What Ichimoku principles do you apply and do you add other thoughts to your trading decision?

Looking at all four signals to evaluate the probability of a good entry: 1. above/below cloud 2. above/below Kijun-sen 3. above/below Tenakn-sen 4. Chikou above/below price history. So I count how many of them match, say 3 out of 4 can still be a trade if other indicators look promising (see later). 2 out of 2 I would be cautious, with smaller size or not to trade it at all. One signal is obviously no trade. I look at multiple timeframes, if they conflict I prioritize the higher one. Cloud has utmost important to me, trying to avoid trading in the cloud on daily. I also look at volume and momentum indicator, lately I prefer BB% for that. for targets I use cloud shadow and Chikou but also take into consideration key levels such as fibonacci and gaps if there is confluence I prefer that. I generally do not use crosses as they are lagging.

Thanks for the breakdown - very helpful and interesting. We are similar in approach in mnay ways and I have toyed with blending Ichimoku with some other traditional indicators with some success such as ADX and OSMA. When trades run heavily in my favour I agree that crosses are very lagging and I have been using Parabolic SAR as another option to trailing a stop. You can never stop learning in this business. Much appreciated

133.31 stop with a 139.7 target entry at 132.27 still looks like a very good good Risk/Reward setup

Since it could not hold above 133 it is still on sell signal, today (23rd candle) on 4h chart there is a bullish engulf signal this cautions me to wait for a better price to short, at the same time we could not make new high and the low is lower which breaks the bounce. Wait and see at the moment. I have a very small short on FB but no position against SPY at the moment.

Nice setup. It's good that you show clear take profit and stop loss zones.
