Choose here the different conditions that will trigger the trades. You can choose only one or several. As soon as a condition is met, a trade will be triggered. If a condition is met while a trade in the same direction (Long or Short) is already in progress, it will be ignored. The most commonly used Ichimoku signals are **cloud breakouts and the crossings of the Tenkan Line and the Kijun Line**.\
