Ichimoku Tenkan–Kijun Crosses Classified by Cloud Position
Summary
This Ichimoku strategy generates bullish or bearish signals when the Tenkan line crosses the Kijun line. It further classifies crosses by the Tenkan line’s position relative to the cloud, labeling setups strong, neutral, or weak. Users can choose which signal classes trigger entries and exits, select long or short mode, and optionally set percentage stop-loss and take-profit levels. The listed defaults include the conventional Ichimoku periods and displacement.
The document supplies settings and published BTC/USDT futures backtest dates, but no performance results. The source excerpt is incomplete, so the full signal calculations and implementation cannot be assessed. The accompanying discussion cautions that cloud signals can lag and produce false entries, and that extensive parameter choices may encourage unproductive tuning. It recommends testing combinations carefully, adding risk controls, and treating backtest behavior as distinct from live trading outcomes.
Key ideas
- A Tenkan–Kijun cross defines the basic bullish or bearish signal.
- Cloud position at the cross is used to grade signals as strong, neutral, or weak.
- Entry and exit classes can be selected separately for long or short trading modes.
- Percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit settings are optional.
- Backtest settings are provided, but no performance results are reported and the source excerpt is incomplete.
