This handsome Italian guy is Fabio

Valentini, one of the best day traders

or scalpers in the world. He has proven

his trading skill in the most famous

trading competition in the world, the

Robins World Cup trading championships,

where in a single quarter his return was

69% in the first competition, then

almost 90% in a following competition,

then

218% in the following competition, and

then more than 160% in the latest

competition. with this track record of

more than 2,000 trades over 12 months,

but also a trader who's generated

multiple seven figures of generational

wealth from trading alone. So, I flew to

Dubai to spend a day with him and

recording his every move in the charts.

But when we decided to shoot this video,

I had no idea how much value he was

about to share. So, after a quick coffee

and a workout, we went to the Opus Tower

in the trading floor of Burn Scorpinsky

and start our trading session. We use

usually dynamic risk management. What

does it means? That I classify my setup

from A to C. A setup, B setup, C setup.

Not all the trades use the same risk. So

if I get, for example, a C setup, I will

risk €1,000,

maximum€1,500 as a stop loss of risk. If

I get a B setup, it can go maximum

€2,000. If I get a setup, that means

that all my confluence step in. I have

the most statistical hedge that I can

find in the market in the NASDAQ. So, I

will risk maximum 2,500 to 3,000. We

will use this risk management for today.

And uh we will try to build the profit

for the day to then increase the risk

during the day. So, we will start really

low and

chill. It seems to be starting to create

an A setup. What I want to see it's

absorption there and I already see that

the market is developing really good

because we have a bullish bias for the

day and we start to see that the market

is presenting some absorption here. So

the the sellers are pushing we are

reaching our um point of interest but I

want to see some kind of buyers to step

in on this level that right now is not

happening. We can only see the sellers

pushing. This is the benefit of order

flow. You can see all this aggression in

price. This for reference is the profile

footprint. It's not the bid and ask. So

because I want to see exactly what is

happening at each level and this is our

platform deep charts. So this is the

reason it's really important to have a

trigger that is giving you some kind of

edge in the level because this was an

area of interest that I will use for

searching for buy opportunities but the

buyers didn't step in at this level. So

I will just wait to see if there is some

kind of absorption here. But for the

moment we just wait. This is the most

important skill for a scalper.

What's potential accumulation area just

a level that I get from structure

because you need to start the day with a

narratives and here the narrative was

bullish but from this level it seems

that we are seeking continuation

cell. So this was my level of interest

to continue higher. But for how the

session is developing, we are not yet in

New York session. I think we can search

for one short opportunity when we will

get back to this level here. So again,

now it's a waiting game. Yeah. So even

the scalper needs to have a little bit

of patience.

This is the difference between a trader

that is finding an interesting area and

building a narrative out of it and wait

for the condition and the trader that

just put limit orders. If I put limit

orders directly here, I will get the

black color for reference. If I get

limit order only because this level is

interesting for me, I will get

liquidated in seconds.

Usually I don't trade pre-market open

because I want to have a clear bias. But

from what I can see here, the market is

developing short. So I will for the day

I will target this low. I will wait for

my opportunity to this low here. I will

wait for my opportunity to step in at

the right moment because right now it's

really bad positioning of the the short.

I need to have a little bit of premium

and I don't mean premium in the concept

of premium and discount of ICT. I mean

premium based on volume. So if we get

the profile distribution of the starting

of the session and we go here we can see

that the chunk of volume the value area

it's here. So I will just be patient

enough to wait to reach one level that

is interesting for me and from here

search for short opportunities. Again

when we reach this level it will not be

an execution. It will be a potential

area to seek short position because we

are in alignment with higher time frame.

The price is going exactly start the

retracement from here and is going

exactly here. The only thing that is not

in my trading model is that we are

before the opening of the New York

session. So you will lower your risk. I

will lower my risk. I will only use

€1,000 for this position. Let's check.

We are we reach 196 and we are starting

to absorb. How do you know we're

starting to absorb? I see from the

candle behavior after watching the

charts a lot. you start to see the

relation of price and volume because I

always use trading view and volume

analysis platform. So I already know

that if I go here I will see some

aggression that is being absorbed. You

can see aggression that is being

absorbed. This means those are trapped

buyers. Those are trapped buyers. And uh

uh now the trap buyers is the least

profitable setup that I have

unfortunately because the most

profitable setup I have is momentum. So

in trapped buyers you are going

contrarian to the trend and it's really

risky. As you can see the price is

starting to go against us again. So I

just want to see the sellers stepping in

and I also use a lot of cumulative

volume delta at the moment. As you can

see there is no sell side aggression.

just can see the price up and up and up

and up. You see, if someone takes a

trade on trumpet trap buyers, it will be

stop. This is the reason I want to play

it safe considering that I'm also

outside my trading hours. So, I will

just wait for the sellers to show some

kind of interest. Interest. Yes. And as

you can

see, price is not stopping

again. Price is going high.

