On Nov 19, 2013, we received a Ichimoku 5 multiple time frame sell email alert on Mini Gold Futures. Here is the email alert:
We elected to setup the trade on the 2h since that was the only time frame that had the cloud breakout strategy. The entry was 1274.72, initial risk of 1279.92, and a preserve mode of 1260.64. This would give us a max risk of 5.20 and a min. reward of 14.08. This is a 2.7:1 reward/risk ratio i.e. 270%. If we had taken the trade at the Kijun Sen, we would have definitely received a 3:1 reward/risk ratio. Instead, we missed it and had to take a lower pull back level. Here is the chart setup.
