This LONG-ONLY strategy uses the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system for trades. It combines multiple Ichimoku factors to go long when criteria are met.
The trading logic is:
Calculate conversion, base line, leading spans 1 & 2
Consider long when close is above cloud and cloud is rising, with conversion above base line
Additionally, lagging span must be above cloud and price for uptrend confirmation
When all criteria met, go long
If lagging span falls below price or cloud, close long
The strategy utilizes Ichimoku’s indicators to confirm trend, with the cloud as dynamic stops for risk control.
Ichimoku synthesizes multiple factors for trend determination
Dynamic stops to maximize profit locking
Simple and clear rules for easy implementation
Ichimoku is slow and may miss opportunities
Careful optimization of lookback periods needed
LONG only, so good short chances missed
This strategy leverages Ichimoku’s synthesis of indicators to define trend direction. With optimized parameters, it provides a simple long-only system. But limitations in lag and being LONG-only require caution.
