ichimoku-clouds Breakout

i know this sound very insincere, but does ichimoku cloud repaint? I am doing some backtesting and realize the results to be quite satisfying.

no...it does not repaint...it is one of the most serious indicators in metatrader...

Hi all,

I think i've got all majors, except for JPY, up and running, but the only one I see potentially having an entry is AUDUSD. Using the 8/24/48 settings, does this look right?

Also getting back to the JPY charts, how do I somehow expand the number of bars displayed on the 2m chart? For some reason I can only seem to get 49 bars and when I try applying the cloud indicators, they're all messed up.

Look forward to hearing from someone

I have entered a long on the Au/Us based on the image. is this correct or should i have waited for the next candle to close above the cloud?

I am trying to setup ichi cloud, need some help from the experts...(zamanib)

1. link to all the indicators
2. how do I setup 2M chart, as i can only see 1M chart in MT
3. any broker prefreance ?

Thanks to zamanib for this wonderful system

hats off

My baby rolling -- one of my of my Fan-client- trading buddy - came up with this -- he is a genius -- he test and test and test- my system -- the hard work pay off

So my aud/usd trade from last night was a winner. My trailing stop, stopped me out, but not before gaining 21pips. A larger trail would have allowed me to hit my initial sl but i'm very happy with 21.

Did anyone get in on any trades from the NY session today. It looked like there was some see-saw action but did anyone jump in? Or are there very few people looking to be active in this thread now?

Look forward to hearing from peeps

This is depends on your style of trading--

I used 8 24 48 -- on 15 pips rangebar

some uses 4 12 24 on 5 or 10 pips rangebars

other used - 4 pips rangebars- with lower setting

NOTE THEY ALL WORKS -- YOU WILL NOT WIN ALL BUT MOST

Hello all.

I wanted to thank zamanib for the energy he's (she's?) put into this thread.

A while ago I mentioned CCI here and had some questions. It's a funny thing to be posting again on the thread because last week I took the very last ichi lines off my trading charts. I seemed to be always overrulling them.

I'm going to insert here my response to an IM that referred to the earlier CCI message. If anyone finds even a part of an approach that might apply to their trading, that's great.

I'm definitely NOT saying that this is better than Ichi ... just suited me better.

I'd point out the entry and exit method especially:

----------

I know the CCI works on any timeframe and since I've been devoting much too much of my life to trading gold and the DOW futures on the 5-minute charts, I've stopped daytrading entirely and moved to swing trading on the daily.

Seems to be bullet-proof to me. Here's the scheme:

WEEKLY CCI 14 is above -100 and rising. Even better when it's crossing +100 and still rising. [If you watch the weekly (or higher time frame for your trading) chart, you'll see that in a rising market, CCI14 will cross above +100 and price will/can/may continue to rise until that CCI14 crosses the +100 to the downside. A good exit if you're still in the trade.]

Daily has had a first cross of zero line - on the 50 CCI... yes, the 50. Tells us the TREND has changed.

The next CCI(14) zero line reject (Woodie's first setup) is almost always a winner and I'll take the next couple too if the trend stays in place.

Entry and Exit:

Key to this entire system is the entry method: I enter on a takeout of yesterday's [u]low[u] in a rising CCI 14 setup where CCI(50) has just crossed below zero and the CCI (14) is rising in a short-term pullback.

I'll keep an open order in the market to sell at the prior day's low minus a few ticks. Every day I move that order up to the previous day's low.

At some point the CCI14 will turn back down as the price comes back down into line with the new CCI(50) trend.

The market pulls me into the trade as price crosses below yesterday's low. (I love that since I don't have to guess about where to enter.)

At that point the exit from the short position is simple: follow price with an exit above the prior day's high. Again, there's no guessing about what the exit should be - the market takes you out.

I'm using this on all the currency futures. Don't know how it would work on FX but I'm sure there's a way to set a "day" length to place entry and exit orders.

Happy trading !

I'm a little late on this one but what do you guys think about taking a short here on aud/usd daily, hoping to take it down to the Sept/Oct lows in the .9500 to .9400 range? Stop loss will be trailed just above the kijun.

We've got a break of medium thick cloud, a tenkan/kijun bear cross inside the cloud suggesting medium strength, and a chikou cross below the price line suggesting strength although its currently sort of pointing up.

My concerns are the kijun is pointing side ways, and we just had a bullish cross of span A/span B, as well as a narrow cloud window above. Should I go ahead and short now or try to get a fib retracement and retest/hopeful rejection of the cloud before shorting?

Thanks.http://www.forexfactory.com/[IMG...com/kdoh2h.png[/IMG]

Thanks for your help and time

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there's opportunity to enter or add to you position when price has passed through the cloud, retested back into the cloud then continued on it's way, back out of the cloud in the same direction OR is this something we should stay away from? I've added a USD/CHF example.

Thanks,

FkF

There are those who say that's the entry point.

They say the cloud edge is a natural place to find support or resistance, that one should expect to see that happen and should only enter after the pullback and retest of the cloud boundary.

Here's a version with Renko bars....

my good morning trade on GU

Very happy to see some people piping-- keep it up be patients and wait for the right setup it will come to you-- will win most not all.
