First Candle Strategy: 300 Points in One Trade
45sPromises a simple, high-profit trading strategy that appeals to beginners and experienced traders alike.
▶ Play ClipThis video presents a trading strategy focused on the first candle of the day in the Brazilian mini-index market. The instructor, Viana, shares techniques to achieve 300-point profits in a single trade by observing the auction, virtual candles, and volume-weighted average price (VAP) levels. The emphasis is on making fewer, higher-quality trades and ending the month in profit.
The market opening is the best time to trade, and the goal is to hit 300 points in the first trade.
Improving first-bar results requires observing previous days' behavior, especially around VAP levels.
The auction screen shows the opening point and virtual candle. The difference between mini and full contracts indicates arbitrage opportunities.
By buying and selling at auction, traders can achieve a zero-to-zero position, guaranteeing free access to Profit Pro after five such operations.
Instead of entering at the top of the first candle, wait for price to pull back to VAP and confirm a green candle before buying.
Entering at the top of a candle risks a 300-point stop loss. Waiting for a pullback near VAP reduces risk.
The goal is to end the month in profit, not the day. Fewer trades reduce exposure and increase the chance of monthly success.
If two candles close above VAP, buy; if two close below, sell. This pattern often leads to 300-point gains.
Observing how price interacts with VAP at the start of the day can reveal high-probability trades.
Avoid taking profits at 50 or 100 points. Aim for at least 150 points per trade to achieve monthly goals.
To be a good observer, one must be a good theorist. VAP theory provides a framework for observing market behavior.
The two-candle VAP strategy yielded 14 consecutive winning trades, demonstrating its effectiveness.
Averaging down can lead to a 375-point stop loss. Instead, wait for a pullback to VAP and a green candle confirmation.
The video provides a practical strategy for trading the first candle of the day using VAP levels and candle confirmation. By observing previous days and waiting for optimal entries, traders can achieve consistent 300-point gains with minimal risk.
"Title promises easy profit on the first candle, and the video delivers a specific strategy, though results require skill and observation."

14:33[00:01] market opening, both the auction and the first candle of the day. And today I'm going to share with you some updates, some filters for you to apply to the first candle of the day. And that first candle, the market opening, is always the
[00:14] best time to trade. And I'm going to teach you how to hit the target, how to get teach you how to hit the target, how to get 300 points in your very first trade. To be a good observer, one must be a good theorist. So I'm going to share some
[00:27] good theories with you here about market opening to help you pass the year, make fewer trades, hit your target in a single trade if possible, and rest for the remainder of the day. Want to learn? So come with me, let's play the intro.
[00:50] Hello, welcome! I'm Viana, and it's a great pleasure to have you here on my channel. So , you know the drill: leave a like on the intro, subscribe to the channel, turn on notifications, follow me on other social media for
[01:04] more tips and content, and become a channel member, guys. Well, since the first video on this channel, I've always talked about the market opening, right? And a lot of people, you know,
[01:19] market opening, right? And a lot of people, you know, set up the first bar and only make that trade. I know people who don't make any trades other than the first bar. So, today I'm going to show you some things you can
[01:34] you some things you can do to improve the results, okay? And this requires observation of the previous days. Okay, let me zoom out on my screen here. This screen you see
[01:49] here is the is the auction. Let me tidy this up nicely . The screen you see here is the auction screen. I'll even go
[02:02] back a little bit, look. Uh, before I talk about the first bar. Oh, 855 o'clock . The market, it opened there
[02:15] . The market, it opened there at 138 339. Do you see that sidebar? Let me move out of the way here because I might be getting in the way, right? So the opening point was right here . So, at 8:55 sharp, there's already a
[02:30] business intention, as you can see here. And there it is down there at 137 895. So it opened at 138, it's already at 137. And I it opened at 138, it's already at 137. And I 'm marking where it passed. Where
[02:45] opening. The closing time will be when the first candle opens. So, on the left side here, I have the dollar. I don't draw a virtual candle on it, but I learn about auctions? The link is in the video description, okay? Just go to
[03:01] my website and you can see the difference between the minimum and the full price. So here, look, the market hit that low down there , okay? He ran inside the spot where he had already walked. To draw this here, you come here to
[03:14] level detector which is this white line here on the side and the price goes down. Oh, the line disappeared! Oh, this line will show us where the candle is, where the