I think one good sell position that we

can get from

here is exactly from this level. This

refinement of my area. If I see sellers

stepping in here, I will try to short.

But I need to see buyers starting to

remove their feet from the gas.

Again, this is about patience. Now we

already saved three stop loss using

order flow. Three stop loss that could

have been taken only using price

action or we're not taking I'm thinking

about loading my first position. It will

be really low

risk. We will start with two contracts.

No, I just put it there. Then I move it

just to to be faster in

execution. I didn't open anything yet

because there is this

that something alike. We are ready for

the first

position. It's only €600 of stop- loss.

So, we are going really conservative on

the first

one. And this look at the sellers. So, I

have a total risk

of €1,000 for the

position. We will fragment the orders.

Yes, I fragment the orders. One here,

one here to get a better average

positioning. And we will just cover

ourself

here. It's small profit, but we need to

start somewhere.

I will target this low for the first

one. It's only

€300. No, I will not target this low. I

will target this

area. This is the kind of momentum trade

that uh I usually took with the highest

win rate. It's around 50% win rate, but

the riskto-reward is really good. Now we

didn't got the perfect execution because

to get the perfect execution we need to

see a little bit of retracement another

distribution and then the drop down and

this is what I hope will happen. I

prefer to take a stop loss that to get a

better execution. I think we had a

retracement. Yes, we are filled on two

position. This anyway this is a B setup

but it's considered a C setup only

because it's outside my trading hours.

So maybe the win rate for this is around

40%. So checking from the order flow, we

can see that the buyer starts still

pushing and taking back the position and

I cover my stop loss above

this level. This is the level that it's

holding the aggression of the sellers

and also the cumulative delta for the

first time is showing a little bit of

sellers aggression. So the price was

about to go here, here, here and down.

And we actually got here, here, here,

and down. That's some experience right

there. I want to point out that this is

not a prop firm account. It's real

money. It's the first time for me

trading out of the world trading cup of

course, but with other people in the

room because I'm used to put the

headphone music and I have a little bit

of ADHD. So adding voices around being

recorded is stressing the out of

me. But it's a good experience. We need

to check order flow. You see why order

flow? is useful because you can exactly

see who is winning the battle. What I

want to see is that the price will try

to go up again, get rejected and see

some kind of acceleration through the

target, explosive moves really fast. And

this is because the sellers will finally

step in. And what I'm seeing from the

order flow, I'm pretty sure it's another

distribution. It's a redistribution

phase. Why I can say confidently this?

because I see that the cumulative volume

delta is not having a followup. So the

sellers are what do you mean follow up?

a follow up in uh uh long follow up in

upside more yeah resulting price like

this is the concept that I took from

volume spread analysis and uh um if you

don't see a follow up on the cumulative

volume delta on price it's a dis

discrepancy is right yeah yeah discrep

discrepancy exactly yes we are seeing

some kind of aggression I expect more

aggression and acceleration on this one

[Laughter]

pretty accurate. Pretty accurate. Okay.

So, uh the price follow up exactly on

the narrative that I built for the sell

position. Now, I didn't went only to

lower my stop loss. I went break even

because I'm not liking at all what the

price is doing here. And exactly, we are

seeing buyers aggression. So if I break

again this level or if I reach this

level again, I will lower even. I will

go in a stopping profit because I don't

like this pattern. I saw this 1,000

times and when I see this pattern, I go

break even. So I don't want to be

against me, but you need also to be

really objective and not only see your

vision. What is happening here? Let's go

on the order flow and let's create some

narratives. As you can see, the sellers

are trying to push, but they are not

having a follow-up. So, the price will

likely retrace higher and higher. I want

to see some aggression. You see how much

they are trying to push, but they are

they are still here. So, if we reach

again this level, my stop loss will go

here. I need to be protected. I'm

already zero risk on this position. So,

again, we are pushing. I will be really

conservative on this position because I

need to build the profit for the day. So

we are already risk- free but I feel

more confident if we reach this

level again to go risk not risk- free

but stopping profit and I think the best

level to protect my profit is above here

but we need to go back because now let's

check the volume what is happening here

buyers are taking

over lot of efforts on the sell side and

buyers ers are retracing and retracing

and they will take this high. I am

pretty sure about this and now the

buyers took this level as I told this is

one kind of distribution that I notice

in NASDAQ for redistribution phase as

you can see now after this I'm pretty

sure that we will try to recover the

level so we will see some kind of

aggression cell this will be the first

moment where we see sellers pushing the

price down and it will be a really

explosive move let's check here the

explosion you mentioned they reached the

level. They went really near the level.

