    Hi arco,

    Mate, few questions here if you dont mind sharing with us here about, where and what sources you use for broadening your knowledge on Ichimoku.

    Also, do you often use it in your trading and if so, does it bare accuracy more often than not? or compared to western technicals?

    Last info or favourites that you find exceptional sources would be greatly appreciated.

    Drillfix, http://www.kumotrader.com/ichimoku_wiki claims to be "The definitive reference to the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo charting system". It provides a very detailed and clear explanation of the Ichimoku system including the five trading strategies.

    I have been backtesting these five strategies against stocks and indices over 10 - 20 years of historical data. Initial results are disappointing.

    Phaedrus thanks for the link you posted, although sorry to hear the back testing results from that data you had has brought disappointment.

    could meet some resistance from the daily kumo tonight. lower senkou span currently at about 1097.

    Hi Phaedrus
    I think its hard to mechanically back-test Ichimoku. It definitely needs the human touch IMHO

    e.g. In this trade below a human would really need to consider where to enter the short, and there are several considerations for going short. e.g. One gained $2 another about $1.

    Ichimoku - one glance cloud chart, which is something a computer cant do (yet).

    we hit the (daily) cloud for our first serious resistance but the flatline top of the cloud at 1127 is acting as a powerful attractor

    on the hourly although we've seen the tenkan cross its only a weak sell signal above the cloud so we're still likely to see cloud support

    some easy points already for those game to long
    i get good entries from ichimoku but its poor at exiting a trade without giving large chunks back.

    40 odd points since I re-opened this thread with a bullish question and then confirmation
    overnight we had to wait for consolidation of the gains as shown by chiku (black) steadily drawing closer to price and then finding early support from it
    the only warning would be divergence on the RSI (not shown) and some slowing of momentum although that picked up at the end of the(ir) day.

    There's no excellent source of info. Phaedrus mentioned one which is basic stuff, and there are no really good books on the subject as yet. After studying the method for around 8 years I could probably write a book but I dont have the time or inclination to tackle the job.

    The best way to learn is to trawl through loads of charts and find the subtle nuances of the system. Only then will you understand it fully