[03:26] trading is happening, and we'll be drawing it manually, okay? If this, for example, gives me a bullish bar, right, a virtual bar, and the first bar of the day is a bullish bar , it makes me want to buy more,
[03:40] , it makes me want to buy more, you know? Look how far it's come! , look. I kind of just eyeballed it. I saw that it
[03:53] kind of just eyeballed it. I saw that it was there. It can open from to see what I did. I ended up making a dollar trade and then canceling it, right? Because look here, we have a sell arbitrage, right? The
[04:10] full price is much lower than the mini's. And then I'll go over there and see. I also see I'll go over there and see. I also see that there is intent and protection of the sale. I teach all these rules in the auction course. It's really cheap, so you shouldn't
[04:24] auction course. It's really cheap, so you shouldn't do it, you know? So you arrive here at 8:55 a.m. months to prepare. At least now you have something to look at. A trade might come up , you know. And here I am almost selling, look . I'll be selling it for 10 seconds, look. 10. I'm going to
[04:38] sell it, look. 847. There's a selling arbitrage opportunity, I'm going to sell. From this sale. If I want to cancel this sale, I have to click on buy. So I'll go in long and short, break even , okay? So, when do I
[04:52] cancel? If this becomes available for purchase, since it's still on sale, right? Oh, 77 7. Now it's time to buy, oh. Then I'll go there , I'll click on buy, and when the market opens I 'll be both long and short at
[05:05] 'll be both long and short at zero. He was selling something. Now the mini is below the full size. He was at least 10 points above the full limit. So I at least 10 points above the full limit. So I sold it. Oh look, it opened up, zero to zero. This
[05:18] is a great way for you to guarantee the free access to Profit, right? Oh, I haven't learned how to trade, I want to get Profit Pro for free. All you have to do is perform
[05:30] five of these operations, get to the auction, buy and sell, it will open auction, buy and sell, it will open at zero to zero, or it can be during the market, it's the trading session itself, right? After the
[05:42] market opens, if you make five trades with this contract, you've already secured 10 mini- you can see, after clicking "sell" to exit the short position, I have to click " buy" on another contract. Therefore, each negotiation with one contract is essentially two
[05:54] contracts. If you make five trades with one contract, you've already traded 10 contracts, guaranteeing free profit. Okay, I'm going to go straight to the
[06:06] mini-index screen now, and here I wanted to explain things to you. Look, in 2 minutes and 50 seconds. I'm looking at the economic calendar here . We have the PMI release at 10 AM . We have the PMI release at 10 AM here in Brazil and the PMI release at 11 AM
[06:20] in the United States. Hey guys, that bar right there, it's already calling you Hey guys, that bar right there, it's already calling you . But what have I seen in the
[06:37] , but it seems like they're only going there to stop out 300 points. Yesterday was like this : he goes there and stops exactly at 300 points , then goes back to the target. So
[06:49] For those averaging the price, it hasn't stalled. Now, for those entering stalled. Now, for those entering with a stop game, a stop loss, without starting with a small contract, a 300-point stop, at this exact
[07:07] 300-point stop, at this exact moment I don't see much advantage moment I don't see much advantage in entering at the top of this candle. So what are you waiting for, Viana? It's mainly news day, is
[07:20] He might stay on the sidelines until 11, right? I don't know. So what happens? I'll wait for it to settle a bit lower down there on VOAP, closing a green candle, then I'll enter on
[07:36] its breakout. Look, I just entered the breakout of that candle that rested on the VAP, see. I could have gone up there. I think it would have been stopped, right? Oh, I think it wouldn't be exactly 300 points. So, just imagine, if I had
[07:50] bought here, I would have been stopped out. Then I see him going up there because I did that, right? I expected it to drop a bit, so I did n't buy it at VO. You could have bought it from VOAP too, okay? I waited to see if this candle would
[08:04] break out to seek the adjustment, because there's an adjustment down here. No, it closed a green candle here. I buy at his maximum price. I was supposed to buy it up here . I'm around 70 or 80 points. If you score up to 100 points, you'll be in
[08:18] profit. And my stop sign is well protected down here. Imagine how many other people also came in here already sold. Oh my God, it reached the top, this sell bar appeared here, he's going to close the gap now, he's going to grab the adjustment. Imagine
[08:33] how many sardines. You have to think with common sense. Imagine how many people came in here already sold. And you think the majority wins? No. So what did I do, man? He went there and robbed everyone who had bought something. Now everyone's
[08:47] to close the deal. He has every reason in the world, right? To find the bottom, to close the gap, and to seek adjustment. And who draws the virtual candle? Ah, to fill it in up to 136 of the virtual candle. And then what happens? Once
