Ichimoku forever

That page is the chart data, the data on there is placed on the page by the button on the entry page that says “daily chart update”. The script on the button will use 30 updates of data, you can update it daily, every hour you update it is what ever you want to do. The idea of that was to create the page that they posted before at the London open each day. That is all that button is for, if you do not use it then only that chart will not update.

Click on the bottom where it says entry page(the red rectangle in the pic),then it should look like the page in the pic I attached. This is where you enter your data for the price Vs kumo.

Enter your numbers in the area inside the green rectangle in the pic, follow the note in the yellow box (inside the orange rectangle in the pic) if price is above enter 3, neutral 2, below 1

yes or no for news if you use that goes in the area inside the blue rectangle in the pc.

(the rectangles are not on the worksheet)

If you want to use that chart then you click that button that says daily chart update (that is all that button does)

If you want to add different pairs to the list change the names of the pairs on this page only and they will change everywhere else.

After you update the numbers on this page, click on the bottom where it says Ichimarketwatch and that will take you back to the main page with your new ratings, they update automatically as you type in the new values on the entry page.

Thanks again for your explanation, I see now that in order to get the data on the front sheet one has to enter the coding manually on the entry page. buddy that is quite alot to do hourly, but I guess you don't need to. OK, that is understood, but what is the function of the charts sheet? I remember when it was previously updated by Probably GeraldFX a histogram used to display on the front page is that it?

“Thanks again for your explanation, I see now that in order to get the data on the front sheet one has to enter the coding manually on the entry page. buddy that is quite alot to do hourly, but I guess you don't need to”

Not sure what all you are talking about but it takes less than 5 minutes to update the data on the entry page. It is probably less than 2 minutes. I use the number 3,2,1 on the entry page because they are right next to each other on the keyboard, you can change them to any number you want by editing the formula page. I use the arrow keys and the numberpad to fill in the sheet. And you do not need to do it every hour, just when you are trading or waiting for a trade. Example you would update it when you first start trading, then update it each hour you are not in a trade. If you enter a trade within an hour of updating the page why would you need to keep updating the page? The sheet does not tell you to exit or even enter a trade if just filters some pairs for you to look for entries on.

“but what is the function of the charts sheet? I remember when it was previously updated by Probably GeraldFX a histogram used to display on the front page is that it?”

No, the chart on the front of the old page was just a bar chart that showed the values that are listed on the page. You can easily add that chart back if you want.

The charts page is to replace the “London open” page that they would make a copy of. If you click that update daily chart button once per day it will build a chart with your daily rating it keeps 30 updates so you will end up with a chart with 30 days of data. If you click it every time you update you will have a chart with 30 updates. You can easily edit the script to keep more than 30 updates.

Thanks, you have to forgive my ignorance, I've only started to experiment with this sheet today. few days earlier I only clicked the signature of GeraldFX and I realized that he was updating it but did not know how, I just thought you only cliked the button and it would update everything

How would you add it back?

Now this is a bit confusing? which London open page?
I appreciate your help, and I am not lazy, but I really tried to read from the page where it all started, but was quite confused especially that most of the links to the sheet from those pages are no more valid.

“How would you add it back?”
When you have the worksheet open go to the insert menu and select chart and that will let you create that little chart that was on the front page before.

“Now this is a bit confusing? which London open page?

I don’t really know what it was I think they just took a screen shot of the page when they first updated it for the day for some reason. So with that chart in the new one it will make a chart that kind of replaces what they were doing with the screen shot. It is optional and just there if you want to use it.

You might of missed this then, Gerald posted a screenshot a while back on how he set up his charts to update the worksheet. here is a pic of mine, I just made a profile in mt4 that I load when I want to update the sheet it just uses the ichi360monitor. I put the boxes in the same order that they are in the worksheet.

here is the link for the indicator if you dont have it.

Hi Gorron,
I have to thankt you again for taking so much time to explain how to update the sheet. I feel really stupid to ask another question regarding this because I am probably just doing a silly misstake again...

I have the sheet in Google docs...I press the MARKET WATCH 15 pairs..

1. I get everything to look like your attatched screen after pressing ENTRY PAGE but...I try to update the numbers 1-2-3 and I cannot change the numbers in the cells? Atleast nothing happens...Am I in view mode or what am I doing wrong?

2. Also for the news field. What is a good www page that you check every day for important news items?

3. The sheet is made to trade on the 15min right? Do you do your first update just before london opening?

Again thanks for spending the time answering these silly questions.

Thx
Usm

Hi guys, i hope you all got your piece of the GBPAUD cake. I am off for the day with +107pips.
I love this forum. Stick to the simple rules and it works like magic. Thanks to vic and the guys. kino u are a star too.

A brilliant idea Gorron, I was also thinking that the kino monitor does the same thing only it does it continuously, only missing the daily, so if kino is feeling generous he could include it as a third row and use arrows instead of X??

Thanks GF, it's great, the only problem is that it triggers only once whereas the MT4 alert can beep as much as you want for as long as you want.

Again thanks, I did modify the display of ichi360 indicator as indicated, it's quite clear.

edit: I removed a question, apparently the problem is solved.

screen i took five minutes ago
you can see there are SEVEN "currencies" and you can choose what you want by putting true on setting panel
i suppose it depends of broker you have
so i'm sorry for traders that wanted use it
kino

If price had broken through the top of the cloud, there had been a tenkan/kinjun cross, but the Chikou span was still in the cloud, once the chikou span clears the cloud, would immediately enter, or would wait for the bar to close before entering the trade?
thanks guys, great thread!!

Wait to bar close.

