[00:04] day of day trading. I'm here, at least as usual, the kid started off crazy. He made the first downward move, gave it all back, broke the day's high, and then gave it all back and is breaking through the support. I've already

[00:20] marked this resistance here, this support, and we'll see how the price behaves at this support. Depending on what it does, we'll decide whether to go long or short. Baby, a priori, it felt this region of the day's low.

[00:36] priori, it felt this region of the day's low. precisely. You see that the breakout is really a consistent length. So what I'm going to try here is the most assertive type of operation

[00:52] in day trading, which is to enter on a pullback after a breakout. And you say that this type of operation is the most assertive? Where is that

[01:04] written, folks? I haven't seen that written anywhere. I'm saying this because of all the strategies I've used, this one has the highest success rate. So nobody told me that; I came to this conclusion

[01:19] told me that; I came to this conclusion after... After testing various strategies, here I am going to place a sell order at sell order at 445. This is a support level,

[01:32] and now it becomes a resistance. The idea is that it will trigger my sell order and start falling again. I set my stop loss at two minutes to place the stop loss at the high of the last candle. It will give a bridge effect. So you see, it's a

[01:48] simple operation to analyze, simple to execute, and highly assertive. If you only do this type of operation, I guarantee that in the long run you will be a winner. So, scalping is an operation in favor of the trend. Many

[02:04] people say, "Oh, but you're selling the bottom," right now I'm selling a bottom region. But I see many people saying, "Oh, it's not to sell the many people saying, "Oh, it's not to sell the bottom, it's to buy the top."

[02:18] All bottoms are only in price inflection regions, regions where the price changes direction. So there is no magic formula to operate the bottom.

[02:30] Turbo trading, in this case, operating at support or operating at resistance, there are techniques where you buy the support and others where you sell the pullback of a support breakout. And then you ask me, but which one is correct? Well, that depends. It depends

[02:48] on the market moment. It depends. What the market is doing at that moment depends on the context and a series of things. things.

[03:03] previous bar, without points, a target, and without points, a scalping operation. So, as I was saying, it will depend on the market moment. So, in theory, it's very easy to say, "Oh, just buy at support, just sell at resistance," or "Just sell at

[03:19] cover," or "Just buy at repair." That's true, folks, yes, but we ca n't take that literally because the market isn't an exact science. We can't predict the future, and we're not here for that.

[03:35] So, when we do an analysis, it's not to predict the future; we do to predict the future; we do analyses to identify operations with higher probabilities of success. The other day, there was even a comment on one of

[03:47] my videos from a trader who said that in a certain operation I did, he commented that without analysis it didn't make sense. I replied, "It really doesn't make sense because I'm not an analyst, I'm a trader, and a trader, besides analyzing,

[04:02] has to execute the operation, and besides executing, you have to manage the trade. We have to make decisions, and often in fractions of a second." So, that's why... The activity of day trading is extremely difficult, and each trader

[04:17] sees the market differently. The market is moving along there; some traders see buying opportunities, others selling opportunities. So when a trader makes a trade and you look at it and say, "Wow, that doesn't make sense," it

[04:31] really doesn't make sense to you, but for the person executing the trade, it makes perfect sense. Many times you look at the movement, and usually you look at the movement after it's done. So, for example, at the end

[04:44] of the day, you see the market completely bullish, and you think, "Wow, I just needed to buy here," and then you clearly identify the buying points. Okay, then clearly identify the buying points. Okay, then another day the market opens and

[04:57] starts making the same movement, and then you buy, and then you get a stop loss. And then someone who sees that says, "Wow, that doesn't make sense," but

[05:09] for you, who saw a pattern the next day, a buying pattern, it makes perfect sense. Of course, this is just an example, okay everyone? But it's to make it clear to you that day trading is not an exact science. There are many ways,

[05:24] and each person sees the market differently; this is natural. So let's continue, and here comes the... You're going to give this workout, look here, it's a real banger, I'm going to get this workout, look here, it's a real banger, I'm going to get ready to see if you come back,
