With this post, my much-anticipated arrival has finally come to pass. Now, let the disappointment begin!
First, a note on where you can learn about Ichimoku Kinko Hyo aside from this thread:
There are few resources available in English that discuss Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (IKH hereafter) in much detail. Among them are the Ichiwiki (as 4xStar has mentioned), which is the best online (and best free) resource - it is the Babypips of Ichimoku. Investopedia has a decent article on IKH, as well, but does nothing the Ichiwiki doesn't. The single best work (recently recommended to me and acquired soon thereafter) available is Nicole Elliott's book
Ichimoku Charts.
The Ichiwiki is an adequate primer for discussion of IKH and does a fine job summarizing several common but highly effective 'cross' strategies. I would recommend reading at least the first two sections (better yet, all five) to orient yourself to the discussion to follow. Elliott's monograph is for those who have assimilated the Ichiwiki material and wish to delve further.
