1. Because the 200 MA is used by many many traders and therefore is one of the most "self fulfilling" indicators. whats also very important is, if price is near the MA, watch out. it often acts as strong S/R

2. i dont know which version of the calendar i use, i will post it when im at home tonight.

3. not really. as i mentioned a few pages back, i only trade mobile / on the go. if there is a setup i tell myself via emails which are sent from my computer at home, which is logged into the same account. i then check emails every hour.

just...

Thanks, i'm really interested in the way you trade it would help me tremendously for you to share the template and your setups. i prefer the most minimum to trade on the 1hr cos of my small capital. I'll look through the old posts for the email setup your using.

could everyone give me their take on financial news with ichimoku? is it a general no-no to trade when news is out? what sort of news are we looking at?

here i posted the indicator which sends emails with screenshots (its very rudimentary - a quick hack at best)
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...ostcount=13167

i modified this indi a bit (only strong ks/ts crosses), i will post it along with the template i use later.

i appreciate your faith in my trading, but im by no means a great trader or anything like that. im just starting, im a noob trying to continue the success of the first demo month...
Patience is key.

personally, i use the news calendar just as a help to know when to stay out. when there are high impact news ahead, i mostly dont trade any setups. or at least i am more cautious.

after news hit, you will see it reflected in price -> on your chart. like the last 24 hours, which where just crazy - i definitly didnt consider a trade since yesterday. lets see when it settles down.
Patience is key.

Your insights have helped me simplyfy the cloud.

The news is going to cause short term hiccup, but long term trend will definitely prevail.

Check the GBPCAD daily charts, strong PA yesterday ran into strong resistence at the kumo cloud.

Wait for reversal and boom. Although this is demo account, jumped out just to cool off the oversold warnings on hourly chart.

Pull back towards the flat kumo. In most cases you have price reaching 200 SMA in the higher timeframe

Hello Kinko ,

What is the percentage winning ratio with your system?
Sorry but I do not have verifiable data available for the trading system.
The main losses that I have are when I do not follow my own rules. The biggest culprit being the first one. 1. Wait for the bar to close below the cloud. Emotion sets in when it is time for a trade and the moment the bar crosses the cloud the urge is there to enter and 2-3 seconds before close of time it pulls back to within the cloud and usually the next bar starts to pull back completely resulting in a failed trade. The problem - I trade what I want to see happen and not what is actually happening on the screen.
The next one - exits to early on a trade - emotion - I do not want to loose what I have gained.
The other losses when I want to experiment with new systems. Sometimes with really bad results.

Thanks a2xm, of course I would like to share my strategy with you.

I use H1 and H4 time frames.

I wait for a full signal to entry.

In the same window price I put 3 ichimoku indicator with diferents setups to show 3 time frames: Day, H4 and 1H.

Nice analysis Legalindo.

I am benefiting a lot from this thread, I am finally able to objectify my long term analysis. TK cross under/above the KUMO on higher TF. How cool is that

Legalindo, would you mind sharing your template or at least post a screenshot!

Thanks in advance.

very nicely done.

I was afraid it was going to be messy, you handled very smartly.
When everything lines up, it clears the price action magically.

mucho gracias

Hi legalindo.. thanks for sharing your template here, could you explain why you have 3 kijun and tenken lines here? and what constitutes a full signal? when all the lines cross is it? This is also the double kumo method?
