Chikou Span 'Open Space' ColorsThe Ichimoku Clouds strategy has been one of my favorite scripts to work with since I came across it a few months ago, so I thought I'd share one of the automated features I created for the strategy.
For the purpose of this script, I'll only explain the Chikou Span aspect of it since there are plenty of other explanations about Ichimoku Clouds.
The Chikou Span is one of the most useful aspects of the Ichimoku Clouds strategy despite it not being used in most people's strategies. It is calculated by simply taking the current closing value and plotting it backwards 26 bars. The Chikou Span is used to identify large trend moves and trend reversals by what is referred to as 'open space'. This occurs when the Chikou Span is not intersecting any candlestick within 10 bars (if you were to draw a horizontal line from the tip of the Chikou Span, it would not touch any part of a candle within 10 bars).
The purpose of this script is to better identify the Chikou Span reaching 'open space' by coloring the Chikou Span's line:
- Green when it is in upwards open space (bullish trend), and
- Red when it is in downwards open space (bearish trend).
I've also included my personal color scheme for the Ichimoku Clouds strategy as well as inputs to turn on/off every aspect of the strategy.
** Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT TRADING ADVICE. The Chikou Span should not be used on its own to make any trades. When trading with the Ichimoku Cloud strategy, one should utilize all 5 lines of the strategy to make realistic trades. If you'd like to learn more, I'd recommend reading "Trading with Ichimoku Clouds - The Essential Guide to Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Technical Analysis" **
Nube Ichimoku
Kapua Whenua LANDZZ1Kapua Whenua means Earth's Clouds in Maori language, this indicator was created to show impulses and trends of the asset's price movement both up and down.
The Indicator was made based on key numbers of the golden ratio:
Conversion Line: Kw 17 (Purple Color)
Kw 34 - Short Period Fractal (Light Blue Color)
Kw 72 - Short/Medium Period Fractal (Orange)
Kw 144 - Medium Period Fractal (Yellow Color)
Kw 305 - Medium/Long Period Fractal (Dark Blue Color)
Kw 610 - Long Period Fractal (Grey)
Kw 1292 - Long Period Fractal+ (Black Color)
The baseline or also called the conversion line is identified by the Color Purple of value 17.
How to read the indicator:
Every time the conversion line (Purple Color 17 periods) crosses a Kw value (Kapua Whenua) it will always look for the next KW line above or below the value as support or resistance.
For example:
If we are in a bull market, and the price crosses below the KW17 conversion line it will go towards KW 34 as support, if the price breaks KW 34 it will go towards the next line below KW 34 as support.
Every time the conversion line or the price crosses a higher value of Kapua Whenua (KW) this trend will be stronger, it means, if the conversion line (KW 17) crosses above KW 305 it will indicate more strength than if it had crossed above the KW 72 or 144 for example. So to get better results trading with the trend, always observe if the conversion line and the price are below or above some Medium/Long Period KW.
Note also that, in an uptrend, it could be that all KW are below each other. In a downtrend, it could be that all KW are on top of each other. This indicates that the farther the price is from the fractals the stronger the trend is, also, when there is a narrowing of the fractals means that the price will start to go sideways. If the price is between 2 or more Fractals, it will indicate consolidation.
A really good trend is considered when the price or the Short/Medium Period Fractals are all above or below at KW 610, which is a long period fractal, meaning a strong uptrend or downtrend.
A larger KW can be at the same point as a smaller KW, however, the stronger color will be shown above the weaker one.
***Larger chart timeframes are better to see longer KW fractals that are above or below the price, if your chart timeframe doesn't show a bigger support or resistance fractal, change the chart time to another longer period**
Tip - Get used to looking at line colors as your indicators, just like moving averages. You can also take or place any fractal at any time in the configuration menu.
ICHIMOKU Trading betaIchimoku Kinko Hyo is a trend-following trading system with 5 indicators. All the five indicators have a different purpose and successful Ichimoku trading required in-depth analysis of all indicators. The script interpreted each indicator and develop a score to indicate the overall strength.
I have taken the idea from the book “Trading with Ichimoku Clouds by MANESH PATEL”. The scoring system is mine to get an idea about how all the indicators are performing together.
If most of the indicators are confirming then the score will be high.
I am very new to Pinescript, so waiting for your comments and review.

Equilibriums -- Based on Ichimoku Kinko HyoIntro:
Hello dear traders. Lately I have been studying Ichimoku for trading. Personaly I find myself in a long lasting quest of creating an automated trading strategy that works.
