Absolutely, the problem is to control the greed factor, because there is no exit signal yet unless you already have a fixed profit target.

thanks wolfan, that signal seems too risky crossing fom a flat top kumo, I'd wait for a pullback. edit: well what'u know, if you went in you'd be already +20, but the 15M crossing is almost there

nice fibo — that's a good analysis golfer but I think the down move can be exploited first: on the daily there is a weak bearish TS/KS cross on 4H the candles hit the lower edge of the kumo on 1H the candles stalled and the heikin ashi is ...

Good entry — that would be an good short entry goodspeed, the TS/KS cross occurred below the cloud, the chikou span is below the price 26 bars in the past, and if you look at the 15M it is still in the cloud so you should wait till it clears ...

excellent work — excellent work Wolfan71. better than my primitive multiTF indicators on the same chart, this clears the chart for only one set of indicators.

trailing stop sucks — I am trying to find the best trailing stop that will keep me in the trend, I tried 20 on GJ and got stopped out, then upped it to 30 and again got stopped out. I understand each pair has its range of volatility but it ...

exit signals — thanks vic, I don't mean to milk every pip out of it, but 30 pips went down the drain. I used the RSI cross below 0 for exit and if I waited for the TS/KS cross that would have been another 20 pips lost. any other thoughts?

Well done — I only caught +62, could have had +92 on the top but there was no exit signal

Nice Fibo confluence — this is a nice example of confluence of several support or resistance lines before a change in direction. rally from A to B retraced to C confluence of 50% fib and Kijun-sen rally from C to D (resistance @ 4H Tenkan) ...

thanks — I got out @-11 (post above re-edited). should have trusted my instinct and the Heikin Ashi. now it looks like it has been stopped by the 4H tenkan-sen.

I re-entered @154.34 when it pulled up to the lower line of the cloud (bit risky I know) was +25 initially (which I should have taken when it bounced off the Kijun-Sen) but now +1
Oh well, got out @-11. that "weak cross" below the cloud ...Ichimoku forever

Chgster here're my answers (1) what's that big thick orange line; this is the 4H Tenkan-Sen (2) did you shift the green chikou forward by 52 (e.g. 26 + 26) and if so, why? yes it is shifted, now it is a leading instead of lagging span (3) how did ...
