I'm using ichimoku with some success. I like to enter a trade two bars above or two below the cloud for a short. I need at least one other catalyst to confirm. It might be fundamental or some technical like a dip from a new high breaking out, cup and handle breakout, reaction to news, or maybe just consistent action in a single direction. I love a price just out of the cloud riding the top bollinger band if I can catch it early enough. I prefer trading with the general market and I keep an eye on the S&P. If it slows or reverses, I'll tighten my stop. I use parabolic sar as a guide, but tighten beyond the parabolic sar if my instinct so tells me. I use mostly the 10 min and daily chart. The more choppy the market, the shorter my trades. Flat areas on the cloud usually offer strong resistance and support.
