Waiting for a cross of the support line.

Confluence of HD lines. A good entry sign would be the cross of Tenkan and Kijun.

Too late on this one. The move has already started across Kijun. It was not a good entry anyway because of the spread too high (14 pips).

Another example: 
- Hidden divergence with two indicators
- Retracement at the 76.4 fib level
- Cross of Tenkan and Kijun
- Cross of trendline
This is the second HD in a row (see post #527) on a steady down trend.

Although we get many favourable signs here for an entry, there seems to be some kind of hesitation starting with a long wick on the trigger candle (circle). I will pass on this one.

On this Friday afternoon, I like to look at smaller TF. I don't trade them usually because they show more noise. In this case, the pattern is clear and all went right: 
I also look for a direct divergence at a smaller timeframe that adds up to the confluence signs. If the risk is too high, I don't enter. When price reaches half the risk, I bring my stop level to breakeven. I get stopped out more often, but I think it is a better way of protecting my capital.
- A start of a trend, in this case downwards
- Hidden divergence with 2 different indicators
- Retracement at a major or minor Fib level, in this case 50
- Cross of the Tenkan and Kijun Ichimoku lines
- Cross of a trendline
- Engulfing candle. In this case, the down wick looks greater than 25% of the whole candle. The ideal engulfing should have its close near high/low.

Too late on this one too. It doesn't always work, but lots of them do. I wish I could backtest divergence easily.

Here is an opportunity. Waiting for price to cross the trendline. I won't take it if it ever happens because of the 10 pip spread my broker offers me...

Here is one I took. I hesitated at first because of the 6 pip spread and a 10 pip risk. Looks good so far.

Here is a wrapup for the week on the 4hr timeframe. There has been some good opportunities (12) among the 28 pairs that I am following, plus gold and silver. There was barely any opportunity the week before on 4HR but I didn't check lower timeframes. Most of this week's trades were profitable considering RR 1:1, a few are still opened with some loss. You can judge by yourself with the images below.
The number of pips to be made depends on the money management. All suggestions welcome.

Awaiting another opportunity for price to cross Tenkan-sen downwards and get out of the cloud.
