On May 3, 2013, we received an Ichimoku 4 time frame Buy email alert on JHX-ASX, James Hardie Industries.   Here is the email alert:

We setup for a 60m trade since the instrument was consolidating and we wanted a low risk/high reward.  The entry was 10.24, initial stop of 9.92 and a preserve mode of 10.51.    This is a 1:1 reward/risk ratio to the preserve mode value.   When we  enter the trade, it should become a 3:1 reward/risk ratio.    Here is the chart setup.

We entered preserve mode and exited the trade at 10.68.

On May 7, 2013, we received an Ichimoku 5 time frame Email alert sell on the Future Soybeans.   The trading time frame was only 30m,60m, and 120m.     We don’t see anything for 240 and daily which may mean this email alert may be counter trend.   Here is the email alert:

In looking at the 2h time frame, the breakout entry would be below 1368 7/8.    The 2h time frame looks very ugly.  Here is the chart:

We are going to look at this price level on the daily time frame to get a clear idea on what is going on.    The daily time frame shows we are trading within a big consolidation pattern.   The price level from the 2h that we are marked is in the middle of the consolidation pattern.   Here is the chart:

We are going to setup alerts and wait for price to tell us what is going on.    Price actually decided to go up.   When our bullish alert triggered, we setup for a bullish trade on the 60m to retest the top of the consolidation pattern.     The Entry is 1383, initial stop of 1379, preserve mode of 1398 6/8, and a target of 1414 7/8.    The max risk to the preserve mode will be 4pts and min. reward would be 15 6/8.    This would give us a min. reward/risk of 3.75:1+ i.e. 375%+.     We setup a target since we are trading within a consolidation pattern.   Here is the chart setup:

We reached our target and exited the trade.

On May 5, 2013, we received an Ichimoku 6 time frame Buy email alert in the Forex market for the currency EURJPY.   Here is the email alert:

We setup the trade on the 4h time frame.   The entry was 129.00, initial stop of 128.76, and a preserve mode value of 130.32.    This would give us a min. reward of 132 pts and a max risk of 24 pts.   This would give us a min. reward/risk of 5.5:1 reward/risk ratio i.e. 550%.   Here is the chart setup.

The current stop if 130.77.    It is above our entry of 129.00 so we have locked in at least 550% profit already.    It is a “Free trade” also so there is no risk.  As a trend continues, we will lock in more and more profit increasing our potential profit.

On May 6, 2013, we received an Ichimoku 6 time frame Buy email alert on the stock ITW, Illinois Tool Works.  Here is the email alert:

Due to the market at the all time high’s, we are setting up a breakout trade on the 2h time frame.   The entry was 66.24, initial stop of 64.71, and a preserve mode value of 67.75.     Since the stock is at a all time high, there is no history of resistance value.   Therefore, we are have setup for a 1:1 reward/risk ratio.  When we enter the trade, it should become close to 3:1 reward/risk ratio i.e. 300%.   Here is the current chart setup:

Currently, we are in Preserve mode right now.   The stop is 67.50.   Since the current stop if above the entry, this is a FREE trade.   There is no more risk for this trade.  As as the trend continues to move higher, we will lock in more profits.  This trade is setup now to give us a residual income.

On April 26, 2013, we received an Ichimoku Multiple Time Frame Sell Email alert on the stock, INTU, Intuit inc.   The email is shown below:

We decided to setup the trade on a 4h chart since there was a huge gap before this date.    Due to the gap, we are going to setup for a pull back trade since the breakout trade would be a huge risk.    The entry was 60.81, initial stop of 61.54, and a preserve mode of 56.05.  This would give a min. reward of 4.76 and a max risk of 0.73.   This would give us a 6:1 reward/risk ratio i.e. 652%.    Here is chart setup:

We are in the trade right now.    It is profitable but our stop has not moved down yet for the trade to become free.     Also, we took this trade short because it was part of the Nasdaq.   Right now, the Nasdaq is the weakest of the Dow and SP500.

On May 2, 2013, we received a 5 Ichimoku Time frame Buy Day Trading Signal on Dollar Futures.    The email is shown below.

We looked at the 60m chart for a possible trade.   The entry would be 81.935, initial stop of 81.788, and a preserve mode value of 82.416.   This would give us a  min. reward of 0.481 and a max risk of 0.147.   The min. reward/risk ratio is 3:1 i.e 327%.    Here is the chart setup:

This is a day trade since their was no signal in the 120,240, or daily timeframe.   In order to have our probabilities high, we are going to make sure the higher timeframe supports the direction of our trend.   Here is the daily chart:

Since price is in the cloud which indicates the daily time frame is consolidating, we are not going to enter this trade.    The trade has a good reward/risk ratio and it did work out well.  However, this is only one trade of many.   If you look at many trades, you will see you will lose overall.  Therefore, we will “walk away” from this trade because we want to setup good habits and trade high probability scenario’s only.

On April 11, 2013, we received a Ichimoku 6 time frame email buy alert on the Future Rough Rice.   The email alert is shown below:

Everyone was trying to go bullish.   However, the trade never triggered on the bullish setup.   Instead, a bearish setup occurred.   We took advantage of it because a small downward would cause everyone to get out.

The trade was setup on a 4hr chart.  The entry was 15.488, initial stop of 15.703, and preserve mode value of 15.234.  This would give us a min. reward of 0.254 and a max risk of  0.215.   This would give us a min reward/risk of 1:1 to the preserve mode value.

Currently, our stop is at 15.159 since preserve mode has been reached.  The stop is below our entry so it is a free trade.