[09:03] he's gone, I'm already protected at zero, look. I 'm already protected at zero to zero. So it broke the high here, I went in and now I'm at 300 points. Ah, I see, you've already paid 150. Why did n't you leave? Because it was, so, oh,
[09:18] points, look. See? It was supposed to come up here. I entered with a 120- point profit, right? That was exactly there at 10 seconds , right? Sometimes it was higher up , right? So I'm already
[09:32] ahead, right? 150 points from this point now, which was supposed to have happened earlier, makes 300 points, and the main line is up there. So it's not worth it because if I end up with 150 points here, I'll have to make
[09:46] another trade. I'm going to have to put myself out there again. And the less you expose yourself, the greater the chance of ending the month in the black. It's not about ending the day in the black, it's about ending the month in the black. When you understand this,
[10:02] everything will change in your lives. Oh, Viana, my God, it's almost reached the main line, I can't take it anymore. I'll get 230 points, then I'll only get 70. Stop it. The chance of him reaching my target right now is much greater than if he turns back
[10:16] and draws me to zero. So, here's the first bar of the day. Look at the first bar of the day. Look at the previous days. Did you see that there are some losses? Enter the pullback phase, because what behavior is it exhibiting? Oh, go back to
[10:30] your graph, you'll see. Sure, there are days when it doesn't get stuck on VOAP, but almost every day, at the start of trading, it's stuck on VOAP. So wait to make a trade near VAP,
[10:43] folks. And in this case, I waited for a green candle to close there, indicating that those people who were selling were going to get screwed. And here I reached my
[10:55] going to get screwed. And here I reached my goal in just one trade, folks. A goal in just one trade, folks. A trade. He finished. I'm not going to trade anymore. Who's pushing the market? Goldman Sax. This
[11:07] Sax. This mini-index contract, the protagonist here is Goldman Sachs, they're the ones always pushing the market. But here I wasn't even looking at big players today, I was just looking at the
[11:20] virtual candle and it gave me a very significant bullish bar, right? And then it closed another bullish bar. I could have come up here. If I had averaged down, I would have averaged down and exited even
[11:35] earlier, but if I hadn't, I would have been stopped out with the same contract yesterday. Yesterday was the same thing. So I did n't need to go back very far to know that
[11:47] I wasn't going to enter at the top of this candle. So what 's trending? That's what's always happening. Look what happened this day
[11:59] . He gave a red bar and then stopped , right? So here I wouldn't have sold because, well, it didn't close. If they had closed another red bar here, I would have gone in. So, look at
[12:11] how the market is getting tangled up at Velap at the start of the day , right? Look how it's getting tangled up in the VOAP. Here, look, 1 of the Cas above the VOAP.
[12:23] Start paying attention to this, okay? Free tip for those who stayed until the end, huh? It closed one or two candles above the vapor pressure level here, look. See? The second one didn't even touch the VAP. Buy. If it were going down, sell it. That's a
[12:39] trade we've been observing in the live trading room, right? One student even brought along, oh, another Kendle who called him down here, oh, went up, rested on the VAP, came here, oh. Imagine, you were supposed to have landed here, you
[12:52] 're 140 points ahead in profit. He came in here, look. Or now you've observed a look. Or now you've observed a daily trend where the market is closing two
[13:04] bars above the VOAP, going up, or two bars below, going down, showing this end of the candle right here, and everything's fine, right? Have you observed this behavior? Have you looked at the behavior from previous days? How
[13:18] is it going this month? How is this contract going? Are we getting stuck on VOAP flights a lot? I hope to return to VAP. Ah, Viana, what if he went up? What to do ? You didn't do anything, but you didn't lose anything either. So, it's about choosing a
[13:33] lose anything either. So, it's about choosing a trade and hitting the target, right? If you enter a trade like this, you won't get 150 points. And one more thing, and I want to draw your attention to this again, there is no such thing as 50 points. Stop getting 50
[13:49] points, stop getting 100 points. It's at least 150. You, who are there, and I suspect you haven't turned the key yet because you're still getting too yet because you're still getting too few points, right? Well,
[14:03] try not to get anywhere with less than 150 points. Two, three, you've got your life sorted out. Oh, there was a pullback here, look. It was supposed to come up here. I'm entering with 150 points. Actually, right here at the top of
[14:20] this candle, look, 100 points, what if it's 120 points of profit, man. It's so hard for me to get 300 points, isn't it? The guiding principle is being respected far too much, you see.
