# SuperIchi

SuperIchi is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

An Ichimoku rebuilt on Supertrend logic: Tenkan, Kijun, and Senkou Span B come from ATR-based trend detection instead of fixed-window midpoints, resetting their averages whenever a fresh trend begins. The one-glance Ichimoku read survives intact, with fewer whipsaws, for trend traders who want a calmer cloud.

**SuperIchi** rebuilds the [Ichimoku system](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/ichimoku-system/) on a Supertrend engine. Where the traditional components average fixed-window highs and lows, here Tenkan, Kijun, and Senkou Span B each come from a [Supertrend](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/supertrend/) blended with trailing maximums and minimums, the average resetting whenever the Supertrend flips into a fresh trend. The familiar one-glance layout is preserved; every line now follows ATR-driven trend detection instead of a rolling window.

## How to Trade the SuperIchi?

- **Read it like classic Ichimoku**: the components keep their traditional roles, so existing Ichimoku playbooks transfer directly.
- **Tune the factor to your horizon**: higher Supertrend factors track long-duration trends, lower factors respond to short-term swings.
- **Expect fewer whipsaws**: the Supertrend's smoothing steadies each component, cutting the false flips fixed windows tend to produce in chop.
- **Chikou is off by default**: enable it in the style options if the lagging line is part of your method.

## SuperIchi Settings

- **Tenkan**: ATR length and factor for the Supertrend behind the Tenkan component.
- **Kijun**: ATR length and factor for the Kijun component.
- **Senkou Span B**: ATR length and factor for the second Senkou span.
- **Displacement**: bar offset applied forward to the cloud and backward to the Chikou.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does SuperIchi differ from traditional Ichimoku?

The classic system builds its lines from rolling maximum highs and minimum lows over fixed windows. SuperIchi derives each component from Supertrend state plus trailing extremes, resetting on trend changes, so the lines adapt to detected trends rather than to an arbitrary lookback.

### Should I use SuperIchi or a plain Supertrend?

They answer different needs. The [standalone Supertrend](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/supertrend/) gives you one trailing stop line; SuperIchi spreads the same ATR trend logic across a full Ichimoku layout with a cloud, displaced spans, and multiple confirmation lines.

### How can I start using SuperIchi?

At no cost. SuperIchi is part of the free LuxAlgo Library. Add it from this page and every component, including the optional Chikou, is available immediately. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs.
