[blackcat] L1 Ichimoku Cloud

16 Ogo 2021

Level: 1

Background

In Muranaka's article, "Ichimoku Cloud" was described. It contains Ichimoku - Lines and Ichimoku - Cloud.


Function

In the article, Muranaka states that the "market has improved when the delayed line is above the closing prices at that past date." Thus, for this indicator, when the delayed line is above the closing prices at the past date, the turning line will be Green. When the delayed line is below the closing prices at the past date, the turning line will be Red. I eliminate the need to display the delayed line (Silver color). Of course, you can choose to display the delayed line by setting the ShowDelayLine input to true.


Key Signal

Standard Line --> Blue line;
Turning Line --> Green and Red;
Delayed --> Not shown, Silver.
Span1 and Span 2 --> Ichimoku Cloud, Yellow for up trend and Fuchsia for down trend.


Remarks

This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.

Feedbacks are appreciated.
