It al depends on which time frame you use for the entry. If you use the 5M for entry when it cleared the cloud and you look at the 15 or H1 or H4 or D1 you may find that you are still in the cloud in these time frames. The only time they all will ...

I cannot comment on the use of daily pivot points published on websites as I do not use them but if you refer to the highs and lows of the Chikou, then yes. I use the 5M as the timeframe to do my attacks from but I keep an eye on all the timeframes. ...

I added the green lines manually from the previous flats of the chikou cloud. The red line was also manually added to show a possible entry point. ( The properties of the lines can be changed or deleted by double clicking on the line and then select ...

When you have a Price S/R line cross, the price will go for the next target(S/R line) If the target is crossed it will try the next target. If the target cannot be crossed price will go back and retest the previous S/R line. If the previous S/R line ...

The very same results can be achieved by using SMA's instead of Ichi(Post 13390) BUT with Ichi it is so much easier to decide. The sudden movement of the Tenkan and Kijun and the cloud break will give you a direct indication of action to be taken. ...

If you do not want to use the Kijun You can always use the Ichi cloud for directions in combination with the future chikou or 1SMA cloud. As soon as you have an exit from an Ichi cloud you start to look for trading opportunities in a lower time ...

The second scenario: You are on the higher timeframe in this case a 15 M. Everything in the chart points to a down trend and there was a retrace the last couple of bars. Now you go to the lower timeframe - 1M in this case and wait for the price to ...

General rule: To enter(long) price above cloud and CCI(200) > 50 but it al depends on which timeframe you are on. OK I am going to give two scenarios. The first one is where you take a time frame eg. 1M and when the conditions are met you enter. See ...

The two trades on the 15M chart ( url ) marked in green on the H1 chart. My target should have been the level at A and not where my exit was at the bottom green line. When it broke out at A the next targets at the flats at B Be careful at news times. ...

AUDUSD 5M When the first kijun-20 SMA cross at A did not convincingly broke the CCI200 level of -50 I waited and with the cross at B it broke the 50 level of the CCI200 Now effectively a Kijun rebound from the 200SMA. Waited for the retrace to break ...

It all depends on the situation. When you have a long flat Kijun and 200SMA, I go for a direct cloud break and also when I go for Kijun - 200 SMA bounce. When there is a more vertical cross of the two lines - go for the lower timeframe and enter ...

I have three trades an that image (The entry and exit points when you highlight and drag the transaction in your account history onto the chart while keeping the left button down - blue for a buy -red for sell and orange for exit and a connecting ...

OK now two more trades - EURUSD and GBPUSD adding 25 and 56 pips I used the 5M charts and from them it was clear that we had a Kijun-200SMA cross. I waited on the 1M charts and when I had a bounce down from them I entered. Target on the GBPUSD was ...

Yes the Magenta line is the KS line. I look for an opportunity to enter once I have a break of the two lines. Not trade with every cross. Sometimes it crosses for only a little and then recross to act as a bounce. KS is an essential part of Ichi and ...

At the time of the break I was busy with the break in the 15M GBPUSD. I only noticed later and then waited for the right time to enter.

EURUSD 5M Sometimes you loose -this time 30 pips. Stop loss at the previous high but it went the spread higher. I could have had a larger stop loss but hey - cannot risk more than that.

USDJPY 5 M And another one bites the dust - this time for 18 pips.

15M GBPUSD It is working on the 15M as well. Kijun bounce from the 200SMA Entered two trades in and out(at same time) for 29 and 15 pips Edit: In retrospect - Out way to early - should have had a look at the 1HR chart for the resistance level at ...

Yes I only trade after a bounce or after a cross. But once you see a high peak or a low trough on the 5m that you suspect cannot go any futher you can switch to the 1m chart and then trade with the 1m until its time for the 5m to take over.

Yes I keep an eye on all the higher timeframes but the main one is still the 5m chart. I posted the template at url Add the ichi chart(it is not included in the template) and change all the colours of the ichi chart except the kijun no "none" and ...
