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

thx Iris!!

Good suggestions & will backtest the inputs ya listed. As new to this indicator, have added it to my charts....past 3 days trading did very well on 610/377/233 tick charts. The 'cloud' saw the breakouts & congestion very well. Will further backtest all yourt inputs this weekend, then will post a results later next week.

Thx again for your input & suggestions.

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]

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
