This is USDCHF, would you call this completing the signal when the Ks emerges from the kumo? The cross is above the cloud but I'm not sure it really qualifies...just got me thinking as the post Vic talked about the other day mentioned waiting for the signal to "complete" - just wanting to clarify.
to be honest, I don't like seeing the Cross above the cloud so for me i'll ignore this position and search for another one

cheers

Ok, and if the cross was in the cloud or below it, we could wait for the signal to complete but check with the higher timeframes?

better to go only with the strong cross, think it as a trader , why to put your money in a neutral or a weak signal although you can find several strong signals on other pairs

what do you think now ??!!

Yes, I agree with that completely, I was just a bit confused by the post the other day where we were waiting for the chinkou to complete. However, the Ts/Ks cross in that case was a strong cross.

yes Correct we can wait for the Span to confirm a strong Cross, this will be more safe for the trade

USDCHF - possible cross on 4H chart, higher timeframes support downmove. What you think - is it a good sitiuation for short on H4?

why not , once the cross is confirmed you can sell , and keep it managed by Ichi

hi
the master vic has spoken and as he said why not .
i would just add , if you enter after a cross on H4 , and u fine tune ur entry with a cross on m5 or m15 . that do not mean you are trading m5 or m15 , u are just fine tune ur entry to prevent a possible DD . sometimes waiting like this might cost u not to enter a trade but when u enter u have a very big chance to succeed .
morality : i wouldn't short UC now , i would wait for it to retrace and better followed by a cross on lower time frame .
and dont forget i might be wronnnnng

Hi Vic

Firstly just wanted to congratulte you on a great system.

Only started reading the thread last night, never even really took any notice of the "Ichimoku" system, but was feeling a bit low after getting my butt kicked but the markets yesteday and started browsing the web. Using it since last night and I'm already 61 pips up ! It would have been a lot more but I chickened out as I'm not used to the lively candle movement on the M5....lol.

I'm running it on 12 pairs and have one screen displaying M5 charts for trade entry signals and one screen duplicated, but displying H4 charts for trend confirmation and for matching direction to the M5.

Anyway my questions are......

1) Once you exit a trade are there any oppertunities to re-enter if its clearly a strong move. If so what are we looking for ?
2) You seem to have a set target of about 50 pips to go for on a trade. With all due respect that seems to be a weak area on the system. Do you or would it not be better to aim for pivot point/support/resistance levels? Or am I missing something and Ichimoku in someway can also identify when its time to exit a trade?

Anyway its awesome ! good job !!

Cheers

i think the USD CAD and the AUD USD on 4hrs look very promising , i might jump with one of them once the signal is confirmed

i hate the USD CHF it is a very slowwwww pair , last week i opened the position for 2 days and only took 38 pips

wishing you the best

Careful watching 12 pairs, you can't catch every move

Thanks
I can assure you Ichimoku is the best , just give a chance and you will be amazed by the results on long term, regarding your questions

1-You can always re renter with a strong signal on lower TFs
2-I used to have 50 pip as my daily target , also it is a good target for a 5 min trade, but if you are using higher TFs you can always move your stop with Ks or TP with the next S/R level

have a nice day

Guys any one noticed the EUR JPY

seems we might get a 1Hr strong cross, if so i'll enter this deal but will be taking care of the daily resistance

4Hrs and Daily charts are supporting the long view


feel free to ask about anything

Pound crosses are the place to play...if you think the US dollar is in trouble, the pound is worse.

GBP/you name it...I would get in on pullbacks.
