▶ FULL 6-MINUTE BREAKDOWN — every single trade of TikTok’s favourite strategy, on the chart, fees in: https://youtube.com/watch?v=1D_QNz0bByM
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo — the Ichimoku Cloud — gets called the most complete system in trading. So I coded the full signal exactly as it’s taught and gave it $10,000 on Bitcoin.
The real numbers (BTC-USD, 15m bars, 6 Jun – 4 Aug 2026, 0.05% fee per side):
• 179 trades
• 21.2% win rate
• Profit factor 0.38
• $10,000 → $7,448.92 = -25.5%
• Buy & hold over the same window: +4.3%
• Max drawdown: -26.9%
• With ZERO fees it still lost 10.9% — so this isn’t a fee story, the signal itself lost money in a rising market.
The rules I coded (steelmanned, not strawmanned): go long only when price closes above the Kumo AND Tenkan (9) is above Kijun (26) AND the Chikou span is above price 26 bars back. Exit when any of those fail. Entries and exits execute on the next bar’s open, so there’s no look-ahead.
