many thx for this indicator!!!

Just found it yesterday & been backtesting it for 2 days now. Found that it trades well for 'day trading' too, on smaller time frames, on 610/377/233 tick charts, for the ES & NQ!! I compared the original input settings (9,26,52), with the alternate settings posted in this thread of (7,22,44) on charts & tested them side by side....found these 'later' settings were 'better in the turns' than the original ones, imo, & backtesting & trading live today....they were quicker by about 2-5 bars, per turn. See what any of you think, & opinions are welcome feedback.

 

thx again....great indicator!!

Hi Ajax:

The original numbers were derived from the observations from number of trading days in the Japanese week and month then as compared to where we are now. Ichimoku uses three key time periods for its input parameters: 9, 26, and 52.

When Ichimoku was created back in the 1930s, a trading week was 6 days long.

These parameters, thus, represent one and a half week, one month, and two months, respectively.

Now that the trading week is 5 days, one may want to modify the parameters to 7, 22, and 44. 8, 24 and 48 work as well. So the difference was in the concept that they work on Daily charts and need them to be slow. If you want your charts to react faster then your parameters will work well for you. The danger that you face is that Ichimoku is trend following and that when there is a sideways moving day, hour or whatever, the faster you go the more that you will be whipsawed. Keeping the originals will help to offset that.

Read the studies that Manesh Patel has done - do a Google, perhaps get his book.

I agree - Ichimoku is one of the best indicators out there and can keep your charts clean as it does not need anything else to go by. Each of the lines and the Cloud has a set of minor and major rules. If you get these, you are well on your way to a very safe method and system.

Best.http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

The 'cloud' saw the breakouts & congestion very well. Will further backtest all yourt inputs this weekend, then will post a results later next week.

Hi Ajax:

Not easy to find on a Google search these days but you might want to browse through this "IchiWiki" site or blog. I think that it it the bottom line to using the Ichimoku in a nutshell. Manesh shared his experience and knowledge with all of us - incredibly generous and a amazing teacher!

thx allot....great link!! This is turning out to be a great indicator, & has taken my day trading to the next level, as well as 'swings' too!!

 

I have tested the 3 input levels above, in both backtesting & live trading....the Std=9,26,52; the 8,24,48; & 7,22,44 (this last one stated to adapt to the current 5 trading days, versus the original formula for '6' trading days). The final analysis was that the 'middle' one, as seems to mirror the orignal formaul almost closely, but a littel quicker in the turns, so the (8,24,48) am using now....for day trading the ES & NQ, on 610/377/233 tick charts.

 

Any feedback to these or other inputs is greatly appreciated!!....thx for the postings on this great, but unknown to most, topic!!

 

ciao.....ajax358 .....:)

For the 3 temporal variables, the indicator's author counsels to choose respectively the lengths of

9 days,

26 days

52 days.

 

At the time of this indicator's creation, there were 6 days of trading in one week.

 

These parameters corresponded therefore to

one week and half for the short-term analysis,

one month for the medium-term survey and

two months for the long term.

 

Today, the financial places are open 5 days per week.

 

To adjust, you can choose therefore the periods of

7 days,

22 days

44 days

 

As for other indicators, the parameters must be adjusted according to the periodicity of your diagram.

 

Hello,there are more settings:18,52,104 that's double the standart settings.Here is a good video on the Ichimoku Cloud by Rob Booker. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGrxL5U7YaY]Rob Booker Ichimoku Cloud For Stocks - YouTube[/ame]

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
