There are several strategies that have developed that have been found to be successful when trading based on the Ichimoku cloud indicator. The most basic is the pure cloud trading strategy, which is a breakout strategy that enters a trade when price breaks out from the Ichimoku cloud. The trade remains in place until price re-enters the cloud at which point the trade is closed and another breakout is awaited. There are additional components that can be added for much advanced trading set-ups, such as the Kijun Sen, the Tenkan Sen, and the Chinoku Span.
