This is a problem, but let's face it, on those ambiguous candles you can ignore the signal if you like! Really bullish or bearish divergent candles will appear similar regardless of the broker.
Yes the strong ones will, it's just confusing when your trying to learn from others. I had the same problem when I was on the JAmes16 thread.

For training purposes we might try to find a mutual platform and broker so we all see the same thing.

Just a thought.

There was no GBP/USD bearish cross on the 5M. Where did you see that?

Hello everyone,

Glad to see that my time has made some sort of a difference. Thanks everyone for the nice words. San Miguel asked if trades closer to the kumo therefore resulted in smaller stops, thus higher pip value. In many cases, this is true, but there are also some times where the kumo does not flat line or is not very thick, and another S/L should be used.

FxScavenger,

If you could specifically tell me what is wrong with my graph colors, I may be able to change them.



At any rate, I wanted to follow up on my trading of EUR/USD.

Tired of waiting for price to hit my long order @ 1.4746, so I went ahead and bought now @ 1.4781. T/P set for 1.4842 (Sept 23 high). Still keeping my long order...

Why? Because of the strong bullish chart on the daily (Ichimoku screams bull) Ichimoku 3-hour chart showing many bullish signs (shown below, future kumo opening into a wide green cloud, chikou span ready to break out of price bullish, flat kumo, TS, and KS all around 1.4745, indicating strong support here). I set my S/L for 1.4730, creating roughly a 1:1 R:R trade.

Trade at your own risk, but good luck

You Ts & Ks are backwards from everyone elses.

Ts sb red not Blue

and

Ks sb Blue not red

I was reading all you posts and checking out your charts earlier today and when I called a TK cross short a few posts back It was long, I got so use to looking at your color scheme... It was my mistake, but consistancy helps.

Didn't know we were paying attention, did ya?

I just got done spending 2.5 years working with some EWT, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, Bill Williams, & Strange Attractors - I See Mandelbrot people, designing Indis and such. I came here to study Ichimoku and was very happy to find Ichi purists well mostly purists. I'm Not really interested in hybrid systems at this time. But your all ichi all the time, so....ya got my attention.

But your all ichi all the time, so....ya got my attention.
The question is how do you define purist? I have done backtests and can prove Ichimoku has an extremely high positive expectancy for the following rules:

1. H1, H4 TF agree on trend, price above or below H1, H4 senkou A.
2. M15 cross in same direction as higher TF trend
3. Price inside Chikou span (Chikou span not inside price)
4. Exit on close above senkou A.

For the last 12 months there may have only been less than ten of those signals per pair. But when everything above lines up (purist) we are talking average 350 pip profit.

So back to the question, how do you define purist? I certainly wouldn't define k's work as Ichi purist (no offense intended), I wouldn't even define it as different to using any other MA system. If all you want is a bit of equilibrium and ob/os then I use 55EMA and 178MA on any chart to trade with probably a better expectancy than k (no offense again), and I don't need to use buy stops/sell limits to do it.

Hi guys,
I see that the time while vic was away was really a consolidation period for a breakout, this resulted in a new trend of divergeant candles and fractals. well I had some time to analyze the charts and came up with the following. you can see on the charts below that CSTLB is quite in agreement with the fractals, and sometimes gives its own signal much earlier than fractals. I have compiled the overview on Bill williams theory from Alpari, and sinners view from his thread, will try to upload them later as I am at work now with no access to my laptop, I hope you find it helpful.

Hi lb
How did you get the trendline for this re-entry, did you use the Ts bounce because there don't seem to be 2 troughs to form a trendline here:

Hi Thierry,

Why do you need fractals when that is a clear bounce off a flat Kumo cloud?
Hello kevin

I understand that you don't use fractals but in case of clear bounce off, what kind of order do you place, where and why ?
Thanks again for your advices kevin.
