Wheel of Fire, You're definitely doing a great job digging into Ichimoku, so keep it up! As far as the thin and flat kumo that extends from around March 15 through March 27, keep in mind that its flat nature is only showing us where equilibrium has ...

Hi Wheel of Fire, I'm glad you like the Wiki and it's gratifying to hear that you are trying to trade using Ichimoku on its own without any other indicators. I am definitely a purist as I found that adding other indicators only ends up providing ...

Hi Wheel of Fire, As a trend following system, Ichimoku does tend to be more reliable on higher time frames. I personally use it effectively all the way down to the 1H charts, but below that it becomes sufficiently choppy that the various signals ...

Hi Trader8686, I don't have any active trading plan on this pair due to a variety of reasons. One of the biggest is the fact that price is trading inside the 1D kumo ("cloud" in Japanese). This is essentially an area of "no trend" where price action ...

Thanks, Zawodowiec. I appreciate the kind words! I found out the hard way about the futility of trying to predict the market's next move - I lost a significant portion of my account equity early-on, like many who start out in the Forex. After that, ...

Hi JokersWild, Thanks for the link. I think Nicole Elliott is a very sharp analyst and I have a lot of respect for her. I actually corresponded with her a bit when I first started studying Ichimoku. However, while we both rely on Ichimoku for our ...

Scrat, I'm basically saying that we could be looking at the possibility of a new, multi-year downtrend, much like we have seen with the current uptrend that started in January of 2003. As we all know, the "trend" is entirely dependent upon what time ...

Hi gang, I spotted this thread on GBP/JPY and wanted to add my two cents to the mix. I've made "silly money" on this pair like the Duke, but there are some very concerning signs that the lucrative carry trade may be ending, at least temporarily. I ...

Sorry - Our ISP just installed some new "grid" servers and we've had a couple of short interruptions in service due to this. They seem only to last a couple of minutes, in general. I am in touch with them about this and hope to have it completely ...

Lou, Many apologies for not getting back to your post sooner. I've been so involved in running my own forum and finishing of the Ichimoku Wiki that I have been remiss in coming back to FF... As far as your question goes - YES - having bullish ...

Actually, Ichimoku gives you very clear targets. This is primarily done via the chikou span, though other structures within Ichimoku can also be used (e.g.: senkou span A, B, kumo shadows, etc.). There is a lot of misinformation out there about ...

Hi Todd, I have some examples of this on my website at www.kumotrader.com in the "Ichimoku Kinko Hyo" section. In addition, a colleague of mine, Vincent Hunt (www.huntfx.net) has a very extensive blog with a number of his own articles annotated with ...

Congrats to you and your wife, SB! I've got two boys myself, one is 4 and the other is 18 months. Nothing compares to being a Dad. Is this your first? - Ian

Sounds like a great thread to start. I have to admit that I often think how much I would like to trigger a EUR/USD trade based on an inverse price movement in USD/CHF... Let me know if you do get one started and I'll be happy to cast my two cents as ...
- iboersma replied Jul 24, 2006
Hey SB, Yes, I think your reasoning is sound regarding the inverse relationship, though I look at EUR/USD more closely for confirmation about the Swissie and it is heading down very distinctly at this point. GBP seems to be a bit more indecisive ...

I pulled my account from InterbankFX after my emails to their management team over the fact that their production system was going offline several times a day went completely unanswered, that the MT4 platform had no working news feed (though that ...