Let me tell you it aint easy. On this route I made countless of indicators some of which are worthless, others that have some potential. I did not publish these indicators as I do not want to bother people with sub par indicators that waste your time. My belief is strong and some day I will probably succeed in creating a working strategy.
About the indicator:
While researching Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (thanks chaostrader69 for providing such invaluable knowledge) I came across the numbers that define ichimoku. The Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines and even the cloud are based on these numbers and create market equilibrium. The market always wants to return to this equilibrium. As a pine scripter and curious individual I made this indicator to expand the Tenkan and Kijun lines to more of these ichimoku number periods.
Ofcourse this creates a mess of an indicator especialy when combined with the real ichimoku which is already too much info to grasp and apply correctly for most traders. I can not recommend any strategy with this indicator and that is why I want to deliver this simple script to the public. Opinions and trading theorys regarding these lines are very welcome.
As you can see by the chart on the publication of this script the lines where nice and open and not crossing eachother in a clear uptrend. While when it was trading sideways the lines did not show direction at all and where close to eachother and crossing. Thx for taking the time to read this and possibly giving feedback. Feedback on the colors/line thickness is also welcome as I want my indicators to be beautiful!

BT CloudBT Cloud is a trading system with an advanced chart overlay showing a very reliable Trend Indicator based off Price, Trend, Momentum, and Market Structure.
Inspired by the Ichimoku Cloud, Parabolic SAR, and Exponential Moving Averages the BT Cloud removes the unnecessary fluff and focuses on the Golden Zone 0.618 to 0.50 Levels on the current time frame for typical RSI length (14) settings.
User should pay attention to where the cloud reverses directions. These areas are 50% ranges of significance and have a high chance of acting like target zones for support and resistance in the future.
This indicator will allow the user to make observations around how extended the trends against each other as well as serving as basis for divergence and trendline studies drawn in manually by the user. The oscillator will turn green/red as observable on the main chart overlay.

IchiAlerts StudyIchimoku Alerts is an indicator born from the Ichimoku Cloud .
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 the chart. It also uses these figures to compute a cloud which attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
We have combined several key elements of the Ichimoku Cloud to produce our unique Ichimoku Alerts indicator.
There is also a strategy version so you can backtest results if you so wish to, which I will also share on TradingView.
This indicator can be automated and adapted to fit other timeframes (I've managed to create a nice bot on the 5M timeframe with specific Ichimoku settings).
The Indicator will also print exit signals when the conversion line (blue line in the image) crossed the base line (white line in the image).
If these blue and white lines were to cross again while all other conditions of this indicator are still being met, it will fire a secondary long/short signal. The image above provides a perfect example of a primary short signal, followed by an exit signal, followed by a secondary short signal. In this instance, both signals were winning trades.
Settings within the study contain exactly the same settings you'd find in the standard Ichimoku cloud ...
- Recommended settings for Crypto are 20-60-120-30
When framing a trade after receiving a signal, you should....
- place your stop loss a the lowest cloud line (for longs) or the highest cloud line (for shorts). See image above for a short example
- Your Take profit target is yours to decide, but taking proper risk management is key, and I would advise to aim for a risk/reward ratio of 1:1.5
Hopefully I have covered the basics of this indicator. It's simple yet very effective at providing signals of changes in trend, and with the added bonus of being able to alert those changes, means you don't have to check multiple charts every hour or so!
Ichimoku Crypto Cloud 11-30-61A minor adjustment to the original Ichimoku Cloud, changing periods to reflect the 24/7 open market of cryptocurrency.
TENKAN: 11 - a week and a half
KIJUN: 30 - one month
SENKOU: 61 - two months
For a simpler visualization, I made the cloud limit lines and the Chikou line invisible by default.
Hosoda Cycles (24x7 mkt) {fmz}This script allows you to see on the chart which are the bars, including future ones, which correspond to the cycles of Goichi Hosoda, the inventor of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.
This script is only suitable for 24x7 markets, it is not suitable for markets with closing times and weekends, or gap markets where trading is not active. In fact, the calculation of calendar times is used, not suitable for markets with closing times.
Use the settings to indicate what the start time of bar 1. The indicator will produce many vertical bars, even in addition to the end time of the graph.
