Chapters
Since November 1, the Moscow Exchange introduced a commission format similar to crypto exchanges: limit orders have very low commission (a couple of points), while market orders have 2-3 times higher commission. This encourages large participants to use limit orders.
A density of 11,500 shares appeared in the order book for Pyaterochka (a low-liquidity stock). The large participant was pushing the price from around 1586, using limit orders to accumulate or distribute.
The trader buys out limit orders near the large participant's order and sets a limit order to close. When the participant throws 10,000 lots into the market, the price moves sharply, allowing the trader to profit about 10-12 points.
The trade netted about 6,000 rubles (~$100). If unable to close via limit order, the best action is to close at market to avoid being stuck with a large position on an empty order book.
These situations repeat year after year. Large participants want to execute orders efficiently, and scalpers can exploit the resulting price movements. Similar patterns exist in crypto markets.
Summer had higher volatility and more such setups, but they were less profitable (50-60k rubles). The new commission structure may increase the frequency of these participants as they seek to save on fees.
Scalpers can consistently profit by identifying large limit orders in the order book and trading the resulting price movements. The key is to recognize the setup, act quickly, and manage risk by closing at market if necessary.

[00:02] my channel. My name is Alena Makarova. I have been scalping for about been scalping for about four years and during this time I have seen many situations and many trades and there are always repeating mechanics, the
[00:18] always repeating mechanics, the execution of which is exactly point by point. Yes, regardless of whether you do this in a year, two or three will bring good results in trading. Today, one of these trades is for both
[00:33] beginners and experienced traders. I will show you today. Subscribe to the channel so as not to miss new videos. Give a like to support my project.
[00:45] I would be very pleased to receive feedback from you in the form of a like or comments. Be sure to write. Well, we are starting with Be sure to write. Well, we are starting with you right now.
[01:04] then the situation. Of course, there are interesting situations, but since November 1, the Moscow Exchange has introduced a
[01:16] commission format like on cryptocurrency, that is, when you use limit orders, you have practically no commission, well, or a couple of points, let's say. And while
[01:29] you enter the market, the commission has increased there, two, two and a half, even three times on some instruments. As a trader, I For a scalper who really likes to enter the market, of course, it is a little
[01:44] difficult to adapt, but nevertheless, we have no choice, roughly speaking, we are in the process of adapting. It has already been half a month since we
[01:56] conducted this commission, that is, the third week has already begun, and what situations have begun to appear now. Pay attention to the Pyaterochka. Pyaterochka is also not a very liquid
[02:11] stock now. A density of 11.5 thousand shawls appeared in the evening. density of 11.5 thousand shawls appeared in the evening. Moreover, I noticed it right away, but I began to work from it a little later. That is, it has already managed to
[02:27] a little later. That is, it has already managed to pass somewhere from this range. About 10 points have already passed, such situations, as a rule, are traded in large volumes on a change in density if the potential of the transaction is small. That is, in
[02:41] principle, there is a clear stop, there is a clear movement, that is, approximately where the clear movement, that is, approximately where the participant will throw if he still decides to execute at the market. Let's see how it was, most likely, even now I
[02:56] how it was, most likely, even now I assume that he began to push the price somewhere from 1586, assume that he began to push the price somewhere from 1586, but I went to the computer relatively late, nevertheless, the situation was earned for now, I will not
[03:13] spoil how much you watch, that is, He I removed the order and I just buy out all the limit orders that are nearby and set a mark
[03:25] are nearby and set a mark for closing. This is very important. Because if a participant throws into the market, that is, his task will be fulfilled. He can execute limit orders, move them,
[03:37] limit orders, move them, thereby squeezing out the price, or he can simply throw in the volume. And thus, it will be executed instantly. Now we see [music] there was a sharp price movement. That is, he
[03:53] essentially threw his 10,000 lots into the market, he could have earned. Of course, more is not earned here, about 12 more points are earned somewhere around 10, 12,
[04:05] points are earned somewhere around 10, 12, but I did not put it in very far. but I did not put it in very far. Because the visibility of the glass is relatively small. I do not connect the date mark server because it periodically
[04:18] chokes since it was slowly moved. I did not expect that he would still throw in, but according to the rules, I put it in at random. And rules, I put it in at random. And thus, I closed almost the entire volume,
[04:32] thus, I closed almost the entire volume, 5 lots were left hanging around. Well, in fact, This is the whole 5 lots were left hanging around. Well, in fact, This is the whole situation that gave me about six thousand rubles. That is, you could say 100 dollars. Yes. How to make $100
[04:46] a day. With such simple actions, if such a situation occurs and you do not have time to close, the best thing you can do is simply close at the market, regardless of how it gives, because in this case, if I had not
[05:01] placed a limit order, it would have turned out that the situation was lost and I would have had to close 700 lots on an empty order book. As it is, in principle, there are small densities here, there is a small Market Maker, here are 200 lots that can be closed,
[05:17] here are 200 lots that can be closed, that is, you can close, but in general, there is adequate liquidity in the order book from which you can adequate liquidity in the order book from which you can fill the volume in such situations, since
[05:29] they are repeated. From year to year, nothing changes. A large participant wants to execute his order, he moves it to the last, accordingly, your task is to use this situation to the maximum as much as possible. The same participants
[05:45] are found on the cryptocurrency market. Unfortunately, there is Unfortunately, there is no good example, but if I write it down, I will definitely show a good example. Here I cut it out from the report in my personal account, that
[05:59] is, Pyaterochka, the transaction was made on November 14, almost before the market closes, November 14, almost before the market closes, the commission was 500 rubles. And so the commission was 500 rubles. And so
[06:15] now it's not as fun as it was in the summer. In the summer, the market was surprisingly much more volatile, there were many more such situations, but we somehow did not pay
[06:27] much attention to them. They turned out to be not particularly interesting because they did not give a profit of 50-60 thousand rubles that would please a strong average trader. I will draw your attention once again. On
[06:41] trader. I will draw your attention once again. On November 1, 2022, our commission on the exchange changed, accordingly, there may be more such participants, and I want to draw your attention to this because large market participants are especially not
[06:56] interested in giving a large commission if they have the opportunity to execute their order in the limit order format to close or open a position and thereby save money on commission. How often do you see such participants in the order
[07:12] book? Describe the situation. If this week or last week you saw such participants. Perhaps you also worked out this situation and entered there 20 to 30 points lower than I did because you saw it in advance. I hope you
[07:28] advance. I hope you worked out this situation perfectly and write in the comments in general what you are currently observing in the market. What situations I will try to prepare in a short period of time. More video materials that I
[07:42] have accumulated, unfortunately, the lack of time is making itself felt. Thank you very much for watching. We are with you, we are in the next issues and, of course, in the next issues and, of course, in the exchange order book.
