AI Summary

This video presents a trading strategy for mini index futures that aims to achieve profitability even with a success rate of 50% or less. The strategy involves taking a maximum of two trades per day within a specific two-hour window, using a color-coded rule based on moving averages and RSI to identify entry points, with a risk-reward ratio of 1:2 (250-point stop, 500-point target). The presenter demonstrates the strategy on a chart, explains how to set it up in the Profit platform, and shares the results of a 12-day test.

[00:03]
Strategy Overview

The strategy aims to deliver trades of 500 points with a risk of 250 points, allowing a maximum of two trades per day within a specific timeframe where volatility is favorable, giving the freedom to trade for one or two hours a day.

[01:12]
Operational Metrics

The model uses a 5-minute chart, operating hours from 9 AM to 11 AM (a 2-hour window). The rules include a 9-period exponential moving average, a 50-period HMA, and an RSI indicator.

[02:19]
Buy and Sell Conditions

For a buy: the 9-period EMA must be above the 20-period HMA, the closing price must be above both averages, and RSI must be above 50. For a sell: the reverse conditions apply.

[03:02]
Color-Coding Rule

The strategy uses a pre-programmed rule that colors candles to indicate valid entry points. The code for this rule is provided in the comments, and the presenter shows how to paste it into the Profit platform.

[05:37]
Entry and Risk Management

The entry point has a defined target of 500 points and a stop of 250 points. The presenter sets an automatic order with a gain of 100 ticks and a loss of 50 ticks. If the first entry doesn't happen by 10:30, they don't trade that day.

[07:07]
Trade Examples

The presenter walks through several days of trades, showing how the strategy is applied: waiting for a white candle, then a green or red candle, entering on the close, and setting the stop and target.

[12:23]
Performance Results

Over 12 days, there were 13 operations: 8 winners and 5 losers, a 61.5% success rate. Total accumulated 2750 points, worth R$550. The presenter notes that even at 50% success rate, the strategy would be positive due to the favorable risk-reward ratio.

The strategy demonstrates that a positive expectancy can be achieved with a success rate below 50% by using a favorable risk-reward ratio and strict time management. The presenter encourages viewers to test and adapt the model, sharing improvements in the comments.

[00:03] a strategy for trading mini- index futures where you have a 50% success rate or even less and still end the month in profit? Yes, my friend, that's exactly it. And today I want to

[00:15] share with you a study, an operating model for you to work in exactly this way. This strategy will deliver trades of 500 points will deliver trades of 500 points per day. Gem with a risk of 250 points.

[00:29] This allows you to make a maximum of two trades within a very specific timeframe, where volatility is extremely favorable, giving you the freedom to trade for one or two hours a day, every day, without

[00:42] computer. And of course, best of all, excellent performance. Nice to meet you, subscribe to the channel, activate the bell to receive notifications, and if you like the also invite you to follow us on Instagram, where I post daily

[00:58] Corus trading, with recorded trades, and much more. my screen and give you all the information about this operating model, and I believe it will help you a lot. Let's go. Alright, now that we're looking at the chart, let's

[01:12] quickly go over the operational metrics. Remember that I'm going to discuss them here with you, but we're actually going to apply them within a color-coding rule that will show us the exact operating points,

[01:26] our chart, we're going to work with the influx at 5 minutes, okay? Also, the operating hours for this model are from 9 AM to 11 AM. So it's

[01:39] a 2-hour operating window. Nothing more than that. Within the rules of color matching, we will evaluate the following. The price must always be based on two important pieces of information.

[01:52] First, we'll have a nine-period exponential moving average on the graph. We nine-period exponential moving average on the graph. We will also have an HMA average, a will also have an HMA average, a 50-period overage. And we will also

[02:04] which will be within the color scheme and not visible on the chart itself and not visible on the chart itself . Also, in order for me to make a purchase, follow the following order. First, I need the two moving

[02:19] averages to be aligned; that is, for a purchase, the 9-period exponential moving average must a purchase, the 9-period exponential moving average must be above the 20-period moving average (HMA). The both averages. And my RSI indicator has to be

[02:36] working above 50, meaning there's consistent information indicating that the market is in an upward trend, and at that point there's a possibility for me to make a buy trade. If it's at the point of sale, the whole process is reversed, right?

