Look at this one h4 chart shows a nice bearish trend in place, Look at the first circle tenken sen crosses kinjun sen below the cloud it is a strong sell signal, now have a look at the next circle it was a jump out signal as it settled above tenken indicating a correction, finally it broke the trendline and the kinjun and a correction is in place also keep an eye on the stoch divergence ! btw I bought at the reversal at the bottom of the weekly cloud targeting for the 4 hour weekly kinjun which got hit yehhhh now I too feel like a baby in a candy store like Mr pips - LOL some days are good same days are bad, Here I would suggest you never get undisciplined trading and get into a hurry to trade ! This is a major drawdown I have done that before and Always got smooked !
I thought that I better analyze this chart else it will be in my mind..
The first sell signal is awesome.. Its a very strong sell signal, no doubt about that.
Coming to the buy signal (Which is a correction). The price didn't touch the bottom of the weekly cloud. If your entry is above tenken and your target is kinjun. I would see it as an early entry (I would call it as a smart entry) and early exit. If I had to enter, I would have entered after tenken crossed over kinjun because price is above the cutover and chances of reaching the bottom of the cloud in H4 will be my first target and keeps trailing.
This concept is very similar to pivot based trading.. We do not enter once the trendlines breaks, we wait for higher high and lower lows to make a pivot and then make an entry.
I have a very important question.. How do we keep trailing our stops in ichimoku. Can give me a hindsight of it.
