The "Mini Icon" trade

Recommended Posts

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 :eek: 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 :

attachment.php?attachmentid=2114&stc=1&d=1185846231

 

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 :

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=2115&stc=1&d=1185846628

 

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

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.

good ¡¡... do you have the averages ? need them ?...

 

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.

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.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
