Hey SM, Eegle and the rest of you kumo stars on-line now --

How many pairs do you try to keep track of at one time. I think Vic has pared his watching down to 5 pairs.

I seem to miss things trying to keep an eye on too many things at once.

What's working for you?
4: GBPUSD, GBPJPY, EURUSD, and EURJPY.
If those 4 pairs do not show a strong trend or any setups then I switch to a screen with 12 pairs and pick the best out of those 12 as an extra to monitor.
Generally though, I will pick one setup for the week and go with that for the entire week unless something extra special appears on another chart.
For example, I am waiting on GBPJPY but have pulled up EURCAD at the moment as well as I don't see anything on EURUSD, EURJPY, or GBPUSD. I know they will develop something soon but I prefer to wait until the overall trend agrees.
Of course, if you are trading only 1 pair, then it is easier to use the other strategies such as CS trendline breaks, etc.
Alternatively, a set strategy such as vic did with kumo breaks.
I only trade the 1hr charts and up.

Thanks, SM

I like your layered strategy with 4 principal pairs to follow dropping down to 12 if not much going for the four.

Interestingly to me, you watch 2-Gs (no surprise!), 2-Es, 2-Us and 2-Js in combination.

I'm sure the A's and Cads, etc, pop up on your screen of 12.

With appreciation, Forest

Heys guys

I got stopped out on EURUSD today, I had a pending trade at the Ks and only had a -50 Stop Loss.

Wish I had been around for the break of the 1H kumo cloud, could of got me pips back (well done Vic, I saw you spotted it )

Im just wondering whats Kevin's strategy on this pair now, do we wait to see if it breaks below the 4h kumo and look for shorts, or are we expecting a big retrace?

Any input would be great

Also what do people think of the breakout of the EURJPY on the 1h and possible close below the Ks on the 4h?

Hey FS...
Since Ichi was new to me even though I have been trading some years now, I cut down pairs and watched the Ichi in action...Watching Price Action is WONDERFUL...even using just ONE OR TWO PAIRS to see and just take the good signals. Forget trying to get in on every trade...

I even recommend using the strategy tester and set it on the one hour with your ichi and just watch what it does over a week or so and keep on doing it until you get the feel how Ichi works and how you can trust it. Just run it over and over and you will get confidence.

Watch Price Action interact with Ichi over and over and over and over and over and over and over again----one more thing-----OVER AGAIN

To use the trade simulator on MT4 I have enclosed a picture and the EA I use which works good for me.

Hope this helps someone

hi
i would be looking around daily KS to see if i can go long , around 14750 or 14775 , with a large stop loss .because the retrace might be deeper .
anyway always look at the candle what it is doing before taking a decision to enter a trade .
the reason to go long is still a bullish EU and we still have the cross on daily and we are looking to reenter with the trend .
regards

hi again
this is a strategy invented by jacko( great trader ) , i believe many of you maybe have heard of him
if you were trading with the trend and u got stopped out .wait until the trade goes against u by 50 pip and place a pending order where u have been stopped , and when the market come back it will activate your order and u will bring back the pips u lost .
it works 80 % of the time . i use it a lot and it works .
ichidakiller if u are in demo try it and wait for the market to go beyond where u have been stopped by 50 pip and place a pending order where u have been stoped .

Anybody have any suggestions as to why Ichimoku Signal V 2.0 is causing metatrader to crash. If I have it on 1 chart it seems to be fine but any more and it stops dead.

Thanks in advance Fourxxxx
