Ichimoku

I have a hunch Dr. Tyross is a professional in a variety of things.

The Tyross' link is found at Ichimoku and Price Action found on FF thread 669343. I believe it began in 2016. It is well worth exploring. He presents some especially interesting insights on use of the Chikou (lagging span) and low time frame trading of Ichimoku.

Enjoy!

RaHaG0D - when you check for the alignment of the senkou a, b, kijun, and tenkan, do you check above the price candle? Or is the senkou span evaluated at the 26th position?

example… valid or no?

Here are my 3 trades for the last 2 days +9%, +9%, -2% and 1 ongoing trade. I trade Weak Kumo Strategy. +16% so far.

Thank you, my friend, I remember you. I had some major health issues in June and July 2017, which forced me to rethink my priorities and step away from the screens.

I now work with dynamic systems, which I learned from a French trader who created his own system back in 2003. I have adapted his teachings to fit my own vision of the markets on very little TF.

Indeed, I had a real passion for Ichimoku, and I still love it very much; I often look at it on the DAX just for pleasure.

There is one important thing to know about Ichimoku: you have to make it your own, whether your approach is simple or complex—the essential thing is that it makes sense to you. It is a much broader system than it appears, allowing for many personal interpretations. No two people have exactly the same logic: we are all different.

Don't feel any hesitation about changing the rules of the game to suit your own reasoning, regardless of what others think—only the results matter.

My One Trade Friday.

Hi
This TIME pattern repeats frequently.
But I dont know how to use em.
“I know that Iranian Ichimoku traders use this pattern a lot.”

I hope you also have a great year alongside your loved ones. Thank you sincerely for your beautiful prayers.
Unfortunately, I can’t always check FF or respond to everyone’s questions.
Sadly, my daughter needs surgery, bc she is very young, it comes with its own serious risks. We are currently searching for the best possible solution &consulting with specialist doctors.
Please ask your question with an image, my friend—that will make it clearer.
Regarding your question about number touches to the Emma zone: focus on 17 and its sums. Most people analyze time based purely on highs and lows, but my approach is centered on 17, on whether there is a touch to the Tenkan & the specified zone or not. No matter how much I talk about the importance of 17, it is still not enough—it is that central.
I hope I’ve answered your question correctly.
The Emma zone includes the 9-bar range before the start line, with an equilibrium period of 17, another key one at 52.
As for 26, I didn’t quite understand what you meant by that.

Hi everyone,
Some people say that the Ichimoku indicator allows us to estimate future time projections based on the numbers 9, 17, and 26. It also reflects market psychology and price waves through signals like price crossing the Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, and the Kumo, which helps identify strong versus weak trends.
The key point is combining multiple timeframes. For example, if price crosses the Kijun-sen on the 4-hour chart, that often translates into a full wave on the 5-minute or 15-minute chart. The challenge is understanding what Ichimoku looks like on the lower timeframe in that area in order to enter a trade.
Could you help analyze and expand on the ideas above?

1. Choose higher timeframes: H1 and H4
2. Identify the trend (price relative to Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen)
   1. If price is above both Tenkan and Kijun → only look for buys and wait for buy setups
   2. If price is below both Tenkan and Kijun → only look for sells and wait for sell setups

3. Identify the Kumo (cloud structure)
   1. Price above the cloud → uptrend
   2. Price below the cloud → downtrend
   3. Price inside the cloud → unclear trend, no trading

4. Switch to lower timeframes (M5–M15) for entries
   1. Trades must follow the direction of the higher timeframe
   2. Never trade against the higher-timeframe trend

5. Quantify time by counting candles
   1. If the setup is based on the H4 timeframe, then:
      1. M15 must have more than 17 candles
      2. M5 must have more than 26 candles

   2. If there are not enough candles, do not enter the trade

6. Wait until all conditions are met before placing an order
   1. Correct direction
   2. Correct cloud structure
   3. Correct wave structure
   4. Sufficient time (enough candles)

7. These are some points I’ve summarized so far.
   Does anyone have additional insights to share, further analysis, or even counterarguments to discuss?

a good read if you have time

Hello everyone,
I have been following this amazing thread with great fascination. Emma's perspective on space, time, and the number 17 has completely shifted how I view the market.
Since Emma's sharings are a bit scattered around, I decided to make a checklist so that everyone could use it to analyze the market following Emma's method.
Emma, if you have time, could you please take a moment to review this checklist? I would be grateful to know if my understanding aligns perfectly with your core ideas, or if I missed any crucial details.