Let's check the

volume. They had a really big explosion

with low effort. So, this is a good sign

for the

sellers. One position that can also be

taken in this kind of environment is

waiting for the closure of this candle

and covering above this high. I know

it's not a really big risk-to-reward,

but it's 1 to2.7.

So the candle closed here, still valid.

So it's $85 of risk for a reward of

almost 300. So it's a really profitable

setup this

one. And I'm taking this setup with zero

risk. No, it's stopping profit. So it's

it's good buy imbalance in a sell

aggression. It's a really good

confirmation. This is another sensible

level that we have. We are pushing. We

are going. So this was like potential

second entry there. Yeah. And uh it get

confirmed. We are already stopping

profit and we'll just let it run. So we

reached the level that I told you that

is enough to bring our stop loss to

break even from this level that we

checked before that was the bull volume.

Let me check from the price what we are

doing. We are still so one good exercise

that I can advise to anyone is using the

profile for the area that you are

charting. What happened here? We went

outside of the value

but we have a failed option. So the

price didn't accepted lower lower value.

So we are still not in trending. We just

broke out of this level and we are

revisiting the value area. And at this

moment if we want to see some sell

aggression the only level where we can

see sell aggression is the value area.

So this is our last

protection point of the trade. And what

I want to see here I still didn't check

the volume analysis platform but what I

really want to see here is trapped

buyers. Because when you have a a a good

reversal you have trapped buyers. At

this moment, as you can see, huge buy

volume buyers on the top of the of the

candle, no follow up, really good delta

on the top. So, they are still, as I

told you, we are in a consolidation

phase, but we are protected. This is why

the skill of understanding where to put

your stop loss is so important

in scalping. Now,

the analysis is always the same. Again

if this level gets

broken we again cover ourself here and

we get small part of profit. We follow

the market and we get small profit out

of the market as it moves. So if we are

proven wrong on this trade even if the

market explodes up we still have some

profit and we can compound this profit

for the next position. We can use this

profit that we made to open position

risk free in the next trade. This is

really important as a sculper because if

you want to have a really low draw down,

you need to use this profits again to

build the position. This is called

position building and it's what all the

good sculpers that I know are doing. Uh

also to lower the emotional the

emotional pressure during the day

because this for example now why we are

relaxed. We are relaxed because in the

worst case scenario we make 400 no $300

in the worst case scenario. And this is

really good to do when we go around 2 or

2:30 3:30 Italian time because it's a

European time because the market start

to get really aggressive and it's not

good to scalp. It's not good to scalp at

this time. So what I usually do, I wait

for the 330 shake out of the market and

then I start my session. Let's give a

check to the volume. Some kind of

effort. Result is zero. So buyers took

the upper end again. Here we

go. I think we got liquidated on

this. So we made like

$280. Remember that if the candle is

still developing, you can still see a a

really fast absorption on it. So you

need to be ready. You need to mark your

level where you want to see price

getting back inside

value before executing. For example,

here it's pretty impossible that we will

see an absorption in the candle because

buyers are taking the position. Now,

where we got out of the position

here with stopping profits. So, we saved

us all this stop-loss that was

unnecessary. This is why you need to

follow up on the position. And in

sculping it's really time consuming

because you have to be in tune with the

market. You cannot just go away. Let me

remove also the take profit. Okay.

Now let's go again. What we are seeing

right now is that the price

at the really important field the

auction here on this level that is still

holding. So my narrative is shifting.

Now I want to target this high and I

want to see from volume after this

breakout if I have a good level to put

back my buy position at this time

because I don't want to be right. I want

to be

with the right pressure in the market. I

want to be where the market is most

likely to go. I don't care about being

right. If I care about being right, I

will take the most

uh amount of uh monetary risk on this

trade just to say, okay, if it reverse

here, I'm still in profit. But it's not

what we do as scalpers. We need to

change our opinion really fast. And this

is the reason you need to keep your ego

low. You cannot marry your trades

clearly visible from the pressure that

the market is really aggressive on the

on the buy. Look really aggressive. So

it makes no sense to try another sell.

