Dear meteorsh,
I'm even newer than you in applying ichimoku. I'm now scalping on my real account with M1 in line with the trend of M5 and M15. My entry signal is T/K cross+kumo break+Chinkou cross; My SL is above/below kumo and TP of 20pip.
The results so far are positive. But the problem is my time as a part time trader, as a result, I missed a lot of good opportunities and when I have time to look at my screen then the signals seem not very ideal.

As you have applied ichi for 7 months, could you share your strategy?

I hope some other members...

You are welcome.
As far as I know, Ichi is very reliable but you need to be a full time trader to have stable profits when trading low TF.
Otherwise, you can trade with higher TF if you are rich enough to bear losses before wining.

Hi Guys

Im new here, but not a stranger to the ichimoku indicator, I have been trading and tweaking the indicator for over 3 years and know it inside and out, I have developed a few highly profitable strategies which I use everyday in my own trading and I am hoping to share some ideas with you guys here too.

Give me a few days to get my bearings and catch up on the current topic, then Ill be happy to help and hopefully add something to this great forum and this fantastic thread.

Hi,
Do you think most of the pairs (AY, AU, EY, EU, GY, GU ...) are in trending this week?
I'm waiting for the pull back on M1/M5/M15 to enter.
Any other advice?

I have been trading for quiet sometimes now and have never give any glance with Ichimoku system all this while.

It was because too many line need to be read and understand. But, I have just found a way to make it simple (correct me if I m wrong) yet promising.

I used the Tenkan Sen only to trade and combine with trend signal and MA based zigzag.

I short when the candle closed below the Tenkan Sen line and Long when the candle closed above the tenkan sen line. Surprisingly the trend signal pointing at where that happened.

can are you share u template and indi?

thanks

Thats because the TS and KS are the trend and momentum lines. You entered on a strong cross below the kumo. This is a common trade for Ichi traders. Your trend indicator and TS will probably match everytime. It is more common to trade price crossing over the KS.

No offense to you or anyone else, but why try to add or take away from the Ichi system? This was tested for decades before being introduced in, I think it was 1968. That was over forty years ago that it was introduced to the public and this system has stood the test of time. If you want to learn how to trade, then learn this system. If you want to change it to get quick results you are destined to fail because you don't understand the way it works, not your fault, but you need to take the time to learn it. If this was easy everyone would be doing it, its not, stop trying to change a system that has been around since the mid 1900's.

Again, no offense to you, but I would hate for you to waste time and money trading the TS cross when if you took some time to learn the sytem you would be amazed by the results.

Has anyone noticed before how Chinkou-span/Tenkan-sen cross seems to be more than a simple confirmation signal? It often works just like another entry strategy instead, for me, according to the other conditions of the chart, of course.
I usually plan my trades on the weekly chart and trigger them on the daily one (seldom on a H1 one), but noticed this works as well on lower TF like M5 or even M1.

You need to post a chart, but from that time lots of s/r in the area.
