Learn everything about the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo — a 15-part video course —
“Only Sansei Ichimeizan knows the essence and utilization of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.”
(Total 15 sessions - video course)
The familiar “Ichimoku Kinko Hyo” is well known, but
Did you know that the MT4 standard indicator is also included under the name “Ichimoku Kinkou Hyou”?
When you display the Ichimoku Kinkou Hyou that comes standard with MT4, it looks like this.

The area enclosed by Senkou Span 1 and Senkou Span 2 is what is commonly called the “cloud.”
In terms of trading methods and understanding using these,
• Buy when the candlestick breaks above the cloud, and sell when it breaks below
• The cloud tends to act as a resistance band, and thicker clouds imply stronger resistance
There are.
For those a little more advanced,
• When the candlestick and the Lagging Span cross, and the Lagging Span crosses above, buy; if it crosses below, sell
• If Tenkan-sen is below Kijun-sen, sell; if above, buy
• Three-line bullish reversal (Tenkan-sen above Kijun-sen, price above the cloud, and Lagging Span above the price) buy
That’s about how it goes.
But when you actually look at it,
“At a glance it looks messy and hard to understand…”
you may feel that way.
Moreover, since the Lagging Span is moving away from the current candle, you might not know if it crosses the candlestick without stepping back to view the bigger picture.
Trading on a cloud breakout may not work well…
There are people who say you can use Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, and people who say you cannot.
That is because the level of usefulness of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is proportional to your level of understanding.

3. Senkou Span 1

4. Senkou Span 2

The interesting thing is that Senkou Span 1 and Senkou Span 2are moved into the future, you see.
If Senkou Span 1 (26 days) crosses above Senkou Span 2 (52 days), it is said to signal an uptrend.
Since past price ranges are displayed in the future, they become a temporary resistance band,
you can understand why!
5. Lagging Span

The Lagging Span is simply the closing price moved back 26 periods.
The phenomenon of the Lagging Span crossing above or below the price,
being above past highs or below past lows can be considered a breakout.
