0:10 welcome guys it's uh nine o'clock thank you all for joining we have 37 people here so a little bit of over halfway so thank you for being sharp on time so let's talk a little bit about what to expect here on the webinar today so we're going to be talking a little bit about my backgrounds you have an idea where all these ideas are coming from then we're gonna about talk about the organs of ichi where it comes from all that stuff and we'll go straight to the point which is how do I use it which is how this webinar was built from from the beginning it's uh my approach to ichimoku how do I use it um the reasons of why I use it in the way that I do um little tricks and secrets that really helped me Define um and um my plans and how to apply it to the markets itself um ichimoku it's uh and then after that we're gonna have um like a few minutes um that I will probably share a few ideas on my biggest course waves and particles I want to talk to you a little bit about that so you have a better idea of what it goes how it goes but you need to learn each first and then um we're gonna have a brief time so for a little q a I can answer your questions you know clear some doubts and and that would be it so you guys ready sound good everything all right you need a bathroom break before we start you're good thank you Jeff happy to have you here the first thing [Music] this music is really nice but we need to really get out of here to focus all right so um the name of the webinar measurement determines reality it's um like I said ichimoku is something very um wide in the spectrum of things that you can learn it's something that certainly you're not going to learn in a single class um you have several major theories when it comes to Ichi you have wave theory time theory price Theory so those are probably um the deeper theories the ones that are a little bit hardest it's a probably a another webinar that I'm already started working on but I'm gonna give you here is how I've been using ichimoku in the simple way in the past four years basically so in let's get kick it with that so the first thing I want to talk about is about a little bit about my timeline here um not today because I don't think it's relevant but it's good that you know understand everything happened for me so um if you are wondering about my background um I'm a computer engineer I also have a second career which is a BFA in visual communication with a masters in design studies which is branding basically however as you can see here on my background I really didn't you know exercise my knowledge as an engineer because I fell in love with photography when I was really young and I just went through that route the artistic route and I got the pleasure to have a really successful career almost 20 years working as an advertising photographer worked with some of the biggest brands in the world many countries well many awards did all that happy with the outcome but then trade installed my heart I have to be honest I mean I became obsessed with trading and I use as you can see the background really it's basically uh divided between math and art so that's what I really you know felt comfortable around those two subjects so around early 2000s I was in my early 20s I had a little bit of experience with um with trading basically I I was actually working with a music producer I was doing music videos for his artist in many sessions many late night sessions we were there you know working on the editing videos working on new music in his Studio but he used to trade and I used to see the candles and I remember looking at his screen like um you're out of your damn mind how can you trade looking at those things what are those little numbers and stuff like that but he you know what I got I got my interest so through thanks to his advice I you know I started putting a little bit of money on the market um nothing major but I got a little bit of understanding about what trading meant back then that was like 15 years ago nothing completely 100 amateur like I said my background is doesn't have anything to do with Finance or economics at all then I have to say that I for a very very long time I was a professional gamer so I used to play tournaments and counter and strike and obviously because of that reason like a lot of Gamers on the crypto Community I learned about Bitcoin very early it was actually around 2012.

6:37 sadly around that time by the advice of a friend I try to buy Bitcoin and then uh it was a little bit difficult to be honest I just spent a couple hours like at 3am trying to get like 500 a Bitcoin and then I got bored really fast and I was like you know what I'll come back to it later and I never did it I completely forgot about it then I I came again into the path of Bitcoin around early 2016 and that's when I decided like you know I have a little bit of experience with stocks and I just can't keep ignoring this Bitcoin thing so it's around 20 at late 2015 early 2016 I really started trading seriously I decided to you know give it a go um yes Javier a will be recorded um sorry guys um so yeah um what I had lost I thought for a second yeah so around here I got really interested on the price action especially hanging around on Twitter other Traders because I really noticed that they had uh you know some of them had really good success predicting the price so at that point I just kind of I started to see some resemblance of patterns and I started to see some recognition and what it means to to [Music] trade and one of the first I mean I don't want to really waste too much time on this but I really noticed that it was a strong mathematical relationship between many formulas formulas that I used to study as an engineer and the price action and that really picked my interest one of the first actually no one of the first after I learned trend lines in Japanese scandals the first thing the uh I Learned was ichimoku so ichimaku was definitely something else it it really did change my my trading game and it was only for a brief amount of time that I needed to see how good it was people have no idea about the Limitless possibilities that you will have with each moku um ichimoku led me to gun and then basically pairing those two trading systems with the background I had in math and physics I was able to put everything together connect a few Dots here and there well it was mostly like spending 20 hours a day seven days a week for like three years putting connecting the dots to create the system um the waves and particle system I I was a hundred percent satisfied with it around October it helped me call the top on Twitter publicly and also get out of the market around here then I spent probably most of the 20 most you know the entire year the burn Market 2018 back testing the system to see if it was really accurate or if it was me having just confirmation bias or just I was just lucky for one second um it ended up it ended up being that it was something completely out of out of this world so it was really good helped me also call the dot the this deep with specific day like eight months before it happened then January I called the top for January and from June like six and one year before they happened so it was amazing launched the system unit 19 and here we are today so I decided to take all the experience building with some particles and when I learned basically to dissipate a few of the doubts uh people have when it comes to ichimoku and really help you trade it uh understand how to trade with it in a very simple inefficient way so now that you know that background then we move on to the main concept of ichimoku so there is a very actually I'd rather go here this is a balance right and I'm going to read this portion that I got from two different books of Asian knowledge but it's a little bit of a Romantics basically written by tough and The Emerald Tablets so it goes like with the fact that the Universe always demands balance so there's this law of compensation and it means that basically for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction it's that's also physics too so if the pendulum swings one way it must always swing back the other way so for a moment if you think about it um you create this Rhythm rhythm with the prize with the planets moving the cycles of the Sun and all of that so it's you can even evidence have evidence of this in your life courage is preceded by fear happiness and sadness oxalate basically the Asian says the Ancients say the man who enjoys well can also be subject to create suffering the man who feels little pain is capable of feeling but little Joy so everything it's always imbalance so even if you don't believe in it the law compensation is always operative you will probably find that there is no such thing as an overnight success one generally pays the price for what he wants to attain so nothing comes really easy the things that one pays a price for are always repaid always remember that everything is subject to the principle of cause and effect nothing escapes this fact whether spiritually esoterically or in terms of quantum physics and math it nothing escapes that fact so regardless of your belief that when someone says there is no cause and effect the principle is still their operative So based on that you can see how every single thing in life it's revolves around balance you think of it you think about the Chinese the Jin and young you think about this is Japanese actually it's a principle of ikigai which is your purpose it means that when you have your passion your mission your vacation and your profession align you find that ultimately ultimate truth purpose in life enjoy so that's where the name of uh of my company comes from ikagi it's use a plain and worse for this um but in India and yoga Buddhism um the religious uh ancient religions uh like the origins of everything the Sumerians the Egyptians um it doesn't matter what you think where you find that resource those resources everything always comes down to balance and that's basically the principle that all of these religions and ideas are always trying to convey even when you think about physics basically physics it's if you have a gravity if you think about electromagnetism these are always forces dark matter uh and then you have matter you have light and you have Darkness so you have particles that are positively positively charged and you have particles that are negatively charged so it there's always like the yin yang says that very clearly the the better you are able to accept life with its dualities like night and day black and white Saturn and and happy the better you will be able to navigate life so nothing goes in a streamline all the time in it the reason for that is because if that was true then it would not be able to fulfill Cycles it the a cycle it's just a natural progression of something oscillating across time so for that reason we can safely deduct that nothing will ever go up and nothing will ever go down so the trick is just to know when things are going to turn around and that's when we get into Trading so this is the first and most important principle that I can share with you when it comes to Trading uh like Toth also said as above so below us below so above so that's what balance means based on that you we meet goichihosora this is actually going to soda he was the inventor of ichimoku I'm Gonna Learn I'm gonna read to you a little bit of a ichimokumin so it was a journal a newspaper a journalist he mastered the coverage of Japan Century's all rice markets in the early 1900s he has a he had a deep understanding on the history of the markets he used to write for the financial times in Japan so he charted prices and eventually formulated a unique conception of support and resistance then in the late 1930s he talked to some people in the government and he got some Aid to create basically a super computer based out of uh creating with humans by gathering a small army of students who run who run endless computations basically to pursue an optimal systematic approach to evaluate the markets so get ready for this um he spent actually 30 years with this team crunchy numbers so we're not talking about but six months or even one year I'm telling you that this is a guy who spent 30 years studying candles and the math behind it so in 1968 whole soda self-publish his findings and a system that he basically and obviously titled ichimoku Kinko heptology and the reason it was called like that is because there were seven books in total or the other name for it is ichimoku balance table see that's why he was able to find he was able to find with his system a way to measure the balance in the price action because when the price is in Balance you understand the things are either are going to be fighting to go up and down but when seeing things go up you know they're going to be out of balance in the same way when they go down So eventually the price it's going to find that balance so there's bad news when it comes to this he published seven books but and it was late for the Western World he published this in 1968 and the first translation to another language it really became popular in Japan but the first translation reached basically um Germany so was in German in 1995 so it was like 25 27 years after the creation of his system and sadly only four books were translated there are three books that were never never translated I don't know if they're lost today the other tree or I heard that they are being kept by the government in Japan under their their bolt or something like that but the fact is that we don't have the complete story about Ichi at least in the English or any other language for that matter and that became a problem because ichimoku has been the source of a lot of misunderstanding over the years I'm gonna tell you right now in the words of hosura himself out of every 1 000 Traders using ichimoku only 10 know actually how to use it I'm talking we're talking about one percent of ichimoku Traders actually know how to use ichimoku and it is it's obvious why and it's because of the same reason not all of the books were translated uh this is all the original language was Japanese so there's a lot of mysticism and you know basically bad information online about ichimoku so that's one of the reasons that I created this and you are here today basically too you know to wash out those wrong ideas you may have about ichimoku so like us individually or collectively markets are a social creature caught in the dynamic pendulum swinging closer to and then further away from a state of equilibrium it's what I said earlier about the price going up and down on occasion with triple limits and exhibit unusual volatility but revision to the main mean is a rule people like markets can't flourish or even success for long at behavioral extremes this is exactly what we're talking about balance it's impossible people markets planets animals nothing can subsist or flourish for a long time at the extremes and this is exactly what it's ironic with Ichi because from the beginning I'm gonna tell you right now but I'm gonna demonstrate that with the chart in a minute that ichimako is terrible to afford to predict tops and bottoms either way they're gonna help us and I'm gonna show you in a second so we're gonna dissect first here the market price is not the price range but the time you can see here how hot soda suggests that time is more important than price extension and it goes to what we were talking about earlier we are driven by grid if you follow the money if you've I mean not follow the money because that's a good one if if you are driven by the number on the price action like this candle being ten dollars and this candle being 15 now you probably don't have a good understanding about the micro Cycles because as a least relevant thing about the the markets itself so what you want to do is just to get at a level when it makes sense to buy it regardless of what the number of the price is and then you get ready to ride a trend or a momentum and then you get out when you feel you're ready to get out regardless of the price action and if Bitcoin for example right now Bitcoin has been going up for basically almost 18 weekly candles so it is an extreme right now any Candle on the weekly could be the reversal could be next week or keep could be 10 weeks so the question is this one which week is the one that is more likely to turn around if you think it's not possible to forecast that or probably to have a good idea um you're listening to the wrong people and I understand why very few people can do that actually because one very few people understand ichimoku and second very few people actually you know work in the analysis of time but it is possible God did it and hosura did it with ichimoku I have done it in in the past many times so you can forecast the most important dates not only days or weeks but month and years in advance so and and so it is possible and it is basically because of the same principle of balance things move in cycles and those Cycles are determined by pure math like everything else in