Ichimoku forever

You shorted above the kumo? EURJPY: Daily neutral, price is in the kumo H4, neutral, price is in the kumo, H1: UP M30: UP M15 neutral I don't think that is a good time for a short.

Yes, but all the signals work together to create an overall signal. The method described here really only takes the strongest of signals, which means all have to line up: Ts/Ks crosses Price below the cloud for SELLs, price above the cloud for BUYs ...

Answer this, it's on the 1st 10 pages : What are the signals for entering a trade LONG? What are the signals for entering a trade SHORT? And I guess it depends whether you are following signals or bounces off clouds I think most wait for a ...

Nice +1 Finally some normal movement +pips on USDCHF, +pips on USDCAD, looking like reclaiming some on USDJPY.

Out of interest, do any of you usually have trades open at the start of NY? The price went pretty wild for 90mins or so on all pairs.

GJ will retrace for a 30min short? EG possible 30min LONG EU possible 30min LONG ?

That's fine, I was just making the point that the stop had to be somewhere. When do you decide it's time to close the trade, is it 10 pips past the kumo, 20 pips past the kumo. What if it went 60 pips past the kumo but you had 30mins left before ...

Interesting trendline on the UJ image

No, the stop above the 1hr UJ kumo - stopped out at -70. You mentioned wait for the close but traders would have to be very brave to see price go 15 pips above the kumo and still hold onto the trade.

The price went 15pips above the kumo. I think most would be pretty brave to hold onto a trade like that . Most put the stop 10pips above the kumo don't they? This was also above the 4hr Ks. I may re-enter UJ but I think the stop out was correct.

Do we still think it's a good idea to have open trades at start of NY?! Could go either way.

2 days to make up some pips USDJPY -70 (1hr trade) AUDUSD -40 (5min trade) UChf (3trades) 0pips overall EURGBP +40 I'm going to cut out the pairs I know nothing about including all Chf, AUD, USDCAD and just stick with: USDJPY, GBPUSD, EURJPY, ...

Yep, stopped out on UJ now. Shame...not going well today.

It was a suggestion that the trade should be moved to breakeven on the JPY pairs after 20 pips when going for 50pips targets - what do you suggest on some of the lower ADR pairs like USDCHF...10pips? Seems a bit close.

The yanks woke up and ripped the market to bits. I am starting to distrust the shorter timeframe signals at market open periods. Think I'm just gonna trade 1hr from now on.

Oh, I didn't take that...I thought the chinkou was right in the middle of the price.

AUDUSD What signal were you taking? I was on a BUY on the M5 and ended up at -50pips stopped out. image

For the 5min trades and smaller timeframes, does anyone move their stop along with kumo even if the trade is not yet in profit? eg if you entered at the circle, you could trail the stop lower and lower and then lose less if the trade turns the other ...
