DislikedHello my friend...listen allow me to explain why the trade failed..I think you were concentrating so much on the Ichi that you forgot to check you Support.
I dont care what Ichi tells you on the 15 or any chart when there is strong S/R you had better wait till it clears or it can fast become a losing trade. I have attached charts with this post and with one look you can see why the trade failed for you especially when you dont want a great drawdown.
I know that I really have to take my time and just not watch the Ichi signals without checking...Ignored
Anyway, I am trying out the longer timeframes for a while because I don't think the 5min chart is for me. I am trying to focus on trade entries near the kumo, which gives a very good R:R ratio for trades. I will see how it goes.
I will continue to look at the 5min trading methods but there are so many pairs to trade off the 1, 4, and Daily charts that I think it is less stressful to trade them. Personally, I don't mind a drawdown if the entry is good and I have faith in which way the market is going to go.
