I have a few charts up, most of the USD pairs plus GBP plus JPY. Personally, if I could just concentrate on one or two I find that suits my trading style better, GBPUSD or one of the JPY pairs. But when you're trading longer TFs only, you can be a ...

I actively trade the London session. However, I agree it can be a lot more volatile. 1 reason, I'm trying to trade the longer timeframes. TBH, I'm trying to move a little more to the commodities (Oil, gold) and indices (FTSE, SP500) as I already ...

You can if you want, I know a few people that do that but it is not necessary. I would set up 2 templates if I were you, 1 for ichi and 1 with the standard western technical MAs 20,50,100,200 (on Daily charts) but if you are just starting out having ...

I think it will be fine. The mismatch is a mismatch between timeframes. kinonen is correct but you will need to download M1 through to your cvhosen timeframe to retest (H1). If your entry and SL were all on the H1 timeframe, then the pip TP and SL ...

you will still get an occasional error. My point was that the errors are minimal and will only cause a few ticks worth of inconsistency on each trade. To go and backtest through months worth of data will take time.

I wouldn't worry about it, if there are a massive amount of mismatched errors compared to the data you used then maybe there is a problem but in every backtest I have every used using the strategy tester there are some chart errors. If you have been ...

It is ummatched price data from different time frames. You cannot do much about it as it is old data from the history logs...a few ticks out here and there.

Gold is quite overextended at the moment. Many people believe it will come crashing down...maybe not now...maybe next year but I plan to be there for that It is closely linked to the dollar index (inversely)

yeah, don't worry, I'm just hunting around at the moment

Apart from the move in October, there are a few ranging periods in oil, which make it tricky to deal with although some of these periods would be successful if the trade was taken on kumo exit. The 2 trade approach would be good as well, closing one ...

I know some of you trade gold but does anyone here trade Oil with Ichimoku? I have to say I think the shorter timeframes do not work well with ichi for this commodity-maybe the longer TFs only. The Ts/Ks cross is particularly susceptible to fake ...

Hi lb What signals did you use for the short? I ask because Gold is obviously in a long run up... I'm looking for 1 pair to trade by itself using a combination of CSTL breaks and the usual ichi signals. The rest I am looking to trade long term on ...

Check with some of the long term traders like washo, etc. but I think to trade bounces you should trade the longer timeframes. I would trade the H4 and look for a candle pattern for this. I think if you are trading the H1 TF, then best to follow the ...

Despite the Sunday candle, the chart you originally put up was a D1 chart though wasn't it? So, you were trading a D1 breakout... I'm guessing you may have changed it to a 1hr trade a long the way while we were discussing whose chart was wrong or ...

Ichimoku forever

What signal were you trading? I ask because before you had a D1 chart up before and now you are showing the h1 and h4 charts. I always put my SL under the current kumo. However, once the trade is in profit, you should consider moving your SL to ...

2300 - then you have 1hr's worth of Sunday candle don't you?

Ichimoku forever

I just find it strange because I don't have a Sunday candle at all on my charts. The Monday candle starts at 0000GMT. What time do your brokers open?

Not over yet, the EU still has to beat that 1.5 region but the price is looking good for the moment. My NU trade got stopped out at break even and I haven't re-entered. I have left the AU one running though.

For those financial minded... what are ACB purchases? (is it Asian central bank?) what does it mean when a news item says a pair is well bid? I assumed it meant there were sellers but they always seem to talk about it in conjunction with increasing ...

Ichimoku forever

Principle is the same It's on the shortlist of things to go long on if it breaks on D1, but you could trade it intraday couldn't you based on H4 and H1? I think it's a GMT thing.
