Ichimoku Trading

[Nelsy-Boy]

Hi All. I would be interested to chat with anyone using the Ichimoku indicator as part of their strategy or maybe that is the only indicator used. I am currently using it's standard setting in combination with an RSI 5 with some mixed results which I have put down to my impatience and too short a stop. Still, practice makes (nearly always) perfect hopefully!

I like Ichimoku on its own & also combined with Bollinger Bands ( great to show starts of trends)

The link below relates to an Ichimoku only trading thread by one "Rockypoint"

Worth a read if serious about this style.

Itchimoku still goes well -not every trade wins but enough to keep dry bread and water at bay.

I've forgotten what it is you were using as a trigger for entry?

Thanks, but without reading the whole thread is the trigger the Awesome zero crossover (if everything is lined up)?

For those interested we did a video on this recently

No- I use the price and cloud plus normal s/r. The AO could be disregarded. Read Rockypoints posts only to get up to speed -if interested. Good luck

Thanks Jim.

Rockypoint ( it's his thread) simplifies matters for the day trader. Read Rockypoints posts to get you up to speed -if interested. Good luck.

An even simpler approach from a real trader - price action only.
