AI Summary

The video presents a scalping strategy for the Brazilian Mini Index (MINI INDICE) using a 2-minute chart, the Hilo Activator indicator, and financial volume analysis. The creator demonstrates a disciplined approach that requires multiple confirmations before entering a trade, aiming for a 150-point target with a 150-point stop loss.

[00:02]
Introduction to Scalping Strategy

The video introduces a simple yet effective scalping strategy for the Mini Index, claiming impressive performance with just two basic indicators.

[00:56]
Chart Setup

Set the chart to a 2-minute timeframe. Use the Hilo Activator indicator (also called Halo Activator) and financial volume indicator. Insert the Hilo Activator directly on the chart and the financial volume in a separate window below.

[01:23]
Volume Line Setup

Add a horizontal line on the volume indicator to mark the previous candle's volume. This line serves as a reference to compare volume surges.

[02:05]
Risk-Reward Configuration

Set the risk-reward ratio to 150 points for both target and stop loss. This can be configured in the order form under 'Strategy' > 'Customize' by selecting gain 30 and loss 30 (likely meaning 150 points each).

[02:41]
Trading Rationale

The strategy uses the Hilo Activator to determine trend direction and financial volume to gauge momentum. The goal is to catch continuation moves when volume confirms the trend.

[03:08]
Volume Comparison Technique

Compare the current candle's volume with the previous candle's volume. Place a horizontal line on the previous volume bar; if the next volume bar surpasses it, it indicates increasing volume.

[04:06]
Convergence Requirement

For a valid entry, there must be convergence: a red candle with a red Hilo and increasing selling volume for a sell; or a green candle with a green Hilo and increasing buying volume for a buy.

[05:06]
Confirmation Candles

Require at least two candles showing the same direction (e.g., two red candles for a sell) to confirm the reversal before entering a trade.

[06:14]
Example Trade

After multiple confirmations, a sell entry is triggered when a red candle closes with volume exceeding the previous and Hilo red. The trade hits the 150-point target successfully.

[09:00]
Discipline and Patience

The strategy emphasizes patience and discipline. Avoid entering when there is indecision or lack of confirmation. It's acceptable to skip trades and wait for high-probability setups.

[10:44]
Daily Goal and Conclusion

The creator suggests that achieving 450 points in a day is a good result. The video concludes with a reminder to subscribe and check out other related videos.

The strategy relies on strict confluence of trend, volume, and confirmation candles, aiming for consistent small gains with a defined risk-reward ratio. Success depends on discipline and patience, avoiding impulsive trades.

[00:02] What if I told you that it's possible to scalp in an absurdly simple way, and best of all, effectively, with impressive performance? Today I want to applied some time ago. In fact, I only included two

[00:15] very basic, yet extremely effective indicators, which greatly optimized the results with this model. I'll explain in detail how to set up this template. But first, I'm going to ask you to subscribe to the channel, turn on

[00:29] notifications, give it a thumbs up if you really enjoyed it, and Instagram. There are many subscribers here who watch the videos, but they don't daily updates about my operations. Results,

[00:43] recorded operations, lots of tips. Follow them, it will be well worth it for you. Now cool information to share with you. It will certainly help you a lot. Let's go here on our screen. Let me explain to you what we're going to need

[00:56] for this operational model. We'll need our chart to be set to a 2- minute timeframe. We're going to use an indicator that I love working with, which is the Rilo Activator. It's very useful to

[01:09] work with when you're using the trend factor. Let's right-click and insert a bookmark. Then you put Hello Activator, H L, right? Halo Activator. Insert the code directly into the chart and click OK. In addition, we're

[01:23] , insert indicator. Enter the financial volume here, then insert it in the window below. Give it an OK. We'll put it here; mine test. This line here is a normal line, okay? Come here to the right side, to the

[01:38] its name comes out as resistance, right? Just click on it. Click here, and it will set up the line for us. They're going to click on it. Mine is blue, right? Then all you have to do is format it. Then you add a color to it, right? I put it in blue. So,

[01:51] speaking of appearance, just use blue, thickness three, and nothing else. In terms of You're going to right-click on the volume bars and have it set the type of color placement, such as high and low volume colors. Ready. And that's the

[02:05] When I make a trade, our risk-reward ratio will be 150 points. So, you can set a target of 150, a top of 150. When you start trading,

[02:17] it will already apply this to us, okay? How do I do that? I don't know if you already know this, but in the order form that appears on the right, you simply go to the strategy, then to customize, and

[02:29] the strategy, then to customize, and select gain 30 loss 30. Once you do that, it will automatically apply the strategy for us. Very good. What is the rationale here? How am I supposed to perform the operation here? We will use the activator relay to work on

[02:41] financial volume to understand whether that volume is attractive or not. And we're going to try to catch the momentum, to continue some kind of momentum. For example, I have a bar here with a red saleswoman, you know

[02:54] . I want to capture the continuity of this movement. It's falling here, it's a sale. So, at the end of this section, I'm going to look at some information that I they're consistent, I'll make my entrance and go to the audio. And here we're

[03:08] going to operate primarily based on financial volume. So, I'll need to compare the volume of the current candle with the volume of the previous candle. Pay this first candle here. The volume bar is here. My line is here.

[03:22] I'll wait for the next candle to appear. Next candle, I'm going to grab the line and put it on it, see? Why? Whenever the next volume bar surpasses this marker here, I automatically

[03:36] previous bar. So I'm going to look at my candle. I see that it's a red sell candle. Me, my Hilo is saying that the trend is towards selling. If this line then I have increasing volume. I'm going to try and grab a few

[03:52] points with this move when I enter the game. So let's see it in practice here. Well, will wait. If the next bar is exceeded, I'll be watching closely. Oh, he didn't get over it. What do I do? I'm going down the line to the next bar.