the universe so by looking at Ichi here for those of you who are this is the first time they use HMO core first time did you get an approach to ichimoku you have four lines these are the most important four lines for the indicator however as hosura said here and I'm telling you right now they are not that important um the weight Theory and the and the theory of time it's more and more and more important however this is an unbelievable safe and a strong way to trade so these four lines are gonna have different meanings so the first one the first two the most important ones are the tin can and the kitchen which are the blue and the red one that you see right here so you see the tenken it's a conversion line so it's a line that connects the half prices of the past nine candles as the compression values every day so we talk here about days because when when hosura was developing the system he used to uh do it on the daily chart but the reality is that ichimoku adapts to any time frame because they ichimoku system it's about counting candles not about counting days and we'll go to those double settings of crypto in a second to you know to debunk some stupid ideas but you have the compression Line This is a tin can right here it's the shortest one of them all it's only nine days and this one it's going to give you a good idea of what might happen in the short term as you can see here for example when it turned around and went down right here it was suggesting that the trend was getting weaker and the price could potentially drop and you can see after that time that's exactly what happened the price drop and the same thing that's the same scenario that you can see right here say so you're here at this point in time and exactly on this candle the kitchen the ten can that you see here pointed to the upside and then cross the kitchen at that moment the short time frame suggested that the price could have a push and that's exactly what happened afterwards then you have the kitchen is the reference line it's a those like the half prices of the past 26 days in there on enter daily as a reference value so the interaction between these two will tell you basically the strength of the trend is the conversion or the 10 kind is above the key unit then the price is bullish as you can see here the price tends to bounce from the kitchen and is Polish as soon as they cross over so the conversion gets under the kitchen then that suggests that it becomes a bearish or a corrective asset so you can see here an example of that then after this is a short term then you have the the kitchen which is this one can be considered also midterm because it's 26 and the other one is nine and then you have the senku A and B senko A which is the one on top it's a first um line that builds the cloud and it's a reference value of 26 days you know move towards the future and then you have the same could be which is exactly the same it's a reference line but instead of 26 they are 52 days towards the future so they built the cloud the cloud is very simple to understand and when you are above the cloud the price is bullish when you are under the cloud the prices bearish when you are inside the cloud in theory you should never trade it because the price is fighting between bulls and bears to see what the trend is going to be in the future I mean you can trade it of course we're going to talk about a few Secrets there but it means that we are in the middle of a fight you can see here once we broke that Kumo the price went up in this case when we went under document the price went down and that's the basics and then the last one which is the chico span or the lagging span in my experience this is a line that most people don't pay attention to but Ironically in my opinion in my personal opinion is the most important one of them all because the chiku or lagenspan is going to give you the confirmations that you're going that you are looking for it is plot 26 days or periods or candles towards the past what that means is like it's going to be the final confirmation the one for a trade it's the live ones it's the last one that breaks the Kumo is the last one that goes above the price is the last one that goes under the price and the last one that goes under the kuma so when that happens you know you have a strong strong momentum so that's those are the basics when it comes to Ichi now soda also said in the preface of the book does the market move or does it Move If It Moves it goes up or down but this means basically is that the market never stops moving it always goes up and goes down in a series of waves pretty similar basically to gun waves to wike off waves to Alleyway waves they're all the same I and it's part of the also my system with some particles and they all share the same math I did the numbers work for years trying to bring it down to a simple system and they virtually share the same numbers when it comes to you know the math behind the price action and that's how you're able to forecast dates and price levels the matter is that the market is always at a constant movement and then we get to the time price tables so who soda started to analyze the price and it's really important to talk about these numbers he used to analyze the prices and you he used to write down you know the most important levels counting candles and the price levels and he did Rice hit it with he did weekly he did daily over and over and over he kept finding Confluence in terms of Cycles in numbers of candles before the market turn around we will go through this in a second but these are the numbers that he found where are most likely to offer important pivots in the price action you know you should know that they should always be counted from major reversal points maybe a top or a local bottom it doesn't matter if it's monthly the weekly it it doesn't really matter what it is it's always the same the numbers are always working in the same kind of sequence so they are very important to know them so keep in handy write them down and start measuring your charts and your price action to these numbers these numbers in reality I'm going to tell you right now are more related to Fibonacci and quantum physics that any other thing in the world so many people claim that ichimoku uses 9 26 and 52 because of the trading hours in Japan and the trading days and the month which doesn't make sense because if the Japanese Trace until they trade until Saturday that means that six days a week time four weeks it's in reality it's 24 no 26 so I don't know where they get that number that stupid number and then you get 51 or 52 which are basically the weeks of the year and that's the composition for the ichimoku settings and I'm going to tell you right now that's just plainly wrong these numbers doesn't have they don't have anything to do with the trading hours of the day or the days a month on the weeks of the year they are mathematical progressions like I said more related to Fibonacci and actual um Quantum and physic equations that time itself so by default doubling this number to create the double settings for crypto because crypto is 24 hours is just plain and completely wrong it doesn't make any sense and it's like I said it doesn't it's not true so I'm gonna tell you show you with an example how wrong is this and the damage is going to do to your trading so many people the the person who created this was a person that I'm not going to mention on Twitter um from Twitter but he has been debunked several times at the beginning I used to follow him I tried the double settings myself for quite a bit of time I have the two clouds open at the same time and I realize with my own eyes where what were the short comments of using this ultimately I ditch the double settings and I kept the original ones because I realized they were better for the true system of ichimoku so I won't really dwell on that but it if your choice like any other trading system I'm not gonna tell you that it is right to use the 50 EMA of the use or to use the 20a or to use the 100 of to use you know the 10 and 20 combination you can just you can you just use whatever you want because that's what trading is about is finding your edge with the tools that you have available and you can modify them the thing is like if you think your ego is big enough to overcome a person a not a person a group of people who spend 30 years as starting candles because you think your settings are better then probably there's a little bit of a trouble with you and also I understand what that comments where that's coming from there's not a reliable source of information for ichimoku on the internet I almost had I had to learn like Japanese you know in a big part and use Google Translate and many things to find your original you know teachings so it's really hard to find you know the accurate information so I will gonna show you all of this in a minute and then the last one of this thing before we move to the Practical side of it it's how do I use it so ichimoku basically the market is going to have four types of movement each moku is either going to Trend to the upside it's going to train to the downside it's going to be in accumulation meaning it's going to basically let me show you to those of you who don't know the word accumulation means that it's going to accumulate for a little while to then break to the upside or it's going to be in a distribution when basically it's going to distribute for a little while and then break to the downside so these are the four type of movements that you will have for any kind of asset at any time at any point in time so you're going to where we're going to look at this in a second then we're gonna read about the chiku or lagenspan levels then the Kumo twist for the time and you know a couple more things so going into that let's get practical uh and we have Bitcoin right here oh wow that's a big shift on the light should have kept this black all right anyway this is better for me any questions so far and well I'd rather do that at the end let's just keep going because if if I start answering questions right now everything might go and you know towards another Direction so for those of you who don't know the the indicator you can see here right here on indicators you basically uh type let me show you here ichimoku and you will get the each marker Cloud you click that and ichimoko will open for you so you will see that this me these all these lines that we talk about so let's make them a little bit Bolder so it's easier for this is a conversion line or the tin can this is the kitchen or the Baseline chiku then we have the span a and we have the spam B and we have the kumu beautiful so I'm gonna tell you the first thing that I do with any asset that I look at it literally takes five minutes it doesn't take any more for you to know at which point on the price action any asset is so remember the when the price is above the Kumo and everything is above the price is bullish when the price is under is perish simple as that so remember the four type of movement so we have up down accumulation and distribution so right now with Bitcoin you can see that the market is trending to the upside it's in a bullish momentum however there's a few things that you should note as you can see here let's just go back in time a little bit let's just go back that's probably around here at this point see how weird the kitchen and the the tenken and the kitchen are out of the cloud that's a yes that we are on a bullish momentum and then the chico broke the kuma2 and we said yes we might start a bullish momentum we know we have a resistance up here because we can see the candles right so we know there's a resistance right there you can see that going little by little uh where is my tool wait a minute all right there you go now as we move forward there you go look look what happens here see both lines for the long term which is the span a and the span B they start to point to the upside as well as a short time frame which is a key gen and the short and the medium time frame which is the Ten can and the middle term frame which is the Keygen see at this point exactly at 13 800 ichimaku was already telling us that the price was going to move to the upside because the momentum was strong so that's exactly where you want to look for on a trend you then you click play and then the rest accessory see we move past that basically until 20K so we move seven thousand dollars from that point and it's just because and that's what you want to look for and what you want to follow so the lines here if they are pointing upwards they're going to tell you the momentum is strong if they are flat they're telling you the momentum is equilibrium if they're pointing down that means the momentum is drawn to the downside so those are the three options and you this is a short term this is a medium term and this is a long term as simple as that if so if we go to the monthly for example right now with Bitcoin well we'll see some of the dad in this moment see so we have here then the closer they travel together the more in equilibrium they are because they like to travel together if they get away from each other that means there's a lack of what we know about that because of what we talked at the beginning there's a lack of balance so when they are traveling together there is balance when they are not there is no balance and what happens when there is no balance the universe makes sure things go back to balance so you can see right here see when you have this conversion the key yarn remain above and this one went all the way down here so at this point the lack of balance was extremely massive so the price what the price does in two candles in two months basically it goes up to fill the lack of balance so the same thing happens right now so if the it's pretty simple look how far the price is like seven thousand dollars away from the short one which is the key the tenken so there are two ways where this came back in Balance one way is just to go down and meet the kitchen right there and that would be finding balance or the other way is just to start moving sideways and eventually this one will start to go up and they will have balance and once they have balance if we break under then we know this was an accumulation if we break upwards then we know this was I'm sorry this was a distribution if we break downwards if we break to the upside then we will know this was just a re-accumulation at which point of course we will have this one pointing to the upside domain and the bullet also and the bullish momentum is going to keep going now if we analyze the longer time frames the longer I mean the longer lines they're very clear so they are suggesting here that we might range for a little bit more while because the main line the the largest one which is a spam B has been flat throughout all this time which means Bitcoin it is an at equilibrium and it makes sense because for the past three years Bitcoin has been basically ranging between 20K and 3K we are in a range right now actually so until we break 20K or until we break 3K the price can still range throughout that period throughout those two prices and ichimoku is telling us that's on the long term because it's still flat however there's a little bit of a hand that this might turn to the upside this one is turned to the upside already so this is like let's call this a medium long term and this is a long long term so there's we are getting early suggestion we already know either way that we are on a bull Trend because everything is above the Kumo the chiku is above the Kumo everything is about the kuma but you can see that once is to point to the upside then it doesn't matter if you buy a 20K or if you buy a 25k you know the momentum is so strong that the thing is going to go up regardless so thus those are some of the things that you always need to pay attention to to mainly which way they are pointing to this one this one this one or this one remember long term mid and short term which is the direction they're pointing to and then the second thing you should pay attention is to it's how far they are traveling from each other so if we go back to the weekly see here for example they were both pointing up the price was close to them so this is a very strong momentum and it's going up however with this last push we had like three weeks ago from 15 to 19. look how badly the price went away from this and they are showing weakness see they are not pointing up anymore now they moving like a little bit to the sideways and the prices moving sideways So eventually like I said in Bull Trends we should expect the price to either Bounce from the tenken or Bounce from the kitchen so that's another thing when the price is above you're gonna have for res four supports the tenkan the kijon the spani and the spam B you break those four then you're in a heavy bird Trend basically so those are four places when you can look for bouncers and I'll show you the history of that in a moment so the other way this can come up to a balance would be moving sideways and then these