Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Forex Strategy

Submit by MavenTrader 18/02/2012

Look at the red circle #1. As you notice in #1 it gives us a sell signal. All indicators say yes to sell so we do. We set a stop of about 20-30 pips and we wait. So after an hour or so we notice that our trade has broken its support. And down it goes staying within the uprights. It breaks through the small Ichimoku cloud which because this cloud is not very large its not really that exciting to us but then it breaks support again! and continues down. Until it hits a lower support line and comes back up to our Kinju-Sen line where in #2 it gives us a buy signal again to close our position and to open another trade if we want too.

We have closed our short (sell) position from #1 green/red circle and now open a long (buy) position at the #2 green circle because all indicators say yes. In this case because we are trading only on the Kinju-Sen line we would have taken a loss. We didn't know where to take our profit so we took a loss. This is okay its fine relax.

We have moved on to #3 green circle where we close our previous long position with a loss and open a new short position. Now before we move on I want to add something else. As you notice the Kinju-Sen lines goes horizontally and we lose some pips by closing our previous short once again and open a new long position. Here is one thing I want you to take a look at and test on your own.

Okay so take a look at the first close/open candle in #3. You will notice that the first candle gives us a close/open position but the second candle does not because not all indicators say yes. The Kinju-Sen line does not touch the next candle. This is good because the following candle means we can now close/open a new position (Like we have just done above) or in other cases add to our confirmation or to our position. Now take a look at how that candle confirms our new long (buy) position but the next candle does too? This is where a rule comes in.

• When closing/opening a trade we look to the next candle and if that candle is NOT touching the Kinju-Sen line then we can close/open a new trade on the second candle from our new position.

• If the first and second candle do touch then we must wait till the third or even the fourth candle to open/close a new trade.

• If we have waited on the third candle and it touches and still gives us a buy then we can add to our position.

Take a look at our new position #3 the second confirmation candle. As you can see the market moves up on our long position. It blows through the Ichimoku cloud and continues upward to #4 green circle. This is where the rule comes in again. It has been far more than 3-4 candles away and it doesn't confirm a close/short position but it confirms another buy position so we add to our long. It continues up to #5 red circle where it confirms a close/short position. We have now closed all our trades on this chart. We may have played #5 like we did in #3 or we may have played it even better.

To recap from #1-#5 we made a total of about 6 trades. The numbers are off on my chart but it is very close. Spread was not taken into consideration when doing those numbers. As well as the trades between the first confirmation in #3 to the next one in #3 and #4 was left out.

Bullish options trading strategies

Bullish Options Trading Strategies

[fa_icon icon=arrow-circle-o-right size=medium circle=yes background_color= color= id= inline= class= animation=] When you are bullish a stock . that means it is your opinion that the stock is going to go up in price. While you could simply buy the stock, it is often more expensive than using a bullish options trading strategy. You can have a lot more leverage. Translation: Get more potential reward with spending less money using options than you can by simply buying the stock. There are many options strategies to apply when you have a bullish sentiment.

One option strategy you can use, is to simply buy a call on the stock above where it is currently trading. If the stock trades higher and goes through the call strike, by more than you paid in premium, you will be profitable. You could also use a call vertical. A Call Vertical is when you buy a call at a lower strike, then you sell a call at a strike two or more higher. By doing this, you still get the advantage when the price goes through the strike but you decrease your cost by selling a further out call. Of course, the further out call will cap your gains at the strike you sold it, but this is a simple method to reduce the cost/risk whenever you buy a call vertical.

When and how you buy these different option strategies, and how you manage them is what we teach at Sheridan Mentoring every day. With our options education you can learn to take your sentiments, whether bullish or bearish, and know how you can use options and the leverage they afford to your best advantage.

Double cci and asctrend forex strategy

Double CCI and ASCTrend Forex Strategy

I willl show you next profitable trading method called Double CCI and ASCTrend Forex Strategy . Before I go in details there are some important rules that you should always remember. No matter what you are trading, what your strategy is, you have to follow these rules in order to make profit. In this trading method we will stick to the rules as well.

1. Do not use high leverage. Risk and money management are important part of trading. There are times it takes less than a minute for a currency pair to rally or dive 50+ pips. If you are on the wrong side of the market at that moment, it could wipe your account. Since high leverage brings high risks, such trades affect your emotions and therefore either you profit less or you close trades, which could bring lots of profit, early and take the loss.

