles in blue. This means that this blue candle has passed all the validation and it is enabling a purchase for me. Then you will be able to see your enabled entry candle on the first, second, or third candle of the day, and you will trade on the first one that becomes enabled . And here it will be very simple for you to operate. You can see here, my candle is working there, it closed, the counting minutes for my candle ended here. The next candle will open. I'm going to do the following: where it's closing here, if it's blue, it will be a bullish candle. You go to the order form, buy at market price, and it will insert an order right here at the close. From there, order on the screen. close. From there, order on the screen. You will place the stop at the low of the You will place the stop at the low of the candle and project the stop size as a target upwards. Here we're not going to regulate size; you're going to take candles of 200 points and then have candles of 1000 points or more, okay? Okay? Therefore, it's also important for you to assess whether the risk is within your control. So, I'm not going to talk about management here; everyone has their own strategy and knows where they can and cannot operate. We're only going to talk about whether the entry was successful, whether it was a game, or whether it was a stop. So here's where the entry was made, my stop loss is at the low of the candle, it hits the low and the projected target is the same point upwards. If it's for a sale, the same thing applies, okay? So, once it's submitted, I'll do it this way. this month's transactions. So, look, at the start of the day here, the first candle has already appeared in blue. Once it closes, I make my entry, a buy entry into the market . I've already set my stop loss here at the low of the candle, and my target is projected up there. The movement continues, it hits my target. Oh, target. This first candle here, it closes at 9:15. So, before 10 o'clock, your target has already hit the top. Another day here, look, market opening, white candle, nothing to be done. So, I'm observing the blue candle up here. observing the blue candle up here. So, at this point I'm already observing the closing of the transaction, I make a recorded purchase here at the closing, right? I placed the purchase at market price, the stop loss was set at the low, precisely at the low of the candle. Then you just have to observe. He goes there, takes my target, red candle here. If it's red, it tells me it's a sale. So , when the closing happens down here , I make the sale. The stop loss will be placed at the high of the candle. The target is at the high of the candle. The target is down here at the lowest point. The entry happens, he moves and goes there and hits my stops five candles later. So, another day here. The opening sign is a red candle, as I mentioned, right? He gave it the color red because there's a whole validation behind that red color. Entry at the close, target projected down here, close, target projected down here, stop up there, all the movement, it comes and hits our target down here. So, another favorable trading day here. Very good. Here's another day, white candle opening, nothing to be done. I will wait for him to give me a possibility of surgery. Next, a blue candle appeared here. Blue candle. When it closes, I have an entry point, the stop loss is at its low, and the target is projected upwards. projected upwards. Activate the entry, move, and hit my target, okay? So I think it's clear now how the process is done. I'm not going to do any more here because otherwise the video will get too long, but I think you understand how the process is done . Let me share some statistics with you here. I've basically planned this for three months, right? I made notes so it wouldn't be too long, but I'll just tell you how it turned out so you have an idea. For example, I marked the month of April here with an arrow, right? Oh, positive trade, positive trade. Another positive trade, positive trade. Another positive, another positive here, a negative here was the stop, right? Here's another winning trade. This was a stop. Positive trade. One more win, one stop. A gain here on this mega bar, right? A tiny gain here in this red bar. Here's another favorable entry candle. There are days when there are no trades, okay everyone? None of the three are enabled; everything remains blank. Here's another win, and so it goes, just tell you that in February we had 13 in February we had 13 games and two losses. In March there were games and two losses. In March there were 14 games and five losses. And in this month of April, up to today's date, there have been 12 gains and five losses. Performance dropped a little here, but there are still two more days of operation.