[02:48] I need the average of nine to be below the average of 50 HMA. I need the closing price to be below both moving averages and my RSI to be below 50. It sounds complicated, but it will be quite simple for you, because

[03:02] rule, within a program, and the chart will only show us the result , whether that point meets all the information I've provided or not. So we're going to use a pre- programmed rule. I'll leave

[03:16] all the code for this rule in the first comment. I'll pin a comment with the entire formula, with all the rules , so you can simply copy and paste it into Profit. This is the rule. It's in a

[03:29] it's a little complicated, but it will be simple. In the comments section, you 'll simply select the rule, and I'll copy it right away. And you go here to the strategy menu, select it, and create a new strategy.

[03:45] When you open this menu here, you'll select the coloring option, then click OK select the coloring option, then click OK to make it editable. select the code that's here, because it's not useful for us. Let's

[04:01] glue it. Control V. He pasted all the code in here for us, no I told you are already in place here. Click here on the floppy disk, it will ask you to save it. You give it a name . I'll put it here as setup

[04:15] R5. It will save us. And then you can close the box. And we will, from now on, apply it here. From the chart, just click on some of the candles here, right-click, you 'll be able to insert a color rule,

[04:29] select the plus sign, come here to the search bar, type setup R5, and it will be added to my list. Select the item,

[04:47] we already have the rule applied to my chart, okay? So we're already observing this here. Now I'm going to explain to you how, when you make the entry, position the X. That's it. Now, before we begin, let's put two

[05:00] our chart. Look, we're going to change look better. Let's right-click on the candles here, all white. It's possible that yours aren't. So, if you do

[05:12] n't have it, right-click and go to info properties. We'll work on the appearance here first. Visually, you'll place negative candles in white, and positive candles in white so we don't

[05:24] have any problems. Once that's done, you'll come here to the general guide and we'll go to the graphic agreement, okay? I'm going to select the automatic graphical agreement here. If it perfect, no need to change it. When you click OK, the graph will look like this.

[05:37] Visually, it's much easier for us to identify our entrances. Since our entry point already has a defined target and a defined stop, it's a relationship where I'll be taking a 250-point stop risk for a 500-point

[05:50] gain, we'll leave an automatic order here. So we're going over here to the right, where the strategy is, okay? And they will click on customized. And down here he brings us, look, the

[06:02] And down here he brings us, look, the game. We'll mark it at 100, leave it as ticks. And for the loss, set it to 50. When you make an entry here on the market chart, when you select it, it will already give us, look, entry target

[06:15] will already give us, look, entry target 500, stop 250. Very good. And here's some important information. I'm going to make an entrance. If she gives me a chance, I'll call it a day. If she sets a stop-loss order, I have the opportunity to make

[06:29] another entry. However, what I'm about to explain to you is important. If we start here and the first entry doesn't happen by 10:30, and 10:30 arrives and the first entry hasn't happened, we won't operate anymore. Why is this important? It's about

[06:42] management, folks. Because if you place an entry after 10:30 and it triggers a stop loss, you'll have very little time to find another entry point to recover your losses. So you'll place an order, and then maybe

[06:55] in half an hour there won't be any more trades. Unlike if you booked an entry between 9 and 10, you'll have an extra hour to book another entry, okay? So it's a matter of managing even your own time. Then it was like,

[07:07] let's start here, see? The first day of February was the 2nd. We'll be observing it here. Based on the white candle, we need either a red candle or a green candle. Here's a green candle. When it closes,

[07:19] a market order. The candle has closed , I'm making a purchase. Look, stop down here, alvula up there. And then he moves and grabs my egg from above. So, that first trade was a game-changer for us, I'm not trading anymore.

