This indicator displays the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, commonly known as the Ichimoku Cloud. While MT4 and MT5 come equipped with an Ichimoku Cloud indicator by default, there is a known issue where the leading lines and spans are counted from the next candlestick rather than from the current one, resulting in a one-bar displacement. This modified indicator corrects that displacement.
Although the displacement is only one bar and might not seem significant, if you want to analyze using an Ichimoku Kinko Hyo that matches the original specifications, we recommend using this version.
【Comparison image of the default Ichimoku Cloud (pink) overlaid with the corrected version】
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is an indicator that displays five different lines on the chart: the conversion line (Tenkan-sen), base line (Kijun-sen), lagging span (Chikou Span), leading span A (Senkou Span A), and leading span B (Senkou Span B). The area between the leading spans is referred to as "the cloud."
【Lines of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo】
The basic analysis method of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo involves what is called the "Three Roles." When all three roles indicate an uptrend, it is referred to as a "bullish three-line agreement" (sanyaku kouten), and when all indicate a downtrend, it is known as a "bearish three-line agreement" (sanyakugyakuten).
【Example of a sanyakugyakuten】
When the short-term trend indicator, the conversion line, crosses above the medium-long term trend indicator, the base line, it suggests strengthening bullish momentum. Conversely, a cross below indicates strengthening bearish momentum.
【Relationship between the Conversion Line and Base Line】
The cloud is formed between leading span A and leading span B. When the price moves above the cloud, it suggests a strengthening uptrend. Conversely, a move below the cloud suggests a downtrend. If the price moves within the cloud, it is considered trendless.
【Relationship between the Cloud and Price】
The lagging span is the current price projected backwards. When the lagging span moves above past prices, it suggests bullish momentum; a move below suggests bearish momentum.
【Relationship between the Lagging Span and Price】
