[00:01] scalping strategy I use for my Bitcoin trades. I'll be trading these trades in the futures market, specifically on the using the link in the description, you'll be able to copy my
[00:13] make in my personal account will be automatically copied to yours. chart, and I'll explain how my strategy works and the five rules you must follow to achieve profitability in just 30 days. Rule
[00:28] Bitcoin chart, but on the 5-minute timeframe. To do this, click on "5m," and there you have it, the 5-minute chart. Rule number two is to use Hain Ashi candlesticks. To do this, click on these candlesticks and
[00:43] select Hain Ashi. Rule number three is to use two moving averages. To do this, go to " Indicators" and look for "4 EMAs." Use the one that says "4 EMAs from TR Uri." Click on it, and once
[00:58] Duration" settings. In the inputs section, in the first field we enter the number nine, and in the second field we enter 500. We go to Style and EMAs. In this case, the first one will be black, and I'll make it a little
[01:12] thicker. The second EMA, which is the 500-period EMA, will be orange, and I'll also make it thicker. Now we click OK. Once we have the EMAs in place, we will only trade in the
[01:24] which trend we are in, it's as simple as knowing which side we are on of the 500- If we are above it, as in this case, we will only trade long, and if
[01:36] we are below it, as it would be here, we will only trade short. Rule number four is to add the last indicator, which would be the RSI. We type RSI in the indicators search bar and click on the one that says
[01:48] at the bottom, we close this window and go to the settings. From this little gear icon, we uncheck this. The second field is the RCI base TMA, and we click " accept." This will help us take our trades when we're
[02:02] above the RCI, meaning outside the upper channel. We'll take short trades as long as we're below the 500-period EMA, and when we're below it, we'll take
[02:14] long trades as long as we're above the 500-period EMA. This way, we'll always be trading with the trend. Rule number five is not to trade based on news. For this, we go to the Cryptocom website, which I'll
[02:28] description, so we can see the high-impact financial news Once we're on the website, we click on "calendar" and select the current day, in this case, Friday, July 12th. As you can see at the
[02:41] shows the current time in our region, which is the same as the computer's time. As you can see here, it's 9:17 PM. 9:17 pm, therefore we have the local time. This is very important to verify because it might be
[02:53] once you verify it, you're going to look at the high-impact news impact news will be marked in red and orange. So, it's important that you mark the on the chart. For
[03:07] a high- impact news item. If an opportunity to enter a trade had arisen at that time, whether a few minutes before or a few minutes after, we wouldn't take it
[03:19] because a news item was released at that time, and fundamental analysis is technical analysis. It's important not to take financial news into account. So, what I do if there's news at 9:30 am, for example, is go to the
[03:32] Bitcoin chart, select this tool, which is the vertical line tool, which you can find on the left by clicking here and selecting "vertical line," and I set it to the time. In this case, it was 9:30 am. We position ourselves at... 99:30 for
[03:45] example here, and that's it. As you can see, I placed the vertical line here to avoid trading on that candle. Not before, not after, obviously, a few minutes. Generally, two candles before, two candles after would be a good time to avoid trading. And now that we know the five
[03:57] opportunities we could have found by following them. As you can see of the channel. This means we could open a long position, that is, a bullish trade at this point, but we couldn't do it because the candles are
[04:12] below the 500-period EMA, which is the orange one. This means we couldn't enter a bullish trade because we would be trading against the trend. Therefore, we wouldn't take this type of trade. I'm
[04:25] see which trades to avoid. Here we see that the price meaning we are in an uptrend, but the RCI has always stayed above it, never below. Therefore, in this range, we wouldn't have... Having taken no
[04:38] below the 500-period EMA, therefore we are in a downtrend. We see that the RCI closed above it on this occasion and on this other occasions we could have traded two short positions, that is, two short positions.
