AI Summary

This video presents a day trading operational model for the Brazilian mini index (mini índice) that aims to achieve up to 400 points per day. The strategy uses two exponential moving averages (12-period and 100-period) on a 4-minute chart, with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio targeting 200 points per trade. The presenter explains entry triggers, color-coded moving averages, and risk management rules, including stopping after two consecutive wins or losses.

[00:06]
Introduction to the Model

The presenter shares a trading model he used before developing the Corus system, improved with additional information. It aims for 200 points per trade with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio, targeting 2-3 trades per day.

[02:10]
Chart Setup

Use a 4-minute chart with two exponential moving averages: 100-period and 12-period. The risk-reward ratio is always 1:1, targeting 200 points. After two consecutive wins or losses, close the day's operations.

[03:07]
Configuring Indicators

Set the 12-period moving average to exponential, thickness 3, and color white. Set the 100-period moving average to exponential, color white, thickness 2. Apply a coloring rule (standard 2mv) to the 12-period average to show red/green based on trend.

[04:36]
Entry Triggers

Only consider trades when price is outside the averages. If price is above the white average, only look for buys; if below, only sells. Wait for a correction to the average and a 'strength candle' indicating volume. Place a pending order just above (for buys) or below (for sells) that candle's high/low.

[06:38]
Trade Frequency

This model is restrictive; you may get 1-2 trades per day, or some days no trades at all. It requires clear separation between the averages and price moving outside them.

[08:28]
Example: Two Consecutive Wins

On a day, two trades were taken, each hitting 200 points, totaling 400 points. The presenter emphasizes following the rule of stopping after two consecutive wins.

[11:12]
Avoiding the First Trade

The presenter advises avoiding the first trade of the day if it's too close to the averages, as it may result in a stop loss. Waiting for a second, more distant trigger can improve success.

[12:10]
Handling Losses

A day with two consecutive stops is possible. The rule is to stop trading after two consecutive losses, preserving capital.

[13:06]
Patience and Consistency

Some days may have no triggers. The model requires patience to wait for clear setups where the price expands away from the averages, creating a gap for consistent entries.

This trading model offers a disciplined approach to day trading the mini index, focusing on clear setups and strict risk management. By aiming for 200 points per trade and stopping after two consecutive wins or losses, traders can potentially achieve consistent daily gains while limiting losses.

[00:06] that model I know you all really like, the study model I used for a while while I was trading, back when I didn't yet have the Corus trading system. I used this model, improved it a bit

[00:21] with some additional information I have now, and decided to share it with you. It might help those of you working with a trading model and missing something, maybe

[00:35] some element of this model will help you. Basically, it works with two moving averages, one with a color configuration that helps a lot in identifying entry triggers, and it works with a one-to-one risk-reward ratio to

[00:49] aim for 200 points per trade. That's right, 200 points applied to two or maybe three trades a day, depending on the situation. I explain. Interesting topic, so I

[01:03] invite you to subscribe to the channel if you have n't already. I invite you to binge-watch the channel and discover all the very relevant content we bell to receive notifications of every new video we post. It's also very

[01:16] important that you leave your comment at the end so I know what you thought of this video, if it helped you, if it didn't help you, if you believe something could be improved. Leave your comment here. And it's important that you leave

[01:29] that YouTube delivers this content to more people who would also like to learn about this type of strategy. I also invite you to follow us on Instagram. Follow our account there to keep up with

[01:43] daily information about day trading mini-index and mini- dollar, and especially about my operational strategy, the Corus operational strategy that I use every day trading mini-index and mini-dollar. If you are interested and want to purchase it,

[01:56] the link to our website is in the description of this video. No commitment. Go to the website, learn about the operational strategy, understand how it works, and leave your question. If you have any doubts, we take you to my screen where I'll explain how this operational model works

[02:10] to obtain 200 points per trade daily. Let's go! screen. Let me quickly explain what we... To apply this operational model, we first have a 4-minute chart. We'll

[02:25] use two moving averages: one 100- period exponential and another 12-period exponential. Our risk-reward ratio will risk-reward ratio will always aim for a 200-point target, a 200-point

[02:38] day. Remember that if we hit two consecutive positive or negative trades, we close the day's operations. That 's the recommendation. But you can test and adapt it according to your risk management. Okay, so here on the

