Hallo Vic,

Is there a tools (may be alert) that give us alert at the time to enter (long or short) for the specified pair ?
I mean: may be something like the alert of EMA crossing ?

Thanks.

just a question about tenkan sen (TK) and kijun sen (KJ)

FIRST OF ALL, i understand the whole system of ichimoku and what is the meaning of those crosses and others...

TK-KJ CROSS is one of the powerful crosses. but when i look into charts, i find that the TK and KJ LINES may go hand in hand in 2 to 4 periods (depends on which timeframe), and then they separate..

if they stick together for 2-4 periods and then separate, then i entry trade when they separate, i found that it was LATE, of course, i know that CROSS means one line passing through another line..

so, how do you handle this situation? (take an example, the TK is going up and ready to pass through KJ, It is a long singal, simply speaking, however they stick together 2-4 periods..however, i find that once they stick together, no matter how long they stick, a cross must come out eventually. somehow, no false breakout at all)

thx

What you want to trade is price action, not the indicator action. The indicator is just a visual prop to help you interpret price action. Thus, if the two lines move together you need to make a decision on whether you have enough confidence in the signal to enter early or find it too weak and prefer to wait. There is no "law" governing that.

Looking at the timeframes above and below your entry timeframe in many cases is going to provide good clues.

Hi ichweissnich,

I've been plagued by the merger of those two myself. I have been taking the merge if the rest of the rules are in play, (strong signals from the kumo and Chikou) and the merger is on the right side of the cloud and the trend. I suggest you demo a couple of trades to seewhat works with those.

Hallo Vic,

I used the template you gave. But as I open the USD/CAD TF H1, the candle sticks are too narrow. Date is from 6 Oct - 16 Oct. How to set it like yours (only from 12 Oct - 16 Oct) ?
Sorry to ask this, I'm new to MT4. It must be somewhere at setting, but I don't know how to fix it.


Thanks.
Best Regards,

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...
I am just starting to get into Ichi and it is simply amazing. As you stated, it takes a lot of the risk out of trading and makes it easy to see the support and resistance levels. I like using the 1H and 4H charts. Can you clarify what you use from the 15M chart to adjust your trade? Are you using the KS level as your SL? Thanks for the pointers!

Morning guys/gals,

I see alot of traders struggle with the "I should get some of that" trading. There should be an important question to ask yourself...what type of personality do I have. Do I enjoy risk and need action or do I prefer to set and forget my trades with the overall big trend.

Trading countertrend involves experience, chart time and a aggressive trading style. There are some very good traders on the thread that have this trait and do very well and I applaud them. But you must put in the chart time and practice, practice, practice on one pair.

If you enjoy life and only want to stare at charts for a few hours a day then the daily chart is more than sufficient... but you must have a trading plan. I quoted a excellent trader on this a few posts back if you missed it.

So, what is your personality?

Have a great weekend,
