Trend Follow with kijun-sen/tenkan sen for 1 Hour SPX
This script determines, plots and alerts on probable trend initiation and continuation points, using tenkan-sen(conversion line of ichimoku), kijun-sen(baseline of ichimoku) and stochastic RSI, for 1 H SPX.
New long/short trend initiates when prices cross above/below kijun sen. The trend continues when prices cross above/below tenkan-sen or stochastic RSI crosses up/down its signal line, while prices are above/below kijun-sen.
It is good to take partial profit between 10-15 points gain and trail the left with stops below kijun-sen line.
While placing the order, using 2-3 points buffer above/below of signal bars is recommended. Additionally, please be careful about clouds and do not place long/short orders below/above clouds.

BigBendFX Ichimoku Cloud | Cloud BreakoutCloud breakout is an enhancement of TradingView's built-in Ichimoku Cloud Indicator. By default, only the cloud is visible. The other Ichimoku lines can be toggled on if needed. This indicator focuses on the breakout of the Kumo cloud. An additional simple moving average filter can be added as well.
Breakout Condition
2 candlesticks are part of the breakout condition
Candlestick 1: 'open' price is still within the cloud and 'close' price breaks out of the cloud
Candlestick 2: 'open' price confirms that candlestick 1 'close' remains as a breakout
There are 4 possible breakout conditions: 2 bullish direction moves crossing each senkou span and 2 bearish direction moves crossing each senkou span
Note: ranging markets will cause false breakouts, so a moving average is integrated to help filter this out
Moving Average Integration
A simple moving average can easily be toggled on/off to filter out cloud breakout signals
The SMA length and color can be adjusted in the settings
Alerts
There are 2 alert options: bullish or bearish
Alerts will confirm if the Moving Average Integration is activated

{INDYAN} Ichimoku for IntradayIts based on ichimoku, i removed cloud and mod some changes for better use in intraday trading. It can be used in stocks and index as well.Not tested on MCX and Forex.
Just watch at crossover of tenkan and kijun that RSI macd is above 60 and zero or not? If all three parameters meet go for long... exit when again another cross happen or rsi go below 40.for sell side watch for rsi below 40 and macd below zero line while crossover of kijun tenkan.
Better to use it with RSI+Macd Fast to get more accurate results.
#for better confirmation look value of VWAP and decide accordingly
Do back test before using it.
Happy Trading
Love INDyAN
#change line color as per ur wish but value should be same as it was default entered.
RSI Divergence X Ichimoku Cloud X 200EMAHi all,
This script is a combination of the RSI Divergence Strategy combined with Ichimoku Cloud and 200 EMA .
A long position is entered only when the RSI identifies a bullish divergence (either regular or hidden), and that the Ichimoku Cloud is above the 200 EMA . This is to ensure that there is a confirmation of a bullish trend before an entry.
Similarly, a short position is entered only when the RSI identified a bearish divergence (either regular or hidden), and that the Ichimoku Cloud is below the 200 EMA . This is to ensure that there is a confirmation of a bearish trend before an entry.
I find that this script works best on Intraday charts.
This is just a simple script I built on my third attempt of backtesting strategies on TradingView. Do give it a go and let me know if you guys have any feedback or comments about it. Happy trading!
{INDYAN} GO WITH TREND V2This indicator has almost everything for intraday trading . There are two supertrends one with higher time frame and one at lower time frame, Due to which we can recognize reversal. If higher time frame supertrend is showing uptrend and minor is showing downtrend then better to avoid taking any trade in between. Both trend should be in same direction.
Tenkan and kijun is there to verify the trend authencity, check where the tenkan and kijun crossover is there or not at the time of reversal signal given by supertrends. It will boost trading chances.
Also VWAP is placed to know the current situation, If price is below VWAP go for sort if all other things match as above said.
HEMA LEMA is a EMA band and i found that it act as support and resistance, If price breaks channel with volume and sustain above/below for 2 candle close (TIMEFRAME AS SYMBOL).
Also placed FAST EMA to recognize the fast moving trend.
Pivot with CPR is there to trade on basis of CPR and Pivot.
For demand and supply traders, they can use blue and black candle for marking up zones. Blue is boring/base candle and Black is explosive candle.
I hope it will help my trader friends to recognize the trend and reversal.
Let me know if anything more we need to include or remove to make it better for everyone.
Happy Trading... Love INDYAN

