Hello Chris,

what time periods could the ichimoku be used on?

[SecondSkies]

@classicallyliberal

Good question - I generally recommend the 1h, 4h and daily but can be done on 30m once you get good with it.

Hope this helps

@SecondSkies Hey Chris, I was wondering how to get a template similar to your set up; after looking online, all I am able to find is very detailed over dramatic forms of your simplified version. Maybe a .tpl you have? Or do you have your own professional trading template set up that I'm not able to attain? I use MT4 but would be willing to move to MT5 to have your layout, thanks Chris

@ChangedByTheVoice

Good question - I actually do not use MT4 for my charting so that is why its hard to get my template. I use Intellicharts for my charting so they will always look different. Hence, I do not have a tpl for MT4 or MT5.

Sorry I could not help any further.

As always, good luck trading - Chris Capre

@TickleMehNancy I can understand your apprehension in believing this but I am going to disagree here as our funds' track records + many of my former students who are only trading ichimoku are clocking in with similar statistics so it can be done, has been done & will continue to be done. Generally western or european traders have lower accuracy levels but in asia,

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and always enjoy a dialogue on this

@CurrencyWolf It is too good to be true that is why. No indicator will give you an 80% success rate alone...maybe in hindsight but trading based on indicators is a novice mistake.

@vincentalderman

Hello Vincent, I would suggest starting w/the book, 'Trading the Global Currency Markets' (cornelius luca). That would be a good start. If you also sign up for my newsletter, you'll get my eBook for free which will also talk about getting an edge in trading.  From there, you can also email me info@2ndskies.com and I'll give you another one of my eBooks for free 'Striking Gold in Your Trading' which will give you a good base and perspective.

Hope this helps - Chris Capre

Your welcome. Make sure to check out all the videos and Ichimoku articles on the site as they will definitely help you understand how to use this method further.

@SecondSkies  Yes it does Chris, thanks for your responses.

Hello again Jon,

Unless you have it tailored for a specific proprietary method, I would use the exact same settings that are standard for them (12 for momentum and 14 for ATR).

I only tailor indicator settings when working with modeled proprietary methods.

Hope this Helps,

Chris Capre