Rosebud Trend [DepthHouse]Rosebud Trend Indicator uses complex range calculations to easily detect trend changes, critical support and resistance levels, and even aid in spotting reversals. The Critical Support & Resistance Zones are plotted via the red and green cloud. This cloud not only visually displays the expected trend direction but often acts as major support and resistance zones. The outer band measures the expected range in which the assets trades within over longer periods of time.
Users can switch the ‘Trend Sensitivity’ between ‘Low’ and ‘High’ to increase or decrease the rate at which the cloud changes.
By altering the S/R Band Thickness users can furthermore increase or decrease the rate at which a trend changes by altering the thickness of the cloud. I prefer to keep these settings at 0.55 , 0.382, or 0.236.
The bar colors are generated by a combination of Rosebuds primary function and our ATR AUTO Oscillator base functions. Users have 3 bar color options to select from: Simple, Complex, and Off .
Simple: Bars colors alternate between shades of red and green based on the trend direction and the ATR Auto strength. Stronger the shade, the stronger the trend.
Complex: This adds a few extra variables to the script which generates a more complex bar color display. Using this option, Rosebud will generate light red bars in a bull trend if downward movement is strong and vice versa in a bear trend. It also will generate a purple bar if the candle successfully closes above or below the Top & Bottom Range Bands; We call this a range break , and it could be an early sign of strong upward or downward movement.
Off: In case you like to keep things even simpler, this option hides all overlay bar colors.
Sample of Complex Bar Colors:
Bull, Bear signals along with Up and Down arrows are too based on a combination of our trend direction and ATR Auto Oscillator calculations.
Users have the option to adjust both bar color, and shape generation settings via:
Smoothed Signal Option: Turns advance smoothing on or off. On will reduce signal noise, while Off could land you that perfect bottom signal with a lower success rate.
Candlestick Length: Default factor for bar color and shape generation, higher the number the fewer signals that will generate.
Candlestick Smoothing: Default smoothing for the Candlestick Length
Signal Lookback: Adjust the factor at which Bull, Bear, Up, and Down. Lower this to 2 for more signals.
Cross Thresholds: The lower this number the easier it is for ‘Bull’, ‘Bear’, and over extended signals to generate; see image below:
*Users also have the option to hide all signal visuals via the 'Shapes' On/Off option.
Users have multiple built in Alerts to choose from:
Bullish Trend Change: When the critical cloud switches to Bullish
Bearish Trend Change: When the critical cloud switches to Bearish
Upper Range Break: When the price action closes above the Range Top
Lower Range Break: When the price action closes below the Range Bottom
Light Bullish Cross: Early bullish signal; also displayed by up arrows by default
Light Bearish Cross: Early bear signal: also displayed by down arrows by default
Verified Bullish Cross: Occurs when a Bull signal is generated.
Verified Bearish Cross: Occurs when a Bear signal is generated.
*Past performance is no guarantee of future results*
Improved Ichimoku Cloud: smoother and easier backtesting1. Smoother
This indicator uses the moving average of the price to calculate the Ichimoku cloud. The result is a smoother indicator that filters out noise. Bear in mind, it's a bit slower as well. Change the MA Len setting to 1 in order to display the traditional Ichimoku cloud.
2. Easier backtesting
When you're using the indicator in live trades, you're used to seeing the lagging span displaced back in time (hence the name). The lagging span gives information about if it is or isn't in the price range of a certain amount of candles ago. But when you're back testing, it's hard to find the exact point on the lagging span that matches the price in the past. You have to calculate what time it was, accourding to 'lagging span periods' ago, relative to the candle you want to observe in your back test. Then you have to find that moment on the timeline by eye. Therefore I made the Visual Method adjustable.
If you set the Visual Method to 'back test', the lagging span moves forward in time instead of backward. This swaps the idea: instead of inspecting whether the lagging span was in the price range, you can inspect if the price was in the lagging span range (or forward span, if you like). Seems weird, but the result is the same.
3. Mind the crypto default settings!
I have developed the indicator for crypto currency so the default settings are 20, 60, 120, 30. When you're not trading crypto's, set it to 9, 26, 52, 26. You can always use your own favorite settings, regardless what you're trading.
Ichimoku Cloud w. Signals and AlertsIchimoku Cloud w. Signals and Alerts highlights when the Ichimoku signals a Bullish or Bearish move as well as the crosses of the Conversion Line and the Base Line both up and down.