This is what a lot of price action

trader takes wrong. Oh, I got my stop

loss gets taken here. I will try again

to short. Okay, maybe sometimes it can

work. But what is volume telling you?

The volume is telling you that the

buyers are really aggressive on the

upside. So my probability of taking

another stop-loss or stopping profit if

I go sell is really high. The market is

not balanced at this moment. The buyers

are really

aggressive. So my idea for the day is

developing and my idea for the day

shifted from sell to buy at this moment.

So what will I do? What is my blueprint

for the opening of the session? This

time I will just wait for the price to

revisit the accumulation area. And my

accumulation area is pretty easy to

understand is this one. Why? Because the

price was trying to break out of this

area for a lot of time but it didn't add

a follow through. So we are reaching

again. Let's check the

volume. We exactly tested the breakout

level and

different world. Yeah. But what is

important is that we are

using not different kind of data because

if you think about what is the

commitment of trader report it's actual

positioning what I'm checking actual

position actual execution and what we

see here is not small execution this

execution was huge on NASDAQ this one

and the delta on the level so just if

you the longer the bar the higher the

I'm curious why would you not see like

something like a high here when it comes

back up here when it break it like this

pivot and you look look at the

time 2130 okay it was deep night in

United Arab Emirates so it's out of my

trading hours I usually trade New York

session and all the afternoon kept on

going like this with him calling in

front of my eyes every single market

movement freaking nuts he's not even

used to trading the London session and

he was still able to call most of market

movements and capitalize on them. But

before we documented some of his trade

during the New York session, he had to

go for an interview at the Titans of

Tomorrow podcast, one of the biggest

trading podcasts in the scene, which I

strongly recommend you watch it.

Together with the other podcast I've

released on this channel, where he's

given even more trading insights that

you really don't want to miss. After

that, it was time to go back home and

close the day scalping the last part of

the New York session. Now, it's really

interesting one reversal setup that is

developing. And right now I'm just

checking the behavior of the sellers on

this level because I can see clearly a

situation of exhaustion in the volume

and the price is trying to auction down

and we are in a long-term demand 15

minutes demand but as you can see the

price is pushing really hard from the

behavior of aggressive sellers but we

are not having a followup. So I think if

we can break down this high I'm waiting

I can search for a end of session

reversal to take this high and it's a

really good uh risk-to-reward ratio but

I just need to some time to wait that to

see some aggressive buyers with a good

follow up on the the volume side. We are

outside now because uh this view is

really inspiring. It's the yacht club of

Marina and uh it's a really calm area.

There is no a lot of noises outside so

you can just chill, work. Now in United

Arab Emirates there is the perfect

weather. It's 25° so I really love this

kind of uh uh period of the year because

it's great because if you have a setup,

if you have a statistical edge, you just

need to wait. Look at the stop- loss.

They almost kissed them. Kiss it. But

the point is that the trapid sellers are

protecting my stop loss at the moment.

We are still in a consolidation. As you

can see, no breakout long, no breakout

short for the moment. But I expect some

kind of long acceleration on the price.

Let's see some kind of explosion at the

close of this candle.

We can almost go to stop to break even

maybe but I see still not a lot of

confirmation. We are floating

1,00 1 1,1 100 200 and we see some kind

of really good

movement. Price is pushing to the

target. It should be around

$2,000. Target reached on the on the

order flow part. I was a little bit

greedy from the the charts trying to get

the upper part of the profile

distribution. I will

just see. But you need to consider that

this is the first time exactly the first

time we see buy aggression in all the

session. So we took exactly the end of

reversal

setup.

Now maybe it's time to trail the stop

loss to profits. But I still see a lot

of aggression buyers. So I don't want to

to close it yet. I use a lot volume. If

volume is still pushing high, as I can

see from the cumulative volume delta,

I'm holding the position. I want to see

what the sellers will will

show some good

retracements and failed auction from the

sellers part. This is the trap sellers.

So if this candle close like this and we

have trapped sellers, we will again push

high and is my confirmation to go stop

in profits, not even stop loss to to

break

even. Let's see what they

do. Anyway guys, this is our platform.

