Ichimoku Cloud - VertexFx VTL

The Ichimoku Cloud indicator, known as "Ichimoku Kinko Hyo" or one look equilibrium chart is useful in identifying high probability trades. The Ichimoku chart consists of three lines (the red, blue and green line in chart) and a cloud. The red line is called Tenkan Sen or conversion line and the blue line is called Kijun Sen or base line. The green line is called Chikou Span or lagging span. The cloud is the area between the two thick lines. These lines are called Senkou Span A,(pink line) and senkou Span B (steel blue line).

 

 

The most important component of this indicator is the Ichimoku Cloud. The cloud behaves just like a normal support and resistance. However unlike normal support and resistance, the cloud offers a zone as support or resistance. The width of the cloud is related to underlying volatility in the currency. Breakout through the cloud indicates a good trading opportunity in the direction of the breakout.

 

Interpreting the Ichimoku chart.

 

Strong Signals

A strong buy signal occurs when the Tenkan-Sen (red line) crosses above the Kijun-Sen (blue line) from below. A strong sell signal occurs when the opposite occurs. The signals must be above cloud for a buy and below the cloud for a sell.

 

 

Normal Signals

A normal buy signal occurs when the Tenkan-Sen (red line) crosses above the Kijun-Sen (blue line) from below. A normal sell signal occurs when the opposite occurs. The signals must be within the cloud.

 

 

Weak Signals

A weak buy signal occurs when the Tenkan-Sen crosses above the Kijun-Sen from below. A weak sell signal occurs when the opposite occurs. The signals must be below the cloud for a buy and above the cloud for a sell.

 

 

Support/Resistance Levels

Support and resistance levels are represented by the presence of the cloud. If the price is entering the cloud from below, then the price is at a resistance level. If the price is falling into the cloud, then there is a support level.

 

Trends

Trends can be determined by simply looking at where the current price is in relation to the cloud. If the price stays below the cloud, then there is a downward trend (bearish); if the price stays above the cloud, then there is an upward trend (bullish).

 

 

 

It may look complex at first sight but when the chart is broken down into components, even novice traders find the application easy and useful.

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
