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.

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.
Kyushu AshiKyushu Ashi is one of the Ichimoku strategies which was originally introduced in Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Weekly book by Goichi Hosoda.
<< History >>
Back when Goichi Hosoda was sharing his market analysis in Miyako Newspaper, traders were hand-writing the open, close, high, and low price levels as well as 5 price values of Ichimoku (Tenkan sen, Kijun sen, Chiko span, Senko span A, Senko span B) every day. And because there was no PC back then, it was a bit too much of work. So traders asked Goichi Hosoda if they can simplify their analysis, and introduced Kyushu Ashi technique.
<< About Kyushu Ashi >>
Kyu means 9, Shu means week, Ashi means candles in Japanese. Kyushu Ashi is to capture market reverse and trend continuation on Weekly timeframe by using Kihon Suchi time cycles.
According to the original book, you cannot trade by Kyushu Ashi only. You need to use it together with Ichimoku 5 lines.

SuperIchi [LuxAlgo]Using one indicator as the core for another one to improve certain aspects while offering an alternative user interaction can be very interesting in technical analysis.
This indicator is a modification of the popular Ichimoku indicator using the equally popular Supertrend indicator as its core, thus no longer entirely relying on calculations done over a fixed window size but instead relying on the average true range and the trend detection method offered by the Supertrend.
Settings
Tenkan: Atr length (left) and factor (right) used for the Supertrend involved in the calculations of the Tenkan Ichimoku component
Kijun: Atr length (left) and factor (right) used for the Supertrend involved in the calculations of the Kijun Ichimoku component
Senkou Span B: Atr length (left) and factor (right) used for the Supertrend involved in the calculations of the second Senkou Span Ichimoku component
Displacement: Bar offset of the cloud (positive offset) and Chikou (negative offset)
Usage
The SuperIchi indicator can be interpreted similarly to a regular Ichimoku as it retains the components and aspects from this one. Users can make use of the Supertrend Factor to detect shorter or longer-term trends.
Unlike the regular components of the Ichimoku based on rolling maximums/minimums, using the Supertrend here allows smoother components and makes it less prone to whipsaw signals.
Note that the Chikou is disabled by default in the style settings
Details
The original Ichimoku indicator is constructed from the average between the rolling maximum high and minimum low values. The Supertrend indicator also relies on one upper/lower extremity but using the average of these extremities for the modification of the Ichimoku indicator might not provide easy to use results due to the nature of these extremities.
Instead, we compute the average between the Supertrend and trailing maximums/minimums with a value reset when a new trend is detected by the Supertrend. This allows obtaining a result that is closer to the original average used by Ichimoku.
Chikou Filter for Ichimoku CloudThis Indicator enhances functionality of Chikou-Span from Ichimoku Cloud using a simple trend filter.
Methodology
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.
Bullish : Trend is bullish if Chikou span is above high values of all candles within defined lookback period. Green color shows bullish trend.
Bearish: Trend is bearish if Chikou span is below low values of all candles within defined lookback period. This is indicated by red color.
Reversal / Choppiness : White color indicates that Chikou are swinging around candles within defined lookback period which is an indication of consolidation or trend reversal.
Default Settings
Different source types are included but I've found that (OHLC4+High+Low)/3 is better for Chikou and Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) is also applied but it produce some repainting though. Default period is set to 26 and lookback percentage is 50%. Low percentage would decrease filter's efficiency.
Usage
This filter can be used to check if Chikou crossover has occurred in past. This can be used with Donchain channels, Bollinger Bands or any Moving Average as replacement of High / Low values. I'll use this indicator in all my Ichimoku Cloud studies especially adaptive ones. Filter outputs in Color and Integer format; both can be used as signals definitions.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo1) Plot up to 8 moving averages or donchian channels.
2) Moving average types include SMA, EMA, Double EMA, Triple EMA, Quadruple EMA, Pentuple EMA, Zero-Lag EMA, Tillson's T3, Hull's MA, Smoothed MA, Weighted MA, Volume-Weighted MA.
3) Donchian channels can be plotted for a user specified period with upper and lower lines based on either A) highest and lowest prices or B) highest candle body (open/close) and lowest candle body (open/close) over a specified period.
4) Plot 2 arithmetic means averaging any 2 to 8 of the previously mentioned moving averages or donchian median lines.
5) Display 2 fills/clouds between any of the previously mentioned plots.
6) Enough flexibility in the script to utilize Ichimoku Kinko Hyo with correctly adjusted offsets.
7) Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is the default settings. Display additional moving averages or donchian channels for comparison.

