Ichimoku Tenkan–Kijun Cross with Cloud and Chikou Filters
Summary
The document outlines a directional Ichimoku signal that combines a Tenkan–Kijun crossover with price, both Ichimoku lines, and the Chikou Span positioned relative to the cloud. A bullish signal requires the Tenkan to cross above the Kijun while the close and both lines are above the cloud, and the Chikou is also above the cloud at its comparison point. The bearish rules reverse those relationships. The output is a positive, negative, or neutral signal.
The text provides indicator formulas and explicit entry conditions, but no exit rules, position sizing, transaction costs, market selection, or backtest results. It therefore documents a signal construction rather than a complete tested strategy. Implementers should also verify the platform’s indexing and displacement conventions, since Ichimoku values are plotted with forward or backward shifts and implementation details can affect comparisons.
Key ideas
- A bullish signal requires a Tenkan cross above Kijun and confirmation from price, both lines, and Chikou relative to the cloud.
- A bearish signal applies the inverse crossover and cloud-position conditions.
- The signal returns a positive value for bullish conditions, a negative value for bearish conditions, and otherwise remains neutral.
- The document provides no exit logic, risk controls, or performance testing.
