Ichioimoku Trend Following Strategy

Hello,

I have little trading experience (<6 months demo trading) and I have been trying to manually backtest an Ichimoku Trend Following Trading Strategy (from Trading with Ichimoku Clouds - Manesh Patel) on MT4 using the F12 shortcut.

The system has the following rules:

LONG ENTRY

  • Price above Kumo Cloud;

  • Tenkan Sen greater than Kijun Sen;

  • Kumo Clous future should be Bullish;

  • Chikou Span showing bullish momentum;

Reverse for SHORT ENTRIES

The challenge I am having is how to use the Future Kumo rule without affecting the objectivity of the process.

Any input is welcome.