The MATRIX: Ultimate Crypto Position FinderThe Position Finder is a visual representation and additional feature of the "MATRIX Ultimate Crypto Position Strategy" and it should therefore be used alongside this script.
***You can find the main trading strategy script on our profile page***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The Position Finder is a tool that allows the user to see multiple triggers at the same time on a single chart of the "MATRIX Ultimate Crypto Position Strategy".
The Position Finder consists of 3 parts, namely an entry, a re-entry and an exit part (from top to bottom). Each of these three fields is made up of several green, black or red horizontal lines in which each line corresponds to a specific trigger.
-An entry or re-entry signal is valid once all individual triggers turn dark GREEN at the same time (for the top and middle matrix fields respectively). When this happens a bright GREEN vertical line is formed. The main trading strategy script will also print "Long Entry" label. While BLACK color indicates that a certain trigger is not valid. Yes, we know. It sounds very complicated, but once you understood it, we promise it will be the most simple and dare we say, an interesting tool to use.
-An exit signal is made once a single trigger turns RED. The main trading strategy script will also print a RED colored "Long Exit" label. While BLACK color indicates that the exit signal is not triggered.

The MATRIX: Ultimate Crypto Position StrategyHi all,
We are cryptocurrency miners and 'hodlers’ since 2013, with unwavering confidence in the technology behind it. We’d always thought that it would be a life-changing êvent. And we were right. We went from “broke” to making shit loads of money and all the way back to bitter nothing. If you are lucky, you probably haven’t experienced what if feels to be high on cash and then fall very deep low, but let me reassure you, it is a nasty feeling.
Then we wondered, what the hell did we do wrong? Or better say, what didn’t we do right! The answer was dead simple: We had no experience in trading, we were overwhelmed by emotions and we didn't use any trading strategy. Hence, we were doomed to fail from the beginning.
In order to build an all-in-one profitable trading strategy, we had to start from zero. The one thing we learned is that your goal for financial gain cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency. Our prime focus was to absorb as much info as possible regarding trading and coding by doing an extensive self-study, which consequentially took us to the next level.
One of the secrets to being successful from a trading perspective is to have an indefatigable and undying thirst for information and knowledge. As Bruce Lee once said: “Learning is never cumulative; it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning nor end”. So, we adapted what was useful, rejected what was useless, and added our own preferences based on our mindset. We were totally committed to be the best. Our goal was never to lose money again! Of course, this is an illusion, as no single strategy is correct all of the time.
Therefore, the final trading strategy was based on the following key elements:
• The avoidance of risk is more important than absolute profit. Do not anticipate and do not move without market confirmation. Being a little late in your trade is your indication if you are right or wrong.
• Offering simplicity and practicality, for those that do not have the time to trade 24/7.
• Believe in analysis and not in forecasting. Trading is a skill for those who are smart and gambling for those who are not.
In conclusion, we are absolutely thrilled to finally release this trading strategy after one year of extensive back testing and optimization. The script was supposed to be for personal use only, but because Tradingview has helped us a lot in this process, we want to share it with all of you and give something back to this amazing community. If you learned something new today and found value, please give us a like to show your support! We’d really appreciate it.

The MATRIX: Ultimate Crypto Position Strategy should be used as follows:
• The trading strategy was designed and optimized for trading cryptocurrencies only ; furthermore it works best on established high market cap cryptocurrencies that have a clear trend such as:
BTCUSD
ETHUSD
LTCUSD
XRMUSD
EOSUSD
ADAUSD
DASHUSD
ETCUSD
• The trading strategy is based on swing/position methodology. The script must therefore be used on daily timeframe candles only (1D) .
• Use USD trading pairs only (e.g. use ETHUSD instead of the ETHBTC) since the individual trend is captured more effectively and therefore gives better results.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MATRIX:Ultimate Crypto Position Strategy is based on the following indicators:
• Ichimoku Cloud ; acts as the leading indicator.
• Volume ; without strong volume , a market move is not valid.
• MACD and Vortex ; both being used as confirmation indicators.
• Choppiness index ; avoids trading in choppy markets.
• Bullish/ Bearish Regular Divergences in combination with RSI to spot tops and bottoms.
• Simple and Exponential Moving Averages ; prêvents trading against the trend.
The trading strategy is easy to use, trend based and without repainting, meaning once a signal has been made it is permanent and that no future data is used in the decision making. It detects the trend and filters out market noise based on more than 10 technical indicators. ONLY when all indicators align with each other the algorithm prints a BUY or SELL signal. The trading strategy provides high probability trading signals and minimizes risk! This script aims to capture the profit from longer term trending moves and by doing so filters out non-substantial trends and avoids the associated risks with these trades.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MATRIX: Ultimate Crypto Position Strategy has the following features:
• Automatically generated Buy / Sell alerts in the form of a label.
• NO Repaint once candle is closed.
• SAFEGUARD ; custom built-in security prevẹnts trading when the price is out of equilibrium.
• Customizable Display for the Ichimoku cloud indicator display.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are the backtest results. Keep in mind that this strategy is quite conservative resulting in few long positions. These results are therefore no guarantee for the future.

