Equilibrium Candles + Pattern [Honestcowboy]The Equilibrium Candles is a very simple trend continuation or reversal strategy depending on your settings.
How an Equilibrium Candle is created:
We calculate the equilibrium by measuring the mid point between highest and lowest point over X amount of bars back.
This now is the opening price for each bar and will be considered a green bar if price closes above equilibrium.
Bars get shaded by checking if regular candle close is higher than open etc. So you still see what the normal candles are doing.
Why are they useful?
The equilibrium is calculated the same as Baseline in Ichimoku Cloud. Which provides a point where price is very likely to retrace to. This script visualises the distance between close and equilibrium using candles. To provide a clear visual of how price relates to this equilibrium point.
This also makes it more straightforward to develop strategies based on this simple concept and makes the trader purely focus on this relationship and not think of any Ichimoku Cloud theories.
Script uses a very simple pattern to enter trades:
It will count how many candles have been one directional (above or below equilibrium)
Based on user input after X candles (7 by default) script shows we are in a trend (bg colors)
On the first pullback (candle closes on other side of equilibrium) it will look to enter a trade.
Places a stop order at the high of the candle if bullish trend or reverse if bearish trend.
If based on user input after X opposite candles (2 by default) order is not filled will cancel it and look for a new trend.
Use Reverse Logic:
There is a use reverse logic in the settings which on default is turned on. It will turn long orders into short orders making the stop orders become limit orders. It will use the normal long SL as target for the short. And TP as stop for the short. This to provide a means to reverse equity curve in case your pair is mean reverting by nature instead of trending.
ATR Calculation:
Averaged ATR, which is using ta.percentile_nearest_rank of 60% of a normal ATR (14 period) over the last 200 bars. This in simple words finds a value slightly above the mean ATR value over that period.
Big Candle Exit Logic:
Using Averaged ATR the script will check if a candle closes X times that ATR from the equilibrium point. This is then considered an overextension and all trades are closed.
This is also based on user input.
Simple trade management logic:
Checks if the user has selected to use TP and SL, or/and big candle exit.
Places a TP and SL based on averaged ATR at a multiplier based on user Input.
Closes trade if there is a Big Candle Exit or an opposite direction signal from indicator.
Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in % and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
There is also a simple buy and sell alert feature if you don't want to fully automate but still get alerts. These are available in the dropdown when creating an alert.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
The backtest uses a 4% exposure per trade and a 10 point slippage. I did not include a commission cause I'm not personaly aware what the commissions are on most forex brokers. I'm only aware of minimal slippage to use in a backtest. Trading conditions vary per broker you use so always pay close attention to trading costs on your own broker. Use a full automation at your own risk and discretion and do proper backtesting.

Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed IchimokuThe "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders who seek a unique perspective on market dynamics. This innovative indicator not only reverses the traditional candlestick chart but also inverts the Ichimoku Cloud components, providing a comprehensive view of the market's inverted behavior.
Key Features:
Reversed Candlestick Chart:
The indicator recalculates the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices by reversing them along the price axis. This means that what typically would be an upward movement is displayed as a downward movement, and vice versa. This reversal provides an alternative view that can help traders identify hidden patterns and potential reversal points that might not be obvious on a standard chart.
Reversed Ichimoku Cloud:
All components of the Ichimoku Cloud indicator are recalculated based on the reversed price data. This includes:
Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): Reversed based on the highest and lowest prices over the specified period.
Kijun-sen (Base Line): Reversed in a similar manner to the Tenkan-sen, providing a medium-term perspective on price trends.
Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): Reversed to form one boundary of the Kumo (cloud), offering insight into future support and resistance levels.
Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): Reversed to form the other boundary of the Kumo, complementing Senkou Span A.
Chikou Span (Lagging Span): Reversed and plotted backward for additional confirmation of trend direction and strength.
Dynamic Price Range Calculation:
The indicator dynamically calculates the maximum and minimum prices over the last 500 bars (or the available range if fewer bars are present). This ensures that the reversal is always based on the most relevant data, providing accurate and up-to-date visualizations.
Visual Enhancements:
The reversed candlesticks are color-coded for easy interpretation: green for upward movements and red for downward movements, based on the reversed data.
The Ichimoku Cloud is filled with semi-transparent colors to clearly distinguish between bullish and bearish conditions even in its reversed state.
Debugging Aids:
For transparency and accuracy, the indicator plots the maximum and minimum price lines used for the reversal calculations. This allows users to verify the internal workings of the indicator and ensure the reversal logic is correctly applied.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for advanced traders and analysts who want to explore market behavior from an unconventional angle. By reversing both the candlestick chart and the Ichimoku Cloud, it provides a unique perspective that can uncover new trading opportunities and enhance market analysis.
Customization:
Users can customize the periods for the Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, and Senkou Span B, as well as the displacement for the Ichimoku Cloud. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
Conclusion:
The "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a powerful tool that transforms traditional market analysis. By inverting both price movements and key technical indicators, it opens up a new dimension of trading insights, helping traders to see the market in a completely different light.
