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: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
