The Ichimoku Cloud indicator can be used in any time frame, and there is no "best" one. It all depends on what type of trader you are. Day traders might prefer to use the Ichimoku on the M5 or M15 chart to help them identify the trend and/or get entry and exit signals.

The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, or Ichimoku for short, is a technical indicator that is used to gauge momentum along with future areas of support and resistance. The all-in-one technical indicator is comprised of five lines called the tenkan-sen, kijun-sen, senkou span A, senkou span B and chikou span.

The effectiveness of Ichimoku Cloud is often debated among traders, with some studies suggesting a success rate of around 40% in bullish setups. However, it's important to note that in bearish scenarios, the strategy may perform less effectively, with potential losses averaging around -25%.