2. Do not trade against the trend. Trend is always our best friend and we will be following its direction.

3. Follow the system. Stick to the trading method, do not make predictions, trust the charts and price action. People lose because they do not follow the rules. Whatever system, indicator, style you are using, if you break the rules and trade randomly I guarantee that you will lose your account.

Since MetaTrader is the most common program I am going to explain this system on this platform. The indicators provided here work on MetaTrader 4 platform. You have to copy indicators to “indicators” folder and template files to “templates” folder. For example:

Indicators go to “C:program filesmt4expertsindicators” folder and templates go to “C:program filesmt4templates”.

After you copy the necessary Double CCI and ASCTrend Forex Strategy files and run MetaTrader 4 . open EUR/USD, GBP/USD or any other major pair that you want to trade. Set chart time frame to 15M and apply the template. You will see a chart like this:

Don’t let the chart confuse you, in fact this system is very easy to use!

Double CCI and ASCTrend Forex Strategy buy and sell rules

Buy (long) when

Sema signal (green circle) and ASC signal (yellow arrow) appear.

Sell (short) when

Sema signal (red circle) and ASC signal (pink arrow) appear.

S/L and T/P:

Since we are on 15M charts, you can set your T/P and S/L to 25 pips.

I will show you another chart so that you can understand how it works:

Look at the marked areas 2-4: First we get sema signal (red circle) and a couple of bars later, we get ASC signal (pink arrow)l and we go short.

Ichimoku kinko hyo forex strategy

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Forex Strategy

The Ichimoku kinko Hyo indicator is designed of five lines called the tenkan-sen, kijun-sen, senkou span A, senkou span B and chickou span plus an area called kumo, it is the space between Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B. Ichimoku Kinko Hyo technical indicator is one of very powerful indicator and can bring can bring consistent results if used wisely. This indicator include in forex trend trading because it can predefined to characterize the market trend, support and resistance levels, and to generate clearly signals of buying and selling.

There are many ways to trade forex using Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. and here is one of the best forex trading strategy using Ichimoku chart pattern .

Forex Indicators set up:

1. Ichimoku (7,22,44) I don't know if there are better settings for this.

2. Stochastic Oscillator (Fast at 14,3)

3. MACD (2,10,4) or (3,15,5) I've found 2,10,4 is better imo

4. Fibonacci Retracement as well as other supports and resistances from other time charts.

Once all these are set we can now look at a chart. Starting from the first candle circled in yellow to the far left we notice that it is touching the red Kiju-Sen line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator. This line is going to be very important to us as well as the clouds. After we have confirmed that it has touched the Kinju-Sen line we look down at our other indicators to confirm our position. In this case it is showing us a strong sell signal because if you look down at the Fast Sto the signal line is below as well as for the MACD. This is how we confirm this short position.

1. Is the candle touching the Kinju-Sen? Yes/No

2. Is the Stochastic showing a sell signal? Yes/No

3. Is the MACD showing a sell signal? Yes/No

If all three indicators give us a yes then this is a confirmation to open a position. And If no to any then you do NOT have Confirmation! To maximize your profits, set up your chart not only for 1H time frame. But set them up for smaller or even larger time frames (Smaller time frames will help you decide the markets direction for a larger time framed chart as well as larger time frames will give you key hints as to the trend/direction of smaller time framed charts). As you can see I drew support and resistance lines from the 30min chart. Here is two scenarios of how this first trade could have gone down.

• When closing/opening a trade we look to the next candle and if that candle is NOT touching the Kinju-Sen line then we can close/open a new trade on the second candle from our new position.

• If the first and second candle do touch then we must wait till the third or even the fourth candle to open/close a new trade.

• If we have waited on the third candle and it touches and still gives us a buy then we can add to our position.

A total of 126 pips is not bad for three days of work. It was a modest play and this chart was a really great set up to display how this strategy works. Remember while you are trading and waiting on this 1 hour chart you can also be scalping lower timed charts of the same pair. This depends on your broker but if you have two accounts then you are golden. See more at: fxroot/content-11.html

Renko trading strategies and chart combinations

Renko Trading Strategies And Chart Combinations

You are looking at a renko trading chart and a bar chart combination for the same trading swing. The renko chart layout is very simplistic and the setups are often clearer to read than the bar chart setup, which is why they have been integrated into our trading method.

However, would you be more profitable by trading the renko charts or bar charts independently, or by trading them together as a combination?