[04:53] first one and then on the other. The first thing we are going to do is check that there is no news in this range. It is Friday, July 12th at 3:45 AM. For this, we open Cryptocom, go to the calendar, locate Friday the 12th, and see that at
[05:08] 3:40 AM there is no news in red. news at that time. To open it, we are going to do it in the a short. We select the short position tool and click
[05:22] exactly when the candles touch the nine-period EMA, which is the black one. We click at this point when the candle closes below or touching the EMA and we place the Stop Loss. Above the previous high,
[05:36] giving it a little breathing room. That would be fine, this would also be we're going to try to maintain this two-to-one trade. As you can see here, it says 1.45. This means that we are risking 1% and we would be going for
[05:51] exactly 1.45, almost 1.5. In this case, we're going to put it at two to one. If we want to go two to one, that would be exactly the number two. This means that we are risking half of what we would gain, and in this
[06:05] risk-reward management. As you can see, this trade was a winning trade, but how long should we hold it if the 2 to 1 stays at this point? Well, we could keep this trade open until the RCI reaches the
[06:19] lower part, gets quite close, or closes below the channel. Otherwise, until it happens. Therefore, we have our first winning trade following all the rules I just mentioned. The
[06:31] next entry is this one we have here, which is exactly at 9:30 AM on Friday the 12th. In July, let's go back to Crypto Craft on Friday, July 12th at 9:30 AM. Looking at the calendar, July 12th at 9:30 AM,
[06:44] we place our vertical line at 9:30 AM and see that the news is right at our entry point. This means we won't take this trade because we have a high-impact news item that could cause us to
[06:57] lose. However, if we were to take this position regardless of the news, placing the stop loss above the previous high, aiming for a profit of 2 to 1, we would see that this trade would have been a
[07:09] taken this one because we have a high-impact news item. So, this trade wouldn't be taken. Let's go back a little further to look at other uptrend. The RCI was never
[07:22] opportunity to take bullish positions was generated. So, we don't because we have the RCI to take a bullish position, but we are in a trend. A bearish position wouldn't be taken here either. We have a
[07:36] short position with the RCI, but it's not being taken because we're not going to trade against the trend on this side either. And here, as you
[07:54] above the nine- period EMA. Therefore, this trade wouldn't have been taken. Beyond the fact that we haven't looked at the news, it no longer meets candles close above or touching the nine-period EMA. But at this
[08:07] point, it does close above the EMA, which means that at this point we could take our position as long as we do n't have any high- impact news. For that, we go back to CryptoCraft and check that on Tuesday,
[08:19] July 9th at 10:25 PM there is no news, and we see that on July 9th at 10:20 PM there is no news, so we can take the position without any problem. There is news at... 10:30 But this is an
[08:33] another one of the 11 that we also don't care about, and besides, they are yellow, not red, which means they are not high impact. So we can take the position here. We select the long position tool because
[08:46] this means a long position, and we select our entry right when the candle closes above the EMA. This means that you would open it on the next candle here, placing the stop loss below the previous low,
[08:58] always. We will always go for double what we risk in each operation, and as you can see, this is also a winning operation. Here we are on Tuesday, July 9th, also at 4:55 in the morning. We go to Crypto Craft and check if we
[09:13] have any news at 4:55 or 5 in the morning. We don't have any, long position. We select the long position tool again and open it when the candle closes above the 9-period EMA. At
[09:25] this point, the stop loss is below the previous low. Always trying to go one by one, this has also been fulfilled here. We wouldn't take a position below, therefore we don't trade against the trend. Here we have a
[09:38] short position, but we are above, so we are not going to trade against the trade wouldn't be taken at this point either. Here we see that the RCI on Monday the 8th at 2 therefore it gives us a signal of a downward entry, that is, a short entry at
[09:54] have to check that there is no high-impact news in to Monday and look for any high-impact news at 2 AM. On Monday the 8th there was no news in the
[10:08] could have taken this position. Notice that when the candle closes at the nine-period EMA, we take our position, the Stop Loss above the previous high, going to look for a two-to- one again. A two-to-one would be at
[10:22] this point, and as you can see, this trade has been lost, so This means that keep in mind that many of these trades will be won and many others will be wins. In addition, we have very good risk management because
[10:35] what we stand to gain. So let's summarize this week to see strategy, assuming we always risk 1% and go up to 2%. Today we would have lost 1%, so
[10:50] Monday would have ended with a 1% loss. On our second opportunity, which was Tuesday, July 9th, we had a 2% gain. This means that we already have a 1% gain for the week. The
[11:05] third signal on Tuesday at 10:45 PM resulted in another winning trade, as this one also generated a 2% gain, giving us a weekly profit of 3%. On Wednesday and Thursday, we had no
[11:20] entries, and on Friday, that is, today, we had an opportunity which generated another 2%, so we would have closed the week with a 5% gain. Because of the positive balance you can see, this strategy is profitable and can truly lead to
[11:35] to the letter. But before I end this video, I want to tell you rule number six, which is not to trade on weekends or US bank holidays. This is because the US has a large
[11:50] crypto market, and when there is low volume, it is very easy to manipulate lose our trades. Therefore, I will only trade from Monday to Friday, and only if there is no major news event or
[12:05] holiday. One piece of advice I can give you is to always secure your profits. Remember that trading is not about how much you can earn, but about who loses the least and who can best protect their capital over
[12:19] time. So it is very important that you always try to protect your capital as much as possible. For example, you could take partial profits when the trade is halfway through, or at least move the stop loss to the
[12:31] entry price to cover the costs of this trade and eliminate any risk of losing. This is a profitable trade. I also want to invite you to the description) and join my WhatsApp community (also
