# Ichimoku Cloud (ICHIMOKU)

> QuantNexus indicator page for Ichimoku Cloud.

**Route**: `/quantnexus/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

```cpp
#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.
