01 / RESEARCH PRINCIPLE
Time before price.
Price shows what has happened. Studying where price sits in time — through the Chikou Span — helps reveal when a setup may begin to matter.
RESEARCH & METHODOLOGY
Price tells you what happened. Time reveals what matters.
My research studies Ichimoku — particularly the Chikou Span — to understand how time and historical price interact, and when a setup may begin to matter.
AREAS OF STUDY
Four research questions.
01
Chikou Span
How the lagging line interacts with historical price, and what that interaction may reveal about timing.
02
Early turnarounds
Documenting when time-based evidence appears before a change in trend becomes obvious on price.
03
Failed breakouts
Recording breakouts that did not hold, and the time-price conditions that preceded them.
04
Multi-timeframe analysis
Comparing daily, weekly and monthly structure to judge whether observations agree.
METHOD
Three principles. One process.
02 / RESEARCH PRINCIPLE
Structure over noise.
Read Ichimoku structure, historical price interaction and multiple timeframes together, rather than reacting to single signals.
03 / RESEARCH PRINCIPLE
Risk before reward.
Failed breakouts are studied as carefully as successful ones. Define what invalidates an observation before considering what may follow.