lines eventually you know getting to balance this will go up this might be trading down if it still stays below here then this one will come up to and then the three of them will be together again like pretty much like it happened here see the price went to the upside got under but still follow that line and eventually the keys started to go up see kitchen goes up and the prices follow the tank and at this point in time they were almost the three of them were almost together and what happened after you can see the impulse it's it's pretty simple to see you let me let's take let's go to history a little bit back into history so you can see it clearly with an example so here there you go the beauty of ichimoku is this one ichimoku is the only system in existence right now the forecast some sort of information towards the future first of all second of all is based on the math of the universe the language of the universe when I refer to math of the universe I'm talking about quantum physics I'm talking about physics I'm talking about a theory of relativity there are they share a lot of numbers with the formulas of from Tesla for example and Vortex math so it's the only indicator that that does that and for that sense the most simple way to trade with ichimoku is this one you will how far along one hour okay perfect so you see here a good example price reach here breaks under the Kumo we have a bearish TK TK because a stinking and kitchen and the price starts a correction correction correction correction you don't need to buy here because you don't know if the price is going to keep falling down so you just wait then you can see here if you're proficient with the charts then you might have a hint that this might be a double bottom however look at this since the Kumo is forecasted towards the future you get their ideas early on at this point exactly at this point you can see how the Kumo was making a higher low this was an early sign that the trend could shift a little bit so you can buy here and maybe set a stop loss down there that but this is risky still you we don't know if this is going to touch the Kumo and then go down however like I said these are early early like the first signal let's mark this one as a potential by base on ichimoku right here exactly at this point in time which is basically the Scandal at 244 then you have a second clue the second clue would be this Kumo twist at this point the price is in the middle of the Kumo the future is uncertain we can definitely tap that Kumo and then go down from there however we get the kuma twist here the kuma turn green giving us the second signal that the things could get very interesting at this point right here then we get the third signal which is that price breaking above that Kumo at this point in time we know that chances of this charting a bull run are very very very close and are getting stronger but again you don't need to buy here if you don't want to take the risk and you want to trade safely and you're looking for a nice swing trade so you let's say you ignore this pie here then the price starts moving sideways and at this point in time you get three final things you get the chico which is the last line it is the lagging span see it lacks 26 candles to the back so it's a strong confirmation signal at this point in time the chiku lifts the Kumo which is a strong suggestion that we are going to start a bull train and at the same time as this exit of the lagging span happens you get the price bouncing from the kitchen here so those are all red flags that a bull run is coming so let's say you took the most conservative route and you just buy here which is exactly this Kumar this chiku or lagging span retest from this point forward all you need to do is just to let the price do a thing and you can see here as soon as we get out of the sideways or re-accumulation area ichimoku turns into a full ball mode the the Kumo points upward every single after every single accumulation the lines are traveling together as you can see for most of the part of the but this was not this could have not been any easier basically so you can see here do we get drops but the price always close above the kitchen so the price starts moving upwards and as soon as you move to the upside then you can let's take this out of here oh now that one sir let's take this one out of here this one so now once the price starts moving up you can move your stop loss at this point it will be already in profitless this is your entry and then the price moves see here bounces from the kitchen and it moves another one so you can now move your stop loss right there again bounces from the kitchen and it starts to move to the upside you do the same here you move your stop loss again impulse Keygen next move and you keep doing that you don't need to worry about when to sell it it you don't need it because the price is at a ball momentum you just gotta let things go until you start to see signs of weakness so you at this point after this Bounce from the tenken you're right already you already written this basically completely so what are the signs possible signs so like everything in life ichimoku I'm gonna tell you right now is the worst indicator to forecast tops and bottoms because when at the top at the bottom it looks the worst it could ever look and at the top it was the best that it will ever ever look as you can see at this candle both are traveling up kumoy's thing and pointing upwards there's no sign that this is going to be the top with ichimoku so ichimoku really sucks with tops and bottoms but to ride entire Trends which is where the most money in reality is because the sculpting forget about it you get massive money when you ride entire bull Trends so at this point basically what you have is the price just hanging around here you don't know if it's going to bounce from the key and it's going to keep going up then look at what happens it breaks everything and then at this retest you have a bearish TK cross basically the conversion line gets under the Baseline and that's your first sign your first red flag you can exit right there if you if you like so because you you're like okay this can still go down and then keep pushing up but I mean I made so much profit that I might get out here so the second place where you can possibly have another red flag will be the kuma twist you see a little bit after a while then we get the Kumo twist around probably here we get that common twist well actually it was like here and then you have another red flag which is the the tenken the kitchen and the price all getting under the Kumo so that's another exit Point probably when that happens and then the last one oh you have another one which is the chico here getting under the price that's an indication that the price is really really getting weaker because it's a lagging span remember it's the last one but it's the strongest one because of that reason so that's another exit point right here let me just Mark that no I mean right here oh it's the same one and then the last one is a chico break in the Como so you have here basically five if you are lucky enough to get out of the top because if you this is a weekly if we go to the Daily we would have seen this same action but way sooner on this small candle so there was a way to get out before but let's say there are only thinking conservatively conservatively oh my god um there are these four places so you can see how beautiful ichimoku is without having to analyze volume enemies cards you know crystal balls or anything and without most importantly without having any need to catching bottoms or even selling tops this trade alone based on the signals for Ichi could I have given anyone writing this from here anywhere from let's see here the most the the latest exit 1200 in profit then the next one Seventeen hundred percent the next one at the Kumo twist twenty three hundred percent and then as you get out here at the Kumo at the TK cross that's two thousand five hundred percent without doing anything and this is going to be true for everything in ichimoku it doesn't change this the rules doesn't change for any time frame for any asset however there are some things to consider when and I'm gonna talk about actually those in a second you see here when the price is clear like we had here breakout and it goes up and intense bull train you know the pro we know the price is turning up when the price is clear when it breaks and it goes down we know the price is running down when you start getting fake signals and it'll be easier to see this in smaller time frames but when you start to get fake signals like Kumo twists and such like you see here we got a red Kumo but we didn't get into a bear trend then we got a green Kumo and we didn't get into a bull Trend then we got a red then we got a green so all this is telling us that we are on accumulation or distribution it's basically what we saw on the monthly and we have a range that's it so this is what the price in terms of Cycles is doing right now it's pretty simple you can see it right there So eventually this either will break 3K and enter into a Bertrand after a long train accumulation distribution or it will eventually break 20K and get into a newble trend after a three year or four year or whatever is going to take a re-accumulation that's basically what it is simple as that we don't need to to go crazy so what this demands if it's just being patient enough we don't have to be always on a trade if you are careful if you are patient enough then you're going to be able to ride crazy Trends let me show you an example here with alts and the way they are right now I think um well let's use Ripple because it was last week I mean I call this one and you will see why I call this one well I did it on my group not on well yeah I think I did it publicly on Twitter so here what we have it's pretty easy now that you understand the signals of ichimoku see we go to a top we enter into a bird Trend and you can see how so reaction on the kitchen rejection on the Kumo rejection here than exactly at this formation see we start to see early signals which is a the Kumo making a higher low and then we got a common twist so I can see here and then we have a push right and then the price goes it got into the Kumo when he got into the Kumo again there is a sign that we might be on the verge of a potential Bull Run and then if you go to the smaller time frame let's go to the Daily you can see that even better in a better way so see when we are in the smaller time frame of course we get way many uh many more fake outs because the smaller the time frame the more deviations you are going to get in the price action but the bigger the time frame the more the easier it is to read them but on the daily you can see it here you know if you know on the weekly that this price action is inside the kuma so there's a potential just by looking at the uh the trend lines is easy to see if this is a possible place to enter and we have a trend line here probably Define something like that yeah probably around that and you can see if you start to get the first sign see the comma Now here turns green chiku tenkan kitchen out Chico out and then you can buy here you buy here it's 29 cents thing went to 80 cents so you almost did like three times your money right after the breakout so if you know what to look for then you can get ahead now what's the future for ripple well at this point in time we have everything we might want for a bull Trend the then you can see it here the Kumo screen then you have the Tank Engine you have the kitchen and the chico is out the worse it could happen I mean I'm not saying that probably this could get definitely help or it can definitely go down but now you know we have a hint of a bull Trend obviously we know they're going to be shakeouts we know the things are going to happen if you pair this with train lines and a few mostly train lines you will be able to see if we broke things or not um it is something that I definitely covered in the course but for I just want to focus here on ichimoku so this is this could be possibly the the Birch of a bull Trend so if you see the price now start to bounce in from the kitchen every single time then you know you're in a bull trend so if you get things get weaker by getting under the Kumo again then we will know in that case the most likely what we're doing is a re-accumulation and possible a longer term formation if you know about patterns and stuff like that so um let me see something else um that I one of the low ones I got into recently to show you I think I got into I don't know I don't have anything now in the top of my head I'll go because it's by alphabetical order see the weekly here is not telling me anything that n is what I said ichimoku it really sucks for tops and bottoms so basically the price here at the absolute bottom the conversion that the base is above the compression but you can see here early signs see look how high the base is and how low the conversion is so what this means is that there is a lack of there is no balance here basically between the price action and the momentum and what that means is that eventually that momentum needs to get you know uh fixed that price needs to get into balance it's the that's exactly what happened here Baseline conversion line the price is down down eventually boom into candles a rich balance that's another good opportunity to trade to this is what some people call C-clamp is when the both lines start to move in flat like this this is not flat this is pointing down so yes in that many many short might go down again but if both of them are flat and the price starts to move like this then you know that eventually the price is gonna in a violent way fine the equilibrium imbalance by shooting and pushing towards the upper one so that's a sign that things might be reaching you know a Tipping Point in this case for algol uh the trend line suggests that we might be building a in a longer accumulation pattern maybe a falling wedge maybe a flag or something like that um and then we would be but nothing still if you want to trade safely now if we go to the smaller time frame let's go daily oh things are different now see we got in on The Daily we can see here that this has more resemblance to a bottom formation we have this resistance which could be forming an inverse Head and Shoulders or yeah actually look it does look like an inverter and shoulders so now this is perfect to see it live see the kumas here it's making a a kind of higher low which suggests that better pressure is getting weaker then this is a bullish reversal pattern then this is getting see this is getting lower and this is kind of flat so it's suggesting that in the future we might have a common twist and also we just had ATK cross see now the compression went above the base so there's a lot of things going on here but on in all we have three suggestions that's these might go up to the upside so if you follow this then it's pretty easy all you need to do is just have your invalidation level so you're here you know this was the bottom in terms of the price action which was right here so you know if the price breaches this low or if you want to be safer probably this one though it signs it signifies most likely we'll get reaction here and then keep a deeper correction so this is probably a good place to set a stop loss uh probably between here and here but it is because it is a good bet I mean to go in right now so but you would be getting ahead of it that a get of the signals which means that it's riskier now if you wait a little bit for confirmation then we might do this like this then get out as soon as you have what I said they come across the price the tank and the kid you know and then lastly the chico which is getting above the price here then you can get in there and then just ride the trend so that's how you trade how you read Trend with ichimoku now there needs we we need let's go to bitcoin again we need to have a narrative in order to make the best possible prediction that we can in terms of suggestions I mean if you're trying to swing trade then it doesn't make any sense for you to be on the four hour or the one hour if you're up if you're aiming to have a swing trade so if you want to sculpt they doesn't make any sense for you to be on the two week so like you said at the beginning you have to know yourself in order to understand how you can trade the matter the the reality is is that you need to find a narrative be among ichimoku they need to be cohesive the weekly and the monthly and the daily and if you look at them carefully you need you will be able to see that so if we go to the monthly what do we know here we know that everything is bullish so this is a green Kumo it started to point upwards this is high too the chico is up here it is great however we see a lot of you know lack of balance between the price and the thinking and the key gen so we know that there is a chance that this could correct to the downside right now especially considering that we have basically tap a