An Ichimoku-Style Indicator Built from Moving Averages

Summary

This indicator recreates an Ichimoku-like display using moving averages. It assigns three average periods, described as Fibonacci-based, to replace the original components: a fast average, a slower average, and a third average used for the cloud. The indicator colors the fast and slow lines according to whether each is rising or falling. It forms one cloud boundary from the mean of the fast and slow averages and uses the third average as the other boundary, then shades the area between them according to their relative position.

The description says users can adjust the average settings and colors. It provides the construction and visual behavior, but does not explain signal rules, test performance, or how to manage risk when trading from the indicator. As a result, it is best understood as a configurable charting tool inspired by Ichimoku rather than a documented, validated trading strategy. The text gives no market, timeframe, or evidence that its modified averages preserve the behavior of the original indicator.

Key ideas

• The indicator replaces Ichimoku components with three configurable moving averages.
• Its cloud boundaries use the midpoint of the fast and slow averages and a third, slower average.
• Line and cloud colors indicate the direction or relative position of the averages.
• The settings and colors can be customized, but the document provides no trading rules or performance tests.
