Trying out Ichimoku strategy for the 1st time

Hi all,

I am new to forex trading so have been learning the ichimoku strategy on a demo account. Been trading about a month now with a 2.71% gain in 10 trades. My strategy is:

LONG TRADE RULES

  1. Price must close above the cloud
  2. Cloud ahead must be bullish (green)
  3. Conversion line is greater than the base line (blue line is above red line)
  4. Lagging span (green line) is greater or crosses above the cloud

Take profit

  1. When Conversion line crosses base line (blue line crosses red line)
  2. Lagging span (green line) is below price

SHORT TRADE RULES

  1. Price must close below the cloud
  2. Cloud ahead must be bearish red
  3. Conversion line is less than the base line (blue line is below red line)
  4. Lagging span (green line) is below or crosses below the cloud

Take profit

  1. When base line crosses conversion line (red line crosses blue line)
  2. Lagging span (green line) is above price

Stops

Either use the cloud or the base line.

Do members have any tips on improving this system, maybe using another indicator like RSI?