Parameters:
Tenkan-sen period (default: 9)
Kijun-sen period (default: 26)
Senkou Span B period (default: 52)
Displacement (default: 26)

Ichimoku Theories [LuxAlgo]The Ichimoku Theories indicator is the most complete Ichimoku tool you will ever need. Four tools combined into one to harness all the power of Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō.
This tool features the following concepts based on the work of Goichi Hosoda:
Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō: Original Ichimoku indicator with its five main lines and kumo.
Time Theory: automatic time cycle identification and forecasting to understand market timing.
Wave Theory: automatic wave identification to understand market structure.
Price Theory: automatic identification of developing N waves and possible price targets to understand future price behavior.
🔶 ICHIMOKU KINKŌ HYŌ
Ichimoku with lines only, Kumo only and both together
Let us start with the basics: the Ichimoku original indicator is a tool to understand the market, not to predict it, it is a trend-following tool, so it is best used in trending markets.
Ichimoku tells us what is happening in the market and what may happen next, the aim of the tool is to provide market understanding, not trading signals.
The tool is based on calculating the mid-point between the high and low of three pre-defined ranges as the equilibrium price for short (9 periods), medium (26 periods), and long (52 periods) time horizons:
Tenkan sen: middle point of the range of the last 9 candles
Kinjun sen: middle point of the range of the last 26 candles
Senkou span A: middle point between Tankan Sen and Kijun Sen, plotted 26 candles into the future
Senkou span B: midpoint of the range of the last 52 candles, plotted 26 candles into the future
Chikou span: closing price plotted 26 candles into the past
Kumo: area between Senkou pans A and B (kumo means cloud in Japanese)
The most basic use of the tool is to use the Kumo as an area of possible support or resistance.
🔶 TIME THEORY
Current cycles and forecast
Time theory is a critical concept used to identify historical and current market cycles, and use these to forecast the next ones. This concept is based on the Kihon Suchi (translating to "Basic Numbers" in Japanese), these are 9 and 26, and from their combinations we obtain the following sequence:
9, 17, 26, 33, 42, 51, 65, 76, 129, 172, 200, 257
The main idea is that the market moves in cycles with periods set by the Kihon Suchi sequence.
When the cycle has the same exact periods, we obtain the Taito Suchi (translating to "Same Number" in Japanese).
This tool allows traders to identify historical and current market cycles and forecast the next one.
🔹 Time Cycle Identification
Presentation of 4 different modes: SWINGS, HIGHS, KINJUN, and WAVES .
The tool draws a horizontal line at the bottom of the chart showing the cycles detected and their size.
The following settings are used:
Time Cycle Mode: up to 7 different modes
Wave Cycle: Which wave to use when WAVE mode is selected, only active waves in the Wave Theory settings will be used.
Show Time Cycles: keep a cleaner chart by disabling cycles visualisation
Show last X time cycles: how many cycles to display
🔹 Time Cycle Forecast
Showcasing the two forecasting patterns: Kihon Suchi and Taito Suchi
The tool plots horizontal lines, a solid anchor line, and several dotted forecast lines.
The following settings are used:
Show time cycle forecast: to keep things clean
Forecast Pattern: comes in two flavors
Kihon Suchi plots a line from the anchor at each number in the Kihon Suchi sequence.
Taito Suchi plot lines from the anchor with the same size detected in the anchored cycle
Anchor forecast on last X time cycle: traders can place the anchor in any detected cycle
🔶 WAVE THEORY
All waves activated with overlapping
The main idea behind this theory is that markets move like waves in the sea, back and forth (making swing lows and highs). Understanding the current market structure is key to having realistic expectations of what the market may do next. The waves are divided into Simple and Complex.
The following settings are used:
Basic Waves: allows traders to activate waves I, V and N
Complex Waves: allows traders to activate waves P, Y and W
Overlapping waves: to avoid missing out on any of the waves activated
Show last X waves: how many waves will be displayed
🔹 Basic Waves
The three basic waves
The basic waves from which all waves are made are I, V, and N
I wave: one leg moves
V wave: two legs move, one against the other
N wave: Three legs move, push, pull back, and another push
🔹 Complex Waves
Three complex waves
There are other waves like
P wave: contracting market
Y wave: expanding market
W wave: double top or double bottom
🔶 PRICE THEORY
All targets for the current N wave with their calculations
This theory is based on identifying developing N waves and predicting potential price targets based on that developing wave.
The tool displays 4 basic targets (V, E, N, and NT) and 3 extended targets (2E and 3E) according to the calculations shown in the chart above. Traders can enable or disable each target in the settings panel.
🔶 USING EVERYTHING TOGETHER
Please DON'T do this. This is not how you use it
Now the real example:
Daily chart of Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ1!) with our Ichimoku analysis
Time, waves, and price theories go together as one:
First, we identify the current time cycles and wave structure.