[14:33] That line was drawn on Sunday. So, uh, the bill is yours. Learning rules won't help . I don't know what. Yeah, and there's no observation. There's no
[14:46] which is great, right? To be a good observer, you need to be a good theorist. You need theory to have something to observe, right? I just passed on to observe, right? I just passed on to you an observation from VAP,
[15:01] right? It closed two candles above or below. In this case, we had a not even going to look. The market closed for a few minutes. Very strange. Oh, it closed one candle above the VAP. He bought it, and it paid off
[15:17] candle above the VAP. He bought it, and it paid off . Start paying attention to this, okay? One more thing to note. Here's another theory for you to consider. One, two down, close. He sold it, paid 300 points, look. It's possible to have hit the target in just one trade
[15:31] . Let's see when was the last time this went wrong at the start of the day, okay? Oh, it closed one, two down. I sold it here. No, I didn't want to sell it here, I sold it here. He won too, okay? So that's the advantage of
[15:48] that we discover along the way, right? I'm just passing this on to you all, but the community is really great, it's never the community is really great, it's never been stronger. And these are
[16:00] spectacular people who will contribute greatly to your operations. It didn't your operations. It didn't close here, did it? The first candle that closed below the VAP here afterwards, look, it didn't stop out and then paid out,
[16:20] It is not a moving average. Oh, it closed one, two above, oh, it burst. Let's find a loss here. That 'll be fair, right? Otherwise, constantly showing off your winnings makes it seem like you're not infallible.
[16:33] He called down again. It went down. Dude, if you guys have a good understanding of VAP, your results will change a lot. Oh, it called upwards,
[16:45] another candle called downwards, it returned above the VOAP. I bought it, he paid. I do n't want to say anything, you know? Oh, it closed one candle below, two below the price. Wow, I've already been there for
[16:59] price. Wow, I've already been there for more than 10 days, huh? 12 days and no losses. Oh, it closed one candle below the VAP here. Oh, I didn't want to below the VAP here. Oh, I didn't want to go in here. I came in here. He won too,
[17:11] oh. Even though it's late. Let's find a loss. That's when I stop, right? If there are no losses at all, then we're screwed. You're going to get spoiled. It 's stuck here in the VAP. He does nothing, he has nothing to do. No, it didn't
[17:23] register at all. But then it fell below VOAP, which resulted in a gain, but I'm not going to include that in the calculation. Look at the trade here! He called down, he went up, you see? He continued holding it up here, see?
[17:38] If I had sold here, I would have been stopped, oh. Okay, here, I would have been stopped, oh. Okay, I found it, man. 14 days straight doing this, huh? So, having that kind of observation. And you saw that many
[17:50] traders called the last one, now it's up or down, and set a stop loss, then went straight to the target. So, if I know that this is happening, well, at this moment, right, during this period in which this is happening, I can avoid entering
[18:06] Now, whoever was averaging down, fell, reached the VAP (Value Added Percentage), waited for at least 200, 150 points, averaged down, and would n't have been stopped out, because then the stop would have been down here, at 375 points.
[18:20] He kissed the stop sign, didn't he? So, do n't go averaging down now. closed up here, wait for it to return to VOAP, confirm a green candle. Here, I bought it and got 300 points. This happens often, you don't even have to
[18:35] wait long. So, here's a brand new trade for you guys on this channel. I've never talked about this on this channel before. I always mention in the live trading room to participate in the live candlestick trading room; the link is in the description. Want to
