My apologies to all those who have been disappointed with the Ichimoku charts. They may seem out of place in this thread.
But like other elliotticians, some also use various technical indicators to validate their wave counts or points of reversal.
I have been studying multiple strategies and systems along side my wave counts. So I have somehow gotten a feel for how some pairs react to a specific technical indicator.
And lately, I have been using Ichimoku charts. I must admit that this set up has somehow combined various strategies within its system.
The Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen cross signals some how are analogous to MA cross signals. and where it happens like above, within or below the Kumo cloud can be related to like MA cross signals happening above or below 50ema or 100sma for example.
Then there is the Chikou span. Its crossing the price bars or candlesticks at the same time or after Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen have crossed gives a nice signal to enter a trade specially if both crossings happen on the same side of the Kumo cloud.
You may ask... where do all this come into my Elliott Wave Analysis? Like the way I use the GMMA, The Trend Follower, Andrews Pitchfork and Schiffs Median Line, Pivots, Support and Resistance Levels, Trend Lines, Fibs, Patterns and a concoction of multiple technical indicators, They provide some form of an explanation where Price could probably be going. For me, I can trade naked with just the Fibs and stochastics but can only use it on Higher TF like 4hours at least. But that takes so long. I need various systems and indicators to help me get a feel of the market specially because I study and trade too the lower TFs.
I will not pretend to know a lot. That is probably why I need the technical indicators to provide or validate my EW counts. And so far it has lent to a quiet and profitable trading scenario. No need to Panic when a position goes against me. We some how know the potential of a mistake/miscalculation and hedging the trades properly help in maintaining calmness amidst a drawdown or before a drawdown.
Signals from different indicators somehow help in Identifying a price turn, a confirmation of a trend or provide signs of a ranging market. So do not be surprised to see charts with other strategies showing up in this thread.
Attaching charts for GBPUSD and GBPJPY which I have been trading this
week.
GBPJPY has a signal on the 5min chart. But I am not taking it now as I prefer to hold just hold mu current trades.

I would consider this as an Impulse move UP because w3 was projected as FE425.00. ABC Corrections can go up to as high as FE161.8 and rarely FE 261.8.
But in this case it was FE 425.0. I am more inclined to believe that this is a 5 wave move. At least that is how I see it now.
I might have to get ready to unload my remaining short even at a loss. Just have to find a strategic level. But will study the scenario first.
next chart is an alternative way to count which at this point I will follow for now.

PS..... You can actually use the Chikou span (Lime) like a line graph where one can check their wave count based on the wave formation.
Also looks like a Cup formation on this one

GBPJPY while I was sleeping.......
Looking at the 1st chart, that looks to have been the proper count instead of the 2nd one.
I guess I wanted the Pair to get back on the Bear trend refusing to acknowledge the fact that the projection went to as high as FE 425.00
I was focusing on the expectation that wave 5 will be truncated because of the very strong wave 3 that I noted. Also on the same chart, wave 4 is noted to have retraced wave 3 by 38.2%.
'Was hesitant to leave the trade before I hit the sack here because of the Stochastics. However, sleep was more important and besides, ny trades were hedged.
With the current scenario, this looks like price has made a 5 wave impulse wave. Though this has gone up a bit far, I would now think that based on An EW reference from RET, there is a possibility that wave 5 may also be extended OR be w5=w1 with the Lower Highs and Lower Lows
But definitely..... I think this will revisit or retrace this large UP Move. That is where I will decide to unhedge my Long Trades and exit my short trades.
In the meantime, it would be scalping time for me on this pair and the GBPUSD.
Remember that these trades I take have been "hedged my way" and not really using another's way of hedging trades. You can only do this with LOW LEVERAGE.

PS. Throwing in more charts on Ichimoku together with EW. Notice how the Chikou span looks like the Line graph where you can have an idea how the waves are formed. So I use the Chikou span for its original use as a part signal when it crosses price bars or CS and as an automatic identifier of Potential chart formations like Head and shoulders patterns, triangles, flags....
I have labelled the candlesticks with the EW counts I now have and you will also notice I did the same thing on the Chikou span ( Lime line ).
