The "Mini Icon" trade

[walterw 10]

I know what you guys are probably thinking...

 

He opened a thread yesterday about "second wave" and now he is opening another thread ?

 

well yes, this week I decided not to trade futures and use the entire week for forex research, and having 3 years worth of data has inspired me too get deep into some testings... lots of charts ¡¡¡ love it ¡¡¡

 

As I am developing this "second wave" trade I am looking and looking and getting my eyes filled with charts, I am drinking cofee, lots ¡¡ and eating chocolate, its cold here... I am entraining my neurons with patterns... as you all know I am not new on this bussiness... I have thousands of hours stearing screens, so when I get inspired I start to see so many things, that some I just ignore, but others they call my attention ¡¡

 

So I find a pattern again, nothing new here... nothing new... I am not discovering nothing, I am unveiling my eyes to this simple stupid pattern that tells me.... hey Walter ? do you want to make 6 pips per row baby ?

 

do you ? he teases me... he is seducing me... I am already busy with my work on the "second wave" I am testing one year of data and this pattern its looking at my eyes and its telling me... Hey.... I am a second wave too... mmmm I am more easy ... I am a scalp ahahahahah that turns me on ¡¡¡¡ I am a scalper.... a f·"&%%ing scalper ¡¡¡ so I give up to temptation and give this pattern 30 min worth of a look....

 

Well he is so tender and sweet... he is a puppy, he is a "mini Icon"... so sweet... so many succesfull trades per day... I got 780 days of data to try him and he is really neet...

 

You need to have scalper blood on your veins to like this one... not for everybody... but easy to learn indeed....

 

 

so here I go this is how Mini Icon looks like :

 

Isnt he simple, he is Mr Icon Son... he can make me probably gain a target of 8 pips per day or more...

 

NOw He has the same filosofy of 1rst intention / Pullback / Continuation He is a nice little boy that follows the WAVE structure of the market...

 

So... lets se him on the real world :

 

 

Is he perfect ? Noooooooooo

 

Is he simple ? Yeeeeeeeees

 

can I make more than 6 pips per trade ? Yeeeeeees

 

Lets keep interacting... I have 50 charts to show you with Mini Icon... cheers Walter.

Thanks Walter

 

At first it wouldn't work, it kept saying plot error, I've edited the easy language and removed the last two lines ( saying " if plot2 < 0" etc ) and it works.

 

Here's a pic.

 

Thanks again

[walterw 10]

Sorry about that Blu-Ray... can you add again this on the bottom of the formula ?

 

if plot2 > 0 then setplotcolor (2, blue );

 

if plot2 < 0 then setplotcolor (2, red) ;

 

 

Then please show me a chart, cheers Walter.

Thanks Walter, I've got the linear reg curve, but not the linear weighted MA, if you've got them it would be much appreciated.

Ok you got it ¡¡ looks really nice ¡¡

[walterw 10]

Took this one for a 2 pip stop... not bad... I like the tight stops here...

[walterw 10]

When we have multiple crosses of the averages, there simply is no setup...

 

if the pullback can not be holded by the three averges and crosses to the oposite side, setup is invalidated...

 

Now When the three average hold the pullback, then we are in bussiness... cheers Walter.

and this beautty...
