What do you guys thin of GBPCHF at the moment? May we see a bounce of the 1hr kumo? Price closed above the kumo on daily but shows no clear sign on weekly or on 1hr.

Also still in doubt because of the BoE news this morning. Do you think they will have an effect on GBPCHF?

Are you using different settings?
My GBPCHF chart shows a bounce off the daily kumo downwards at present - most recent SR zone is 1.7150.

Hmm: 9,26,52 shows it inside the kumo.
7,21,42 shows it outside the kumo.
Strange - that has me worried about my broker's data now...

Trade updates:
EURUSD: SL at break even and trade +93 (Daily trade)
AUDUSD: SL at break even and trade +40 (4hr trade)
NZDUSD: Trade +29 (4hr trade)
USDJPY: Trade -17 (1hr trade)

EU: currently +62 and SL at break even (bounce off Daily Ks)
AU: +22 (bounce off 4hr kumo)
NU: +20 (bounce off 4hr Ks)

Anyone who trades the longer timeframes, drwasho, etc.
What do you use as your entry signals?
To be honest, the above 3 trades were using ichi indicator lines but in conjunction with candle stick patterns where the daily trend has already been established for a long time.
Predominantly we trade PA bounces off the Daily/Weekly/Monthly TS and KS, for me it's more the Daily KS. The signals are only taken if the PA on the Daily, Weekly and Monthly are above the kumo. We use S/R lines drawn on the monthly charts as profit targets.

Been trading this way since 14/10/09 and I have netted a total of 523 pips with a 85% win... the only two trades I lost pips on were pending order issues. After I'm in the green by about 20 pips I move my stop to +1 pip and then check the 1 hour/local S/R for hints that the PA is about to reverse.

I missed that EURUSD and USDCAD bounce this week as I've been working on the indicator rather than trading... it hurts me to say but I would be up around 120+ pips if I got in!

Now with the indicator you've helped me optimize, the time it takes to setup and analyze trades is minimal, should be a much more active trader now that I don't have to worry about adjusting lines endlessly!

Guys, unless you haven't already signed up, head over to http://www.meetpips.com It's like Facebook for forex trading, you post trades and keep track of each other's performance and trading strategies. If you use the same names that you got here I'll add you, as my profile is private.

God bless,

Doc


PS SanMiguel, your knowledge of coding is freakish... @EVERYONE I've attached the final version of the indicator, numbers weren't updating with every tick and it was getting cluttered so I just removed it. You can get the price level by looking at the right margin of the chart or hovering your mouse over the line.

That's one way I'm looking to trade so I can have long term investments.
I like the short term trading method but I prefer looking at my charts once or twice a day and seeing whether prices are nearing 4hr or Daily Ks lines then making a decision.

Glad I could be of help with the indicator...

Gosh! Seems I'm the one with the sunday bar. Sorry for the confusion.

Are there any known settings for ichimoku that can compensate this? Is there any need to?