We worked a lot to bring this platform.

This is a web platform. It's really

convenient to you and this is kind of

proprietary study that we are doing on

the platform that is helping scalpers to

get a real statistical advantage on the

market. The sellers are having a follow

through. We are back to break even on

the position and now we want to see if

the sellers will win the battle or if

the buyers will win the

battle. Again, super aggression of the

sellers. I think this time we take the

stop loss. The sellers are pushing with

all the power that they have. We got

liquidated on this position for a loss

$850. And we just need to check if the

buyers are again taking control of this

because this is a failed breakout

breakout. So if you get absorption from

the price, we can try the last setup of

the day that it's a 1,000 risk position

again with a one to two one to three

risk to reward to close uh in profits

and uh uh we need a follow through from

the the price. So we will just need to

wait for the scandal to close and we see

a completion of the auction. This

completion of the auction is showing a

huge strength from sellers. So we leave

the ego at home and we take a short

position. Follow this is a trend

following position with a stop loss

above the auction. Right. I need to put

let me remove the

position. I need to

put a two contract risk because stop

loss is too high. Let me calculate it

really fast. So 1,200 it's

okay. Let's see if we got filled on the

position.

[Music]

So the seller as you can see what we are

trying to understand is who is winning

the battle at this moment the seller

again are showing a huge amount of

strength even if it's the closing of the

session. So this was a really uncommon

session because it's really hard to see

an explosion and a continuation for all

the day in the direction of the trend.

The setup was correct. Unfortunately we

didn't got filled on the short after the

breakout. This is what usually is called

from price action trader the um price

imbalance. I think we will revisit again

this price. And what I use usually on

this is the VWAP. You can use from like

platform like trading view or you can

use from a professional platform. The

important part is that we go back to the

fair value. We want to short from the

fair value. So, we'll just have a little

bit of patience to get this momentum

short because we are protected from

what? We are protected from this huge

wall of orders that won the battle. So,

we want to be in at this moment and we

want to be in with the strong sellers.

But I don't want to be in from discount

price. I want to at least retrace a

little bit. Go back inside the fair

value. And to to do this you can also

use the profile. So if you get the

profile of the session as you can see

can also stay here. I want to stay short

from fair value the value area low.

Sorry value area low again. Buyers

trying to stop

in. I think we will target for

$2,500. If we can get back up. Let's see

if we get filled. The reason I'm

searching for this position is because

we have what's a wall here. We have a

wall here. As you can see, the buyers

are trying their best. I will cover

myself with really small incredible

small

stop-loss. I'm trying to get for this

position. This is a really small scalp.

A one to three. It's a good

risk-to-reward, but it's a small scalp.

So, how much profit can we get from the

market? 1,200 here. I think I can also

let it run a little bit. Let's see how

this movement behave. This will be the

complete recovery of the stop loss we

took. So I think I will

get I will be okay with this position

and maybe we get another position using

part of this profit if we go down. The

volume is conf confirming our narratives

except for the sellers but we are still

pushing

hard. Check the precision on the entry

guys. This is what you can do with

volumes.

getting the last tick up. Why? Because

it was protected from the volume. So I

can already go break even on this

position in some

minute. We are still pushing. We are

almost to

target. We are almost top to zero. One

tick up. And now we just need to be

patient. Sell pressure is going really

insanely high. Look at the sellers. The

cumulative volume delta they're really

pushing the market is not showing any

kind of buy aggression just

collapsing credible collapse of the

market. We are almost to take profit. It

was a not even a 5 minutes one to three

risk-to-reward. Let's see if we have a

reversal here. We are already risk-

free.

Now if we get a breakout of the sell

candle that created this movement. As

you can see we have here this bulk of

sell volume that is trying to hold the

price. As you can see we have an

exhaustion. We are trying to hold the

buy volume up. If this level hold and we

break again low we can consider another

position short.

15 second to the close of the candle. 1

minute. So, we took a really fast one to

three risk to

Ooh, look at this.

That's a pretty sniper zone. This This

was a one to

six. How much? One,

two in not even 10 minutes. Now guys, I

took a lower risk on the second

position. I took only $500. And not only

I recovered the loss, but I got also

profit on this one. I think we will stop

for the day because we are

going to the end of the session. And I

want you to study how the price is in

the relationship to volume. Now I will

just stop trading because I have a live

session. And with this other amazing

trade, we closed. The trading day was

over. This is how a real professional