Ichimoku Cloud OscillatorThis script shows Ichimoku values in a different manner. While studying Ichimoku one thing stuck out to me and that is that the Kijun-Sen line is considered to be the equilibrium of the market, it acts like a magnet and price always returns to it. Taking this into account I made a script that plots the distance from equilibrium as an oscillator.
With that value being an oscillator it allows for some analysis that would have been harder to do looking at the normal ichimoku chart. For example smoothing the value and comparing the distance to the average distance to see if the market reached an extremity (too far from equilibrium). I added a bollinger band for those who are interested in analysing the value in that way but in my experience I do not use it except for noticing if market spiked outside of the band (green and red dots).
It is advised to use this oscillator as a trend analysis tool the same way you would use a money flow. Below a breakdown of current features
- Disequilibrium1: The white sharp wave is the raw distance from Kijun with settings to smooth it out using a WMA
- Disequilibrium2: The blue smooth wave is the smooth distance from Kijun with settings to smooth it further out using a WMA
- Yellow line: The distance of Tenkan-Sen from Kijun-Sen which in alot of ichimoku strategys act as a trend filter or a crossover as market change.
- Green and red zone: The slope of the kumo cloud, color coded to see if kumo is red or green. Use it in the same way you would use money flow on market cypher, it is a longer term trend strength indicator and like all smoothed values it lags behind. You can use this to decide which direction to trade in but not as a signal on it's own.
- Bollinger Band: Acts the same way a bollinger band does, use this to analyse the wave structure, especialy the middle line the same way you would use Disequilibrium2, if the waves are a good distance from this line market can be overbought oversold or it is just a good indication that the trend is strong. Outer bands should be your warning bands as the waves tend to jump back to the middle line when touching those.
Would love some feedback on this as I do not think this can be used for divergences but would like to hear some possible patterns/strategys.
My current strategy is noticing an increasing wave after a squeeze (waves keep getting smaller untill a large trend happens, wave no longer goes to middle and keeps expanding). When I notice this I wait for the white wave to enter the blue and touch the mid bollinger line (small pullback during strong trend) and open a trade in the direction of the trend. I use the green and red zone to decide if the long term direction tells the same to get confluence.

Ichimoku Box by TradictorzThis is just a "helping tool" for those who knows ichimoku as well and is the first interactive box tool because of Pine v5 ability based on input time which confirmed by users.
HOW-TO:
This tool works and draw boxes automatically based on HH (HigherHigh) and LL (LowerLow) candles on previous 26 candle bars, You have to put your start time on ichimoku CROSS (BasedLine & ConversionLine) which will give you two boxes based on 26 bar periods target. if the price passes through the HH 26 periods bar candles then you have to use the upper box as a target, if the price passes through the LL 26 periods bar candles then you have to use the lower box as a target.in the setting menu you can choose how many boxes will show you for upper or lower targets and also the ability of selecting to show ichimoku lines , clouds and crossess added in the menu setting.
Feel free to use it and enjoy it.
Ichimoku w/Heikin-Ashi Ichimoku w/Heikin-Ashi displays the Heikin-Ashi and leading lagging span of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.
If you change to Heikin-Ashi as it is, the basis of the calculation of Ichimoku will also use the Heikin-Ashi, so after displaying the Heikin-Ashi independently, then the calculation uses the original candlestick.
Initially, two candlesticks are displayed so that you can switch between candlesticks and Heikin-Ashi. If you uncheck the standard candlesticks check box to hide them, only Heikin-Ashi will be displayed.
In addition, the lagging span is displayed as the leading lagging span in order to align the viewpoint to one current place.

9Week_CandleThe 9-week candle is a candlestick writing method introduced in "Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, Weekly”, which creates positive and negative candles at the closing price of the current week and the opening price of 9 weeks ago to know the current state of the market. By combining the period of the basic numerical value of 9 as one candlestick, it becomes easier to grasp the direction and time relationship.
By default, the upper and lower shadows are displayed, but if you set the shadow color to the same as the background color in the settings, you can display the positive and negative of only the body.
I also created a 3-day candle based on the same method, so please use it as well.