Then we forecast the next cycle and possible key price levels.
We identify a Taito Suchi with both legs of exactly 41 candles on each I wave, both together forming a V wave, the last two I waves are part of a developing N wave, and the time cycle of the first one is 191 candles. We forecast this cycle into the future and get 22nd April as a key date, so in 6 trading days (as of this writing) the market would have completed another Taito Suchi pattern if a new wave and time cycle starts. As we have a developing N wave we can see the potential price targets, the price is actually between the NT and V targets. We have a bullish Kumo and the price is touching it, if this Kumo provides enough support for the price to go further, the market could reach N or E targets.
So we have identified the cycle and wave, our expectations are that the current cycle is another Taito Suchi and the current wave is an N wave, the first I wave went for 191 candles, and we expect the second and third I waves together to amount to 191 candles, so in theory the N wave would complete in the next 6 trading days making a swing high. If this is indeed the case, the price could reach the V target (it is almost there) or even the N target if the bulls have the necessary strength.
We do not predict the future, we can only aim to understand the current market conditions and have future expectations of when (time), how (wave), and where (price) the market will make the next turning point where one side of the market overcomes the other (bulls vs bears).
To generate this chart, we change the following settings from the default ones:

Banded Chikou Breakout — Quantifying Ichimoku MomentumTitle: Banded Chikou Breakout — Quantifying Ichimoku Momentum
Overview:
Banded Chikou Breakout (BCB) is a unique, algorithmic script designed to augment the capabilities of traders seeking substantial breakout opportunities. Constructed on the robust principles of the Ichimoku trading strategy, BCB is designed to quantify and filter the Chikou Span's significant breakouts above or below the price action. This script does not aim to replace the Ichimoku system; instead, it enhances it, providing an optimized tool for momentum trading.
Rationale:
Ichimoku traders often scrutinize the Chikou Span's position relative to price action to identify market trends. However, determining whether the Chikou Span is above or below due to a genuine trend or mere market noise can be challenging in choppy markets. BCB resolves this predicament by offering a unique way to interpret the Chikou Span's movement. It does so by quantifying the Chikou Span's momentum and utilizing Bollinger Bands to determine its significance. By effectively differentiating substantial movements from the insignificant, BCB can help traders better navigate the market and increase their potential for profitable trades.
How it Works:
BCB combines three key elements: a Momentum Script (simulating Chikou Span), a Bollinger Band Script, and a Timeframe Switcher, all working together to provide a refined trading perspective.
Momentum Script: Calculates the price difference between the current price and the price 'n' periods ago, transforming the Chikou Span into a quantifiable momentum value that signifies the strength and speed of a market move.
Bollinger Band Script: Computes a Simple Moving Average (SMA) around the momentum, plotting two 'bands' at a specified standard deviation from this SMA. This functionality allows traders to discern when the Chikou Span's momentum is abnormally high or low, signifying a potential significant breakout.
Timeframe Switcher: This feature lets traders apply the BCB script to a different timeframe from the one they are currently viewing. This capability can help traders identify higher timeframe breakouts and trade them with precision on the lower timeframe.
How to Use:
BCB is designed to complement the Ichimoku strategy for effective breakout identification.
Add the BCB script to your trading chart. It plots the momentum (yellow line) and Bollinger Bands (green lines) with the area between the bands shaded blue.
Utilize the Ichimoku strategy to identify larger and smaller timeframe trends.
Optional: Leverage the timeframe switcher to synchronize your trades with higher timeframe trends while operating on lower timeframes.
If the BCB momentum line crosses the upper Bollinger Band while the Ichimoku indicates a bullish trend, it signifies a potential significant upward breakout. Similarly, a cross below the lower band during a bearish trend could denote a significant downward breakout.
Remember, without the context provided by the Ichimoku system's trend analysis, BCB can yield false breakouts. It is, therefore, crucial to use these tools in tandem. I like to check for an Ichimoku trend on the 4H and 1H charts, and then use BCB on charts <60 minutes to capture trends with precision.

Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Ichimoku Cloud and ADX with Trailing Stop Loss (by Coinrule)The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
The Ichimoku Cloud was developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist, and published in the late 1960s. It provides more data points than the standard candlestick chart. While it seems complicated at first glance, those familiar with how to read the charts often find it easy to understand with well-defined trading signals.
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
DMI is simple to interpret. When +DI > - DI, it means the price is trending up. On the other hand, when -DI > +DI, the trend is weak or moving on the downside. The ADX does not give an indication of the direction but about the strength of the trend.
Typically values of ADX above 25 mean that the trend is steeply moving up or down, based on the -DI and +DI positioning. This script aims to capture swings in the DMI, and thus, in the trend of the asset, using a contrarian approach.
Trading on high values of ADX, the strategy tries to spot extremely oversold and overbought conditions. Values of ADX above 45 may suggest that the trend has overextended and is maybe about to reverse.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with the ADX indicator to better enter trades.
