How it works

Ichimoku MTF reads the trend on the higher timeframes (D1, H4 and W1) and waits for an entry on H1, only in the direction of that bigger trend.

  • 3 entry types: Kijun Bounce (pullback to the Kijun), Kumo Breakout (break through the cloud) and TK Cross above the cloud
  • Quality filters: risk per trade is cut when a signal has weaknesses, such as very high ADX, chasing price, or a recent losing run
  • Exits: stop at price structure, trail the stop along the Kijun, and exit when Tenkan crosses back over Kijun
  • Bot-ready: the TradingView script sends signals by webhook to an MT5 bot, which sizes the lot and places SL/TP at the broker on every trade

Markets

Gold (XAUUSD) and 3 yen pairs (USDJPY, EURJPY, GBPJPY).

Also tested on markets the system had never seen: XAGUSD, AUDJPY and CHFJPY pass. USD majors and the S&P 500 fail, so they are not used.

Latest version v3.7

Updated 2026-10-11

Per-pair risk weights + strong-yen rule

  • Per-pair risk weights: gold ×1.17 · USDJPY ×0.9 · EURJPY ×0.765 · GBPJPY ×2.25
  • Strong-yen rule: when USDJPY falls more than 5% over 126 trading days, Buy trades on all 3 yen pairs use half risk
  • Risk in alerts now has 5 decimals so the bot sizes lots more precisely
  • Entries and exits are identical to v3.6. Only the risk per trade changed.

Which timeframe

Best: H1H1

Designed and tuned on H1 (trend from H4/D1/W1). Other timeframes have not been tested, so use H1 only.

Why this many trades: Many trades because it trades 4 markets, both Buy and Sell, on H1. (18.13 trades/month)
