I will watch the market and post something when I see a trade setup. I am not sure how it will help you though when you are trading the opposite way to how I said I trade. Just a thought.

Hi 4x, what is your strategy? Is there anything you can do on here while we await the setup of the TradeRoom, to help us follow you and learn?

I know a few of us post trades and ask for feedback, perhaps a few of the Pro's could post some of thier trades with explanations, we could follow and build confidence and experience...?

That's kind of how it used to be with Vic, I must admit thats what I miss about this thread...

I build my understanding of ichi that way, but unfortunately I think i am now armed with just enough knowledge to do damage...I am missing some key elements and so make to many errors of judgement..

May I just add, that the IchiMoku trading Video posted above was a real help, I found a few things watching that, that I had been doing incorrectly.

I will see what I can do however the markets are consolidating at the moment and it is quite time consuming which is why Vic is no longer here. I can review things you guys post and give feedback but I try to spend my time trading the ideas I see rather than writing about them, I hope you can understand. This is why I am not going to be restarting the methods we used before.

4x, Is this how it's forecasted?

In H4, the price is trying to break the thin kumo which has high probability in doing so. But having the price and TS distance being so far away, it is also wanting to do a pullback/consolidating.

So with this, we start looking for a sell signal in the lower timeframe, which M5 could lead to a very strong bearish signal with M15,M30 and H1 supporting it.

Or a buy signal when it has a strong bullish signal.

Hi 4x,

I understand, and to be honest I can't really blame you guys I guess. I will just keep on posting and reading the responses/guidance. The ichi video filled in quite a few gaps and clarified some areas I had misunderstood.

IMO if the daily closes like that below the KS it's then opened up to further weakness down to the kumo top.

4hr has potential to move lower but thin kumo normally means the market is undecided.

Overall I would take a bearish bias in this pair and look for sell signals on the lower timeframes like a KS retest on the 15min or 30min. I do not trade 5min charts and as a result have no opinion on whether there are setups on the 5min timeframe.

It is however not a very strong signal at the moment. In a week or so I think the EURUSD will have much better and clearer charts using ichi.

This is the thing, ichimoku is ONE of the methods that I use depending on the market direction at the time. Currently I am rarely using Ichi as we are consolidating at these levels.

I sold the EURUSD @ 1.4270 last week because it was a completed butterfly pattern using wave analysis, also bought USDJPY last week @ 80.50 area because there was a dinapoli double repo signal, sold EURGBP and AUDNZD last week based on their bearish engulfing weekly candle closes and have just opened a couple of small positions short AU and long UCAD based on a combination of moving averages and the CCI indicator looking for a short 20 pip or so scalp.

The only ichi trades that I have taken lately have been 30min kumo breakout trades on the GBPCHF. One failed and the other couple paid off quite well.

This is where I think a lot of guys stumble early in their trading in that they are looking for one method that works in all markets however NONE do that. It's a horses for courses approach that you need to take 'when the shoe fits' so to speak.

The recent consolidation in the EURUSD (check the weekly chart there are 3 consecutive nothing candles before this week) is why ichi is not clear at the moment. A few months ago ichi was giving great signals but at the minute not so much on the longer timeframes that I trade.

This is probably the primary reason that I am going to start this trading room. It will allow people to see and understand that a trading method is something created by the trader based on experience and analysis.

For me at the moment on the EU, if I was trading it on your timeframes I would wait for a 1hr KS retest and then look for an entry signal on the 5min chart as long as 15min was still below the kumo. But that's just me.

Cheers, 4x.

Hey guys

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, trading kinda took over all my time, and I found it harder and harder to post on here regularly. I have also been learning to code and I am currently designing my own EA.

My ichimoku trading has been outstanding and I have fine tuned my 1h and 4h Kijun sen strategy to perfection and they currently sit at a 75% and 84% average strike rate each. It has taken a few years of blood sweat and tears to get to this level of professional trading and I want to thank all my good friends from here and my old skype trading group for the support and comments over the past year.

I am planning on posting a few trades live on here again very soon, but first I want to tell you what I am currently planning.

I am designing and building an EA for both my methods, the rules will follow my exact method with the exact same rules and I am hoping to finish this EA in the next 3 - 5 weeks.

This EA will remain a private method and will not be sold commercially ever, it has taken me a very long time and thousand of chart hours to get to where I am today, and for this I am proud of what I have achieved.

However, the reason for this post is I am looking for a group of 5 traders to invest in my build and test my EA for 6 months, during these 6 months you will have complete access to the EA and can even place this on your live account. There will be a agreement that you will have to sign to say you will never share this EA or copy the coding (I will try and lock the EA as much as I can anyways) I do not want this EA going to market and will be very strict about copyright issues, that said I only plan to take on 5 of the most dedicated serious traders.

This is not a joke and only serious traders need apply, I need someone to take notes and watch the EA as much as they can, I want to test on all pairs 24h a day, The stops and the take profit is all programmed into the ea, it is a complete set and forget system.

Send me a private message if you are interested in being in my team of testers.

Thanks for listening

Does that mean, your trading decisions are only based on Kijun Sen?

Yes, I like to keep it simple, the Kijun Sen is very very powerful, every part of my trading revolves around the Kijun it is an amazing part of ichimoku

Hi,

Do you still trade with a Skype group? I think it would be so much quicker to fine tune our trading with some sort of live chat group to bounce trade ideas off and to see how some of you guys are doing things too....

good to see you back in here....

Looking forward to see some trades setups with Kijun Only... unfortunately my Kijun experiments went bad in some backtests.... Hopefully your thoughts will reactivate my attitude towards KS *smile*!

Hi mate,

Good to see you back around.

I am happy to help you out with testing. I am in the process of getting a new Mac Pro that will allow me to back test and run EAs over longer time periods and should have it within a week so can assist once it arrives.

I think this will be important if I am to run it on multiple TFs on multiple pairs simultaneously. Out of interest have you coded this as a learning EA that watches for daily ATR etc and adjusts parameters?

Let me know either way.

Cheers
4x.
