Lbtrader, I am definitely well aware of all the aspects of the ichimoku and how they are used. I just do not see the reason of waiting for something deemed high probability set-up, when there are always pips to be made with the main trend. Think ...

Ichimoku forever

Hello lbtrader, You may be right about my timing, but when you enter isn't everything. What the trend is, and what price you enter with the trend at is probably more important. There are a lot of times when my timing is off, but I pick my ...

I know no body here trades quite the way I do, but just in case there's someone who does not want to sit around their computer all day: Following up here with another 3-hour chart. Set an order at recent Kijun-sen flat lines and flat Kumo lines in ...

Ichimoku forever

Hi scavenger, I'm not sure how vic trades as I have my own ways of Ichimoku (as everyone should), but I find that on lower timeframes, there is more noise, and that I have to sit around my computer all day: boring. I like to use the daily ...

Long E/U Bias — Just wanted to explain my long E/U bias. Chart #1 - Daily Chikou span above price in the past (Cyan line) Green Kumo Looks like Tenkan-sen (blue) is about to cross below Kijun-sen (red), which is usually a short sign; HOWEVER, ...

Ichimoku forever

Hi oman, Good question. Not really too much logic behind my settings other than they come as the default settings with my broker (Oanda). Considering I use ichimoku on daily mostly, the 7 seemed good enough to keep, as 7 makes a week. Honestly, ...

Hi Andy — Hello Andy, College has been good, thanks for asking; I am taking the slow and steady path, enjoying life while I am young. I've been on several backpacking and rock climbing adventures, as this is truly my passion. College-wise, I'm ...

Ichimoku forever

Hi ichidakiller, Thanks for the welcome back; glad my time was of good use to some. Primarily, I use the Ichimoku on the Daily time frame. It is the only indicator I use. Trust me when I tell you I have tried a lot; it works best for me. Everyone is ...

Glad to See This Thread — Hello everyone, I am back from a loooong absence at Forex Factory. I occasionally check back every so often to see if there is any added value and was glad to see more interest in the Ichimoku. I started a thread on ...

Ichimoku forever

I'm down 2% in negative carry, but up 8% in pips (since June 18). But this is a good point that people should know.

I Bought the Yuan, Why You Should, Too — I bought the Chinese Yuan against the dollar; you should, too. image Here's why: As everyone SHOULD know, China is and will be growing tremendously. Imagine all countries are eating one big pie. As ...

Chinese yuan (USD/CNY)

Everyone follows their own path. I can keep telling you, you're wrong, but what's the point in that? Let me just tell you that I have been trading over three years and used to trade only off my chart the first two. My latest year has been the most ...

It's clear that my original post made no impact here so I'm agreeing to disagree and will most likely start my own thread. Best of luck to all, Kevin

This is a conspiracy theory gone wrong. First of all, we cannot compare stocks and forex. Companies consist of thousands of people while countries have billions. It's a lot harder to influence billions than thousands. Second, according to you, ...

IMO, If you see market movement, you should be able to explain it. Just because you see the chart moving down, it means nothing by itself. It could be a multitude of reasons, but your job should be to find the one reason that makes the most sense, ...

LOL, I may be damned, my friend. In all seriousness though, summer time is a good time for the USA. Summer time is a REALLY good time for the USA when the dollar = crap. I have seen a ridiculous amount of foreigners traveling here for vacation, and ...

Hey guys, I see a lot of posts here, but not one touches on the fundamental side to the graph we are seeing. With due respect to all, just because YOUR line is there, and price reacted to it IN YOUR MIND, does not mean anything to anyone else, at ...

So Long, Farewell — Hello everyone, Just letting you guys know I'm going on a backpacking expedition for a month, so will not be commenting or trading during this time. See you all mid-June! For fun, I put in a trade short, because I believe ...

You asked for MY thoughts and I gave them to you. As long as you realize that MA's are not set in stone, but set in sand, you're alright in my book. The long-term moving average or DRT's Longest Bar in distribution, or any other ...
