Replay drill

1. Open a block of 10 to 20 missions and allow Ichimoku Cloud to answer only one question: bias, timing, volatility, or participation.
2. Before clicking Start Mission, write one sentence explaining what Ichimoku Cloud says and one sentence explaining what raw price must do to confirm it.
3. Keep virtual risk stable for the whole drill so the review measures decision quality rather than random sizing.
4. After each mission, grade the Ichimoku Cloud read as clean, early, late, conflicted, or irrelevant, then compare that grade with the payout and the revealed candles.

Failure modes and risk notes

Do not use every Ichimoku element at once if you cannot explain the read simply. Complexity without hierarchy creates false confidence.

Because Ichimoku Cloud sits on the price chart, the common trap is treating a touch, cross, or flip as automatic permission. The safer rule is price first, indicator second, execution last.

The indicator should change the decision process, not decorate it. If it does not affect direction, invalidation, target placement, or the decision to skip, remove it from the active tactical handbook for that drill.