resistance so that's important so what's the what's the outcome on the monthly bullish with the possibility of a correction now if we go to the weekly we get the same thing so it is bullish hey we had a great run but remember what hosura said here right where where was it people like markets can't flourish or even success for long at behavioral extremes eventually all things go down and all things go up so the weekly is actually telling it's telling us the same bullish bullish bullish however there is a lot of gap between the tank and the kitchen and the price action we suggests we might have a correction now what do we know we know this is the resistance obviously because it's just the obvious resistance and then we know if we correct the price we'll probably find support at the at the token or at the kitchen and that would be a logical place to buy if you're careful of course if we break those levels then we know there's going to be support at the Kumo if we fail that one we know with it's going to be support here at the other end of the kuma and if we break that one then we know we're probably going to enter into a heavier deep and nasty bare momentum but I don't think it's going to happen right now because the monthly is suggestion we're going to the upside so what do we get here on the weekly upside with a possibility of a correction now let's move on to daily and you start to build your network narrative see here perfect nothing nothing crazy but again early signs this is still making higher highs so it's good this one is getting flat which means that the momentum could be reaching a Tipping Point and now look see the prices moving sideways and that's allowing the kitchen to catch up to the second so if this sideways momentum keeps pushing on eventually what's going to happen is that this the price is going to drop and we could have a bearish TK cross that means the 10 can getting under the kitchen and if that happens that would be a suggestion that the trend might reverse what would be the wisest thing to do just to wait to sell your Bitcoin I mean if this happens the best that could happen if Bitcoin goes down to 11k then you can buy it in there or if the price bounces from the Kumo here or the Kumo here at the worst case then you will able be able to scalp a little bit more Bitcoin we use selling your money here like I said you don't need to sell the top or buy the bottom all you need to follow is a trend and for that specifically to find Trends there's nothing like ichimoku absolutely nothing beats ichimoku because that's it is a system that you can always rely on always always it doesn't matter so that's one that's that's the first thing that I see when I go to Ichi I go to anyone has a suggestion for a coin that it's wondering if it's a good investment or not right now well I just keep doing this because I need to prepare this for the next the second way into which I use ichimoku singles all right let's go with that one so singles Bitcoin what do I have here all right let's go to the weekly it's too long to wake singles here is just at the bottom of hell and even though it might be a good return to buy here I mean it's absolutely not a single clue or thing suggestion any other than this lack of balance that this could find bottom here so I would just ignore it simple as that it's still very bearish now like I said remember about equilibrium if this keeps moving sideways eventually it will cross the the conversion and perhaps the key young will be here and if we break this one then we will be talking about something else and we might be on the start of a bearish movement of a bullish momentum see it's like I said we don't need to risk by buying a bottom when we can buy a confirmation and a confirmation is a confirmation so we have that and it's simple simple it just gives you what's the best idea to wait or to or just simply to what is what is this way give me one moment I think I move oh yes I move my window Perfect all right so this is what um how I use Ichi with that let's see another one link USA that way the more you practice this the more you will be able to see it so in terms of Link let's go to the Daily the weekly right so we have a really nice we can see a pattern this is a a rectangle right here we broke that this is logarithmic right of course it is I don't like logarithmic at all all right so you can see the signals here well although there was no Kumo there but let's go to the Daily perhaps we're going to have it I bought um Link in August of 2018 and I'm going to show you why foreign see it right here um I had my trend line right there no August where is August right there see I have my train line right here this is a start of Link then I follow this I bought this trend line and Kuma breakout for a moment I was into a profit then this is basically a ShakeOut a fake push to the downside it will obviously take your stop loss if you are too tight on that however you can see that the price was not allowed to make a lower low so either way I was skipping this one for the long term so I completely ignore that and you can see that after that ShakeOut here you can see what happened see it just kept going on a bullet train of course there's a little bit more of shakeouts because of the time frame here but you can see what I meant this is what Bitcoin is basically doing right now see bearish momentum then bullish then bearish then bullish so actually as a matter of fact this right here it's very similar to bitcoin right now I never noticed this this is the first time I say this this is so funny so you can see we can do this and still be bullish see a this is 20K 3K 13k then covet the 4K dump then we might be here a 19k and then we might do a double top you know go to for 3K again and then go like this and break full bullish because what all of these Kumo twists are a suggestion it's one of those two things that I mentioned we are either on a distribution to break to the downside or on a re-accumulation to then break to the upside as simple as that so if we go to the weekly what is link saying on the weekly so link on the weekly we're getting mixed signals again so we bullish bullish bullish went under we had a bearish tank and Keygen cross here but now it's gone and the Kumo is still green so this is suggesting that basically we have a range and we might be here for a little while so it'll be like this most likely its link is able to stay above seven dollars then most likely we will have you know red Kumo then green Kumo and eventually break to the upside because this was a re-accumulation now on the other hand if it's not able to maintain seven and then it goes under the Kumo and this is gonna turn red and it points downwards and then the chico gets under the price then we know we might be getting into a bearish momentum for a deeper correction so I mean not not saying right now because this is very preliminary and very early but it's a possibility both are a possibility especially after this kind of Bull Run so that's basically how you do it um and how you're rated so I hope that's clear with Ichi if you have any more questions about this I'm answering I will answer them uh the end like I just want to go through the rest of the ways that I use Ichi because there are two very important ones so first one what's going on here oh come on all right lagging span levels let's go back to bitcoin I'm gonna show you how powerful math is and especially whole soda system so I'm gonna turn off the price here and every single line line where the lagging span there you go that's the lighting spam so this was basically the bull run in 2016-2017 I'm just going to see what are the key levels here according to this thing so we have this one this one uh this is another one for sure you can see here that this one was support for briefly and then was resistance so definitely something there then you can see there's another one right here you see support breaks it becomes resistance then there's some definitely one here you can see resistance support and the price really use this one as a a an important level then you get this one is probably a minor one there you go you have another one here see Bounce from there and then bounce from here and then you have uh another one there and another one at this level which is basically between here and here I just want you to pay a lot of attention to this price action because actually um I can't consider this I can only consider this so I'm gonna mark this one and this one now I'm just using the movement of from this levels right here thank you right this period of time and now I'm gonna turn off Ichi and I'm gonna open the price action and you'll see how the price really attends to the Past action nothing very few things are going to give you very very important support levels like ichimoku will do because it is based on a mathematical progression in a mathematical progression in particular that really respects the price and for the most part everything that you know of so you can see right there this one was the bottom right there the action that was the top the candles were not able to close above that level this was on the dot right there from 2017 the top right there you can see the price action there rejection here the same way here bottom bottom I mean it even here we trade briefly for a moment about that one then out of nowhere we went down and then we broke it again you see breakout retest breakout retest on the dollar a few days ago and now we are kind of breaking the next one but obviously this is a weekly we'll be we need to see where the Scandal is going to close and we will know that like until three or four more days so we need to wait where to see where this one closes however if it closes above 18 975 it's going to be very important because I could suggest that the next candle could retest the level and then push higher so that's even though we're a resistance it's something definitely to consider and that's how I also use ichimo the chico for major major levels you have no idea how critical they will be uh let's do it with f for example with USD which is moving right now let's do the same exercise so from the past you know there's another one here one here people really I don't know why people don't pay attention to the chico so this one we can say probably between these two um we have kind of this one right here I'm just gonna use the middle because it seems like to be the middle ground then this is by itself this one is important for sure and then there's this little thing right here and now I can shut this off and then turn this back on and you can see right there see this was a resistance for a very long time and now we broke it and we haven't retested that and you can see that we're finding resistance exactly at 5.95 so what that means that what is what is this that if we go down in a reaction here then most likely 461 is going to be a very strong support why because we took like two years to break that level and that's where we should expect to buy just by telling the chico history and you can take this one also to the smaller time frames you can go I don't know for the daily for example and look what happened in the past so you can see right here by using these movements you can see that right there should be the support because you see it was stopped several times and you can see with the price bounce then you can build your way down you can see there's a touch here there's a touch here so that's going to be another level another key level and then obviously all this cluster F of in of action right there and then right here and in the same like more like around there and you have immediately just by using the chico three key levels and you know the price is going to bounce every single time for me now whether they bounce a lot like this or they bounce a little to then break it down nonetheless they're going to be good trading opportunities because you know they're going to be stronger levels now in terms of The Upside see this is daily but if we go to the Past and we plot a few of these lines in 2017 then we can see here we have another one right there and we have another one right there this one is mayor right here see curve point point point point and let's just put this one here yes because see we have these four levels from the top itself not by analyzing the price but the chico itself following the math of hosura now if we go forward to the future you see oh I was gonna say yeah we brought no these if we ever go again towards those levels you will know which levels are going to be the ones that are going to offer resistance in the same way that I did here whether they offer a little bit of resistance to retest and then push higher or they offer a heavy resistance to start a new bird Trend they will offer great trading opportunities so that's another way that I use ichimoku and it's very very very good uh to for key levels and that's something that we are definitely need to keep an eye on because it will help us determine along with other things whether the train is strong or weak so we need to reset the settings here and then I'll move on to the next one a this is a very Nifty trick that I learned from the creators grandson itself um he's on Twitter I always forget his name but the amount of information that he is sharing with the world is amazing sadly is in Japanese so it's not very easy to translate but this is the one when you are on uh let me just make this folder again let me see mm-hmm there you go so when you are on a downtrend and you have a Twist on the tank and the key again let me get rid of the Kumo because I wanna focus on this there you go when you get a Twist here that usually defines the 50 the maximum balance of the price action so if you measure that in theory you will have the 50 of any potential impulse which means that's going to be a strong resistance or a strong support so you do it like this this is another cool cool trick that came up by reading him and observation and I tried it many many times so it definitely works so let's say you're here all right and we move there you go and you we are right there at this point the trend it's it's very bullish we're breaking these major resistance right here it's clearly clear very clear to see we're breaking this resistance and we just need to double this because by Theory and the candle counts this is a 50 equilibrium when they cross so if you duplicate this that means that two things they are going to be this is going to this level here the the 50 plus the 50 it's going to be a strong resistance so two things are going to happen if we touch this the price is either going to correct it's from that level or if we break it then that means that this level is going to become a really strong support so right now if the price were to correct soon you know that 12 290 it's going to be a really strong support because you can see what happens here it moves it moves it moves see we tap the level and immediately we get a strong rejection because the price look at that see that was a beautiful trade it was off but you could have taken that short from 12 300 to 12 400 so basically a hundred dollar move above that level but then look at that short and then the price goes to the 10K see what you expect this is the first line of defense so either the price bounces from here or it bounces from the key in because there's a lot of lack of equilibrium here however you know that they we could be tapping basically this breakout here simple as that so when you click play again look at what happens after and you were able probably to take this really nice short of a 15 move to the downside so you click play and then we get a reversal and then boom we get our breakout finally so what this means is that this level just became a really really strong support so you click play there and you see what happened after that it's bye bye Bitcoin meal off you go to heaven so you will get with that little trick that basically I never seen it anywhere the only person what I got this from was from Whole soda itself so I never seen anyone using this before or sharing this information that's why it is really critical but it will give you also very important key levels especially on the big time frames that's what's great about ichimoku when whenever you have a trade a an asset you know basically the it it's called pin it's going to give you nice money but the biggest biggest wealth you could ever get is by holding and riding bull Trends so basically you want to get in here and then you want to get out there or in the future top but this is what you want to do so remember you're going to get either a top or a strong support afterwards or on the other hand we're going to get a Target or a strong resistance so let's try here and you'll see how amazing this is so at this point look where we are this is going to be crazy I know for a fact so we click the top and we measure the 50 of this possible trend what this is suggestion is that the price is going to be in equilibrium am I in logarithmic no it's going to be an equilibrium around 1722.