The Bullish signals and Bearish signals fire when the following criteria is met:
Bullish Setup:
1. Price close over Lead Lines (26 periods ahead)
2. Green Cloud (26 Periods ahead)
4. Conversion Line above Base Line
Bearish Setup:
1. Price close under Lead Lines (26 periods ahead)
2. Red Cloud (26 Periods ahead)
4. Conversion Line below Base Line
The initial signal will fire when that criteria hits, once that criteria hits, background will fill either green or red behind the bars where the criteria still applies and will have no background color if above criteria doesn't apply.
Once the background fill disappears you should begin looking to set a stop or exit as the Ichimoku maybe reversing.
Be sure to still use Lagging Span and the price position to the cloud on where it actually is before entering/exiting positions even if a signal is fired.
I have also included the ability to add alerts to both the Conversion Line/Base Line crosses as well as the initial signals for the Bullish and Bearish Ichimoku signals. The alerts are configured to easily be added for a webhook to push to a Discord channel as well.
Works on all timeframes to signal general direction of move.
Overlay Indicators (EMAs, SMAs, Ichimoku & Bollinger Bands)This is a combination of popular overlay indicators that are used for dynamic support and resistance, trade targets and trend strength.
Included are:
-> 6 Exponential Moving Averages
-> 6 Simple Moving Averages
-> Ichimoku Cloud
-> Bollinger Bands
-> There is also a weekend background marker ideal for cryptocurrency trading
Using all these indicators in conjunction with each other provide great confluence and confidence in trades and price targets.
An explanation of each indicator is listed below.
What Is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA)?
"An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average (SMA), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
What Does the Exponential Moving Average Tell You?
The 12- and 26-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) are often the most quoted and analyzed short-term averages. The 12- and 26-day are used to create indicators like the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and the percentage price oscillator (PPO). In general, the 50- and 200-day EMAs are used as indicators for long-term trends. When a stock price crosses its 200-day moving average, it is a technical signal that a reversal has occurred.
Traders who employ technical analysis find moving averages very useful and insightful when applied correctly. However, they also realize that these signals can create havoc when used improperly or misinterpreted. All the moving averages commonly used in technical analysis are, by their very nature, lagging indicators."
Source: www.investopedia.com
Popular EMA lookback periods include fibonacci numbers and round numbers such as the 100 or 200. The default values of the EMAs in this indicator are the most widely used, specifically for cryptocurrency but they also work very well with traditional.
EMAs are normally used in conjunction with Simple Moving Averages.
" What Is Simple Moving Average (SMA)?
A simple moving average (SMA) calculates the average of a selected range of prices, usually closing prices, by the number of periods in that range.
Simple Moving Average vs. Exponential Moving Average
The major difference between an exponential moving average (EMA) and a simple moving average is the sensitivity each one shows to changes in the data used in its calculation. More specifically, the EMA gives a higher weighting to recent prices, while the SMA assigns an equal weighting to all values."
Source: www.investopedia.com
In this indicator, I've included 6 popular moving averages that are commonly used. Most traders will find specific settings for their own personal trading style.
Along with the EMA and SMA, another indicator that is good for finding confluence between these two is the Ichimoku Cloud.
" What is the Ichimoku Cloud?
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 the chart. It also uses these figures to compute a "cloud" which 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.1 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."
More info can be seen here: www.investopedia.com
I have changed the default settings on the Ichimoku to suit cryptocurrency trading (as cryptocurrency is usually fast and thus require slightly longer lookbacks) to 20 60 120 30.
Along with the Ichimoku, I like to use Bollinger Bands to not only find confluence for support and resistance but for price discovery targets and trend strength.
" What Is a Bollinger Band®?
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.
Bollinger Bands® were developed and copyrighted by famous technical trader John Bollinger, designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold or overbought."
This article goes into great detail of the complexities of using the Bollinger band and how to use it.
=======
This indicator combines all these powerful indicators into one so that it is easier to input different settings, turn specific tools on or off and can be easily customised.
Ichimoku EMA WaveThis script combines a customizable Ichimoku Cloud/ EMA combination to provide a quick trend visualisation.
For example, long entries can be found when the green EMA wave rises above the Ichimoku cloud.
Combine it with some oscillators (like MACD) for good results.
Also, experimenting with a different "wavelength" (default 50) and/or EMA length (default10) for different securities is a good idea.
Script is free to use and to modify at ones liking.
Lower Time Frame ScalperThis indicator is meant to identify lower timeframe momentum shifts in Forex pairs by using simple moving averages and the Kijun Sen indicator around key psychological levels.
Alert functionality for buy and sell conditions have also been built in to allow the trader time away from charts.
