Hey Golfer

From there there will be no trees till the hole i'll make sure to be up there
I love your thinking....Vic the pip whore....on the Eur/Gbp not much of a r/r....the Gbp/Jpy could offer the pips for a nice r/r.

But you no me....just a humble daly trader...so I just sit on hands.

You know what i decided to focus on the slow moving pairs like the usdjpy , gbpusd ...., they are not crazy like the gbp jpy and they offer good signals even on the 1hrs with suitable MM and RM.

have a nice week

Guys i'll try to show you the magic i see in the Kumo ..'
the EUR JPY last up move i was in with 3 positions closed 2 and the 3rd is few pips away from the target
the daily supported the move since day one
there where the 4hrs Kumo crossed up and the price broke the 1Hr Kump, i trusted in the trend i looked for long entries all the way amd it was good , this is how i saw it , and this is how i saw the GBP USD , and what i imagine for the EUR GBP and the USD JPY , enjoyyy

Hey warriors...made a nice easy trade today on the GBPJPY 1HR chart using the Divergence Candle along with the basic ICHI

What I would have usually done is take a quick 30 or so pips, let it retrace and it did back to the 4hr Ks line and then re-enter and ride it up. But I couldn't hang around the puter so I took about 50...

Unlike some of you who ride a winning trade into a losing one and then back into a winning trade I usually grab a pre-determined amout of pips, let it retrace and then re-enter for a ride...Many times the retracement is a good affirmation of the continuing trend...Just my way of trading...I just don't like turning a winning trade into a loser!!!

Just my 3 and one-half cents worth

the Eegle

Vic thanks. I have to go to bed. Its 2.40am here in Nigeria.I will have only 4hrs of sleep after which I will have to prepare myself for work. Its worth the sacrifice. I am looking forward to when I will be at home as a full time trader.

Bye everyone

Vic, can you tell me where you got the Ichi template with the multi TF trend indicator? That looks like it would be helpful to use

Hi Vic

Would really appreciate it if you could provide me some guidance on when it is ok to trade against the higher TF trend. In this GBP/USD pair, the Daily and Weekly PA are not above the Kumo clouds yet.

Thanks

Nice one Sammer,

Took one close to it myself but only in demo. Still checking to see how much trouble I might get into b4 I do it live. My MM & RM skills are pretty much non existant.

Actually I cheated though I set up a 2-hour chart. Check it out. I have been experimenting with period converter and making up my own TF’s. Have been getting some interesting results with M90 & H2 charts. Sorry I dont have the original trade on the screen but I don't worry about keeping demo stuff around. Oh, so 50p tp and 50p sl below the Ks.

It's funny you mention money and risk management skills. The beauty of Ichimoku trading is that the cloud shows you very clearly where the risk of the trade setup is, and the profit potential can be estimated from looking at higher timeframes (I'm aware that many Ichimoku strategies don't require a hard profit target but instead let the trend run, but I still regard it good trading practice to be aware of support and resistance levels lying ahead). On top of this, the risk picture you get is multi-dimensional and dynamically adjusting, so it basically takes the guess work out of trading. Money management then boils down to position size only.

To me, Ichimoku is not so much an indicator but actually a basic system, which can of course be enhanced by using multiple timeframe, additional indicators, fundamentals etc.

you are doing great as i can see and i am sure you can make it as many do here .
as for money management , this depends of each one of us and his appetite for risk . i remmber at the begining of this thread i have asked the master VIC why do he look for 50 pip and what s the reason for 50 pip, as matter of fact since i have started trading ichi . i bank my profit sometimes before i reach target , and wait for a retracement to reenter the trade . or i close half or 2 lots out of 3 and move stop loss to BE . this is how i control the risk , my nzd trade of before i have closed 2 lots and i am letting the 3rd lot to run risk free . and so i will do with the euro now in case i feel it is losing some momentum or it will retrace , i bank it and i wait for reentry .
i have USDSGD trade its still running since yesterday entered on 15 min chart and it is +105 pip until now .
one more thing i would like to say about TF , if you are TRADING daily chart or 4 h chart and u fine tune your entry on 15 min chart , this do not mean i am trading 15 min chart . i am trading 4 h chart and the 15 min was only to fine tune my entry .
happy trading beleive in this ichi and u will succeed in it
regards
