Paul, trying out some analysis here. So far my record using ichimoku is 2-1-0. 2 is the number of winning trades. 1 is the number of potential trades which were so obvious that if I knew ichimoku earlier, I would have made it. 0 is the number of false trades. While net positive, these are not numbers which show months of experience. Anyway, I thought let's try out some online analysis with a learner on one side, and you critiquing on the other side.
I am looking at Infosys. I do not have GCI, but a mix of MT4 and MetaStock data. I have good real time data from MT4, and good historic data with Metastock. I do not have trendlines or pivots, so this is just going by pure ichimoku (not even stochastics).
At the monthly level, I see the price was very high above the cloud in January timeframe so it had to fall. After reversal, the price has crossed both tenken and kijun. One one side, the TK will pull the price towards themselves, but on the other side the cloud is pulling it downwards. I call it a draw with monthly not influencing the price movement (even though last month had a huge move and momentum).
At the weekly level, the price is under the cloud. It is also under the kijun, and a little bit under the tenkan. Not sure when the downwards move will reverse, but all of these will eventually pull the price up. Target appears to be in the range of 2700 (kijun).
At the daily level, the situation is opposite of monthly. Price is between the cloud and T/K. However, the cloud is on top whereas in monthly the cloud is at bottom. This implies cloud is pulling the price up, but T/K will pull it down. Price will hit the cloud around 2550, so that is probably the limit of any move because of daily numbers.
Without going into the timing of when to buy or sell (which is when stochs might come in), the feeling I have is that weekly is the dominant one as of now (not considering H4 or lower timeframes). There could be further up move until 2550 and then we get into all mixed signals.
Please critique this...
