Ichimoku and price action - MT4/MT5 Resources
Hi guys
Edited February 2026 :
It’s been almost nine years since this post was created. Over the years I have gradually moved towards very short-term day trading.
My trading posts starting in 2026 (249 years from now) will follow my hybrid approach based on moving average setups for very short time frames and Ichimoku for everything else. Only available on Dax 40.
The moving average used is the GMMA of D Aryl Guppy, I applied a multiplier of 5. The 100 period SMA also included (observe its position relative to the GMMA and its slope) and the ema 200 (pink). Regarding Ichimoku, I only use reaction levels and hints I've collected over the years. I don't follow purely traditional Ichimoku rules .

Ichimoku provides me with an excellent level of responsiveness and saves me from manually drawing diagrams. To find these levels, I won't hesitate to scan time frames that no one else can see - I really don't care. What is important is that the degree of reaction on the Ichimoku diagram is clear.
That being said, regardless of your personal approach, this thread remains dedicated to Ichimoku.