[04:06] Now, one important detail: I have a buying volume here that exceeds the previous selling volume, but I have a red line. So, here I need convergence. I would need to have a red bar, surpassing the

[04:20] previous red bar, a selling candle, and a red Rilo. Everything is converging in favor of me making a sale. That didn't happen. I 'll simply leave my line here and continue observing. Now a

[04:35] selling volume has arrived. I'll move on to the next volume and keep an eye on it here. If I have a volume exceeding, oh, green, nothing to be done, I just pass one bar to the other. It requires patience and observation. In this case, I have a

[04:51] volume exceeding the previous volume, and I have my green rilobe. What do I need? I need confirmation. I need another candle that is So I'm going to put my bar here. If I have another green candle with the hilo

[05:06] now in green and exceeding this volume bar, then I have a trade. , I need confirmation. I need at least two candles showing the R reversal. Oh, it just came out with a red candle. Now I've lost my reference point

[05:20] My volume is now red and my hilo is green. This is all indecision; there's no operation. Please note that there are many confirmations involved; it's not just a matter of clicking randomly. Moving on to the next one,

[05:33] okay. You'll see a green bar has appeared now. I'm going to get off my line here. Now yes. If I have a green bar here, and the volume is exceeded, I'll have a trade. Let's see. Rilo has turned red again. The

[05:47] red bar. Now I need it. And my Rilo has confirmation, at least two red bars, indicating that I have entry. done, we understand, right? So I'll be passing by.

[06:01] Even if I include it here, there's no consistency; I need validated information. No, I'll just walk by and observe. See how it's positioned quite laterally first turn, without confirmation, I would have been taking stop loss after stop loss.

[06:14] So, you need to pay attention. Oh, now I have a red volume bar here, volume bar is exceeding the limit. Then we'll have access. Oh, in this case here I have a red hilo, I have a volume bar exceeding the selling pressure here, and I have

[06:28] have to do when this candle closes? I have to make a sale. My target is 150 points below, my stop is 150 points above. What happened next ? He activated my entry, it did n't go for the target, nor did it stop. Then I

[06:43] order. I have an order there, let me mark it here. I'll keep watching. My order was here, it was close to my target. And then he went and hit

[06:55] my target there. So I'll mark it here. Do you understand? After much confirmation, I managed to find a trade where all the indicators were aligned, and I closed the deal. It hit the target here, a successful operation. Then I'll go back to

[07:10] successful operation. Then I'll go back to marking with my line. volume bar. Here I position my line so that I have

[07:23] a clear idea of ​​overcoming challenges. So, I'm observing my current candle there, right? He's quite undecided; even though he's green, he's red, so there's no consensus here. I would need him to break through that line so that

[07:37] we could potentially enter the game. So here I have a possible trade, the close of this candle here, we have an entry point,

[07:51] look, a buy market. Let me adjust this, through the search bars. I'll wait over there to see what happens in the market. Very

[08:18] we mark the operation there, and from then on we start making the markings again. The entrance is pretty simple, right? Once the price closes here, you can buy or sell at market, with the candle closing higher than the clock. So,

[08:35] at closing time we enter the order, look, I've already compared the market, marked it up there, and then we don't do any more marking. From there, it's just a matter of waiting for the trade and developing

[08:47] just a matter of waiting for the trade and developing

[09:00] the volume as marked here and keep observing. If the problem is overcome, we'll time when you'll take a break. There will come a time when you'll need to place a stop-loss order, probably trigger a stop-loss. I didn't say it 's a perfect model, but by the time you

[09:12] mistakes. For example, here we take two operations, that's 300 points. What is your daily goal? How many points? Suddenly it's hit me, so I don't done. Is it closed? That's perfectly fair, right? It was a very

[09:26] fair decision. I would enter here at this point. I need to see it like this, look. Movements where I experience a real break. He moved the bar upwards, but it didn't go through. For me, it's all at a standstill here, with the changes. Oh, the indicator itself is already telling

[09:38] selling opportunity. So, look, it turned red. I'll put the bar here. If the next bar surpasses this one, we will place a sell order. In this case, look, it closed very snugly, just like the previous one here. I'm perfectly fine, there's nothing to be done.

[09:53] Leave the line there and wait. And when the next one breaks through, we'll need to keep taking risks, right? Go only when it's actually confirmed. Well, there's the discipline involved with the model, right? Despite the activity, the

[10:07] volume is falling, so we're not going to take any risks at this point. Let's see if we can come up with a legal move now , if we can pull off an operation. Oh, candle 15 broke even. From then on, I'll be observing, right? It's become

[10:20] interesting for us to have a possibility here because there's a possibility here because there's a convergence in the movement. Small market sale within the metrics we've established for our operations.

[10:44] he comes, grab the target. Well, here's a question I have for you: if you're trading in your day-to-day work, and you manage to get 450 points trading with contracts, that's interesting because today there was a lot of learning involved. If you've benefited from even a little bit of the

[10:57] be immensely happy, because that's the goal here: to share knowledge and learn as well, because we all need to be constantly staying with me for this video. Of course, I'd also like to ask you to subscribe

[11:11] notifications, and leave a like if you really enjoyed it. And while I'm at it, I have two other videos here that are practically two add a lot of value for you. Furthermore, thank you for staying with me for
