On Feb 4, 2013, we received an Ichimoku 5 Time frame Sell on the Currency GBPCAD for the Forex market. The email alert is shown below:
The GBPCAD is a big consolidation pattern. As a result, we need to setup a Pull back trade on the 4hr timeframe. All the other time frames look too busy. The entry is 1.5756, initial stop of 1.5794, preserve mode value of 1.5663, and a target of 1.5663. This would give a max risk of 38 and min. reward of 93. This would give us a min. reward/risk of 2.5:1. To the target, we would get us a 6:1 reward/risk ratio. If you are an aggressive trader, you would take it but if you are a conservative trader, you would not take it since it is not exactly a 3:1 reward/risk ratio. Here is the chart setup:
We got stopped out at 1.5663 which is below the preserve mode value.
