I've been hearing a lot about Ichimoku Cloud lately, and it seems quite comprehensive. People say it offers a holistic view of trends, support, and resistance all at once. How do you all incorporate the Kumo (cloud) into your GBPUSD analysis? Is it better for longer-term trends or short-term scalping like I'm trying to do? I'm curious about the Senkou Span A and B calculations and how they can be used to anticipate future price movements. Any advanced traders here who can shed some light on practical applications beyond the basic definitions?

Hey @kamran1568, I've dabbled with Ichimoku a bit but find it a bit complex for my usual scalping style. The Kumo itself is interesting for longer-term trend direction, for sure. For scalping GBPUSD, I tend to focus more on immediate price action, order blocks, and key S/R levels. I do watch the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen crossover for short-term signals, but the cloud can be a bit laggy for what I do. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes those big clouds can obscure the quick moves I'm looking for. Do you find it helps with identifying FVG entries?