Six Factors Ichimoku 1.0This strategy has the purpose to help dummies to get experienced when trade with Crypocurrencies, using the Ichimoku indicator
The following script shows an strategy based on Ichimoku indicator. Taking into account the theoretical concepts of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, are defined six (6) factors to open position and two (2) factors to close it. According to the author of the book, in which is based the script, it is stablished that the proper combination of the six factors when the timeframe is set in 1D and the assest Cryptocurrencies (not applicable to stable Coins), has demonstrated in the Backtesting good results.
Althoug is not the purpose, the Ichimoku indicator is composed by six components (Tenkan Line, Kijun Line, Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B and Kumo Cloud) and the relative position of the current price of the assest compared with ichimoku components define these factor.
Factors to open position
Factor one. The current price is over the Ichimoku Cloud
Factor two. When Senkou Span A is greater thant Senkou Span B, proyected 22 periods forward.
Factor three. Senkou Span A, has a positive slope, during the previous periods.
Factor four.The Tenkan Line (quick line) is above the Kijun Line (slow line) during the previous periods.
Factor five. The Chikou Span Line is above the Kumo
Factor six. The slope of the sma (200) is positive.
The long entry is recomended when the following expresion is matched
F1 and F2 and F4 and F5 and (F3 or F6)
Factors to close position
Factor one. Tenkan line has a downward trajectory for previous periods. If the price change during this periods the counter reset and start again trying to prevent exit from quick variations.
Factor two. Current price is below Kijun line
The time to close position is recommended when the following expresión occurs
F1 and F2
Some of the features of the script are the following:
Initial amount of investment stablished on 100€, but can be modified by the user.
User can easily modified the period for backtesting purposes.
"Show factors" give the user and easy interface to know the current status of the strategy`s factors. The factors appears color red (false) and color green (true)
It is possible to cancel Factor F5, which is interesting after the assests has dumped strongly. The color black means that F5 is canceled.
Change the output criteria by F1 or F2 (not recommended) but available for learning purposes.
Auxiliary lines that help to idenfify strong resistances that could compromise the strategy
Enjoy it !!!

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo [DM]Ichimoku Kinko Hyo PineV5
Definition
The Ichimoku Cloud is a package of multiple technical indicators that signal support, resistance, market trend, and market momentum. It is one of the few indicators out there that attempts to convey a number of meaningful insights into one. For that reason it can be hard to understand at first glance, but is commonly used among professional traders and market participants.
History
In the late 1960s, Goichi Hosada introduced the Ichimoku Cloud. It took several years for its adoption and understanding to take off, but today it is commonly known and used as an indicator in the field of technical analysis.
Calculations
The Ichimoku Cloud can be calculated in several different ways. It depends on your timeframe, needs, and expertise in technical analysis.
Takeaways
The Cloud is an integral part of the technical indicator as a whole and helps traders and investors identify the specific calculations made to the chart. Price below the cloud indicates a downward trend, whereas price above the cloud indicates an uptrend. These trend signals can strengthen if both the cloud and the price are moving in the same direction. Similarly, the signals can weaken if the cloud is moving in the opposite direction.
What to look for
By using various averages, the Ichimoku Cloud indicator gives traders and investors key and extensive data information. Trends are high when price is above the cloud, weak when price is below the cloud, or transitioning when price is seen inside the cloud.
As was mentioned in the Calculation section above, when Leading Span A falls below Leading Span B, we can confirm a downtrend. The cloud, in this case, displays a red hue. When Leading Span A is above Leading Span B, we can confirm an uptrend. The cloud, in this case, displays a green hue.
The Ichimoku cloud can be used with other technical indicators in order to better assess risk. By looking at larger trends, with the help of multiple indicators, traders are able to see how smaller trends can fit within the general market picture as a whole.
Limitations
With all of the lines and cloud shading and data points, the chart can look a little crowded and stuffy. In order to work through this, there’s software that can hide these lines so the chart looks cleaner for traders and all the information you’d like to see is at the forefront of the chart. At TradingView, we have special features available for all our users. Anyone using our platform can pick which lines and backgrounds they’d like shown and can also customize the color, line thickness, and opacity with a simple click.

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!
