KT Ichimoku Cross EA
MT4/MT5

-- Lifetime Access --

Description

Most Ichimoku EAs hand you four or five strategies and leave you to work out which one makes money. This one does the opposite. It trades a single system, the one we built, tested and published rule by rule, and it installs with the exact settings that produced every figure on this page.

The complete strategy rules, the reasoning and the chart examples are available in Mastering Advanced Ichimoku Trading Strategies, so you can read the whole method before you spend anything.

The five-year record. USDJPY H1, September 2021 to September 2026, run continuously at 1% risk per trade, with the broker's own spread, commission and swap taken out of every trade.

	Trades	Net profit	Profit factor	Expectancy	Win rate	Max drawdown
Cloud confirmation on, as shipped	329	+14,224	1.41	43.23	33.1%	15.5%
Cloud confirmation off	603	+23,372	1.32	38.76	31.8%	26.6%

Features

Trades a single, complete Ichimoku system, so there is nothing to configure before it starts working. The settings it installs with are the tested ones.
The full strategy is documented and open, so you can study every rule and test it on your own account.
Cloud confirmation is a single switch. Leave it on for fewer and more selective trades with a smoother equity curve, or switch it off to trade every cross.
The stop-loss and the take profit are placed the moment a trade opens and stay where they are, so every trade has a fixed plan from the start.
Automatic lot sizing from the stop-loss distance keeps your risk per trade consistent whatever the volatility is doing.
Holds one position at a time and lets each trade reach its stop-loss or its take profit, rather than closing early on the next opposite signal.
Ichimoku is calculated inside the EA, so its signals stay the same whatever else you have loaded on the chart.
No grid, no martingale and no averaging down. MT4 and MT5 builds come from the same rules, with popup, push and email alerts on every trade it opens.

Input Settings

Input	Default	What it does
Tenkan-sen Period	10	Fast Ichimoku average. Half of the cross.
Kijun-sen Period	30	Slow Ichimoku average. The other half of the cross, and the stop reference.
Senkou Span B Period	60	The slower cloud edge.
Require the Signal Bar to Close Clear of the Cloud	true	The confirmation filter. Off takes roughly twice as many trades.
ATR Period for the Stop Buffer	14	ATR used for the stop-loss buffer and the width limit.
Stop Loss Buffer Beyond the Kijun-sen	0.4	How far past the Kijun-sen the stop-loss sits, as an ATR multiple.
Skip the Trade if the Stop Loss is Wider Than This	4.0	Setups with an unusually wide stop-loss are skipped rather than resized.
Take Profit as a Multiple of the Stop Loss Distance	3.0	The fixed take profit. Lowering it raises the win rate and lowers the expectancy.
Risk Per Trade	1.0	Percent of balance risked on the stop-loss distance.
Fixed Lot Size	0.0	Above zero, overrides risk based sizing.
Magic Number	8802001	Identifies this EA's trades.
Max. Slippage	20	In points.
Max. Spread	0	In points. Zero switches the check off.
Alerts	popup on	Popup, push and email, each its own switch.

Conclusion

If you want an EA that claims to trade everything, this is not it. If you want one system that was actually built, tested across five years of history, and published rule by rule before you paid anything, this is the one.

Set it on USDJPY H1, leave the defaults where they are, and it trades the method exactly as published. Every figure on this page came from the configuration it installs with.
