DislikedHi Kevin and lbtrader,
I can see that both of you are experienced traders. I have only been trading for a year and only on demo, so please feel free to let me know if you think I miss the mark.
I just wanted to point out that I believe you are actually agreeing with each other about trend trading. Here is a quick quote from the IchimokuWiki about trend trading and the Ichimoku:
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is a purpose-built

I agree with you about the main trend. I like to see both weekly and daily are in sync before making a trade decision. Once they are in sync, 4hr must be in sync with them as well. Sometimes, I do check 1 hr chart just to see what's going on over there.
What I have seen so far is that once the thickness of KUMO is enough in 4hr and above, it appears to me that 1hr noise may not matter too much.
This is my 2cents.
Cheers to all ichi-pips collectors.