Good luck!!!

Before entering, have you determined you exit? An entry should consist of:

1. Entry point
2. Exit point
3. Cut loss point

Guys the forum is so quiet today, cut my break short to take a piece of the action on Gbpchf, i hope you all didn't miss that too. +26 pips made my day awesome. GbpAUd +107, gbpChf +27= 134pips today.

Just stick with the boss, even when the road is rough, it still leads to the right place.

Hello, great job, congratulations. What do you mean under Boss? Daily, Weekly, 4H or Monthly chart?

Can you,please, explain your set up today? 4h and 1 H price about cumo and chikou about price and position opening on the 15 min.chart? /K/T ceoss, Price above cumo, chikou above price/. Correct? Thank you,

Very simple, just do what the sheet says. no complicated strategies. follow the trend, trade the strongest with the weakest currency and bank the pips. if you don't know the rules are, it should be in the sheet or go back and read earlier thread.
Then free your mind and follow it. Don't ask too much complicated questions, you only get more confused. leave most of the indicators out, just use ichi as it is.

hope that helped, now let's dance in the pips rain, vic no more youtube videos for the guys????

NB; life is easy when u don't make it too complicated

“1. I get everything to look like your attatched screen after pressing ENTRY PAGE but...I try to update the numbers 1-2-3 and I cannot change the numbers in the cells? Atleast nothing happens...Am I in view mode or what am I doing wrong?”

Make sure you made a copy of it and that it is in your account, go to docs.google.com and log in to your account, if it does not show up in there then you need to make another copy to get it in your account.

“2. Also for the news field. What is a good www page that you check every day for important news items? “

You see the little factory icon next to the words forex factory on the top of the page click on it. The front page of FF has all the news items you need.


3. The sheet is made to trade on the 15min right? Do you do your first update just before london opening?

I think there is some confusion on just what the worksheet is used for, Vic can correct what ever I get wrong in here.

The worksheet is a filter it is not an indicator, trading system, or entry/exit signal. All the worksheet does is filter out pairs to trade, based on the guidelines Vic has in this thread.

You enter the relationship of price vs kumo for the pairs and then when the H1 and H4 match the sheet will say buy or sell, and that is not an entry signal that just means that you look for a buy or sell on that pair. Then it will also calculate a simple value for the pair so if you have a lot of pairs to watch you can narrow it down by only looking at the highest rated pairs, instead of every pair that says buy or sell.

For example if you watch 15 pairs lets say 6 of them end up with a buy or sell on the worksheet, you can then look at the ratings and pick the highest rated 2 – 3 pairs and only watch those pairs. Load up your charts for those 3 pairs and look for your entry.

That is all the worksheet does, it takes the 15 pairs you started with and filters them down to just a few to watch charts on. On the versions I edited it sorts the pairs automatically so the strongest sells are on the bottom with a negative number and the strongest buys are on top with a positive number. That rating number has no value outside of the worksheet all that number is used for is a secondary filter you don’t even need to use it. in the example you would just use the initial 6 charts to watch instead the 3.

You need to have your own rules that you follow for entry and exit the worksheet does not provide you any entry signals.

Here are some things you should do before you even use the worksheet.

1. Decide if you have the discipline to only trade in the direction of the 1hr / 4hr trend. And only trade the direction of that trend. If you are going to trade any entry signal your system gives you then you don’t need this worksheet.

2. Have your own trading rules wrote out on a sheet of paper with time frame you trade on, entry, exit, stop, ect..

3. Figure out what pairs you like to trade. The worksheet originally had the pairs that Vic liked to trade, that does not meant that you need to trade those pairs.

Go in your chart program open a new chart on the very first pair that shows up, set it to the time frame you decide to trade, with the indicators you decided to trade with and see what it looks like. Say for example you find some pairs only move on average 20 pips when there is a signal and need the same stop as a pair that moves 50 pips. Do you really need those smaller ones or not? your stop will have the same risk for half the potential profit. What about the spread on the pairs? Go through your broker check every pair provided to you and find the ones you want to trade.

If in the end you only have 5 pairs that you like to trade you don’t even need the worksheet you can just have your 5 charts open. You can still use it if you want to.

4. Now that you have your pairs picked out make a copy of the worksheet that matches the amount of pairs that you want to trade 5,10,15,20. you can easily edit the worksheet to any amount of pairs if one of those do not fit what you need.

5. After you made a copy of the worksheet, change the rules on the first page to your rules. You need your own rules on that page, so each day when you look at it your rules are right there in front of you.

6. go to the entry page and put your pairs in the list in the order that you want them.

7. update it each day maybe 2 – 3 times a day to filter your list of pairs for you.

8. If you still think the worksheet needs to be an indicator / blinky thing on your chart, provides you with signals, or takes more than 5 – 10 minutes per day to update. Go back and re-read this until you figure out what the worksheet really does or until you decide that it is not for you.

Very simple like vic will say. woke up, updated my sheet, which shows me which pairs to trade and what dircection. used the kino indicator to identify the weakest currency to pair with the strongest currency. Then i checked my chart to see if the 15mins, 1hr and 4hrs are all bullish or bearish. if the 3 signals are not complete i stand aside until they are. once they are, i go to 15min to find an entry. make sure you add a stoploss and a takeprofit depending on ur strategy, one of them being daily pivot level.

That is how simple vic has trained us to trade. no complicated strategy just simple follow the trend. please read past thread to get fuller information. or ask questions on the forum based on the above to fine tune your trading,

keep it very simple. thanks to vic, my other mentor and kino( for a wondeful indicator)

hope this is helpful