Ichimoku with ADXMy first attempt at coding a strategy in pine script.
The strategy tests for a confluence of bull / bear signals and executes a trade when these are met.
It uses the ADX as a screen against fake breakouts.
Ichimoku Cloud & ADX & MACD with TSL [tg1]Hi There! Used the time at home during the corona to learn Pinescript and work on this strategy. Its finetuned for BTCUSDT on mid-high timeframe, can be used for other TF/markets, but be extra careful).
The strategy is mainly build around Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and its Tenkan and Kijun crosses. It aims to only buy/sell when there is a strong trend in any direction (using MAs, ADX and ATR) and enters a trade based on these conditions:
1) Tenkan > Kijun
2) Close > Kumo
3) MACD > Signal
4) ADX > Custom value
The same applies for shorts, just the other way around.
I added a TSL based on either % or ATR fixed % for improved risk management. Let me know if any questions.
Ichimoku Cloud & ADX & DMI & MACD [tg1]Hi There! Sharing my strategy that is mainly build on Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and its Tenkan and Kijun crosses.
In addition, I added a few other indicators to have less false breakout signals. See more details below:
Long conditions :
1) Tenkan crosses over Kijun
2) Tenkan & Kijun > Kumo
3) Close > Kumo
4) Chikou > Kumo (-n periods)
5) ADX > Custom value
6) DI+ > DI-
7) MACD > Signal
8) SMA > 200
Short conditions are simply the other way around. This indicator has been mainly tested and tuned for BTCUSDT.
Ichimoku Score by KingThiesiScore, is an Ichimoku-based scoring system, in which individual Ichimoku events are measured by their impact, and then counted towards a greater score, leaning either bullish or bearish. The score tends to be between -3 and 3 for 99% of occurrences. Scores above or below this range are abnormal to say the least.
How the Score is Calculated
Bearish events are negative points. When the score is below zero, bears have control of the given TF. In theory, when the iScore is falling, the market is in downtrend. Note the divergences on reversals. iScore tends to lead price.
Bullish events are positive points. When the score is above zero, bulls have control of the given TF. In theory, when the iScore is rising, the market is in uptrend. Note the divergences on reversals. iScore tends to lead price.
Bullish Events Measured: TK Bull Cross, PK Bull Cross, Lagline Bull Cross, and Leadline Bull Cross
Bearish Events Measured: TK Bear Cross, PK Bear Cross, Lagline Bear Cross & LeadLine Bear Cross
The location of the events are also a factor in the scoring system. Locations include above the kumo, inside the kumo, and below the kumo, and are then prioritized in their own respects, based on the standard rules interpretation of Ichimoku signals, which users can read more into if interested. Links are provided below with further reading.
iScore can be applied to any ticker by any trader, and is not limited to any specific TF. Its programmed in Pine version 4 and uses Heikin Ashi inputs for OHLC, although traders are able to use with any chart type.