90:02 so that would be either a Target or a resistance as you can see here the price never got to that area but because we know it bounced from 3K however if you dissect this let me just do that wait [Music] if you dissect this into halves probably from here to here you can start to see how the mathematical progression can definitely give you really key levels because now you can start to see possibilities for important places by just having having because remember it's this is always just following a mathematical pattern in this case we never got to 17 you can see by having that we can get really close to the to to to to this level like everything it not all it doesn't happen all the time but it happens a lot so let me see in this case because I haven't tried this in a long time I mean from this pass there you go yeah something like that ah this magnet so in this in this case you can see the doubling of this level here reach almost towards this level that became resistance and once we broke it it became a strong support and actually we bounced from that level several times until we broke it and then we went we went down then we have a crazy movement here with Bitcoin because of Kobe this would it doesn't belong here at all so it messed up a little bit The Itchy and everything but you get the idea with the measurement and you can do it I mean you know four hour one hour it doesn't matter it always helps with targets um in this case for example you measure here from this movement to where the kuma Twisted right here and if you put it under you can see the price bounce exactly from that level so when the movements are yep yeah it could be there there are other factors I know exactly why I got to three it has to do with probably Fibonacci and the balance of the price itself that's why it bounced from 3100 but sometimes like I said these rules like everything in trading and everything for the most part in life are there are no readings done sometimes they can change so and sometimes they are not they're not fulfilled as you can see here perfectly the 50 percent just tap that Target exactly but with movements this fast sometimes there's no time to reaction you can see this twist happen after the bottom itself but when the movements are slow then you have a really nice time to get there so in this case it wasn't like that so if you measure from here to here the kuma twist you can see this candle was still here so if you duplicate that you can see that pretty short after this candle you could have gotten a nice move from 18 100 all the way to 19 100 so it's a thousand dollar move and then actually it broke it it broke it see it become it became resistance resistance I mean support support and now we broke it and look what has going on right now it's resistance resistance resistance so this is definitely a key level right now if the price really wants to keep pushing to the upside at this moment it really needs to clear this level in order to keep building momentum to the upside otherwise we know that this is going to be a really real key level for the price action and you know you can see how the tenken and the key on is playing crazy right now but we're in a small time frame so that can happen definitely so that's another way I use the chiku um I mean the crosses to measure that and then this is a close one of them all if we go to the Daily let's go to the Daily one second it's one of my favorite ones because it involves time and you can let's just go to defaults there you go now check this out you we don't know when things are going to happen but Ichi can give you some ideas and those ideas are going to come in the form of Como twists suggests and since the kuma forecast towards the future Kumo twist suggests that there might be inflection points in the future you can see here what I'm going to do is I'm going to circle every single comma twist this is something that I always have my eyes on and it's actually the best and easiest way to forecast time that I have well the easiest one is the wp pivots from my system but I always looking for Confluence between these pivots and my system and the one I created so you see here the come on The Daily we had one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twist Kuma twists and now I'm gonna turn off Ichi and I'm gonna turn on the price and you will see here what happens so this right there local top before it went down this right here bottom this one right here double bottom this one right here it was close enough to this local Top push probably a little bit further than it had to but this one right here is a breakout of this small accumulation after Kobe this one right here does the local top this one right here is exactly what the trend started this one right here again exactly where the trend started and this one right here probably defined this little local top and right now so far we don't have any more common twists in the future see Kumo twists by itself they will give you important time stores the future and it will happen to any asset and any time frame so for example look what's going on right now this is very interesting because we have a Kuma twist exactly on December 28th or as we can see maybe here December 25th one of these two candles see so considering the fact that we have been basically going up for what um 12 candles already then I would say that if we don't break key levels right now and this keep moving sideways there's a strong chance that we're going to get a pivot or a reversal around this time obviously I know these are two key major pivots because of my system right now I know December 21st and the 28th are important pivots so if we take Ichi back to the Oriental settings it's pretty easy we have a possible reversal here throughout this time or on these two dates and we have uh key levels here one from the tenkan and one from the kitchen so if we ever about if we correct around those that time then we're probably going to find you know support around that area and that's an opportunity that we might have for an Eye short it would be a probably you know a 20 to 30 short that would be a really really nice profit even with a low leverage or maybe it's a good opportunity to sell your spot back and then you can buy lower so on in all it's a good bet it doesn't see it and it still goes with the bullish momentum because the price going down here and bouncing from the kitchen and the tanka is still considered something bullet it's still considered something bullish or me maybe if we fall down and tap those levels then this Kumo twist could represent a continuation to the upside but you know they say it is going to be important now if we go to the monthly we have a lot of common twists we know important dates see November here was a common twist and look at what happened November was the candle that actually broke this trend line right here you see that's the common twist right there and after that Commodities we basically had a move a 10K move so we have now uh October of 2021st we have another one of March 2022 and we have another one on November 2022 so you know those are dates that you can look forward to in terms of important momentums for the price action maybe it is a break of a major resistance or maybe it reaches the top and it goes down from there or maybe it just goes to to you know to the moon and then it goes down and then maybe here we find a bottom at a potential future correction and then from there we continue the movement it depends on the on the context of the movement that the price is having but nonetheless important dates to keep an eye on or in if we go to the small time frames let's say the hour right now there you go you have a couple twist right here and well we have kind of one here green red green yeah like around this period between the fourth and the fifth of the four yeah around the fourth so see this is a this is a possible period of for a reversal so what do we know here we know that we have this top and we have this bottom so we have kind of this range Define defined right now because in terms of patterns I mean this is very complicated there's nothing that we can really see here or Define as a pattern so we have double tops we have this weird dump and then this double bottom and then this push to the upside in the same way so it's all messed up but you have a range and now we have C green red green this can turn red and this is very um you know a classical of a re-accumulation so I would definitely keep an eye on this because if we keep moving let's say we can move in like this like this like this if we reach this level and the indicators look a little bit weaker then I'll say there's a chance that this corrects towards this area again possibly or maybe towards the Kumon list now if we go down from here and we start getting that tapping.com a lot then this Kuma twist could represent also a breakdown in that case you can see also how the chico helps see on this movement to the downside you can see how the chiku stayed above the kuma in Never Close under so the Kumo in this case offer resistancy that's always that's why it is always important to keep an eye on this thing right here and as you can see yeah this is the same so that's another really really cool idea to pay attention to which is possibly like I said dos Kumo twists are very important so the you can do this for a scalps it's beautiful beautiful you can see right here the the same signs so you see probably that this was an ascending triangle right there you can see probably a sign here I have a higher low comma twist so we can enter here safely and then just put a stop perhaps below the kitchen right here which is really flat and then you can just follow that follow that as soon as you see a weakness you can you can close there you can close here and then you had a nice ride remember it's just about those little profits I mean in terms of at least on Leverage and small movements even what I used to do when I started starting this really in depth like in back in 2016 I used to go a lot to the five and the three minute and that helped me a lot to understand how ichu behaves because of course there's a lot more deviations on this small time frame but the but the actual action it's always similar so you can see here for example this perfect double top and then when you get the bearish 10 kind of vertication cross then you get that dump so that's another good opportunity for a short scalp so because you know that if the price goes above these candles you know that probably is going to continue to the upside on the other hand if we follow the bearish Tankian cross here we're gonna have a dump so I mean it's a very good way to accustom to how Ichi reacts to the Kumo to find patterns because also the price is very very fractal in nature so usually for example this is really cool when you see a head and shoulders on the weekly if you go to the Daily you will see it too if you get it to the to the 15 minute you will see it too if you go to the five minute you will see it too so the price usually behaves in a fractal way so that's why it has that ability to keep the balance in its Cycles so Jupiter inside are in closest alignment on December 21st since 12th yeah I read that that's going to be something important in terms of astrology definitely and no doubt about that so let me see what else I'm missing here so oh and something I've been you know I was reading this will literally happened a couple weeks ago I was reading about this guy let's go to probably something that's very low um I don't know let's try hot USA I don't know what it is right now yeah there you go look see this is very very very interesting right here because very train here the Chica was not able to break that price for a long time and it went under the comma so fake there fake there and then look at this we got this low in we bounce here a higher low so that's a first higher low since the downtrend started and what do we get you get it already a green Kumo price out of the Kumo Chico about to get out of the Como how are we having a bearish TK here so something to be careful it definitely so yes I'm we might go down to do this from here before we break to the upside but it has really good signs here so but recently I saw a video on YouTube of a guy you know using the 50 and 100ma so you can see it right there so let's see let's do a blue one for the 50.

105:57 and let's do 100 I mean this is where very weird and it's conventional I don't like lag indicators like momentums but I mean it is what it is it's it sometimes it helps so his theory is that when you get a 50 over 100 above the kuma like is actually happening here is a very good indication that a good momentum can start so we have to go back to the path so you can see here in this case it happened below the Kumo in this case it happened below the Kumo in this case also below the kumu so like here it's happening well yes it's on the common too but they are not bad especially considering that you can see how the price bounces from that area too like I said this is experimental I've been tested with it testing that but it's not bad at all to to to have a momentum you can see here yeah this is this was great see the cross happened exactly above the kuma when the price was here at eight thousand dollars and you can see that it was never under that level again and it was never actually under the kuma again it is still strong there if we fall we're probably gonna find some support on that 100ma so what that means is like once if we ever turn this around if that happens and they Pawn down and the kuma points down then most likely we're going to be entering into a bearish momentum however we want the sideways because we want alts to Moon um right now Bitcoin had this moment let's see this is another um like I said thing that I've been experimenting with and I think it's interesting oh I need to talk about that double Kumon so you can see here let's go back to bitcoin and let's go back to the weekly and let's now take it here I'm gonna show you exactly what happens with the double Kuma I don't even know the settings anymore but I believe they are 20.

