SuperIchi: An ATR Regime-Based Ichimoku Indicator

Summary

SuperIchi keeps the familiar Ichimoku lines and cloud but replaces fixed lookback high-low midpoints with an ATR trailing-stop regime engine. For each line, it tracks the price extreme reached during the current regime and the active trailing stop, then plots their midpoint. The described Tenkan, Kijun, and Span B instances use different ATR lengths and multipliers; Span A remains the average of Tenkan and Kijun. The cloud is displaced forward, with projected sections drawn separately.

The notes explain how sticky ATR bands define bullish and bearish regimes, why the resulting lines stay flat and move in steps, and how Tenkan/Kijun crosses and cloud position can be read. Larger multipliers widen the bands and make regime changes less frequent; similar multipliers can cause lines to converge. The document provides indicator logic and interpretation, but no backtest or evidence that its signals are profitable. Its readings therefore describe a charting method rather than a validated trading strategy.

Key ideas

• Each line is the midpoint between a regime extreme and its active ATR trailing stop.
• The regime engine ratchets its upper and lower bands and changes state when price breaks a band.
• Different ATR multipliers are presented as the main source of separation between the three lines.
• The forward-shifted cloud and Tenkan/Kijun crosses provide context, but the document reports no performance tests.
