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]

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
