I took a period of the year 2005 for an example, very volatile during that period !
Anyway I placed 2 trades on the chart for example, both would have done better with less volatility, but anyway both trades were winners as you can see.
Together good for 61 + 118 = 179 pips, stressfree imo.
With the test I did manually in 2006 I had trades as big as 677 pips

Hope I made some things clear

U will be stopped out to soon imo.
We want to get in a trend, and stay in it as long as possible imo.
I try to make consistent money, not to catch the tops and the bottoms.
Currencies are too much of a chaos anyway.
With proper moneymanagement you could trade many pairs at the same time.
If any system makes a decent amount of pips on a yearsbasis, and you trade enough pairs, one could make 50 to 60 % profit a year, wich is more than many trader makes
Just my 2 cts.

Can you specify your kijun-sen properties and what period ATR you're using?

@robp, settings I curr. use are 28 for the KijunSen, and 14 periods for the ATR.
I only color the KijunSen cyan.
I used other settings for KS, like 20, but that got me too many whipsaws.
I'm looking for a trend, and stay in as long as I can.
There maybe other ideas about entries and exits, but so far it looks good enough for me.
Any ideas always welcome ofcourse.

@linuxer, I know there are other threads regarding the Ichimoku, but I didn't want to interfere with other discussions and ideas, that's why I started I "fresh" one.

Sure, no problem.
It was to inform so members could go and back to other threads, we often make this.