Long orders are placed when these basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
-DI is greater than +DI
ADX is greater than 45
Close Position:
3% increase trailing
3% decrease trailing
The script is backtested from December 2022 and provides good returns.
A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.

Close is above the Kumo Cloud
MACD line crosses over the signal line
-DI is greater than +DI
ADX is greater than 45
Close Position:
3% increase trailing
3% decrease trailing
The script is backtested from 1 January 2018 and provides good returns.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
This script also works well on MATIC (1d timeframe), ETH (1d timeframe), and SOL (1d timeframe).
Ichimoku Breakout Kumo SWING TRADER (By Insert Cheese)A simple strategy for long spot or long futures (swing traders) based on a basic method of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo strategies.
The strategy is simple:
- Buy when the price breaks the cloud
- Close the trade when the price closes again inside the cloud.
The parameters that work best on this strategy are 10,30,60,30 and 1 for Senkou-Span A
but you can try classic Ichimoku parameters (9,26,52,26,26) or whatever you want like (7,22,44,22,22), (10,30,60,30,30) and others.
-1D chart
I have removed everything from the interface except the cloud to make it visually more aesthetic :D (but if you want to see all the ichimoku indicator you can put in again into the chart)
I have also added several functions for you to do your own backtesting:
- Date range
- TP AND SL method
- Includes long or short trades
The strategy starts with 500 $ and use 100% for trade to make the power of the compounding :P
Remember that this is for only educational porpouse and you must to do your own research and backtested on your usually market..
I hope you like it enjoy and support this indicator :)

A Bollinger Band is a technical analysis tool defined by a set of trendlines plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average ( SMA ) of a security's price, but which can be adjusted to user preferences. They can suggest when an asset is oversold or overbought in the short term, thus providing the best time for buying and selling it.
This strategy combines the Ichimoku Cloud with Bollinger Bands to better enter trades.
Long orders are placed when these basic signals are triggered.
Long Position:
Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is above the close of 26 bars ago
Close is above the Kumo Cloud
The closing price is greater than the upper standard deviation of the Bollinger Bands
Short Position:
Tenkan-Sen is below the Kijun-Sen
Chikou-Span is below the close of 26 bars ago
Close is below the Kumo Cloud
The upper standard deviation of the Bollinger Band is greater than the closing price
The script is backtested from 1 January 2022 and provides good returns.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
This script also works well on BTC 30m/1h, ETH 2h, MATIC 2h/30m, AVAX 1h/2h, SOL 45m timeframes
Ichimoku ImbalanceYou may have heard the word balance or imbalance
This indicator is designed based on Ichimoku periods to display imbalances in each period
When you see a black mark, it means that one of the Ichimoku periods is saturated or unbalanced
If the current candle was equal to the lowest price on 9/26/52 of the last period and the highest price was equal to the last candle from left on 9/26/52 of the last period
If the current candle was equal to the highest price on 9/26/52 of the last period and the lowest price was equal to the last candle from right on 9/26/52 of the last period
This indicator is a useful and powerful tool for Ichimoku traders to understand overbought and oversold points in different time periods.
Note: This is an auxiliary tool and does not issue buy and sell signals
Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by GammaprodI. How to use this indicator :
------------------------------
I.1. Set your teadingview theme to dark theme.
I.2. Gammaprod indicator is valid for forex, stock and but more valid for crypto.
I.3. Use three timeframe for more validation (choose between those, that fit to your trading style) :
- Timeframe 1m, 5m, and 15m for Scalping
- Timeframe 30m, 1h and 4h for Intraday
- Timeframe 4h, 1D and 1W for Swing Trading
I.4 Always use THREE INDICATORS FROM GAMMAPROD, those three indicators is back to back each other, by the way, I only made those three indicators only (for now) :
- Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by Gammaprod
- MACD Volume S2 by Gammaprod
- Stoch RSI Divs Zone S2 by Gammaprod
============================================================================
II. How to setting :
--------------------
II.1. Trendlines Boll Ichi Crypto by Gammaprod
II.1.A. Support and Resistance
- Well if you familiar with this indicator you can add it, but recommended for Timeframe 30m or more
II.1.B. Trendlines Primary or Trendlines Secondary
- Timeframe 1m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Primary or Trendlines Secondary
- Timeframe 5m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Secondary, but you CAN ADD Trendlines Primary if you fell it helpful (for me, it is helpful to find where the candles start or the end trend or a consolidation or where the candles will surpass a resistance or a support).
- Timeframe 15m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Secondary, DEFENITELY add Trendlines Primary it will help to find where the candles stop or a consolidation or where the candles will surpass a resistance or a support).
- Timeframe 30m or more, DEFENITELY NEED BOTH Trendlines Primary and Secondary Trendlines, it will help to find where the candle stop or consolidation or where the candle will surpass a resistance or support).