108:11 disguise and in what 60. and 120 I believe if I'm not mistaken or something like that or 100 I don't remember I don't really care but it's something similar to that so there you go you have that and let's just let's just let's just keep yeah let's keep everything there you go so with this kumu you get the safest confirmation of them all here because the chiku breaks the Kumo and then it goes up from there so right here at 377. now I'm gonna turn this off and turn this on with this one you get into a bearish momentum the price goes up goes up goes up so you get a real Kumo twist with the cheek going out around this is the first one this is the second around this level which is uh six hundred dollars so that's a hundred double that level now in terms of exit points the First Signal here for the exit happen right which is a comma twist right here happen when the price was right there at seven thousand dollars and in this case this one happened this Kuma happened on this candle at 11 000 so you can see if that is your trade the safest route with ichimoku then with the one the conservative profit was 2900 and with the other one the pro the profit was 30 percent of that or a third of that so that's it that's what you get in reality with that double Kuma which in reality doesn't serve anything else that you need to find with Ichi the only thing that you will get it with Akuma with the double settings are basically two things one you're ditching the 30 years that guy spend starting the candles to find these numbers for you and then second of all you're going to get delay signals and they're going to be delayed because of course the command just doubled in numbers so the signals will happen after that if you use the original settings so that's the only real thing that you're really getting with the double Kuma basically so I definitely recommend that you don't use it if if you still feel that some way somehow it can help you then it can definitely help you I mean you can build an edge with it but I mean it's just do what I did just I for a while I had something like this like around 2016 December November October my coupons were like this and I was thoroughly looking at them you know watching then one thing I stuck with stuck with that I start with one thing for a while too I realized that we had a really strong um signal when the Kumo with the red when the regular Kumo breaks the double Kumo so you can see it right here right here see exactly the original Kuma breaks the double Kuma it's exactly when the Price Is Right here at 500 600 yeah well it's the same in this case and for the short it would be getting under around here and for the commode yeah it's the same yeah that's probably why I did it didn't really get me any Edge now that I remember but yeah I mean nothing really there to probably if if it means anything is that the momentum is really strong so as you can see here this is what happened after we break that Kumo and we just have we just had that happening exactly right now which the only thing that it means is that Bitcoin it's extremely strong and is most likely starting a new bull Trend now like I said um 20K and 3K is still the range so before we break that we can still go down a pretty hefty level because if we can go down and retest akumo and the price will still be bullish so the price goes down here bounds from the kumana crazy capitulation to 8K and then from there it can break and definitely go up so the fact that it is extremely bullish doesn't mean that we cannot have a few checkouts uh before we reach higher levels that's why we always need to be careful and follow the signals [Music] um so let me see what else um I missing here so just to recap we have a the study of it is the first thing that I do that I when I go to any asset for example let me try something else outside of crypto let's say I don't know Shopify I read something about it today so I go to Shopify I go to a time frame that makes sense that it doesn't have a lot of noise and you can see it right there see it's a great momentum um it's it's a bull train price is bouncing from the kitchen now look at what happened here see when we reach this top look how far the price was from the tenken and the kitchen however since the price is moving sideways that is giving the tank and the opportunity to catch up to the price instead of the price catching up to the thinking so this is an example that I can say so what we can see here is that we're probably having some sort of re-accumulation or a distribution whatever it is we cannot probably we're going to have something like this and then push upwards or eventually break down and push downwards but first of all the ten can and the key young will have supports one of the other options that we can have would be this one moving like this and that means this one catching up so if the price gets And Trades around there and it gets like this then you know there's a lack of balance So eventually when that happens a famous C-clamp the price attempts to find equilibrium very soon so that's another thing but on in all we know we are on a bull Trend um SPX recently in March because of covid say beautiful example of how Ichi Works bullish momentum we enter get out of the Kumo everything bullish green Kumo Chicago which is spider we don't need to get the bottom or the double bottom or whatever we just need to trade this safe confirmation you see bull Bounce from the kitchen keeps pushing up Bounce from the tin can then we have this massive one but still bounces from the kitchen so remember we have four lines for support and defense the tenken the key gen Spanish or the Kumo now the worst one that happened was after coveted and look at that bounce exactly from the kuma from the spam B of the kuma right now what do we get long term both are pointing up this one is getting a little bit wider short term so yes we're going up midterm suggests we're going up so there's no reason to think that this may stop right now but again don't forget this that I said Ichi is terrible for tops and bottoms because the signals are always beautiful at the absolute top so something definitely to be careful with do we have a common twist that we can say oh you know this might be a pivot not on the monthly if we go to the weekly let's see oh look at that we had a pivot like in these two candles so I don't know if it's here trading views is messing up see we have a pivot right here and what do we get on that candle exactly a breakout of this clear resistance so at this end with this with this and this and this what do we know the most likely the schema twist was a pivot in time that brought a breakout of that resistance so what we should expect is the price to keep pushing to the upside is what ichimoku is telling us basically at this point simple now um oh I think this is a good example also for the Target uh see here so this is going to be the Target and a strong support and that's it that's what happened see as soon as the price broke above it of course we have like a mini ShakeOut here and another ShakeOut here that was never able to close Thunder but on and all that seems to be a strong support right now and now things are becoming even more bullish as we can see here so it it will help you with any type of trend on an amazing way that no other indicator can to be honest um if you you know pay attention to those things that I mentioned it will definitely help you instead of chasing green candles and being worried about stuff like Bitcoin then you can take the money you can put into Bitcoin and go to something like Litecoin for example go like this and voila what are you what do we have here it would be possibly the most beautiful start of a train that we can know of we have a long-term double bottom most likely we have a trend line here that clearly it's very close very close to be broken now we have a green twist pointing a little bit to the upside the price is about the tank and the key Young when breaking the kumas we speak and the chico is attacking the Kumo so does it really matter if you buy at 89 or at 59 doesn't really matter because most likely this is going to start a bull trend that's it the worst case scenario now there's a word of caution here oftentimes when we have the breakout of the Kumo here and the chico here two things are going to happen either we're going to enter into a bull train right away or some of the other things that I have seen in the past but it doesn't happen that often only a few times price goes up and then he gets back under the kuma but it never reaches a lower the lower price that we had before it goes a little bit higher and then it gets out of the Kumo again and then it's when it started the bullet train so for this you will have to probably State on that smaller time frames for better signals but on and on this one looks great right now so instead of chasing Bitcoin that things like we developed tunnel vision that it's basically right here this is Bitcoin Bitcoin is at 400 at this at this moment it's right there so you can get into something like this and just write the bulltrend I mean if it comes which most likely it'll come because it's it's just a major cap and it's probably lagging Bitcoin so you're getting the signals right there so this is a weekly if we go to the three day um I mean it's it's looking good we got um breakout here come on screen pointing to the upside this one too and this one is a nice action now if you want to play with a 50x leverage then this might be a little bit risky because I mean this can still have a ShakeOut and go here and bounce from that level and you can get liquidated or stop at a very bad loss but if if it's you're looking for a spot buy then remember it's not about getting bottoms and tops it's just about trading smart so the buy area as far as I can see it was Pro it is probably here and you want to probably a way to sell either the previous stop or if it goes into a really really nice bull Trend then into a higher top so that's a the main rule Buy Low sell high and Ichi it's uh beautiful for that now the monthly we can go to the monthly onto the monthly and see what what what's were we getting and see the monthly is very telling because this is another role that I haven't talked about we are breaching the Kumo the thing is like it is not close yet oh no actually the kuma is this one okay so the commons probably would be all of this you see we should be getting reaction here at the kitchen but instead we broke it and we're kind of finding support and you can see how the conversion line is kind of almost going up so what we have here is an opportunity for the price to go and reach the Kumo and perhaps get a reaction there so it's it might be an opportunity for a good trade from 79 to 140 dollars 100 profit or if we even break this one we could go to that edge of the kuma so this is another rule that we need to talk about I I can see I'm getting a message but I'll answer in a second um let me see all right my friend thank you for coming take care so you can see here remember the kumas are always going to give us crazy supports and crazy resistances important I mean not crazy so you can see here on the top of 13k is because of the chico was not able to break the Kumo so you always pay attention to the chico will it will tell us things that could be of importance and relevance you can see here in it bounced from that Kumo it was around this time so there was another opportunity there um when the price enters the kuma I don't know any um any coin by memory comp I believe comp was one hmm let me see yep there you go usually when the price enters the Kumo we get what we call h2h and this is very common with hmoku it is a uh um it is a risky bet but it usually happens it happens a lot when you when the kuma when the price breaks the Kumo if it bounces from it and it's a strong break out of the Kumo is usually quickly goes to the edge of the kuma so that's usually a good trade you can see here it tap since it got reaction then it quickly went to the other Edge and since from this bounce here we now went to the other Edge and it's basically in ping pong here until it breaks either to the upside in storesable momentum which is a suggestion that we're getting or we go under and we keep the bearish moment one of the two but this is another good opportunity especially when we have massive kumas because in 2017 for example I don't um here see in this case it never happened we broke bonds from it and it was a good trade opportunity however he never reached the area because of course that's a very very big pump and we need a strong fundamental or at least a good um catalog Catalyst for this move and in this case it didn't happen but in 2017 it happened a lot because the Cycles were mostly out of the accumulations and when once they entered that Kumo it reached the other edge of the kuma bear and usually often happens very quickly so that's also another one of the tricks to pay attention to the h2h in terms of the Kumo so I think I think that should be it in terms of the basic things and how Ichi helps me trade I think um that's a lot um to take in but it's helpful it's definitely these what I'm telling you right now is some of the things that I learned early and some of the things that I discover over the years while researching the audience of ichi but only with the initial things it definitely changed my Edge Ichi and 2016 and 2017 helped me made a lot of money and it helped me actually I made a lot of mistakes that afterwards by analyzing the Ichi and the cloud and all of the lines helped me Define that hey this was not ready to enter this was not ready to to get out or this was definitely a cell here or this and that so if you practice you keep following this kind of nice to recap we have uh the trend the state of the train in terms of ichi if it's go if it's going up or down or it's in accumulation or is in a distribution basically then we have the chiku for the price levels right it's very important also we have the chico for confirmation of movements um you see pay attention if it you know is not able to breach the kuma and stuff like that then we have the 50 percent a role for from the from the tenken and the key you cross from the TK cross is what we call it for short so you measure that again here so the bottom you need to find a strong reversal so the bottom to the 50 percent and then we duplicate that and that should be either a strong resistance and if it breaks that it's a strong support and you can see that it was a strong resistance dump once it broke it it became a strong support and from then the price went up so that rule is something very very important and then you get last but not least are the kuma twists the kuma twists offer very key dates [Music] that could present twists oh my God The Cure represents shifts on the trend as you can see here for example this schematrist was this local top this one right here was the local top before the dump this one let's see there's another one this one right here was the start of this train and we are about to face another one on between the 28 and the 21st and that's definitely one to pay attention to uh if we go to the weekly we can see if we have a Confluence there and we do actually see we have a small action here between the 21st and January 4th it's a tiny one but still an interaction of the Kumo and what do we get here um on this two is actually right there we had April 15 which was before the major move and then after that we're gonna have another one right here on June 21st so maybe perhaps perhaps after all this time Bitcoin here it's maybe it's going to decide to take it easy for a while and you can see we have a level here in the tenken and we have a lever here in the kitchen so probably this is going to be the area where perhaps we can set some bits for any future movements to the upside because ichimoku is strong also on the two week see now the price the tank and the kitchen the Kumo the chico everything is out and pointing upwards so that means we are at a strong momentum [Music] um and what else well I think that should bid um so let's get into some of the oh I wanted to well if some of you are um interested basically um let me have like a few more minutes well you know what let's go to the questions first I don't I want to keep you fresh um if you what do you guys think any questions something like you might have doubts um I don't know to read the trance and there's some stuff anything that you might want to talk about or something Cloud higher highs can you show again Cloud higher highs what do you mean higher highs higher lows oh yeah at the bottoms is you should it's the first first first first indication of something that something could be Brewing you in this case you get it here see we had this right there and then you see the level actually bounce the price Bounce from that it never went under so this making a higher high well this is on the day level let's go to the weekly to normalize this a little bit more right there see so if we consider that this is 26 periods away from the cloud right so that means that this happened right here so at this point in time this candle right here we were getting a higher low on the cloud then we got the Kumo twist so this this higher low here which is exactly at this point suggest that there is a chance that this downtrend could be over and it's a risky because it's not a confirmed move a listen term of each remember you need the Green Cloud the price the tank and the kitchen the chico everything above the kuma but it's not about bet so if you were to buy around that level when we had this higher low it would have been 19 cents so to the top was basically almost 300 in profit you needed to do was just follow the signals when I'm when you're in price Discovery Well no if you're in price Discovery probably no because it's um it's coming from the bottom so if you it's going to tell you stronger supports so let's say we go to the monthly let's say the monthly here we see we have this one right there so the common you see the TK cross you see the tenkang went above the key unit exactly right there so we duplicate that for the 50 and we're getting that in this case in the monthly the strong resistance was that which makes sense see here and see here so we broke retest and boom off we go but after this the only thing that we know is that 13 169 should be a strong support right now which makes sense because if the price were to correct that would be pretty much similar to the place where the tanken is right now and that's the first line of defense so it makes sense either way that's a strong support but in terms of price Discovery I mean it's I'm gonna tell you right now that mathematically the prices are going to be related so you can just grab this and just keep duplicating you can put it on top there and that's going to be a key level why because it's just how the price works it's it's fractal in in the price the price the price is always a mathematical fractal so you know 22 500 is going to be a key price but I mean this would just be having a an idea it would be not an actual you know measurement from ichimoku so if you are in a price Discovery you will have to probably go to different methods in order to analyze uh you know higher levels um possible levels of resistance so what about this number on the time price tables well um let's take a look at them just try them on the let's go to the weekly so the pivot let's go with the major one which was well in this case now we went above this one so the last pivot the major one was the bottom so let's just Define this one as the last major pivot that we had right so we go to those numbers again and 9 17 26 33 just pay attention to them that's that's how you use them pay attention to those numbers in theory so nine it's right here it doesn't do any I mean still moving sideways but I believe it was a candle that broke this little diagonal here then it was the other one seventeen seventeen back here 33 33 was uh one before this local top uh 4251 42. bottom here 51 and that's in the middle of this accumulation 65 76 and you skip plotting them 61. 65.76 5 there you go your capitalization right there um 76.83 so 76.

