As usual the weather backcast contains the ichimoku analysis of 22 indices, futures and FOREX pairs. The linked charts contain all the details and neccessary context. Both charts and tables are generated automatically, at the moment the software is still work in progress. As such, I am not sure if it works 100% correctly, so if you see a mistake, would like to see an addition/change or simply give feedback: feel free to mail me at This email address is being protected from spambots.

The 16h week triggered 13 signals in 10 different markets (out of 22 in the investment universe):
If you would like to play around with the system that is used to generate the signals and charts on this blog, you can do so! The latest version of my software, ichinscratchy v0.3.0, was released in December 2017. It´s free & open source, you can find it under http://spare-time-trading.de/en/trading-system. Work on the next version (that will be a maintenance release) has already begun. You can check out the development activities at gitlab: https://gitlab.com/werwurm/ichi_reloaded.
As usual, I start with the indices. When looking at the charts it seems that most of them try to end the sideway movement. As I wrote last week, the European ones seem to do slightly better at the moment: DAX worked it´s way halfway through kumo (which will mean it enters an uptrend if leaving the upper cloud boundary behind), EUROSTOXX already touched the upper border. US indices' direction still remains unclear, I´d suggest to wait until it becomes clearer. The very thin cloud unfortunately makes false signals more likely to occur. Which is a good bridge to talk about EUR/USD: sideways channel, trend following system = no good. EUR/JPY somewhat better, at least it doesn't produce one false signal after another. Silver now is back into an uptrend, with a huge candle breaking kumo. Within the rest of the commodities you can find some nice text-book examples of up- and downtrends. For all markets in the investment universe (especially for an intermarket analysis), as usual: check the charts and tables below!

If you downloaded my software and wonder about the system settings, a quick overview for the most relevant ones used for this weekly overview:
- Ichimoku time period settings are standard (9,26,52), only strong signals are shown.
- ICHI_CHIKOU_CONFIRM = true (Chikou Span is used as confirmation/ filter for trend).
- ICHI_KUMO_CONFIRM = false (Kumo breakouts have to be higher/lower than last reaction high/low to be valid)
- SIGNAL_REGIME_FILTER = none (all market regime filters are off)
- SIGNAL_EXECUTION_PYRAMID = full (use every signal even if it is already in portfolio)
Below as mentioned the list with the evaluation of the status quo using Ichimoku. The tables also list the last three Strong Ichimoku Signals.
Wish you relaxing Trading!
