Strategy overview

A linear weighted moving average is a moving average that weights recent prices more heavily than older ones, so it turns faster than a simple average of the same length. What makes this entry unusual is not the average itself but the packaging: it holds two separately named strategies — Bali Scalping and the Va-Bank Candle — filed as a single record, because they arrive together inside one broker publication rather than one strategy per source.

The two sit at opposite ends of the clock. Bali Scalping is filed on the hourly, where a weighted average and a fast envelope band around price give a scalper something that reacts within the session; the Va-Bank Candle is filed on the weekly, with the daily noted as an alternative, which means the same family of tools is being asked to frame a decision that may take months to resolve. The name is its own warning — "va-bank" is the gambling idiom for pushing the whole stack in — and it signals a position-sizing posture, not a signal. Alongside the average and the envelope sits a double-smoothed stochastic of momentum, a two-line oscillator that reads the rate of change rather than price itself, so the toolkit pairs a trend anchor, a volatility boundary and a momentum confirmation.

A few honest notes on the source. It is a Spanish-language piece from litefinance.org, a broker's own publication, titled "Tres estrategias en Forex más rentables de los últimos años" — that profitability billing is the source's framing, and no instrument, currency pair, test period or dataset is stated anywhere behind it. The title promises three strategies; only two are filed here, so the third is not represented on this page. No timestamps were captured, and no mechanical rules were decoded from the source, so this page covers the concepts and the structure of the setups rather than a rule-by-rule breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

What is a linear weighted moving average (LWMA)?

An LWMA is a moving average that assigns progressively greater weight to more recent prices, unlike a simple moving average which weights every bar in the window equally. The result reacts to a change in direction sooner than an SMA of the same length, at the cost of responding more often to noise.

Why does this page cover two strategies instead of one?

Because the source is a broker article presenting a set of Forex strategies together rather than a single setup. Bali Scalping and the Va-Bank Candle share a source and a common toolkit — a weighted moving average, an envelope band around price, and a smoothed momentum oscillator — so they are filed as one entry.

What timeframes do these two strategies use?

They sit far apart: Bali Scalping is filed on the hourly chart, while the Va-Bank Candle is filed on the weekly, with the daily mentioned in the source as an alternative. The same indicator family is applied at very different holding horizons.

Are the exact entry and exit rules available for these strategies?

No mechanical rules were decoded from this source, so this page presents the concepts and the structure of the setups rather than a rule set. Strategy Decoder files what can be extracted from each source and marks clearly when the underlying rules were not recoverable — as is the case here.

Does the source prove these strategies are profitable?

The "most profitable of recent years" framing comes from the source's own title. No instrument, currency pair, test period or dataset is stated in the material, so there is nothing in the source to verify that claim against. Any strategy built from these concepts should be backtested independently before risking capital.
