Customizable Ichimoku Entry and Exit Condition Strategy
Summary
This strategy builds entries and exits from configurable Ichimoku components: the conversion and base lines, leading spans that form the cloud, and the lagging span. Users choose which conditions must align for long and short entries, such as a line cross, cloud direction, price relative to the cloud, or lagging-span confirmation. Separate condition sets govern exits. The strategy can close positions on Ichimoku exit signals or use optional percentage take-profit and stop-loss levels; visual settings display lines and signal conditions.
The document describes a flexible framework rather than a tested fixed rule set. Published defaults enable multiple entry filters and use a two-hour chart with 15-minute base data for BTC/USDT futures over about a month, but no performance results are supplied. The text cautions that broad customization increases testing demands, poor parameter choices may lose money, and overly strict condition combinations can miss trades. Results for one configuration or short sample would not establish robustness across markets or periods.
Key ideas
- The strategy calculates the standard Ichimoku lines and cloud, with configurable periods and displacement.
- Users select which trend and price conditions combine to form long and short entries.
- Long and short exits have their own configurable Ichimoku conditions.
- Optional percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit orders can replace signal-based exits.
- The published settings describe a short BTC/USDT futures test but provide no performance results.
