Hello Tommy_C and wellcome to this thread, I'm sure you will find quite a large community of trend traders here. good call on your trade (call it a weak TS/KS or bearish kumo breakout doesn't matter) , but my question is why did you exit where you ...

I suppose you can consider this as a countertrend play on higher TF, but the 5 and 15 would be OK for the purposes of a scalp. it so happened that the move was much more pronounced than a simple coutertrend as is often the case. once you are ...

EJ long — again this is a good entry as the conditions reversed with the support on 5M, 15M, and 30M.

EJ scalp — Hi, welcome anti, and I hope that you read at least once the ichimokuwiki document. your entry is quite valid, as it shows a strong TS/KS bearish cross as per vic's rules. but you must be careful on 1M TF, the conditions must be in ...

Thanks — Thanks mate, coming from someone who has been much longer than I have in forex means a great deal. I use all ticks. that is unfortunate to hear ichi, I was under the impression that you were doing quite well. perhaps if you share your ...

Hey vic thanks for the good words and it is quite encouraging to see that a few of the new comers are really taking the time to learn from the start and not rushing things and burning important steps in the learnin curve. Good work Zai and Dejan and ...

yeah, it takes around 15 seconds/bar on 32 and 95 sec/bar on 31. so you choose which is it that suits you or probably slow it down if you are waiting for a signal to trigger and speed it up when it's choppy and boring.

true, but in case of GJ I had to close early because of the pinbar that hit the kumo and yesterday's high then reversed.

SL — no I used KS for this one because it is not just starting move, this is already established move and if I was in from the start I would be adding to my position at the level I went in. s*%$t, I missed the JPY crosses too, I had to go out ...

thanks Iskander, this was a strong TS/KS cross and I waited for a retrace to TS and chikou span to clear the price. I suppose I could have taken it one candle earlier.

good to hear, wish you all the best and happy 3eid to you too.

EU,GU,GJ — Hi Vic, I hope somebody caught these moves.

please read the definition of senkou span A and Senkou span B in the beginning of the ichimokuwiki document.

this is just an observation FXG, it happens so frequently that you might consider it as certain, but you will not find it in any book it means that the sentiment is changing from bullish to bearish or vice versa depending on where the senkou span ...

whenever you move your SL on the same TF of your entry, you can be certain you will be stopped out. try to use a reasonable SL on a higher TF.

huge spike — 1H KS or kumo would have saved you.

Ichimoku forever

looks like it will retrace to kumo on 1H and to TS on 30M. 1H, 4H, and Daily are bearish. I would take it on bounce off kumo on 1H but keeping in mind the strong resistance levels at 132.00, 131.90, and 131.82, so possibly partial TP at this zone.

EJ continued — thanks, and here's a continuation as it hit the descending TL with a pinbar formation(more impressive also on 4H), it is a countertrend to the TS/KS cross, took profit at the kumo +70.

Ichimoku forever

EJ — started as a countertrend play on 4H then added on as kumo breakout on 1H. total 121+47.

what is the matter with people and mathematics in this thread. I explain it in pips some people don't get it, I explain it in $ and still some people don't get it. I tell you what, let's drop this futile argument and let every one use ...