[07:34] Day ended. To do this, I'm going to use our channel spreadsheet here, okay? In this little spreadsheet here on the channel, I'm going to fill in all the values, and then at the end we'll take a look at how the

[07:46] yield were based on this model. So, to recap, we're basically going to do two operations. If a 500-point loss occurs, I don't trade anymore that day. I've already drafted a small contract here, I'll move on to the next day.

[08:00] Next day, the 3rd, opening here. Next white candle. Another white one. We are waiting. Here comes a green candle. Green candle. Closure. hits my target. Another positive day. 500 points here. I don't do

[08:16] anything else that day. The next day here is February 4th. Let's go. White candle. Next comes a red candle. Candle closing. So I have a sale. Then he comes and takes my stop loss right at the top. So, the first trade is a

[08:29] stop-loss, as planned at the beginning of the day, which opens up room for me to have day, which opens up room for me to have a good trade later on. Immediately following that red candle. So I have a sale on its closing date. And then, right after that,

[08:43] he comes and hits my target down here. Positive operation. One stop loss and one take profit per Positive operation. One stop loss and one take profit per day.

[08:59] February 5th, white candle at the opening. Keep an eye on it. Pay attention. Keeping an eye on our little rule about the schedule, see? 9:40. 9:45. So, if it hits 10:30 and there's no operation, we don't have an entry point. Oh,

[09:11] operation, we don't have an entry point. Oh, 10:20, 10:25, 10:30. So, look, there was no operation that day, the first entry wasn't made until 10:30, we don't do anything. operation. February 6th,

[09:23] white candle at the opening. Looking at it this way, no candles activated, 10, 20 plus two candles. Here we have a 10.25 entry, stop above, target below. Then, after all this movement, he hits the stop up here. So,

[09:39] on that day we got stopped at 11 am , nothing to be done. Day 6, , nothing to be done. Day 6, negative day operation.

[09:53] white candle at the opening, another white candle, green candle here, entry at the closing and then it comes and hits your target there. So, 500 points. Trade closed, day ended, February 9th.

[10:12] at the beginning, another white candle. Here comes a red candle, indicating a trading opportunity. So, sell at this point and then he comes and stops us out here on the first operation. So this enables me to perform a new operation on the same day,

[10:26] February 10th. Next, I have this candle here, its closing price. And then he comes along and hits my target down here. So, a positive trade. On down here. So, a positive trade. On February 10th, we had a stop loss and a take

[10:39] profit on February 11th, with a white candle at the opening. Next, more white candles. And then I have a green candle here at this point. Green candle, entry, he comes and stops me here. So, the first trade of the day, the start of the day,

[10:53] is a stop-loss for us. Next, a green candle appeared here again. Then, new entry, he goes and hits my target up there . So, another day of starting with a stop-loss order and then making a profit . February 12th opened

[11:06] here with a white candle. Next, a red candle. So at this point I have a sale, and then he comes and hits my target down here. Trade closed. my target down here. Trade closed. The day also ended positively.

[11:29] white candle here, we're waiting. And then a red candle appears next. Sell here. February 13th, a positive trade, also a closing day. Here we February 18th was the Wednesday after

[11:43] you this upfront because the trading session opened at 1 PM, after our usual operating hours, okay? So we just passed by on the 18th without any activity. The next day, February 19th, will begin with a white candle , followed by a green candle.

[11:57] Closing the entry there, he moves, comes and catches a stop moves, comes and catches a stop down here. had the possibility of one more trade that day, but no further

[12:10] trades occurred in that sequence, so we closed negative on the 19th, the last day of our negative on the 19th, the last day of our test. Okay

[12:23] , we basically had 12 days of operation. In those 12 days we had 13 operations, right? Eight winners over here , eight winners, five losers. Performance was at 61.5%,

[12:38] but if it had been at 50%, we would certainly have been positive as well, okay? Because the risk-reward ratio is quite favorable and allows for that, okay? So, in total, we accumulated 2750 points in cash during that period, which

[12:53] would be worth R$ 550. Did you like the model? I hope I have added to your you can make good use of it. It's important that you don't take this model take advantage of it, that you utilize the information that has been shared
