Disliked{quote} My bets are: 1) Original v6 with 200ma : lots of trades, with sometimes large DD, probably the biggest Profit though. 2) v6i with my original Ichimoku : less trades than 1), expecting DD not as large nor spiky (unless red news events), possible issue with no safety net Exit. 3) v6i2 with your Ichimoku ideas with Kijun Sen Exit : less trades than 2), expecting low DD and a few long runs. 4) v6i2 with your Ichimoku ideas and no Kijun Sen Exit : similar number of trades to 3), but could blow out DD if no Ball 3 exits and no safety net. 5) v6i2...Ignored
JustUncleL I am 100% onboard with using Kijun-Sen when I read your I idea it put a bit smile on my face, I have the current belief that using price breakout and close of the Kijun-Sen is really the only useful part of the Ichimoku (total false statement as there are a lot of different ways to profit from Ichimoku) but then with the addition of the cycle balls and bang! what a fantastic idea!
In my manual trading, I stopped using the cloud and started trading it using only Kijun-Sen. When I was checking back over the years to see how the cloud played with the Cycle TS I noticed a lot! of missed opportunities. Where using Kijun-Sen breakout (and waiting until it closes) was actually working quite well. That said (ignoring repainting) most of the first entries from the cycle TS after the breakout ended up coming back to a similar entry price before moving back in the correct direction. Will be interesting to watch it in real time.
My bet for the winner in safety and profit over time is "v6i2 with Ichimoku ideas with Kijun Sen Exit"
Fantastic work guys! I am really looking forward to seeing this play out.