II.1.C. Bollinger, Ichimoku Cloud and Lagging Span
- Please DON'T CHANGE IT at all, it's really helpful to know when and where to make an entry decesion or a trend or a consolidation, if you don't understand how to read it, you better to learn it first (on "how to read" section and "How to OPEN position" the section below)
II.2. Stoch RSI Divs Zone Crypto by Gammaprod (DON'T CHANGE IT)
II.3. MACD Volume Crypto by Gammaprod (DON'T CHANGE IT)
============================================================================
III. How to read :
------------------
III.1. Sell or Buy Priority :
III.1.A. Sell Priority
- Color background on macd and stoch rsi is pink or purple sell is the priority, (if you're not sure to buy, just wait until the best moment to sell)
III.1.B. Buy Priority
- Color background on macd and stoch rsi Teal or light green buy is the priority, (if you're not sure to sell, just wait until the best moment to buy)
III.1.C. Indecision / Golden Moment
- Color background on stoch rsi yellow is indecision / golden moment of reversal pattern (wait until it formed background only on Stoch RSI), please be careful at this moment.
III.2. Trend / Consolidation :
III.2.A. BULLISH trend
- When Stoch RSI and MACD have teal or light green background that's means BULLISH trend, better to confirm by the candle is above green cloud and lagging span (red line) is also above the candle.
III.2.B. BEARISH trend
- When Stoch RSI and MACD have the Pink or purple background that's means BEARISH trend, better to confirm by the candle is above purple cloud and lagging span (red line) is also below the candle.
III.2.C. CONSOLIDATION
- When Stoch RSI have the mix background that's means CONSOLIDATION, better to confirm by the candle is in or near to green / purple cloud and lagging span (red line) is also on the candle.
III.3. Special Mark
III.3.A. Ideal Bullish :
- Near line 20 and green / teal background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on lime color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for buy
III.3.B. Not an Ideal Bullish :
- Near line 80 and green / teal background = if this happens make sure you know what happen, it could be a false signal or bullish continual pattern
III.3.C. Ideal Bearish :
- Near line 80 and pink / purple background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on lime color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for sell position.
III.3.D. Not an Ideal Bearish:
- Near line 20 and pink / purple background = if this happens make sure you know what happen, it could be a false signal or bearish continual pattern
III.3.E. The Beginning of Reversal (from BEARISH to BULLISH) :
- When Stoch RSI line shaping GREEN position is near 20.
- MACD lines still PINK, position lines is UNDER the HISTOGRAM, but the HISTOGRAM start to SHAPE FALL PINK (light pink) and the BACKGROUND still PINK / PURPLE.
- Position CANDLES NEAR BLUE line, NEAR PURPLE CLOUD, and lagging span (red line) STILL ON the area candle. (it used to be confirmed with the golden moment).
III.3.F. The Beginning of Reversal (from BULLISH to BEARISH) :
- When Stoch RSI line shaping PINK position is near 80.
- MACD lines still GREEN, position lines is ABOVE the HISTOGRAM, but the HISTOGRAM start to SHAPE FALL GREEN (light green) and the BACKGROUND still TEAL / GREEN.
- Position CANDLES NEAR WHITE line, NEAR TEAL CLOUD, and lagging span (red line) STILL ON the area candle. (it used to be confirmed with the golden moment).
III.3.G. False Signals, or It could be a Golden Moment (better to see it on TF 15 or bigger):
- Near line 20 or 80 and yellow background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy / sell position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for buy / sell depends on where the Stoch RSI line if near 20 that's means buy, near 80 means sell
============================================================================
IV. How to OPEN position:
-------------------------
IV.1. Bullish
IV.1.A. Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by Gammaprod

- Teal or Green background.
- The lines is shaped or shaping green.
- Better if at the green histogram.
IV.1.C. Stoch RSI Divs Zone S3 by Gammaprod
- Teal or Green background.
- The lines is shaping green.
- Better if on the bottom (at a range 20).
IV.2. Bearish
IV.2.A. Trendlines Boll Ichi S1 by Gammaprod

============================================================================
>> The secret ingredient is comparing the timeframe :
The example scalping (Timeframe 1m, 5m and 15m)
- TF 1m is for making an open position.
- TF 5m is for making a judgement of the trend market.
- TF 15m is to confirm that judgement from TF 5m, be careful if it not similar then it used to be a consolidation or the beginning of the reversal.
There's a lot a way to open the position than above information that i gave it to you, but consider there are a limit chars on this column, I hope it will help your trading and make a more profit on it.

Ichimoku [2022] [v5] [keivanipchihagh]A more personalized ichimoki indicator with more configurations.
This indicator is exactly like the original ichimoku indicator, but with 104 Line (x4 timeframe) , 208 Line (x8 timeframe) , Quality Line and Tenken-sen & Kijun-sen crossovers added as well. The extras added to the indicator can simply be hidden in order to make the chart look less full.
