Ichimoku Cloud (ICHIMOKU)

StratCraft indicator page for Ichimoku Cloud.

Route: /indicators/ichimoku/

What It Does

Ichimoku Cloud combines trend, momentum, and support/resistance into one framework. It is one of the most complete visual indicators for regime analysis.

Formula

Tenkan-sen = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over 9 periods

Kijun-sen = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over 26 periods

Senkou Span A = (Tenkan + Kijun) / 2 displaced 26 periods forward

Senkou Span B = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over 52 periods, displaced forward

Parameters

  • tenkan - default 9
  • kijun - default 26
  • senkou - default 52
  • senkou_lead - default 26
  • chikou - default 26

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/ichimoku.hpp>
auto ichi = std::make_unique<nonabt::ICHIMOKU>(data(), 9, 26, 52, 26, 26);

Common Usage

  • Use Ichimoku to identify trend direction.
  • Use the cloud as dynamic support and resistance.
  • Use Tenkan/Kijun crossovers as triggers.

Practical Pattern

Trend-following systems often trade only when price is above the cloud and the conversion/base lines are aligned bullishly.
