ichimoku-clouds Breakout

Hi, thanks to share your ideas zamanib, i can make an EA (i think) for this system but i need to know a few things:

- Do we take every breakout of the cloud? do you filter some breaks at your discretion or use some ema's to go with the trend?
- Do you use specific trading times? London open, ny open...
- How do you manage the trade, stoploss is known, but do you want trailing stops, jumping stops, use of parabolic sar or ema's to raise the stop, fixed take profit targets , break even settings...

Regards.

Ok he used a 8 pips range bars -- this is aggressive ways - I trade off a 15pips less flase signal -- but all work generally make you pips

I'd love to hear from the guys on this thread how they don't get ruined in choppy markets. Below is an image from the GBPUSD on the 13th April - what would keep you out of this market. There are around 13 signals most of which would stop you out.

Any views appreciated.

I know this will come sooner or later-- look at these 3 charts on the 13th
you would have made a ton of pips

I said before there is no perfect system- but you have to be smart and look around- the win on the other 3 pairs would have offset the small losses in gbp/usd --

One way is to look at the future kumo cloud from zb's indicator.

last update: changed some code so orders should be placed for everyone who had trouble. Keep in mind to set trading=true when price is in the cloud, not before otherwise it will send an order directly

Can you use a set TP on this like the setup generally calls
for in manual trading?

What is the result of this ea over the last week if we had it running 24/7 live with the safer settings, and default TP and SL. Is there a way you can find out?

thanks

Fixed added manual TP option. uploaded back again in previous post.
i dont have test results, will test this forward on demo only.
I also thought i read that it is not possible to backtest with 2m charts.

Ido,

Can't get EA to work. I have it loaded on the chart but never entered the trade when the price broke through the cloud...

..is it working on your end?

not at first, the old bar closed just above span and new bar openend below, so no order was send. i made it like that so i wouldn't take a trade when you put the EA on the chart directly, while in the middle of a trend.
I changed this now, so next time it should work.
Right now when a bar closes inside the cloud, a variable named insidetouch will be set to 1.
From then on, when a candle closes above or below (and insidetouch=1), it will send the order

took the eurusd because of that a little later, sell order now active from 1.45509

Can the ea be used as an alert when price closes above kumo ?

Or does anyone have an alert indicator for a kumo breakout ?
  • #117
  • Apr 21, 2011 10:01am Apr 21, 2011 10:01am
What kind of alert? sound, email, message, arrow?

Ido370 that looks like some fantastic work. Without burdening too much - if you just wanted the signals to appear (so no robot trading)would it be possible to have a pop up alarm for when the bars close and change from white to green or from white to red?
I have no idea of the quantity of work involved in creating this so if too much just ignore. Thanks so far for your contribution.

I think this is a very good comment, if you look at most systems they look fantastic when the market is trending but as soon as you hit choppy water you're losing on every trade.
I only trade using Renko and have a number of filters to try to avoid ranging markets which do help, I've attached a couple of charts to show examples.
I only trade when I get an all blue or all red signal and exit at the turn of the Heikenashi, only long above the Kumo and short below, I also like to see the future Kumo bearish for short and bullish for long, but I'll still take a trade if all other signals are met.
The good days are fantastic and the bad days aren't usually too bad.

i just added the alert function. Just put Trading to false, and then you can select alert and/or arrows to true, to use it like an indicator
new version will be uploaded in same post.
