Ichimoku Crossings and Cloud Conditions as Chart Signals
Summary
Kosaten Hyo is a chart indicator that maps Ichimoku events to chess-piece symbols. It marks Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen crossings as possible trend-start signals, and uses their close alignment to identify named Katana and Daisho patterns. It also marks price crossings of displaced Ichimoku lines and conditions where the lagging price is clear of several reference levels. Cloud spans crossing or becoming equal trigger a twist marker and a box around recent highs and lows.
The indicator additionally draws daily Fibonacci retracement levels and labels selected signal events on the chart. These features are visual aids and event definitions; the document does not provide entry, exit, position-sizing, or risk rules for a complete strategy. It includes no backtest or performance evidence, so the suggested interpretation of signals as anticipating trends is not validated here. The pasted program is lengthy, and the source excerpt is truncated, limiting review of all implementation details.