Fidelity Ichimoku Summary
Investopedia Intro to Ichimoku Clouds
Cheers!
KT
Ichimoku with Correct DisplacementThe default Ichimoku Cloud by TradingView is strange. The kumo is only displaced 25 periods forward, and the chikou is displaced 25 periods back. This is because TradingView had the correct value for displacement (26), but they decided to subtract this displacement by 1 when actually drawing the kumo and add 1 when drawing the chikou. This script fixes this and allows for easier customization of each line in the Ichimoku.
Multiple MA + Bollinger bands + Ichimoku cloudThis is an extension of my previous script 'Multiple MA', now featuring also an Ichimoku Cloud and Bollinger bands.
More, I added more functionality to the integrated Bollinger bands script, that by default use only Standard Moving Average to plot the bands. With this script you can plot Bollinger bands using the MA you prefer from the ones included in the 'Multiple MA' script (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA and Hull MA), allowing you to better fit your preferences.
About Ichimoku cloud I choose to enable by default only the cloud and the lagged price, which I consider the most useful components of this indicator, however you can enable each component from the settings.
I tried to make 3 indicators fit well with each other using some graphical customization (It works quite well with dark background). However keep in mind that i made this script as much customizable as possible, letting you enable and disable each one of the components from the plot. So you can take advantage of the whole indicators, and in case, clean the plot when you feel it's too much full of drawings and lines.
Please show me your support if you like the script, and find it useful, thanks!
Tenkan-Sen Kijun-Sen Distance (TKD) Oscillator - IchimokuThe TKD is the distance between the Tenkan-Sen and the Kijun-Sen, expressed in percentage of current price. The further apart the tenken-sen and kijun-sen are, the more they want to snap back together. This makes for a decent oscillator. When the Tenkan-Sen is above the Kijun-Sen, the TKD is green. When it is below, the TKD is red. At the crossing points, it turns blue.
For those more familiar with Ichimoku Cloud techniques, one might also think of this indicator as a C-Clamp indicator. Bar coloring is supported and enabled by default. There's also an option to flip/invert the green/red colors in case you want to use it to judge pending cycles rather than current ones.
Hakimi - Ichi Based Pivot Time Prediction - V.2This indicator is based on multitime ichimoku and can be used to predict some of pivots .
How to use:
1- Select the arbitrary chart (Candles, Heikin Ashi, Line and Renko) and time frame.
2. Set the “Offset” value. Default value is -1.
3. Set the “Time Coefficient 1” to “Time Coefficient 4”. Default values are 2, 3, 4 and 5.
ORTI Ichimoku Cloud (Static Timeframe Multi-Period Ichimoku)The "ORTI Ichimoku Cloud (Static Timeframe Multi-Period Ichimoku )" is now a public script, based in a existing study named "Ichimoku Kynko Hyo", but with some better functions about time frame and its measurament. As a redesigned and recalculated set of the common plotted averages: Conversion Line Periods and Base Line Periods, of the security's price, as well as the Lagging Span and the Displacement.
Ichimoku Cloud is a chart used in technical analysis that shows support and resistance , and momentum and trend directions for a security or investment. It is designed to provide relevant information at a glance using moving averages (tenkan-sen and kijun-sen) to show bullish and bearish crossover points. The "clouds" (kumo, in Japanese) are formed between spans of the average of the tenkan-sen and kijun-sen plotted ahead (senkou span A) and a plotted midpoint high and low (senkou span B).
The cherry on the top, for this private version: is when you want to get a predetermined count in natural “units of time" as minutes, hours or days, in any graph you could get a static average, and this count will be automatically respected. For example, an average could be configurated to know a trend per day, week or month... or whatever comes to mind, and at every single chart that you move through (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, etc), you will see the same average to make your own "trend analysis" into a micro/macro market view.
For more technical information: Investopedia
Note: The previous calculation example is not the default, the parameters can be adjusted according to the criteria of the merchant.

ORTI MACD (Static Timeframe Multi-Period)The " ORTI Moving Average Convergence Divergence (Static Timeframe Multi-Period) " is now a public script, based into a existing study named " MACD aka Moving Average Convergence Divergence ", but with some better functions about time frame and its measurament. As a redesigned and recalculated set of the common plotted averages, a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price.
The cherry on the top for this version is, when you want to get a predetermined count in (ranges) units of time, as: minutes, hours or days, in any graph you could get a static average, and this count will be automatically respected. For example, an average could be configurated to know a trend per day, week or month... or whatever comes to mind, and at every single chart that you move through (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, etc), you will see the same average to make your own "trend analysis" into a micro/macro market view.
But now, with the option to convert the " Exponential Moving Average " to adapt into 9 different kinds of "Moving Averages" and by any of the most used Moving Averages, an hybrid basically.
The following options to convert the "Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) to:
• Double Exponential Moving Average ( DEMA )
• Exponential Moving Average ( EMA )
• Hull Moving Average ( HMA )
• Modified Moving Average ( MMA ) *
• Rolling Moving Average ( RMA ) *
• Simple Moving Average ( SMA )
• Smoothed Moving Average ( SMMA ) *
• Volume-weighted Moving Average ( VWMA )
• Weighted Moving Average ( WMA )
* Same Moving Averages: a Modified Moving Average is otherwise known as the Running Moving Average or Smoothed Moving Average.
The MACD is usually calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA . The result of that calculation is the MACD line. A nine-day EMA of the MACD , called the "Signal Line", is then plotted on top of the MACD line which can function as a trigger for buy and sell signals. Traders may buy the security when the MACD crosses above its signal line and sell, or short, the security when the MACD crosses below the signal line.
The MACD has a positive value whenever the 12-period EMA is above the 26-period EMA and a negative value when the 12-period EMA is below the 26-period EMA . The more distant the MACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the two EMAs is growing. In the following chart, you can see how the two EMAs applied to the price chart correspond to the MACD (blue) crossing above or below its baseline (red dashed) in the indicator below the price chart.
The MACD is often displayed with a histogram which graphs the distance between the MACD and its signal line. If the MACD is above the signal line, the histogram will be above the MACD’s baseline. If the MACD is below its signal line, the histogram will be below the MACD’s baseline. Traders use the MACD’s histogram to identify when bullish or bearish momentum is high.