[02:52] chart screen, we'll apply it. I've already set it to the 4-minute chart. So, click on the clock icon, look at the minutes, and select 4 minutes. It shows us exactly where you're setting your chart. So, set it to

[03:07] 4 minutes; that's the timeframe we 'll use. Let's go to indicators and insert the first moving average. So, indicators: moving average. I'll select the 12-period moving average, double-click on it,

[03:21] and set it to exponential. I'll also set the appearance of this moving average. Let's set the thickness to three and leave it... Since it's dashed, you don't need to change the color; we'll change that later. Click and click OK. Another

[03:34] tool we'll use on our screen is another moving average, this one with a slightly longer timeframe—the 100-period moving average. Double-click on it, go to Type, select Exponential, go to Appearance, set it

[03:49] to white, and set its thickness to two. Okay, so we have the two moving averages. This moving average here, which is green, I'll need to change a little something on it. You'll double-click on it and set its

[04:05] appearance to white. Apply and click OK. Then we'll right-click on this average and insert a coloring rule. This coloring rule will be the standard 2mv rule. Look, it's up here.

[04:21] You'll see that it applied a red and green coloring to this average, depending on what's being used here. What will our operation triggers be? The first thing you'll observe before thinking about making a

[04:36] trade is to look at the two averages. When I have this white average, and the price or the chart here is below the white average, I'll just... I'll only think about selling when it's above, I'll only

[04:51] think about buying. And then we'll move on to the part where I have to identify the trigger for the operation. So if the price is here, working within the averages, I don't plan to do anything, there's

[05:03] averages, I don't plan to do anything, there's nothing to be done here, okay? I'll only is working outside the averages. At this point, I have nothing to do. What I'll observe when this price is working outside the averages, for

[05:15] example, here it has passed, now it's working above the averages. What do I need to happen for me to have an operation? Nothing here, so that you understand very well, here I have this example where

[05:28] I'm looking for my entry trigger, which is exactly at this point. What I need to happen for me to have a trigger is that the price is working, the chart is working outside the averages, and I need to observe the trend

[05:42] at the moment. So, for example, here's what I have happening that's interesting: the price is working outside and above the averages. I look at this average, it's below, and the 100-period average, the 12-period average, right above. I need this to happen,

[05:55] right above. I need this to happen, a correction. When it corrects at this point... On average, I'll wait, since for me it only counts if it's a buy. I'll wait for a candle that indicates the buying volume. This candle here,

[06:08] we often call a "strength candle," right? So when this candle appears, I 'll mark a position just above it. If it breaks, I have my entry trigger set at that point. When it happens, I'll enter

[06:23] my order at that point. It will set a Stop Loss 200 points below and my Target 200 points above. In this case, the entry occurred, and it hit my target. It's a trigger, a trading model that doesn't happen all the time on the chart.

[06:38] happen all the time. So you'll get one or two trades a day, or some days might even go by without a trade. This model is very restricted for you to be taking trades. This was on the buy side, and when does it happen on the

[06:53] sell side? Very well, here I've reserved a trading model specifically on the sell side. So I also have here, I'll mark for you, look, a trigger positioned on the sell side, just like what happened there. The price came, worked,

[07:07] corrected here, with this blue candle. The next candle is a red candle, which leaves for me... A trigger was activated in sequence, and with that trigger activated, I

[07:19] had my entry. Let me position it here for you to visualize. I had my entry way back there, near the stop, and then it came and hit my target down here. An example for you, one for buying and another for selling. And

[07:34] we're going to take a few days here and observe from the beginning of the day so we can understand which operations were happening. Very well, an example here, the beginning of the day. I already pulled because, look, nothing is happening at this moment.

[07:47] The price came, something else too. When this average here is white, it be green or red. So, for example, it came here, corrected, and left

[07:59] white lines, and it came to work within the price. Nothing to be done. I need it to be very clear in the operation. So here I have the correction at this point. Actually, I have it here and I have it down here. Okay, so let's

[08:14] have it down here. Okay, so let's mark here. There was a correction, it left a red candle, and I have an operation here. At this point, it was broken here by this red, right? I have the target down here. So there's an operation

[08:28] done in sequence. I observe and see that there's another operation here. At this point, the blue candlestick corrected the red candlestick posted here, and then I'll red candlestick posted here, and then I'll observe in sequence if it activated. It

