ok, just found this post. I was searching for the same thing. No answer since that time so I guess it's a waste of time to ask the same thing again. My bad.

Hi Footon. It was not meant to blame. This old post of 2009 was apparently left unanswered, so I understand that this question may probably not be answered. The goal is meant to look if the future of the kumo is bright or dark, based on the Kumo cloud that we see forming and that crossover is so important. It must be determined whether it is positive or negative 26 period from the price. I understand that there's no Kumo future in FSB Pro like we see it on trading platforms. The actual period is at level 0. So, indeed it is not possible to implement this 26 p ahead in FSB Pro.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Span A is created through adding the Tenkan Line to the Kijun Line, then finding their average and plotting it 26 time periods ahead. The formula is: (Tenkan Line + Kijun Line)/ 2 plotted 26 periods ahead.

Span B is formed by adding the highest high (over the last 52 periods) to the corresponding lowest low, then finding their average and plotting the result 26 periods ahead. The formula is: (Highest high + lowest low over the last 52 periods)/2 and placed 26 periods ahead.

You're right. The formula is correct. I am testing this strategy with the No No indicator for now. I'll stop the trades manually. As far it looks like working properly, but I did not find a way to create a fully automated strategy with this breakout. But it does help. I do not miss the kumo breakouts anymore. Thank you Footon for the explanation.

yes! I would like to see it. I am very focused on Ichimoku trading. Can you share it plz ?

Thank you Footon, it looks amazing. Is it possible to add Chikou span to the SlotTypes.OpenFilter and SlotTypes.CloseFilter?

Some parts of the code are slightly different from the explanation of the tutorial that I found on the forum. I'm making a mess and can't debug.

The basis is like this:

Opening logic = Bar opening

Slot 1: ichimoku
The position opens above the Kumo
Tenkan= 9
Kijun= 26
Senkou Span B= 52
signal shift = 0

Slot 2: ichimoku
Chikou Span is above the closing price
Tenkan= 9
Kijun= 26
Senkou Span B= 52
signal shift = 26

Slot 3: ichimoku
Senkou Span A crosses Senkou Span B
Tenkan= 9
Kijun= 26
Senkou Span B= 52
signal shift = 0

Closing logic = Bar closing

Slot 1: ichimoku
Chikou Span is below the closing price
Tenkan= 9
Kijun= 26
Senkou Span B= 52
signal shift = 0

Hmm indeed it's what I wanted but the results are not what I expected. I am convinced of my opening slots. So, I've figured out something with Top Bottom Price with a fixed take profit. Now I let FSB Pro generated a second slot to exit. The results seem interesting with Fisher Turbo. I'll let it run for a while to get the better results and let it run for a few months in demo when I get something.

I can relate to what you refer to. I have learned to use what the program offers..... instead of trying to change it...

Hope you don't mind if I add my 2 cents...

I have a lot of software experience -- including developing indicators and EAs.  And I'm relatively new to FSB.  And since I came from the world where the focus was indicators then that is how I first approached FSB.  But then I read something that Blaiserboy wrote -- the FSB model is about *statistics*, and not indicators.  And then a light bulb went on.

I've discovered that FSB is a joy to use when you simply let it do its thing.  I let it generate a bunch of strategies without worrying which indicators are included.  And then I go through the Collection and pick out the ones with the best stats.

I'm much more successful creating EAs now that I learned not to fight the tool but, rather, simply take what it gives me (since it gives a *lot*).

Since I bought FSB Pro, I've tried different purely generated EA's that I made with FSB Pro but then I realized that curve fitting is often the problem. I have trouble understanding the logic of how these programs work because they are created often with indicators that I do not know at all. It's not always clear for me. I prefer to work with indicators that I know and that I already use when manual trading.

I have now come to use the OOS, I did not use it until now. But I have to clamp my heart when I run an EA on a live account even after a few weeks of testing. I saw some of my EA's running fine then started on a live account and it was good for 10 trades. After a couple of trades it was opening exactly where it should not. Of course, I can test an EA months as some other EA traders recommend on the internet, but it will be the same again. It may work well for weeks or months and by the time you go live, the strategy is to old. But how to know when it's time to change or modify it?

So I try to find somewhere the average by creating a logical base that I trust and then using the generator to improve and backtest it. I'm relatively familiar with Ichimoku trading and it's an indicator that you should not change in principle. That's a good base for avoiding curve fitting. But I'm very far from being a specialist in EA creation. I will follow your experience and let run FSBPro and then choose the EAs that seem the best. Thank you for your advice. I appreciate.
