Hello,
The Ichimoku indicator is available for free in ThinkorSwim platform. ThinkorSwim is a very good platform that offers everythings for Stocks, Futures, and Forex. They match any brokerage fees out there so they are cheap too. Is is the best platform for stocks that is available in my opinion.

Hello,
No problem. The default settings in ThinkorSwim not correct. If you need help setting them, let us know.

Hi There, Thank you for that. I am not a member of ThinkorSwim . I am trading on IG markets at the moment. I am somewhat confused as to the Ichimoku having read about it . However I am sure that it is good from what is said about it. I could do with seeing it work simply and would appreciate your guidance as to which of its priinciples is the best way to do well with it as a start, that is {with the highest probability of success}? I have been trying to trade the breakout of the cloud to the high side as a Bull but have got into a loss at the moment as I bought with a candlestick as the close exceeded the High of the cloud although the full candlestick bar was a long one with most below the cloud, it continued upwards for a while then fell and I was too slow getting out . Now the price has dropped back into the cloud and I do not know what to do . It is an ASX code (AOE) australian company , Inbig charts .com for example it can be seen with the setting AU:aoe. Arrow Energy . I feel that the company is excellent, I have just bought it at the wrong time and I do not wish to compound the mistake by selling unless it is the best thing to do. I will appreciate your guidance whatever it is . Thanks sincerely Rattler  |

1. don't just look for a cloud breakout or use just "part" of ichimoku for a signal.....the whole thing must be used.
anyway
using stockcharts.com i am limited as to what i can view
anyways this AOE is in a bearish market on the daily and weekly.
i don't know what it looks like on the monthly....
no time to be buying that's for sure.

Thanks hardyfostor.
Your comments are appreciated.
I must say that my experience with AOE and the breakout of the Kumo Cloud to the high side trapped me, obviously one needs more that That one indicator of Ichimoku to have a chance.I am very new to this system, so any advice is very welcome.May I therefore ask relative to the Chikou Span does the trend of that line although 26 period behind give a reliable signal as to the direction of the movement in the Price for tomorrow on say a daily chart ?
Thanks .sincerely Rattler

Hi Rattler,
Have you had a chance to read the Ichimoku Wikki? Or download the Ichimoku Webinar?

Hello,
That is not a rude or smart question. That is a question everyone should ask.
I have been trading for over 12+ years now.

Hi Rattler,
That is a good number of years! Do you still use Andrew's Pitchfork and RSI?

ok,
i was asking rattler, but for both to give an answer is fine as well.
the chinkouspan isn't a 26 period line (like a 26 period moving average)
it's just placed 26 periods behind the current candle.
it's a line chart. if you know how to use a line chart, then you should also utilize the chinkouspan like that to know if closing prices are rising or falling or going sideways.
i can give you more info if you want

Hi sunman4008.
Yes I still use RSI and Andrews pitchforks
When you have I look forward to your reply to my earlier questions particularly about the % probability of the accuracy of the Ichimoku system in full and in parts.
Thank you sincerely
Rattler

Hello, Sorry,,I overlooked that part. I use different strategies for different situations. In each strategy, I use all the Ichimoku indicators. In regards to the probabilities, I never have recorded the %. Every quarter I ended up positive which is all I look for. I spend my time analyzing the various markets since I play all markets along with analyzing any losses compared to wins. You can track my trades through the blog at www.blog.kumotrader.com. -Manesh |
