3 Step Ichimoku Trading Plan.
- Find an Email Alert (This can be any alert given by the website.). The best Email alerts are 4 time frames and above.
- Find the major iMTF (ichimoku Multi Time Frame) support/resistance level. (See Videos on iMTF)
- 3rd Money Management. Determine Reward/Risk.
- Risk is the iMTF with a buffer. For a bullish trade, it will be the iMTF minus the buffer. For a bearish trade, it will be the iMTF plus the buffer. The buffer that can be used is 50% of the Average True Range (ATR) for 26 periods.
- Reward: Determine the next major support/resistance
- Reward/Risk: Look for 3:1 reward/risk for pull backs and 1:1 reward risk for break outs.
Observations:
Watching how price reacts to these iMTF’s, you can tell you a lot about the chart. You can see how strong the sentiment of the chart is. Here are a few rules to consider with iMTF’s and its relation to price.
- If price does not pull back the iMTF, then we have strong sentiment for a break out.
- If price pulls back to the iMTF and holds, we now have a pull back with a high probability to the pivot,
- If price does pull back to the iMTF and breaks it, then we have weakness, which could lead to a consolidation or a reversal.
Rule one is really strong sentiment. Rule two is strong and probabilities can be increased with optimization rules. And rule three is weakness, which can also be looked at as counter trend strength. If you get stopped out, reverse the trade with the same rules above. Allow only two losing trades per alert. If you get stopped out then there is a high probability price is in a consolidations.
NOTE: Please read my article on consolidations.