But before I discuss that question and the chart combination further, I want to make some additional comments on our renko trading strategies:

When you look at the renko chart, you have no idea for whether it is a futures day trading chart, or a stock chart that would be used as timing in position trading

And I think that it is critical that our renko trading strategies can be used essentially the same way, regardless of what is being traded

Think of this further in terms of what you are trading

If you see that a video is about emini day trading, do you not watch it because you are a position trader or a trader that predominantly does short options trading strategies ?

That would be a mistake – these are all trading strategies videos, regardless of the specific focus

Without ever telling you what these 2 chart segments are, I could do the following video discussion:

The timing for a short call sell to start or complete a ratio short options spread

The timing for a long put buy to protect the long underlying in combination with the short call as a synthetic options short

The transition of a position chart going from buy to sell – along with the exit of the position and the start of a new position

The entry and management for a day trade

And regardless of what we were discussing – the trading method strategies would be best implemented using a renko chart and bar chart combination.

Renko Trading Strategies

Let’s start the trading charts discussion by looking at the renko chart only and considering the following questions:

Of the 4 yellow dots, which ones are renko base trade setups?

Of the renko base trade setups, which ones could actually be taken as trades?

Of the renko trades taken, how were they managed?

If you went short, would you still be short at the end of the swing, or would you be flat with a partial and a breakeven exit?

And would you understand, if I told you that I didn’t trade any of the yellow dots – but did go short, and was still short at the end of the chart?

Crude Oil Renko Chart Bar Chart Combination Day Trading

The underlying being traded is crude oil, with a renko chart 0.55 brick and .1 price envelope, along with a 3 minute bar chart.

Regarding these parameters, they have been working, but I also have a .5 renko brick chart up – and I would really like to find a good tick chart to use instead of the 3 minute.

Crude Oil Bar Chart

We may be using renko chart strategies for trade entry, but I always start with my bar chart to establish relevant prices and price action that are key to trading.

The crude oil day trade that was done, and the swing that we first looked at, goes from the yellow circle to the bottom yellow line:

Do you see how important knowing price is for this trade?

The price failure was the key to the entry – considering that this is a resistance to support shift line

The same price then shifts back to resistance – and it was the key to still being short at the bottom yellow line, when there was that renko chart price envelope reverse

And the bottom yellow line, which was left side support, was an excellent profit target – you can see the reaction when the line was tested

When you see the reaction at the top price and the bottom prices, do you really think that you can best trade without know price – I know that I certainly couldn’t

The 3 minute stays in sell mode for this entire swing, with yellow circle2 being an addon setup. But this actually wasn’t the way this ended up being traded – let’s go to the renko trading chart now.

Crude Oil Renko Chart

Here is the renko chart, and the crude oil day trade went from the yellow dot to the profit target just discussed – but it was exited at the yellow circle instead of held.

This yellow dot was not on the first chart – with the renko chart and bar chart combination, I could see the way the blue line was being tested as support

The entry came after the bar chart fast momentum hook and the break of the blue line

Partial target1 was the left blue brick, which was a double brick retrace low that resumed to the chart high

The trade was then held at the blue line resistance – regardless that there was a price envelope reverse

Partial target2 with the yellow line left-right double bottom

And the trade was exited at the yellow circle – as a result of the double bottom reaction and the price envelope reverse

After the reverse, there was never a renko buy setup and crude oil went back into sell – and a price test of the yellow-blue line:

Another renko chart crude oil day trade was taken at yellow dot2, timed with the bar chart and another fast momentum hook – with mex flow on both charts

You got a better sense of the price action and consolidation testing support on the bar chart – where I did the renko entry on the break of the line

The upper blue line was the initial risk for the trade – going above the consolidation high areas into the entry

Renko Chart Trading Strategy Scenario

Now, let’s discuss this chart as if it was a renko chart and position chart trading combination:

The position would be left side long and at the position chart pmd high-mex cross – calls would have been sold against the buy and to start a ratio call short

Additionally, a long put would have been bought because of the extreme, to give synthetic options short protection for the long position

The yellow dot synched with the position reverse – the buy would be exited and a short done

If there had been a reverse only without a sell setup – the buy would be exited and there would be short participation from the short call long put options combination

The sell swing went to double bottom support

The short calls could now be spread off into a ratio call short

Short puts could be sold against the long put to also have a ratio put short

The one difference, between day trading and position trading, would have been how the renko chart yellow circle would have been used:

The position trade would have been held instead of exited – but the short would also have protection at that point from the last options trade done, which would have been the call buy-put short options synthetic long

So, that ends this video – and do you see my point about this being a renko chart trading strategyvideo, instead of being a day trading, options trading, or position trading video?

