What does the acronym ICC stand for?
Indication, Correction, and Continuation
It is a price action framework used to follow market trends rather than ‘predicting’ them.
What defines an Indication?
A breakout above a previous resistance level (for buys) or below a support level (for sells)
It signals the market’s intent.
Why should you avoid trading the Indication phase?
Because breakouts are often forms of liquidity grabs
They frequently retrace to ‘stop out’ traders who entered too early or overleveraged during the move.
What is the purpose of the Correction phase?
To ‘clear the money’ from breakout traders
It is the pullback that happens 99% of the time after an indication before the real move starts.
When does the Continuation occur?
When price moves back above the level that gave the initial reaction and resumes the trend
This is the ideal entry zone.
Where should your Stop Loss be placed in an ICC setup?
Roughly below the Support level created during the Correction phase
If price is truly bullish, it should maintain these lows.
What is the primary Take Profit (TP) target?
The previous high set by the Indication move
This is viewed as a ‘decision-making level.’
What timeframes does the creator recommend for analysis vs. entry?
1-hour for the median level/market structure; 15-minute or 30-minute for refining entries
This helps in making more precise trading decisions.
What is Timeframe Alignment?
Ensuring that all timeframes are moving in the same direction
For example, all bullish before taking a trade.
True or False: You should enter a trade when a news candle is ‘going crazy’ and running points.
FALSE
This is trading the Indication. You must wait for the Correction.
How does the creator view ‘feelings’ in trading?
You should never ‘feel’ like the market is going to buy or sell
You must wait for price action to show you what it wants to do.
In the analogy of a Professional Sprinter, what does the Indication represent?
The Starting Gun
This is the Breakout where price suddenly bursts through a ‘ceiling’ (Resistance).
In the sprinter analogy, what does the Correction represent?
Catching Their Breath
This is the Pullback where price drops back down toward the starting line.
In the sprinter analogy, what does the Continuation represent?
The Final Kick
This is your Entry when price climbs back up and breaks past the high point of the Indication phase.
