Ichimoku

What does Ichimoku measure?

A whole trading system in one overlay: two fast trend lines, a cloud of support and resistance ahead, and a lagging line that confirms.

How is Ichimoku calculated?

`tenkan` is the midpoint of the last 9 candles' high and low, `kijun` the midpoint of the last 26, `senkou_a` those two averaged, and `senkou_b` the midpoint of the last 52. The two cloud lines and `chikou` are normally drawn shifted forward 26 candles — here we expose the value that was ALREADY KNOWN 26 candles ago, so nothing reads a candle from the future.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Ichimoku in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type ichimoku (parameters: length, default 14). Its output series — tenkan, kijun, senkou_a, senkou_b, chikou — become operands you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