104 Line : The formula is to average the highest and lowest point of the last 104 candles. This is to see the x4 time-frame as well, which shows a strong support and resistance line.
208 Line : The formula is to average the highest and lowest point of the last 208 candles. This is to see the 84 time-frame as well, which shows even a stronger support and resistance line.
Quality Line : It's exactly the same the Kijun-sen but with a positive offset of 26.
Tenken-sen & Kijun-sen Crossoveers : Just to make it easier to see the crossovers.
In future updates, I'm going to add more components and make it more insightful than it currently is. Ideas would be appreciated (:
Double Ichimoku Cloud with drop-down selectable lookback periodsThis script will display two Kumo Clouds. The overlap between the clouds can be areas of high support or resistance. I've included a drop-down selector for a variety of common lookback periods. Experiments show that the 10-30-60-30 settings can be more applicable to the FOREX and Crypto markets.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo [+Conditions]version 5 script - Future Cloud visible at real-time
This Ichimoku Indicator has 30 conditions identified for usage such:
Thick cloud identification (relative to the historic cloud thickness), Chikou in open area, Thin cloud identification (Relative to %), Price movements near Tenkan and Kijun and many more.

You can select timeframe and set Inputs for lines from Indicator setting.
Good trading to all ...
MTF Ichimoku Analysis[tanayroy]Ichimoku can state market conditions better than any indicator or group of indicators(My own perspective). Ichimoku works seamlessly in different timeframes. Analysis of Ichimoku in different timeframes can give you the bigger picture of the market.
This indicator analyzes six different timeframes with Ichimoku in depth. Default timeframes are 5M, 30M, 60M, D, W, and M. You can change the default timeframes from the setting.
As we are dealing with many relations, we can define the relationship with a simple score to get the trend strength.
Ichimoku Analysis:
Relationship of Price(P) with Ichimoku indicators: Here we are analyzing the current price and Ichimoku indicators. The position of price with respect to Ichimoku indicators states the market condition clearly.
Price(P) and Kumo(C): P > C = Bullish (↑). P < C = Bearish (↓). P <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±2
Price(P) and Tenkan Sen(T): P >= T = Bullish (↑). P < T = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Price(P) and Kijun Sen(K): P >= K = Bullish (↑). P < T = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Price(26 bars ago) and Chiku(L): L >= P(26) = Bullish (↑). L < P(26) = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen Relation. Tenkan Sen depicts short-term trends and Kijun depicts mid-term trends. So this relationship is important for analyzing the current trend of the market.
Tenkan Sen(T) and Kijun Sen(K): T >= K = Bullish (↑). T < K = Bearish (↓). Score: ±2
Direction of Ichimoku indicators.
The direction of Ichimoku indicators helps us to understand the trend strength.
Tenkan Sen's(T) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kijun Sen's(K) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Senkou A(A) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Senkou B(A) direction: Upward slope = Bullish (↑). Downward slope = Bearish (↓). Flat=consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Cloud and other Ichimoku indicators:
Kumo or Cloud is very important in the Ichimoku system. Analyzing its relation with other indicators is important to detect the overall market condition.
Kumo(C) and Tenkan Sen(T): T >= C = Bullish (↑). T < C = Bearish (↓). T <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) and Kijun Sen(K): K >= C = Bullish (↑). K < C = Bearish (↓). K <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) and Chiku(L): L >= C = Bullish (↑). L < C = Bearish (↓). L <> C = consolidation or no trend(↔). Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) Shadow: By analyzing the last 252 bars(you can change this option) we are analyzing the Kumo shadow behind the current price. If Kumo shadow is present behind the price, trend strength will be weakened. Score: ±0.5
Kumo(C) Future (Senkou A(A) and Senkou B(B)): A >= B = Bullish (↑). A < B = Bearish (↓). Score: ±0.5
Chiku(L) Analysis:
Vertical and Horizontal Chiku analysis will tell us about the possible consolidation of the price.
Chiku Vertical: if the price consolidates for the next 5 bars(You can change this option) will it run into the price. Please remember we are placing the current price 26 bars ago and we are interested to see the current price in open space for a clear trend. Score: ±0.5
Chikou Horizontal: If Chiku is in open space (Not running into the price), we want to review Chiku vertically i.e how much percentage of fall or rise of the current price can cause Chiku to run into the price.
So, the maximum trend score is ±10.5.
Ichimoku signals:
We know, that the crossover of Ichimoku indicators provides important signals. In this section, you can see all the crossover i.e when they happened (Bars ago)
Distance between price and Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen: We know, the price come back to Tenkan/Kijun if it goes far away from Tenkan/Kijun. So it is important to note the distance between Tenkan and Price.
Please note that this indicator is not a strategy or buy/sell signal. It just shows you the picture of Ichimoku in multiple timeframes. I am working on some strategies of Ichimoku and will publish the same when my research is complete.
If you want to analyze Ichimoku in a single timeframe, please review the following indicator.
