Ichimoku Buy & Sell Signals

The Ichimoku Buy & Sell Signals indicator provides a comprehensive visual representation of the traditional Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system, featuring color-coded signals for crossovers between the Tenkan and Kijun lines.

Usage

The indicator can be used to identify trend direction and potential entry points based on the interaction between the Conversion Line (Tenkan) and the Base Line (Kijun).

• Bullish Signal: A green circle appears when the Tenkan line crosses above the Kijun line, indicating potential upward momentum.
• Bearish Signal: A red circle appears when the Tenkan line crosses below the Kijun line, indicating potential downward momentum.
• Cloud (Kumo) Interpretation: The area between Lead 1 and Lead 2 forms the cloud. When price is above the cloud, the trend is generally considered bullish; when below, it is considered bearish.

Details

This implementation calculates the standard Ichimoku components using Donchian channels (the average of the highest high and lowest low over a specific period).

• Tenkan (Conversion Line): A fast-moving average of the price midpoints over the shortest period.
• Kijun (Base Line): A slower-moving average of the price midpoints.
• Senkou Span A (Lead 1): The midpoint between the Tenkan and Kijun lines, plotted forward in time.
• Senkou Span B (Lead 2): The midpoint of price over a longer duration, also plotted forward.

The indicator uses a default "displacement" to shift the leading spans forward, creating the "cloud" which acts as dynamic support and resistance.

Settings

• Conversion Line Length: Sets the lookback period for the Tenkan line (default is 20).
• Base Line Length: Sets the lookback period for the Kijun line (default is 60).
• Lagging Span 2 Length: Sets the lookback period for the Senkou Span B (default is 120).
• Displacement: Determines how many bars forward the lead lines are projected (default is 30).