Pro trader bot-forex robot review scam

Pro trader bot-forex robot review scam Pro Trader Bot Forex Robot Review. Scam?

So we have a new forex software here and it seems like a lot of people are emailing me about it already. Today I will be looking to review and provide all the details of the Pro Trader Bot .

How the little known thought experiment of a WW2 computer genius is quietly making a small circle of forex nerds richer than rock stars!

This is the tag line of the pro trader bot and I dont get it. Why are they talking about WW2 and what does this have to do with forex and trading, I think their tagline is a big time failure. I will not judge pro trader bot just because they are crappy salesmen though, I will look at the robot itself.

Just went through the entire pro trader bot page and I really dont know what to say. No live results, just a bunch of screen shots. If this is truly supposed to be a forex robot from the future then they would have some results.

I am really not impressed by the pro trader bot sales page. I will look to see if I can get my hands on a copy of the EA but at first glance I am not impressed with protraderbot in the least bit.

If you have any information about the forex pro trader bot then feel free to leave a comment below and we will add it to the review. I will also be looking to see if I can get a copy of the forex robot so that I can provide some results from the pro trader bot for you to see.

Profitable Forex Scalping Strategy `Forex Profit'

This profitable Forex scalping strategy is based on two kinds of technical indicators that show where you

should enter a trade and where you should exit. You can find them in any Metatrader 4 trading terminal,

Parabolic SAR and exponential moving average (EMA) with periods 10, 20, 50. The trade chart using the

`Forex Profit' trading strategy is shown on two pictures below.

Dark yellow - EMA with period 10 ( (10)), blue - (25), red - EMA (50). Parabolic SAR has

standard parameters. You should find a reliable Forex broker that provides the Metatrader 4 trading

platform to use this Forex scalping strategy.

Opening a Trade using the Forex Strategy `Forex Profit'

According to this strategy, all profitable buy signals appear only when EMA (10) has crossed (25)

and (50) bottom-up. Here, you should open a trade but make sure the Parabolic SAR is below the

price. If you want to open a sell trade, the conditions are exactly the opposite.

In picture 1, you can see the example of opening a trade using the rules of the `Forex Profit' trading

strategy. The green circle is where (10) crossed (25) and (50) bottom-up and the

Parabolic SAR was below the current price. Should you prefer to use Forex trading strategies on H1

timeframes, as shown in the example, you should make sure before opening a trade that the Parabolic

SAR has the same position on the 15-minute and H1 interval. Never go against Parabolic SAR on M15.

Rules of Closing a Trade

Ideally, the best trade exit signal is crossing all of the s in the opposite direction as shown in our

example. In this case, a trade should be closed at the point marked by the red circle. Besides, the `Forex

Profit' trading strategy, like many other free Forex scalping trading strategies, lets you exit a trade on a

constantly moving stop loss or trailing stop.

Placing a Protective Stop-loss

Placing a protective stop-loss is an essential condition and applies not only to `Forex Profit', but to other

profitable Forex strategies, too.

In our case, a protective order should be placed a bit below EMA (50) for a buy trade and a bit above for

a sell trade. Besides, it is advisable to move a stop loss on EMA (50) during a price movement. Should

the price move in the opposite direction, you would be able to keep the bulk of your profit.

It is important to totally abide by the rules of this Forex strategy to guarantee successful trading.

Therefore, you should close a trade when crossing all of the s in the opposite direction.

Using the `Forex Profit' Forex strategy on the 15-minute Chart

This Forex strategy works quite well on the 15-minute chart, but you should take into account several

special features. An example of opening a trade is shown on the picture below.

As opposed to H1 trading, M15 trading is more unsteady but on the other hand, you can open a large

number of intraday trades and gain good profit.

However, be aware that occasionally the price draws a `seesaw' on a chart through all the moving

averages. In this case, if you have an opened trade, it would be better to close it at market price and

wait until the moving averages diverged.

1-minute Chart Scalping

The first example shows trading on the H1 chart. Here, trades can last for several days and sometimes

even weeks. The second example is for the M15 chart and is more suitable for day traders. Here, trades

are closed within a day.

You can use `Forex Profit' for scalping too, in that you can open and close trades on 1-5 minute charts.

Profit from each trade won't be large, but such trading strategies have one big advantage: there are

many trades, so profit could be quite significant.

If you intend to the `Forex Profit' trading strategy for scalping, you should take into account the

following:

- You should use (25), (50) and (100) instead of moving averages with periods 10,

- As a rule, the best time for scalping is the opening of the London or New York Stock Exchange.