To maintain the table size you can use the shorthand notation from the setting.

MZ Adaptive Ichimoku Cloud (Volume, Volatility, Chikou Filter) This study is a functional enhancement to conventionally used Ichimoku Clouds . It uses particular effective adaptive parameters (Relative Volume Strength Index (MZ RVSI ), Volatility and Chikou Backward Trend Filter) to adapt dynamic lengths for Kijun-sen, Tenkan-sen, Senkou-span and Chikou .
This study uses complete available Ichimoku Clouds trading methodology to provide trade confirmations. Its still in experimental phase so will be updated accordingly.
ADAPTIVE LENGTH PARAMETERS
Relative Volume Strength Index (MZ RVSI )
For adaptive length, I tried using Volume and for this purpose I used my Relative Volume Strength Index " RVSI " indicator. RVSI is the best way to detect if Volume is going for a breakout or not and based on that indication length changes.
RVSI breaking above provided value would indicate Volume breakout and hence dynamic length would accordingly make Ichimoku Clouds more over-fitted to better act as support and resistance . Similar case would happen if Volume goes down and dynamic length becomes more under-fit.
Original RVSI Library and study can be found here:
Volatility
Average true range is used as volatility measurement and detection tool. Dual ATR condition would decide over-fitting or under-fitting of curve.
Chikou Backward Trend Filter
Chikou is basically close value of ticker offset to close and it is a good for indicating if close value has crossed potential Support/Resistance zone from past. Chikou is usually used with 26 period.
Chikou filter uses a lookback length calculated from provided lookback percentage and checks if trend was bullish or bearish within that lookback period.
Original Chikou Filter library and study can be found here:
ADAPTIVE ICHIMOKU CLOUD
Tenkan-Sen (Conversion Line)
Tenkan-sen is a moving average that is calculated by taking the average of the high and the low for the last nine periods conventionally but in this study its length is dynamically adapted based on Volume, Volatility and Chikou filter. Default adaption range is set to 9-30 which I found universally applicable to almost every market on all time-frames.
Kijun-Sen (Base Line)
The Kijun-Sen is usually considered a support/resistance line which also acts as an indicator of price movements in the future and takes a longer period into consideration, usually 26 periods compared to Tenkan-Sen’s nine periods is used conventionally. In this study, its length is set to vary in range of 20-60 based on adaptive parameters.
Senkou-Span (Leading Span)
Senkou-Span A : Senkou Span A is the average of the highs and lows of Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen so it automatically adapts accroding to dynamic lengths of Tenkan and Kijun.
Senkou-Span B : Senkou Span B is usually calculated by averaging highs and lows of the past 52 periods and plotting it 26 points to the right but this study uses adaptive parameters to adapt its dynamic length in range of 50-120 which makes Kumo (Ichimoku Cloud) a better area for support and resistance. I don’t consider its necessary to adapt Kumo’s displacement to the right, so I used conventional 26 period as offset.
Chikou -Span (Lagging Span)
The Chikou Span, also known as the lagging span is formed by taking the price source and offsetting it back 26 periods to the left but I used adaptive length in range 26-50 which makes this tool a better option to check for Chikou -Price cross check in wide range.
TRADE SIGNALS & CONFIRMATIONS
Volume : RVSI used to detect volume breakout about given point. By default, On Balance Volume based RVSI is selected for all dynamic length adaption and also for trade confirmations.
Cross(Tenkan,Kijun) : Easiest way to detect trend as if Tenkan is above Kijun then market is uptrend and vice versa.
Volatility : High volatility is a good way to confirm if price is on the move or not.
Tenkan = Kijun : Because of a wide range of Tenkan and Kijun length; their value can become equal before reversal.
Chikou > Source : A very conventional way to detect price momentum as if Chikou is above price then market is in uptrend and vice versa.
Chikou Momentum : Another simpler way to represent Chikou > Source as if momentum of price source is uptrend then price will tend to follow.
Source > Kumo : Using the best tool of Ichimoku Clouds i.e. Kumo. If price crosses both Senkou-Span A & B then market has broken potential resistance leading to a good uptrend and vice versa.
Source > Tenkan : Better way to detect price trend in short term.
Chikou Backward Trend Filter : Different from Chikou >Source in a way that Chikou filter makes sure that price crosses highest/lowest within defined period.
CHARTING
Bars Coloring : Bars coloring is set as following :
src > tenkan-Sen and src > kijun-Sen : Strong uptrend detection and shown by green bars.
src < tenkan-Sen and src < kijun-Sen : Strong downtrend detection and shown by green bars.
src > tenkan-Sen and src < kijun-Sen : Better way to detect bottom reversals as if price comes above tenkan but remains below kijun; that’s early signs of recovery. Light red bars are used for this by default.
src < tenkan-Sen and src > kijun-Sen : Better way to detect top reversals as if price comes below tenkan but remains above kijun; that’s early signs of losing potential in uptrend. Dark Grey bars are used for this by default.