137:18 the one before this local top 83 it's right one before we started the thing there's no way to know and to tell which one is going to be however they are candles that you should definitely pay attention to for example in this case in this case the 83 one we can see that the price has been accumulated and moving sideways sideways sideways sideways and boom the candle after closes above the ten can and you can see here how this one immediately ships to the upside and this one too and the Kumo exactly was right here and it shoots to the upside too so definitely and then after that if you know candle Japanese Scandal sick patterns you know that basically what we had had here was three white soldiers that was the biggest indication that the price was going to shoot to the upside definitely uh with this kind of formation right there because after this what we get is a small correction and then we get this so they are definitely is a common table of candles that have potential to be breakout candles or reversal candles for the price action for any asset so I don't use them much but um because nowadays I have a different system this is a 97 candles you see this is exactly the candle that broke the accumulation the long term one this is a candle that started the massive move and then we have 101 1 1 101 and 129 so 101 it's right here that was the local top before we had that massive move of three thousand dollars and then 121 it's going to be which is the next one it's going to be right here in April 5th of 2021 so you know that's a date that we definitely need to pay attention to actually look at it see exactly on that period of time that Kumo stops from being sideways and it starts to move to the upside so that probably suggests there's going to be some sort of shift around that time too so that's definitely something to pay attention to like I said I don't use it anymore because I to forecast time I use waves and particles my system and it's a way more accurate than this but if you don't have a system to forecast time so keeping an eye on those Scandal counts it's a major major Edge um so what what else um ichimoku's reliability are there any difference between lower time frame and higher time frame it's a more reliable Yeah a hundred percent the bigger the time frame is is basically like this if you're on the five minute candle and I want to manipulate this candle or all I need to do is have a lot of Bitcoin and just keep selling and pushing the price down for five minutes so the five minutes and 10 and 15 in one hour and four hour are a little bit more sensitive and possibly um susceptible to manipulation however if we take this same concept to the weekly that means that in order for me to keep this candle to the downside I need to have enough Bitcoin to keep the selling pressure for seven days a week 24 hours a day so that's a lot of Bitcoin that I would need to keep the selling pressure at that level so for that reason it's virtually impossible to get like a real deviation or manipulation or a time frame like the weekly the monthly or something like that for that reason the higher time frames tend to be cleaner in terms of Trends pivots and levels than the smaller time frames however the mechanics of ichimoko is exactly the same just keep away that for example whether in this case on the weekly you have one Kumo from January from July to January but maybe perhaps this on the on the four hour translate into maybe I don't know 40 Kumo twists so you can see that there the relationship between being on a small to a higher time frame you're just basically filtering out the noise of the smaller time frames so the readings are more reliable on the higher ones so that's it so look at total market cap that you mean like analysis I'm happy to do that on Twitter um I'm gonna do a really cool for you show you how quick you can do that with each year it's the same as Bitcoin of course see however there's a difference see here this is a clear indication that a first super early indication that the train could be getting weaker however you know this is going to be a strong support actually you want to see where this is sitting at if we see where these two lines are at see how ichimoko it's always about math C is exactly between this flat Kumo which means this was a strong level and then this level that was not able to break so that's why it's getting flat there so that's the past the price from the past influence in the future and also the Kumo see the Kumo is getting into a state of exagination I mean it's getting stagnant so perhaps we this is a signal an early signal that we could go and correct a little bit in terms of the total market cap because this is a short time frame um and we have we shared the same pivot well this one is early actually see this is either on September December 7th or December 14th so we might need to keep an eye on this because after all of these scandals going up we can definitely have a correction so that'll be what watch out with your positions right now especially around these levels if we want to see however the chiku the past action we know we have a level here and we have another level here and you can see that as it is we're breaking it but we need to see where we close this Scandal because because if we close under this level then most likely we're going to be at a strong rejection for two consecutive candles on the weekly and perhaps that most likely will represent a reversal to have a smaller correction a small correction uh on the total market cap um I know you say it's bad catching bottoms but what are the first few signs you will look for if you wanted to get a near bottom entered rather than waiting for full itchy confirmation well it's a gamble my friend it's there's absolutely not a possibly the higher high on the Kumo that's the only thing you can see it happen you you can go also to the smaller time frames so if we go to bitcoin here Bitcoin USD you can see the bottom was here right but there was no indication of a bottom actually in this level so you cannot buy here I mean it's very risky however if you go to the Daily and you go to the same price action you can see here possibly an early sign so at this point see we go up we get rejection on the kitchen as expected then here we have a comma twist and then at that point we kind of let me see yeah we're kind of get another not a higher low but a double bottom on the Kumo which is pertinent to possibly this move right here so this would be an early sign here getting at six thousand six hundred dollars without getting into the risk of buying this candle because that's gambling at this point you don't have any confirmation again at least with ichimoku there are some other systems that might tell you that this would be the right date to trade but I mean the risky well as you saw on the weekly this candle right here a fun which one was again oh let me see the 65th candle so as you can see it's part of the Ichi price table so if you want to gamble then when you see the scandal going down here on the daily which was basically this action right here then you could perhaps go ahead and buy that based on that but again it's risky is it's uh I talk about that on a stream for my group yesterday you cannot risky and rewards because I had I had a stream about race and reward ratio so people think they are not related or they can cheat it to so they cannot be related and they can have possibly this as a risk and they have this as rewards but it's impossible let me tell you that right now and basically they go hand in hand this is risk and this is a reward if you won higher rewards there's no other way around but to have higher risk but by having higher risk that what it means you run into the problem of possibly getting burned many times as you would like to so if you want to have a safer trade then you will incur into a considerably smaller risk but that's at the expense of having smaller rewards because you're buying higher let me give you an example again doesn't consider anything worth it after a 50 of the retraction level so that's probably here so for some more like Gan this was completely ignored see he only buys after we break that level and that we're talking about 12K so that's considerably a smaller return that we're talking about 65 return against basically 400 percent return of buying the absolute bottom however this is possibly a hundred times riskier than this one so depending on how much you how much of a gambler you are and how much you care of your money and how strong you're planning your risk management is then you will be you would do one or the other but there's no way of having one without the other you want to buy the bottom that's perfect more rewards but you have more risk especially if you don't have any confirmation so ichimoku is great for swing trades long-term trades and it's places when you really want to get into a full train and let's be honest um throughout all my years doing these studies and coaching people I can tell you that 99.999999 of the time a long-term investors will will definitely buy a lot surpass the prophets of culpers it's it's just simply uh what it is because if you are a long-term investor and you know exactly when to get in without having that much risk and you write full Trends then you will you will be trading peacefully you will develop a certain patience that only few people can do and then you won't run into the trouble of the greed of buying here selling their buying here selling their buy like most people don't have the skill to do that so they end up you know losing money on the on the long term and simply as a Trader there are times that you need to scalp other times you need to be aggressive other times you need to be aggressive conservative there are times to buy heavy there are times to buy a little I mean it you need to develop a skill set that is going to allow you to recognize um the different and you know moments in how to act according to them so that's in regards to that got it yet thank you Joe nice to see you see you then and you prefer monthly more weekly for accuracy I'm usually always on the weekly um my trades I'm I'm usually um between the weekly and the daily um I only do monthly when I really need to pinpoint like major major moves like um I think for example this one right here well this one was not based on ichimoku it was was more based on my system but this one right here for example I'm I'm on the monthlies I really want to tackle like the highest probability for the price and the time in terms of where should I really get on a trade so here in November of 2019 I figured that probably the most likely I wanted it to be definitely on bitcoin no matter what be are between 6 and 5K around May around April or May of 2020.