THE ICHIMOKU EQUILIBRIUM SYSTEM (EMMA'S METHOD)

STEP 0: PRE-REQUISITE (SATURATION FILTER)
Do not analyze if the market has not reached saturation.

1. Previous Kumo Break: Has the current closing price broken beyond the Highest High/Lowest Low of the previous Kumo cloud? (If not = Just a correction Stand aside).
2. 9-Candle Isolation Rule: Have both Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen remained consistently on the SAME SIDE of the Kumo for at least the previous 9 periods? (If mixed inside the cloud Stand aside).

STEP 1: THE TRIGGER (START CANDLE)

1. "No Connect" Candle: Identify a candle floating completely free from the Tenkan-sen (no body, no wick touch).
2. The "Start" Candle: Wait for the FIRST candle to decisively close across the Tenkan-sen (Body crossing >= 50%, minimal wicks). Mark this exact time as Candle 0.

STEP 2: SPACE-TIME MAPPING

1. Future Emma Zone: Count forward exactly 17 periods from the start candle. Draw horizontal lines from Span A and Span B at that specific future time to create the "Emma Zone" box.
2. Past 9-Bar Range: Count backward 9 periods from the start candle. Mark the Highest High and Lowest Low of these 9 candles to form the "Base Range Box".

STEP 3: SETUP CLASSIFICATION & ENTRY
Evaluate the past to determine the future direction:
Setup A: Phase Shift (Reversal Trade)

1. Verification: Count forward to candles 9, 17, and 26 from the start candle.
2. Condition: These specific candles (especially candle 17) MUST touch or fall inside the horizontal boundaries of the projected Emma Zone.
3. Action: Enter trade at the start candle. The gap is filled, and a phase shift is confirmed. Target the first boundary of the Emma Zone.

Setup B: Trend Continuation (Pullback Trade)

1. Verification: Candles 9, 17, and 26 after the start candle DO NOT touch the Emma Zone.
2. Action: DO NOT trade the reversal. This is merely a correction.
3. Execution: Wait for the price to pull back into the Emma Zone. Look for rejection wicks and a new candle crossing the Tenkan-sen to re-enter in the direction of the original trend.

Setup C: Momentum Breakout (9-Bar Range Break)

1. Condition: Price decisively breaks out of the "Past 9-Bar Range" (from Step 2) with at least 50% of the candle body.
2. Chikou Confirmation: At the exact moment of the breakout close, look back 26 periods. The Chikou Span MUST cross the price (1 to 3 candles delay is acceptable).
3. Action: Enter the breakout, provided Kijun-sen is not blocking the path.

STEP 4: TRADE MANAGEMENT

1. Stoploss: Place SL on the opposite side of the 9-Bar Range (or utilize ATR buffer to avoid stop hunt as I usually use).
2. Time Decay: If it takes too long for the price to break the previous 9-bar range after crossing Tenkan (maximum 9 bars allowed) or to reach the Emma Zone , momentum is lost. Close the trade early.
3. The 50% Rule: Once the price reaches the Emma Zone and penetrates 50% of its range, you MUST secure profits (move SL to breakeven or take partials). The market decides its next major move here.

Thank you so much for your time, I look forward to getting reply from you

Thank you for putting everything together for better understanding. And for RAHAGOD we pray his daughter is heal, I guess that why he has been away recently.

Pls if we are using this system I will suggest we keep posting it's result here so it can help we the newbies. Pls