Kumo Coloring : Following steps are used to derive Kumo’s dynamic color:
Average of Senkou-span A and B is calculated.
RSI with 14 period of that average is calculated.
Gradient color based on calculated RSI values with 0-100 range is derived which is final Kumo color.
Chikou Span Coloring : Dynamic coloring from Chikou Filter is used as Indicator’s Chikou ’s color.
Signals Overlay : Red and Green small triangles are used as signals overlay.
Ichimoku VariationsThe Ichimoku cloud is traditionally constructed from the highest high and lowest low for a number of periods. This script allows for it to be transformed and calculated like more traditional moving averages (e.g. simple moving average, exponential moving average). Since the Ichimoku is normally a system of moving average-like lines, maybe someone out there will learn something from being able to switch to sma, ema, etc etc.
In general, I think no TA indicator is a magic bullet, and you should just use what you like!

Ichimoku Cloud MasterIchimoku Cloud Master aims to provide the ichimoku trader with easy alert functionality to not miss out on valuable trade setups. The key purpose of this script is to better visualise crucial moments in Ichimoku trading. These alerts should not be used for botting in my opinion as they always need a human to confirm the ichimoku market structure. For example, is the Kijun-Sen flat and too far away from price? A good ichimoku trader will not enter at such a point in time.
Explanation of script:
Chikou(lagging span): pink line, this is price plotted 26 bars ago. People ignore the power of this it is crucial to see how chikou behaves towards past price action as seen in the chart below where we got an entry at red arrow because chikou bounced from past fractal bottom.
Kijun-Sen(base line): Black line or color coded line. This is the equilibrium of last 26 candles. To me this is the most important line in the system as it attracts price.
Kijun = (Highest high of 26 periods + Lowest low of 26 periods) ÷ 2
Tenkan-Sen(conversion line): Blue line. This is the equilibrium of last 9 candles. In a strong uptrend price stays above this line.
Tenkan = (Highest high of 9 periods + Lowest low of 9 periods) ÷ 2
Senkou A (Leading span A)= Pink cloud line, this is the average of the 2 components projected 26 bars in the future.
Senkou A = (Tenkan + Kijun) ÷ 2
Senkou B (Leading span B) = Green cloud line, this is the 52 day equilibrium projected 26 bars in the future.
Senkou B = (Highest high of prior 52 periods + Lowest low of prior 52 periods) ÷ 2
Notice how the distance between Chikou and the cloud is also 52 bars. This is all part of Hosoda's numbers which I am not going to explain here.
Fractals: These are the black triangles you find at key turning point. If you want to know how they work reseach williams fractals. I've used fractals with a period of 9 as it is an ichimoku number. These fractals are useful when working with ichimoku wave theory. Again I will not explain that here but in further education
Fractal Support: Ability to extend lines from the fractals which can be used as an entry/exit mechanism in your trading. For example wait for tenkan to cross kijun and then enter on fractal breakout.
Signals:
Crossing of Chikou (lagging span) with past Kijun-Sen: this will color code the Bars / Kijun-Sen (you can turn this off in options)
The script also has a signal for this, this will be the green and purple diamonds. Where green is bullish and purple is bearish.
wy is this important?
When current price plotted 26 candles back (chikou) crosses over the past equilibrium (kijun-sen) this usualy means price has moved past resistance levels where sellers come in. This indicates a switch in market structure and price is bullish from this point, this is the same in the other direction.
Kumo Twist: when the kumo cloud (future) has a crossover from for example green to red (bull to bear). The script plots these using the colored cross symbols as seen in the picture above. A chikou cross + a Kumo twist at same bar of next to eachother below the cloud can be a great entry sign: this would be an entry after cross in the chart above.
Kijun Bounce: when in an uptrend the price retraces back to Kijun-Sen and starts to go back up. These are marked by the yellow circles as seen in chart below:
low below Kijun-Sen and close above it
Strong Trend: when Tenkan is above Kijun, price above cloud, future cloud green, chikou above close, chikou above Kijun we establish a strong bullish trend. For bearish the exact opposite. The script has a function to send an alert at the start of such trends and to plot them with small colored circles above the bars.
Customisation:
I've added options to disable specific aspects of the indicator for those traders who do not want to use all aspects of the indicator. In the customisation tab I've given each part a clear title so you can use your own colors/shapes.
The perfect entry?
Further info:
Look into my education pane, I will be adding education in the future. The chance of me making a more advanced version of the script including line forecasting etc is rather high so watch out for that.
For those who want to master this system I recommend reading the book:
How to make money with the ichimoku system by Balkrishna M. Sadekar
Or the originals books by Hosoda the inventor of Ichimoku if you can get your hands on them and can read Japanese.
Almost all info about the ichimoku system you find on the internet will lose you money because they reduce the system to simple signals that do not generate money.
I will be providing educational material on tradingview using this indicator.
