KT Ichimoku Cross EA MT4

KT Ichimoku Cross EA trades one complete Ichimoku system for you: the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen cross, confirmed by the cloud, with a stop loss and a take profit on every trade from the moment it opens. No strategy menu and no guesswork. It installs with the exact settings that were tested on five years of USDJPY history.

Tested on five years of USDJPY

The default settings were tested on five years of USDJPY on the 1 hour chart in one continuous run, at 1% risk per trade, with the broker's spread, commission and swap taken out of every trade. The full results, with cloud confirmation on and off, are in the screenshots.

Every trade targets three times its risk, so the EA does not need to win most of its trades to move the balance forward.

How it trades

When the Tenkan-sen crosses the Kijun-sen and the signal bar closes clear of the cloud, the EA opens a trade at the close of that bar, in the direction of the cross. The trade then runs until it reaches its stop loss or its take profit. An opposite cross in the meantime never cuts a winning trade short.

Why traders choose it

• Ready from the first minute: attach it to a USDJPY 1 hour chart and it trades the tested method. Nothing to set up and no settings to hunt for.
• A fixed plan for every trade: the stop loss sits just beyond the Kijun-sen and the take profit at three times the risk, both placed the moment the trade opens.
• Your risk, always the same: the lot size is worked out from the stop loss distance, so every trade risks the same percent of your balance. A fixed lot is there if you prefer it.
• Fewer, cleaner trades: cloud confirmation opens a trade only when the signal bar closes clear of the cloud. One switch turns it off if you want every cross.
• Careful by design: one position at a time, setups with an unusually wide stop loss are skipped, and an optional maximum spread check keeps it out of expensive moments. No grid, no martingale and no averaging down.
• The same signals on any chart: Ichimoku is calculated inside the EA, so its signals stay the same whatever else is loaded on the chart.
• Always informed: popup, push and email alerts for every trade it opens.