151:21 so you click play there and you can see what happened exactly after at that moment so that's that's the only time when I go to the monthly when I really want to pinpoint the most important levels and dates in terms of my system how to forecast what are those moments when I really want to be out or get on a trade but for the most part I'm usually let me see where am I yep like I said I'm usually on the weekly and the daily I I to be honest I don't sculpt mosh much um I do play with leverage but on the four hour anything that gets under the daily it starts to show me get too much noise to my taste so it depends also on the on the on the trends for example I scalp here a lot because I know we're on a trend so there was a lot of possibilities too long these bounces and short you know possible uh lack of balance between the price action and so that was a good momentum but when the price is you know moving like this I just try to stay away from it and wait until I get the signal to just get on the trade and that's it but to answer your question briefly I usually stay within the weekly and the daily for the most part those are my favorite time frames so also very pretty pretty dependent on BTC how to account that in alt analysis well at the analysis it is what it is if you normalize it to a big time frame they rarely gave you fake signals um and let me give you let's go to Litecoin Bitcoin if you see here you're like oh my God I got a bull signal I'm in a momentum here and then price is going up but then Bitcoin goes and dips like 1K and Litecoin goes like this yeah it's dependent on bitcoin but if you go to the bigger time frame and you see and try to understand where things are at then you understand that the prices went down from there not because Bitcoin dump is because it's still on the downtrend and we just got reaction at the tenken at this point we're getting this is a perfect example Litecoin BTC see we're getting early early signals this kind of wants to make a lower a higher low the price is attempting to break that key gym for the first time since February and also we might have a TK cross but this is preliminary this is early so it's risky but it's not a bad idea to bet on it however like I said it's early there is nothing to suggests that this trend is going to end yet so we might have this boom boom boom boom boom boom or we can go like this follow this and then break afterwards eventually is what I said this is going to happen nothing goes down forever and nothing goes up forever so the beauty of ichimoku is that it will safely tell you when that momentum is going to shift see so many people they start this downtrend and they go up here and they think this is going to go here but no this is not related to a regular Market cycle that is balanced in time and price that's another thing that I never talk about because it's something I talk on the course there is an intrinsic relationship between space and time or in this case price and time if they are not in Balance the price is going to make sure to find balance either on time or Price that's why sometimes you get pumps out of nowhere or sometimes things take forever way longer than you expected because the price is just looking for that balance and it's always like that um so I think that answers that on the alt thing wow we're on the 238 hour so we're good either way I'm having fun if you're having fun then it's all good you have any more questions anything else you want to ask me or do you have doubts with or anything we're good now then foreign [Music] to chart for a charting session you're here to learn Ichi but since no one is asking anything let's take a look deep let's do it let's see all right see I'm just gonna keep it in the framework off of [Music] um teaching so see here Ichi for divide on the weekly you can see the downtrend see we attempted to go over but it was failure price went under the Kumo and now we're getting a bearish TK cross already and disco wants to turn red again what that suggests is that is that possibly the price is not ready yet and more likely it's going to have a little bit of a longer turn accumulation so if we get a common twist here so we know this is the important level right here because we can see the price Bounce from it a few times probably here so we know this is our low level the current local bottom so if we go down and start climbing up front then then we will have a good shot of getting the start of a possible trend for the future I like the e-bite a lot I just don't think it's ready yet and for just by looking at Ichi you know that it's better to wait because we can get a reaction from this game however now if we out of nowhere break this and bounce from this commode then we could be on another type of scenario because that means that probably we're going to go like this but Ichi will always sell you the state of things all right any other questions really can you please look at Fusz ethics depending on BTC do you see similar bull Trend in it like BTC some people say F has more upside chances thank you my friend well it's the same at the USD it's going to be dependent on bitcoin and obviously they're saying that because Bitcoin is right here basically that's why people are saying that F could go here and it might as well do it however because you know you can see here in the weekly we are on a bullet train already however you're missing a move so whereas f is here in the same amount of time Bitcoin this did basically this right so in reality F seems to be here similar to when Bitcoin was a 13k last year so yeah the upside is bigger however that doesn't mean that we're going to go to fourteen hundred dollars like in a few weeks however we should not ignore the fact that we are on a bull trend on the weekly and it looks like that we just need to see what are the key levels and the key levels here as we can see we discussed this earlier we have this and we have this one right there see this is a resistance so the kuma doesn't look bad if we go to the three day to get a better assessment it's still bullish no cross there is healthy the daily is still healthy you see we had a long-term accumulation here with a few common twists but then we shoot up so it's still on a bull train so the daily is cool the four hour is called two we're kind of dealing with a little bit of a situation here that Kim might as well have a double top following Bitcoin so you need to be careful with this so if you consider this then you also need to consider the fact that this thing basically has been going up for nine months in a row with only one single correction on this candle in August so remember things don't go up forever so there is reward ratio here basically is the worst if you want to buy f yeah the potential to the upside is big but remember what I said you want to buy things here not at the top so if anything you need to find the key levels so we set the key levels we have several we have this one we have this one too we have this one here and we have this one here so if we break this level and we have a strong retest and we know this is a strong support then yeah say it is fine to buy but this is not a place where I would like to buy I'd rather wait either for a breakout on a retest or a correction to get into this trade ichimoku will be your friend because if we are really on a strong bull market then that means that the price is either bounced from the tenken or the Keegan at the worst so that would be a great entry now if we break the key in and go for the cumin that will be also another great entry but remember instead of betting we just need to follow the candles the most important thing is to trust the system and understand that fact things always are going to seek balance that's why this ichimoku indicator it is called basically a balanced table because what the lines are guiding you to see if is to see if the price is in balance or not and once you know that then you know if it's wise to wait or to get into the action simple as that um you see volume indicator no I don't use a single lag indicator because thanks to the system that I use um waves and particles it's predictive so I'm always ahead of time in terms of my prediction so I'm telling I'm it's like having a a layout so we will speak so it would be like this having key dates and having key levels so most of my analysis you know it's around these areas so since I don't know where the hell is stochastic or volume or a momentum is going to be in the future then they don't serve me at all so I don't use lag indicators the only one I use sometimes to understand the trend is a modified stochastic that I have here I talk many times about this on Twitter in the past like years ago it's a five three three stochastic regular stochastic another RSI only the k and I use it for divergences as you can see here um the price is strong it's making higher highs and it's climbing up slowly however it's in the over it's in the overbought area area but I mean I I know also that that doesn't mean anything this could go like this and this could go like this if it wants to but so far we don't we don't have any Divergence and it's but it's really good good for it um you can I don't know that's you this is the only one that I really use sometimes but any other than that I don't I don't use volume momentum like indicators and all of that sometimes maybe I use it to confirm breakouts for example this candle here the price broke the kuma and went up from there I want to see if there was a strong and you can see that see after the volume was in Decline for a while that was the first massive volume candle that made the price Bounce from the Kumo so that was a good indication that that was definitely a positive breakout as you can see here after that candle right there the price never went under that level since since that moment you can see right there see it actually was a gray level to buy after that so that was a key momentum but it's mostly for confirmation I don't use it for for predicting predictions because you don't know what the volume is going to be in the future and my analysis is not reactionary my analysis is predictive um okay that answers the volume indicators anything else hmm I have a question here can you take a look at SEC USD please no piece of manic no I'm just kidding I'll I'll answer to you on the on the on the group you're such a great teacher you have such a thank you Mike thanks a lot my friend I really appreciate your words um uh questions about this if we have any in the future how will we contact you I mean yes you can basically Twitter it's the best thing we can do I mean you all know my Twitter handle so if you have any questions in the future I'm happy to answer and help you and guide you along this journey I don't have any trouble at all with that so feel free to contact me on Twitter and uh be happy to answer any doubts or anything if I have the time of course so my door is always open the only last thing that I probably wanted to talk to you is something I thought about today well in the past few days I have a so the system that I use to wave some particles um you can read about it on the it's basically a system that looks for the confluence in in with several different tools so I use ichimoku is one of the most important parts of my system and it helps me determine the trend as well as using you know deeper um strategies like wave theory and stuff like that to understand what the price might do in the future but ichimaku can help you with that with time and Trend Direction then I use some of the Gan tools which are going to provide also with time analysis and trend lines and more price levels and as long as the math like I said is shared between stuff like Tom TD sequential for example Wyckoff Ellie waves I I mean white coffees like this so I did a thorough research over the years in the math Behind These systems in the math is basically the same for every successful system so by analyzing them from that mathematical point of view I was able to pin down like a few formulas that made that helps me Define are the most you know possible the the highest in the highest probability in the future for inflection points on the price and time and trying to find that relationship with also some of geometry and stuff like that and what you have is a very very strong system the system accuracy to forecast dates probably on the weekly and important pivots it's over 90 around 90 percent so that means it's basically right 94 out of 100 times to forecast important dates in the future um from from then you go down and for the reasons I started earlier then the accuracy diminished a little bit but still around in the daily is like around 92 percent on the four hour because of deviations is around 88 so either way it's a strong system and but because of that reason and what happens with the future pivots I find myself more trading time than price action that's basically what it is that's how I do my bets because if I know there's a major pivot here I have a Confluence here for May 31st let's say that and I have that Confluence with ichimoku with gun with my own formulas and the other things and tools that I use then I don't care if the price is here or is the price is here I will just follow the signals that I'm looking at so if the price is here on this date and I know that I have a bearish Divergence for example on the RSI and I noticed that the price is here but the tank and the kitchen is here and there's a lot of there's a lack of balance then I know that for the most part that price is going most likely to reverse then now if the opposite happens if we push a lot right now and then we start a deep correction and then I we're sitting at this level which I know is the Kumo for example and then I have a bullish Divergence and then I don't know I have a formation like a clear formation like a falling wedge then I know the day that day most likely it's going to signify a reversal on the trend so with this accuracy on the system like I said I find myself being a Time Trader more than I am a price Trader so that's basically how the system is I I care more about buying at the low area or maybe an important retests and selling are important resistances or an important reversals in time and that's basically how the system is um if you guys want to you know interest on on the system itself I had a a promotion for November and those all those um spots were filled and I was going to close close shop until 2021 to take a break during the holidays but a few guys asked me on the on the private messages if I will be willing to extend the sale the offer for the for December for some of them that want to check it so I decided that you know why not your guys here trying to learn about Ichi and if you any of you are interested on the system or the waves and particles and you really want to learn and keep digging further on these Concepts and stuff I'm happy to extend the the that 50 offer that I had for November for the people who attended the webinar uh I have no problem with that so I wanted to leave this um there for you if you're interested in that and I think that's it um that's pretty much all we can I don't know we were here for a long time more than I expected but I had fun I hope you guys learn um a better way and you understand in a simpler way how ichimoku can really work for you and how powerful it can be of course there's a learning curve and it's going to take a little bit of time for you to get accustomed to these Concepts but believe me if you really put down the hours and the work into really understanding the the concepts behind ichimoku and how the price always looks for that balance then you will definitely be able to have an edge especially right now that we're coming um close to having a bull trend on many many things as you can see here I don't know fat Bitcoin is one that pops into mind and you go to three days one day you can see it right here I mean these are things that are basically they went down for a long time and they right now are developing bottom structures so once for example this once we go out of here and we get a confirmation with a green Kumo the price out the chico out it's going to be the best investments that we can get for the long term because as you can see here just a little bit of upside to the 50 percent to of this getting around a confirmation would probably yield 10x so I mean if there is a moment would you want to buy these things with this with a good confirmation and a system that really helps minimize the risk it would be ichimoku that's exactly why I actually launched this webinar right now because I noticed that the moment is getting into a really really good state right now [Music] um same fun time very good just learn so much we'll be starting awesome all right guys I'm gonna um amazing thank you thank you I really appreciate all of you oh one more thing um that I'm missing um I'm gonna be setting up a page on my website for comments and reviews um if you really enjoyed this if you had fun if you learn and ultimately if it definitely helps you have better trades which is ultimately what I wanted to have for all of you I mean ichimoku it's amazing and there is there are no really many resources out there and I see so many people get wrecked every single day in the markets it really breaks my heart so I'm doing all I can just to help people you know find little tools and ideas so they at least have a resemblance of what could be a good system in order to trade better so if you enjoy that if you enjoy the class if you learn on anything I'm gonna share with you obviously the link afterwards so you can just leave a comment your experience a review or whatever you want maybe just a little heart liking liking the picture of uh so you can have that so oh all of those words are amazing and they really really warm my heart thank you very much guys so I'm gonna uh you know keep it tight right now time to go to bed thank you all take care and keep an eye on the junk folder and the email because I'm gonna be sharing the link for the video so you can look again afterwards probably tomorrow so thank you all guys it was an amazing experience I really have fun good night take care guys bye bye
