ICWR Long Term Trading

[popoola]

Hi Folks

I am a new forex trader looking for a way not to join the 85-90% that are not succesful in this business. My long term hope is to be able live profitably on proceeds from this business. I work full time and so do not have the time to sit at the screen all day although I would love to. So I acquired this trading technique from Quantum.

This threadwill enable have a record of all my trading decisions and to conform to the rules of the trading system.

The trading system is based on a combination of Elliot and Fibonacci's principles and is designed to keep you in trades for longer as long as the trade is going your way. ICWR stands for Impulsive/Corrective Wave Retracement. While I cant upload the whole system here for your perusal I can say that it (the system) tries to characterize every large move as impulsive or corrective and then make decisions based on that. If a move is corrective then it will not travel too far against the true trend. However if the move is an impulsive one then we just need to hand in there for the full ride.

I will be applying this system to the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Yen and the Euro/Yen.

Please note that the system is a long term system and therefore does not require a lot of monitoring. This also means I can put on trades on more than one currency at a time

I already started this thread on the Journal section but decided to put it on the mainstream section so that more traders can see it and put in their comments. Secondly I could not post charts on the journal section.

The ICWR Longterm strategy looks for the last wave of 150 pips or more on the 4hourly and draws the 0,25,68,76 and 100% fibs on it. if a full bar trades between the 78 and 100% levels and the RSI on the daily is above 50 then it is a buy with a 100pip stop. On the other hand if the market trades a full bar in the 0 - 25% fib area and the daily RSI(14) is below 50% it is a sell with a 100 pip stop

Hi Yardie We meet again...

According to the strategy there is no profit target. You stay in the trade till you are stopped out in this case -100pips or you get the an opposite signal in this case to sell.

I for one will run away with a simple 100pips. I have examples of trades that have lasted 4 weeks and have raked in as much as 700pips!

Before you ask me (I know you will). There is a process of moving stops as the market trades in your favour. It involves identifying the 150pip or more waves as the market progresses. If the market move in your favour the sell signal will occur at a higher level hopefully after a lot of pips in your favour

Nothing much to add to the story here. As you know I went long the Euro/Yen at 146.76. Stop @145.76. We stand at 146.48 now (-28pips). We have been as low as 156.32

According to the system we keep our peace and stay in.

My position is in profit about 10 pips. We have been as low as 146.20. The GBYen has gon to new hight but not the EuroYen. Chart is still bullish and the yen is still very weak. No new active waves of 150pips or more have been identified

The EuroYen stands at 147.17. My position from 146.76 is in profit. No new active waves so stop stays the same @145.76.

The british pound is in the buy zone now
