hi y'all,

this is a great corner for cloud surfers. really enjoying reading and absorbing information on this thread. many thanks to contributors who took the time and effort to write well thought out questions and responses. very helpful indeed.

i recently read Ichimok Beginner by Gabor Kovacs, Ichimoku Charts by Nicole Elliott, and just finished Cloud Charts by David Linton. does anyone know of any other advanced book written in english?

long EURCHF @1.3040,good daily set up
TP @ 1.3118 (weekly kijun sen)

what do you think dudes?i like this trade

Ok nice trade..... Question???

My Long - entry criteria are as follows:-
1) Tenken crossing Kijun from the bottom
2) Chinkou crosses Price action from bottom, at least 45 deg angle
3) Chinkou above the Price action
4) price action above Tenken & Kijun
5) if this happens below the cloud, then wait for Price action to break through the cloud... two thoughts a) Wait for candle to close above the cloud and enter on open of the next candle..b) wait for a candle to open and close above the cloud, then enter on open of next candle.

This would have caused me to enter at either a) 1.2987, or in the case of b) 1.2973....

This is 67 pips before your entry.. So my question is.. What indicator did you use to determine your entry point?

Hi Rhino.in my chart in eurchf the first candle that closed above the cloud was on 31/3 with closing price @ 1.3013.

then on 1/4 it opened @1.3012.OK that was my trigger to enter BUT ...i put a buy stop order @1.3040 because the flat top kumo on your left shows resistance...i wouldnt like to buy just few pips bellow resistance..my target was the weekly kjunsen

ps..i took profit on silver @38.15 previous high(i barely hold my self not to enter on this brake out,but there is a big negative divergence on rsi,,,would wait for a pull back)

What happened with the sheet that was developed in this thread? I have made a similar version for my own use and did not know if it's allowed to share in commercial forum as was developed and then taken away. Is it only for those that worked on it? I think its very useful, being hands on makes it yours and responsible for trades taken. I only have a rough draft finished but willing to share since the original is gone.

Thank you, now I have never even looked at the resistance of past kumo before... http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I really don't know why.. it just makes so much sense, and I always have before I started using Ichimoku....

Welcome
as i understand,trading is not an excact science.....everything is in the air..
and we can say this is an "average" good entry...or an average good take profit aerea...any price could be S/R...but we must play the odds with the most strong aereas... long flat kumos ,long flat kijun.....
i am trying to fuiger out things...

looking at a possible m15 kumo break, is this a good entry once price has closed above the kumo in your opinion, or would it be better to wait for a close above the h1 KS?

eurjpy in the shorter time frames are all over the place.... I call it a bag of nails...

Longer time frame H1 shows no real trend, so I would not get into any position at this time. Besides that, I woud wait for the Fundamentals as well... Eur is not looking good for the future, The ECB rate decsion could well cause turmoil.

Appreciate the code Kino. Will use with my sheet, sounds like will replace it. Are you still using it? Does it update hourly or by the minute? either way thank you.

I have had my best trade ever today using Ichimoku, short EUR/GBP from 02.40 this morning and closed it for 80 points profit (and could of had more). Why was it my best trade, not because I made 80 but because I did entered with a 5 point stop loss.

hi Swingfidle& Robd400
that indicator is calculated just like the excel sheet
go to posts on January3rd and 6th
it refreshed always but take many % of memory so you can put on a graph to report the best positives and negatives "scores" ( > +15 and < -15)
and deleted after (it depends of your computer's memory)

The criteria for Long is good. In Ichimoku strategy, is there a criteria for a Reversal Trade ?

e.g. the HIgher timeframe (say 15M) is showing Long, but the Lower timeframe(say 5M) is below the cloud and the TS and KS of the Lower timeframe are just starting to go back towards the cloud. Do I look for a thin Kumo (5M), so that it is likely to break thru quickly ?

I know, the point of Ichimoku, is to only catch the middle part of the trend, so I guess my question is mute. I guess I am trying to hurry my setups.
