Before Taking the Trade
Fresh Price/Tenkan Sen Cross : WEEKLY TF /Bearish
KUMO Breakout : DAILY TF
100% Bearish Picture : H4 TF
Correction so we can Enter after it : H1 TF

STEP #1 : Looking for a FRESH Price/Tenkan Sen Cross on the highest Time-Frame
Q1 : Is the profile of the pair trending? (KUMO Slope)
Q2 : Is the Price/Tenkan Sen Cross fresh?
Q3 : Is the Price/Tenkan Sen Cross valid?
Q4 : Is there a relatively Fresh Price/Tenkan Sen Cross -to the same direction- on a smaller Time-Frame which will cut our WAITING TIME shorter?

STEP #2 : Looking for a KUMO Breakout on the next lower Time-Frame, to the direction of the P/TS Cross
Q1 : Is the KUMO Breakout telling us anything about the strength of the move? (Slope)
Q2 : Is the KUMO Breakout validated by Chikou Span and Kijun Sen or not? (not a necessary criterion but indicative of move’s strength)

STEP #3 : Looking for 100% picture to the direction of the KUMO Breakout
Q1 : Is the big picture clearly bullish or bearish?
Q2 : Is KUMO sloping?

STEP #4 : WAITING for a correction to start and finish. We Enter after the Correction, to the direction of the P/TS Cross if price has closed above/below Tenkan Sen with Tenkan Sen -ideally Kijun Sen too- sloping to the direction of P/TS Cross, and confirmation from Chikou Span and from leading KUMO morphology.
Q1 : Do we see a Price/Tenkan Sen Cross making a valid correction?
Q2 : Is price moving stronger to the direction of the correction?
Q3 : Which is the highest Time-Frame where price is making a valid correction with P/TS Cross?

Q4 : On the highest Time-Frame where we had a corrective Price/Tenkan Sen Cross do we see a candlestick going to the opposite direction signaling the end of correction?

Q5 : Switching down to the 4th Time-Frame are ALL our Entry Criteria met or some missing?

STEP #5 : We SET our Take-Profit Target based on the Highest Time-Frame – the 1st one- where we had the Fresh Price/Tenkan Sen Cross.

Bearish Price/Tenkan Sen Cross on Highest Time-Frame
1st Level of Take-Profit Target : a few pips above Kijun Sen on Highest TF
2nd Level of Take-Profit Target : a few pips above Upper Border of KUMO on Highest TF
3rd Level of Take-Profit Target : a few pips above Lower Border of KUMO on Highest TF
If price makes a Bearish KUMO Breakout and there is a higher Time-Frame than the one we used as the highest, we adjust our TP Targets to that Time-Frame. If our Highest TF is Monthly, we follow Kijun Sen’s fall from Monthly TF.
Bullish Price/Tenkan Sen Cross on Highest Time-Frame
1st Level of Take-Profit Target : a few pips below Kijun Sen on Highest TF
2nd Level of Take-Profit Target : a few pips below Lower Border of KUMO on Highest TF
3rd Level of Take-Profit Target : a few pips below Upper Border of KUMO on Highest TF
If price makes a Bullish KUMO Breakout and there is a higher Time-Frame than the one we used as the highest, we adjust our TP Targets to that Time-Frame. If our Highest TF is Monthly, we follow Kijun Sen’s upward move from Monthly TF.