All currency pairs start moving in one direction at such moments and many free Forex trading

strategies use this feature

- You should open a buy trade when the price crosses all three moving averages from the bottom-

Forex dual stochastic trade

Forex Dual Stochastic Trade

Total Shares 36

On its own the stochastic indicator may only be partially useful, but combine two of them – one slow, one fast – and something very interesting happens…

The Forex Dual Stochastic Trade is based on combining a slow and fast stochastic and looking for occasions when these two signals are at opposite extremes. Extremes are defined as the 80% and 20% levels (illustrations below give a better indication of what is meant).

The only other indicator you need to perhaps consider for this strategy is the 20 EMA, and even it is not essential. The settings for the two stochastics are as follows:

Slow Stochastic:

Slowing:10

Fast Stochastic:

For Metatrader these settings are shown in the diagrams below (the colour choices of course are up to you):

Slow Stochastic Settings in Metatrader:

Fast Stochastic Settings in Metatrader:

n. b. In the examples given below I have combined both stochastics in the one window at the bottom of the Metatrader chart. You may find this more convenient to do, and it is easily achieved. First place one of the stochastic indicators on the chart. Second, drag the next stochastic indicator from the Navigator window in Metatrader and drop it on top of the first stochastic. The dialogue box to enter the settings will come up automatically.

The basic rules are that you:

wait for price to be trending strongly

watch for the stochastics indicators to be at opposite extremes

and then for confirmation of an entry look for an appropriate candle pattern that signals a reversal after a short retracement to the 20 Ema.

Note that you can also use the mid-band of the Bollinger bands as a substitute for the 20 Ema.

To go straight to a few trade examples have a look at the following chart. These examples are from one hour charts, as this is a good time frame to trade this particular pattern on.

The circles indicate possible entries for a short in a down trend. Note how the slow stochastic (yellow indicator band) is extremely oversold and the fast stochastic (blue band) has just hooked down after being extremely overbought.

The third example is a bit borderline as the slow stochastic has begun to lift from the oversold region. On the other hand, price has just made a double top and fallen away convincingly. So this would be a judgement call for you to make as a trader.

Above: A classic short entry in a confirmed downtrend. Note how flat and oversold the slow stochastic is, combined with a near copybook fast stochastic hook down from oversold. The 20 Ema has also been touched and convincingly rejected from. The bearish candle is not a classic engulfing pattern but is confirmed by later candles.

Abve: The first circle indicates an near classic entry as price has now broken below old support and is falling away. An obvious winner. The second circle indicates a perfect evening star pattern at the 20 Ema, but taking this trade would have most likely resulted in a loss, or at least breakeven result. Just to show that the strategy is not always perfect. Of course, these trades are all drawn from history and we have no idea what was going on in the market at that time, which may or may not have influenced the sentiment.

I know several traders who bend the rules slightly when using this system and still do very well with it. It is an intuitive system, not necessarily to be used in a mechanical, robotic fashion. You should always use it in confluence with other signals, as indicated above, and always keeping in mind the time of day/session/Liquidity etc that is prevailing at the time you are trading.

In the illustration above neither example is perfect. In the first, the slow stochastic is not quite at overbought. In the second, the fast stochastic is not quite at oversold. Yet both represent convincing rejections at the 20 Ema after price has closed convincingly above an old support level indicated by the white line.

This is an example of where you may need to exercise your judgement, and as always, remember to trade with a confluence of other events and signals if they are available. The classics are:

Building Self-Confidence

Preparing Yourself for Success!

Learn how to become more self-confident, with James Manktelow and Amy Carlson.

From the quietly confident doctor whose advice we rely on, to the charismatic confidence of an inspiring speaker, self-confident people have qualities that everyone admires.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can be a vicious circle: people who lack self-confidence can find it difficult to become successful.

After all, most people are reluctant to back a project that's being pitched by someone who was nervous, fumbling, and overly apologetic.

On the other hand, you might be persuaded by someone who speaks clearly, who holds his or her head high, who answers questions assuredly, and who readily admits when he or she does not know something.

Confident people inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

The good news is that self-confidence really can be learned and built on. And, whether youre working on your own confidence or building the confidence of people around you, its well-worth the effort!

How Confident do you Seem to Others?

Your level of self-confidence can show in many ways: your behavior, your body language, how you speak, what you say, and so on. Look at the following comparisons of common confident behavior with behavior associated with low self-confidence. Which thoughts or actions do you recognize in yourself and people around you?
