Trading with range bars ichimoku cloud & awesome oscillator

Hello all!

Hi rockypoint!

I want to thank you for your answer to my question, it has been usefull! I'm sorry but I wasn't able to reply sooner. I've been busy lately.

I am now watching your new charts and I wonder: how do you manage your entry points?

Best regards!

Hey Trader STK, pretty simple really just waiting for clean break of S/R.

Another pretty calm day especially in FX. 3 trades 1 small win in FX and 2 nice commodity wins.

Nice system, thanks!



Bailed out when I saw a rapid move, countertrend trade...

Hi all!

This is an image of my first completed trade using Ichimoku.



My entry signals were the blue dots:

- Conversion line crosses above base line;
- Span-A crosses above span-B;
- Chikou was in the right direction.

My secondary signal was the yellow dot:

- The chikou crosses above the cloud confirming the trend.

I've entered after the first candle that close's above the cloud and my exit was when the chikou crosses below, both, conversion line and base line.

I was able to exit before that major red candle. If on the other hand the prices continue rising I had a pending buy order on the resistance.

I've just started to use Ichimoku indicator about a week ago but I'm very impressed.

I wish you all a nice trading day!

3 trades today 2 FX and 1 Commodity, probably firs time I ever remember trading soy beans 2 days in a row.

Other than the sharp spike on the CAD theres not much happening either on FX or Futures.

The GBP came through for a couple of trades on the GBP/JPY, which is 1 of the most consistently volatile pairs. Usually has some opportunities, but also can be jumpy and hard to day trade.

Definitely one of my better trades this week. Thankful for that quick drop at 7:35am my time. But trusting in my levels. Meaning I was in at a little after 7:00am following the technical rules. Not much happened in either direction for 30 minutes. Good Trades RP! I will be glade when the Brexit deal is over.

Nice one Kthrapp, you are right GBP/JPY is volatile enough with out Brexit.

Truly odd day here in Rocky Point the sky is completely overcast and there is this wet stuff falling from the sky! 3years here this is the 5th time its rained.

Not a great trading day, generally kind of flat except for GBP and CAD. Some lightning fast moves on GBP I got in on GBP/CAD with a good entry but price took off
like Mr. Toads Wild Ride and getting out was hard gave back a fair amount of pips. Still nice profit, but when price moves that fast can be anxiety inducing.
Any way 3 trades 2 winners and a loser.

Great trades RP. I did not catch any of those today. Those Brexit polls and in this case today rumors of poll results are really impacting the PA. But only ten more days. I appreciate how you catch any pair and trade. Have to be in the moment with PA.

Kind of an eh day on FX, not much going on with futures either, 2 trades on AUD and @ on Gold.

Slow day again 2 small trades passed on a third 1 EUR/JPY which would've been a small winner.

I think summer trading is upon us. On a personal note, I've been practicing in SIM for over a year - this was my first live trade!

Congratulations Richt3 great start.

4 trades today 2 FX and 2 Futures. A lot of movement today but mostly too early for me.

Hello all

These are my latest completed trades. All losses, but I'm confindent in the others that are still open!







My closing strategy it's when the chikou crosses the conversion and base line in the opposite direction.

Best regards

I haven't had much time for trading lately, but I have some questions for you Rocky:

I feel I get significantly higher success with this method the more displays I use. Probably for two reasons: 1) better market overview because I can monitor more charts. 2) I become more selective of charts and it helps me to refrain from trading bad charts. (Overtrading is my biggest problem). So can you tell us about your setup an thoughts around what is most helpful?

Another problem I have is that I often get a retrace immediately after I enter, leaving me with a 5-10 pips in minus. How do you act in those situations, do you close or wait hoping for a bounce from the line that price broke?

Last question; it seems around 40-50% of your trades are futures, would that estimate be correct? (I'm thinking of starting trading futures as well, to further help me avoid so-so FX charts)