[08:41] activates, I see that it activated. Look how it activated, I also have the target hit here below, two operations within the suggested management for the operational plan. So, since the opening, we had one entry with 200 points,

[08:56] another entry with 200 points, 400 points on that day. And then I don't do anything else, I move on to another day. Very well, here we have another day, it's working below, it already opened working below, it

[09:08] came and left a red candlestick. At this point, I'll observe, and ideally, you should n't do it right away, right? In this case, it even worked out well, look, you enter, entry was at this point, look, the stop is up there and the target is down here, but it's

[09:24] good not to take it right away, okay? You wait in sequence, it also did the wait in sequence, it also did the same thing, it corrected, and the entry would be at this point, which also came to the target independently, then both went to the

[09:38] target. But it's good for us to leave this one out of the initial part, let's leave it here. It was an operation, then in sequence it came and did... The same correction here, but there was no breakout, so we disregard it and wait for it to make

[09:54] a move further away, working between the averages. There's absolutely nothing to be done; it hasn't left the averages at any point. So nothing to be done here. At this point, it leaves and starts working above, then goes back to

[10:11] working below. It's moving somewhat sideways, right? So now I have to wait for it to distance itself and give a trigger here. This trigger happens exactly at this point, see KLE 69. Let me mark it here. When

[10:26] it left the averages, it made that point. I place an order, it goes and hits up there on my order. Just pay attention to this: it's working within the averages; it needs to leave them, right? Here it was working between

[10:42] the averages. Between the averages here, I could consider it... No, it's close to the averages now. Here it has already distanced itself two or three candles from the average, it came to correct at the average, so we have this trigger. So, here they have already marked it here for you. Let me go up

[10:57] here. At the beginning of the day we had a... if it hadn't hit here, it would have hit here. Two more successful trades today, so that makes two days with 200 points each. As I told you, it's good to avoid the first trade

[11:12] could have caught the second one, right? Since it's far away, it 's interesting to avoid this first one. Try to catch the second one. In this case, let's take the example of mark this one, right? It hit here, and I already know it hit the

[11:27] stop up there. So, as an example of a stop, that's why I said it's good to avoid the first one of the day. Very well, in sequence. Look, it goes out, keeps working touching the averages here, nothing to be done, right? It's in the middle of them, then it

[11:41] starts working below, returns to the middle of the averages, and here at this point it goes up, it the averages, and here at this point it goes up, it comes and touches the averages here. In this case, it made the entry, or rather, it would be here, it made the entry, it came close to

[11:56] the stop, let me mark it here to make it very visual, look, it broke through this candle, it came close to the stop, right? It's working up there, I think it already hit the stop, look, it hit the stop down here. So this was a day of... Two stops, so it

[12:10] also happens that you get... And then you get two stops, there's nothing more to be done, so two days with gains and one day with a stop. Let's go to the next day. stop. Let's go to the next day. Here it opened between the averages, nothing to be

[12:24] done, it went back to working in the middle of them. Nothing to be done on this day, it came and worked here in the middle of the averages, let me pull it here, it distanced itself, when it returned to the averages it's working between them again, the average working between

[12:37] white and green there, nothing to be done, completely sideways, it returns here to the average, when it returns here it leaves a white line between the averages, nothing to be done either, then now it distances itself, now I'm attentive to a

[12:51] possible trigger, it comes here, works on the average, leaves my trigger here activated, and a little more it comes here to the target, this one took a little while to trigger, I said that there are days that will even be without a trigger, right? And then in

[13:06] even be without a trigger, right? And then in sequence it comes and leaves another trigger here, entry target down there, stop up there, looking a little more it comes and hits my target down here, so two positive trades, day

[13:19] closed here, so you have to be very attentive, it worked here mixing with the averages, forget it. I need him to do this, he expands, he opens a gap between the averages so that I can have a consistent entry. I'm a

[13:31] bit unsure here, it's too close together. Wait, wait, the most interesting signal is coming. Very well. So, folks, added some content, something important for you, that you can take

[13:44] advantage of it, not all the content, but some information that will complement your operational strategy that you already use daily. If it helps you in any way, even a little bit, our objective will have been achieved, which is to always

[13:59] bring relevant information to you. If you didn't subscribe at the beginning, you can subscribe now, activate the bell to receive notifications, leave your like to motivate our work, and it's important that you tell me what you
