Choosing your entry points is a very critical issue in trading because it sets you up for your long term success.
The KS will help you greatly in this issue when considering where to enter. But remember that you must follow it. Meaning that if it is bullish then only look to buy at these points and if it bearish then only look to sell at these points.

Static and dynamic values are used to calculate 2 things:
1. Entries
2. Stop loss levels
Choosing one or the other depends on market strength
Thanks in advance
Static KS consider time without considering price
Static KS values are what the market sees and trades but if the market moves without visiting them, it is impossible to get a position so considering the dynamic value would come in handy at that time
There are other applications as well but a bit too complex to answer here. Maybe i'll do a slide for them some day
Thank you
good luck
It seems as if you use KS also as a momentum indicator, however in the classic viewpoint of Ichi, the momentum indicator is the TS.
Do you use them in combination or you rely only on the KS?
I use sometime multiple ichi (two) on the same chart to have an idea of the behaviour of different timeframes: if you would do that how would you interprete the two KS?
Thank and my best compliments
Ichimoku is an integrated trading system. The more you know the better you are but even if you have a basic understanding of how to use the KS you will be profitable.
The issue of momentum is a dangerous one to discuss because it has different meanings depending on the current market structure and conditions. So it is not a general concept that you can apply to every situation. Accordingly, the element you use for measuring the momentum may differ in ichimoku.
As for using multiple timeframe analysis or adding another ichi on top of the original that really just complicates things without necessity because ichi already gives you multiple TF views of the market. Also, we have to remember why we are using the system, it is to analyze the market and choose entries and exits and what ichi offers in terms of those requirements is much more than you will ever need.
Good luck
