Not really, I'm just looking for a R:R of at least 1:1 preferably more but since we let Ichi tell us where to exit by trailing the Ks I'm only looking for whether a possible retrace will occur or not. That GU trade looks to be getting pretty close ...

GBPUSD When you took the 5min trade, was the 15min price in the cloud and 15min chikou above the price span? Looks like it on my charts but it's close...was it 15:30ish? Anyway my take on it is that when I'm trading the shorter timeframes, I look to ...

Which pairs? Stick some charts up... (or a link to previous posts with charts?). It's not confirmation on all timeframes so much as looking for the risk of retraces I think. When pairs have made big moves down, they simply have to retrace at some ...

GU has a 5min SELL signal and it has bounced right off the 1hr Ks. Any thoughts? Still looks very bearish.

The 15min is above the cloud so be careful but price looks to be hanging around the 1hr Ks for the moment. I'm waiting for a 30min or hr Ts/Ks cross.

Just watch out for Fridays with major news reports: NFP interest rates, etc. last Friday of month (bank profit taking for monthly targets) Quadruple witching Fridays. Most Fridays are not that erratic, some traders close out trades for the weekend ...

Are you saying the GU is looking to go long? Hmm - my issue with the weekly charts is that there are many more fundamental factors at play. I suppose you could also look at that chart and say that the price hit resistance on the top of the cloud and ...

There is nothing wrong with an indicator that aids in your Ichimoku decisions - that is what the existing Monitor and Signal indicators are about. I think people should be encouraged to look at another indicator if they want to but only once they ...

Most likely, if the indicator has a function that deletes everything on the chart then it will delete all your trendlines as well. The indicator (it might only be 1 of them, or they might all be doing the same thing) needs to be recoded to only ...

Do you have an indicator loaded on the same chart?

That's really interesting, I have just pulled up some charts on 5min and 15min and drawn where the 4hr and 1hr Ks are on each and I can see the high probability trades in each of these. Thanks for your post - I will definitely keep an eye on ...

Ok, as an example, let's use the USDJPY, which just had a strong 15min SELL signal. However, the KS on the 1 hour is far away. To me, it would scare me off as the 1hr kumo is flat and a long distance away from the Ts & the price but price may have ...

Just a quick question... When you entered these 5min trades, where was the Ks on the higher timeframes? I find this the hardest part of getting my trades right on the 5 and 15min charts due to the noise.

Well, use what your comfortable with. I don't think it will make too much difference as they should be showing similar, albeit a few pips difference, in the actual price. But, if you feel happier with GMT, then get a GMT broker, there are plenty.

Well, I made some great long term trades this week almost all completely wiped out by 1 GBPJPY trade and a 5min GBPUSD trade. The GBPJPY trade could have been avoidedc if I had known about the news the next day. The GBPUSD was a short term trade on ...

You don't have to work from GMT, you will get pretty similar information just perhaps some slightly different candle formations but it's marginal.

lol - have a good weekend! The reason I asked is these are some of the trickiest trades...valid crosses but the higher TFs should a lot of room be retraces. It's also a problem when only trading the higher timeframes because you can get crosses when ...

EG 30min has an upward cross but the higher timeframe kumos are flat - any thoughts?
