Ichimoku Theories [LuxAlgo]The Ichimoku Theories indicator is the most complete Ichimoku tool you will ever need. Four tools combined into one to harness all the power of Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō.
This tool features the following concepts based on the work of Goichi Hosoda:
Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō: Original Ichimoku indicator with its five main lines and kumo.
Time Theory: automatic time cycle identification and forecasting to understand market timing.
Wave Theory: automatic wave identification to understand market structure.
Price Theory: automatic identification of developing N waves and possible price targets to understand future price behavior.
🔶 ICHIMOKU KINKŌ HYŌ
Ichimoku with lines only, Kumo only and both together
Let us start with the basics: the Ichimoku original indicator is a tool to understand the market, not to predict it, it is a trend-following tool, so it is best used in trending markets.
Ichimoku tells us what is happening in the market and what may happen next, the aim of the tool is to provide market understanding, not trading signals.
The tool is based on calculating the mid-point between the high and low of three pre-defined ranges as the equilibrium price for short (9 periods), medium (26 periods), and long (52 periods) time horizons:
Tenkan sen: middle point of the range of the last 9 candles
Kinjun sen: middle point of the range of the last 26 candles
Senkou span A: middle point between Tankan Sen and Kijun Sen, plotted 26 candles into the future
Senkou span B: midpoint of the range of the last 52 candles, plotted 26 candles into the future
Chikou span: closing price plotted 26 candles into the past
Kumo: area between Senkou pans A and B (kumo means cloud in Japanese)
The most basic use of the tool is to use the Kumo as an area of possible support or resistance.
🔶 TIME THEORY
Current cycles and forecast
Time theory is a critical concept used to identify historical and current market cycles, and use these to forecast the next ones. This concept is based on the Kihon Suchi (translating to "Basic Numbers" in Japanese), these are 9 and 26, and from their combinations we obtain the following sequence:
9, 17, 26, 33, 42, 51, 65, 76, 129, 172, 200, 257
The main idea is that the market moves in cycles with periods set by the Kihon Suchi sequence.
When the cycle has the same exact periods, we obtain the Taito Suchi (translating to "Same Number" in Japanese).
This tool allows traders to identify historical and current market cycles and forecast the next one.
🔹 Time Cycle Identification
Presentation of 4 different modes: SWINGS, HIGHS, KINJUN, and WAVES .
The tool draws a horizontal line at the bottom of the chart showing the cycles detected and their size.
The following settings are used:
Time Cycle Mode: up to 7 different modes
Wave Cycle: Which wave to use when WAVE mode is selected, only active waves in the Wave Theory settings will be used.
Show Time Cycles: keep a cleaner chart by disabling cycles visualisation
Show last X time cycles: how many cycles to display
🔹 Time Cycle Forecast
Showcasing the two forecasting patterns: Kihon Suchi and Taito Suchi
The tool plots horizontal lines, a solid anchor line, and several dotted forecast lines.
The following settings are used:
Show time cycle forecast: to keep things clean
Forecast Pattern: comes in two flavors
Kihon Suchi plots a line from the anchor at each number in the Kihon Suchi sequence.
Taito Suchi plot lines from the anchor with the same size detected in the anchored cycle
Anchor forecast on last X time cycle: traders can place the anchor in any detected cycle
🔶 WAVE THEORY
All waves activated with overlapping
The main idea behind this theory is that markets move like waves in the sea, back and forth (making swing lows and highs). Understanding the current market structure is key to having realistic expectations of what the market may do next. The waves are divided into Simple and Complex.
The following settings are used:
Basic Waves: allows traders to activate waves I, V and N
Complex Waves: allows traders to activate waves P, Y and W
Overlapping waves: to avoid missing out on any of the waves activated
Show last X waves: how many waves will be displayed
🔹 Basic Waves
The three basic waves
The basic waves from which all waves are made are I, V, and N
I wave: one leg moves
V wave: two legs move, one against the other
N wave: Three legs move, push, pull back, and another push
🔹 Complex Waves
Three complex waves
There are other waves like
P wave: contracting market
Y wave: expanding market
W wave: double top or double bottom
🔶 PRICE THEORY
All targets for the current N wave with their calculations
This theory is based on identifying developing N waves and predicting potential price targets based on that developing wave.
The tool displays 4 basic targets (V, E, N, and NT) and 3 extended targets (2E and 3E) according to the calculations shown in the chart above. Traders can enable or disable each target in the settings panel.
🔶 USING EVERYTHING TOGETHER
Please DON'T do this. This is not how you use it
Now the real example:
Daily chart of Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ1!) with our Ichimoku analysis
Time, waves, and price theories go together as one:
First, we identify the current time cycles and wave structure.
Then we forecast the next cycle and possible key price levels.
We identify a Taito Suchi with both legs of exactly 41 candles on each I wave, both together forming a V wave, the last two I waves are part of a developing N wave, and the time cycle of the first one is 191 candles. We forecast this cycle into the future and get 22nd April as a key date, so in 6 trading days (as of this writing) the market would have completed another Taito Suchi pattern if a new wave and time cycle starts. As we have a developing N wave we can see the potential price targets, the price is actually between the NT and V targets. We have a bullish Kumo and the price is touching it, if this Kumo provides enough support for the price to go further, the market could reach N or E targets.
So we have identified the cycle and wave, our expectations are that the current cycle is another Taito Suchi and the current wave is an N wave, the first I wave went for 191 candles, and we expect the second and third I waves together to amount to 191 candles, so in theory the N wave would complete in the next 6 trading days making a swing high. If this is indeed the case, the price could reach the V target (it is almost there) or even the N target if the bulls have the necessary strength.
We do not predict the future, we can only aim to understand the current market conditions and have future expectations of when (time), how (wave), and where (price) the market will make the next turning point where one side of the market overcomes the other (bulls vs bears).
To generate this chart, we change the following settings from the default ones:

Extended Ichimoku by Grzechu789This script extends capabilities of Ichimoku Indicator adding nondisplaced SSB line (serves as Kijun Sen line) and ability to see Kijun Sen line from higher (or lower) timeframes.
Other than that it's same as original Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Indicator. Enjoy!

ICHIMOKU MTFMultiple Time Frame Version of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Indicator.
Created in 1940's by Goichi Hosoda withe the help of University students in Japan.
Ichimoku is one of the best trend following indicators that works nearly perfect in all markets and time frames.
Ichimoku is originally an built in indicator in Tradingview but there are some problems like:
the indicator hast 5 lines but you can change only 4 parameters in the settings menu of Tradingview Charts which you could only control 3 of the lines effectively. A second problem is that Tradingview preferred to use English titles for the ICHIMOKU lines instead of giving them the most common original Japanese ones. (So I rewrite the indicator)
Kijun Sen (blue line): Also called standard line or base line, this is calculated by averaging the highest high and the lowest low for the past 26 periods.
Tenkan Sen (red line): This is also known as the turning line and is derived by averaging the highest high and the lowest low for the past nine periods.
Chikou Span (Plum line): This is called the lagging line. It is today’s closing price plotted 26 periods behind.
Senkou SpanA (green line): The first Senkou line is calculated by averaging the Tenkan Sen and the Kijun Sen and plotted 26 periods ahead.
Senkou SpanB (purple line):
The second Senkou line is determined by averaging the highest high and the lowest low for the past 52 periods and plotted 26 periods ahead.
PERSONALLY I ADVISE YOU TO USE ICHIMOKU WITH DEAFULT LENGTHS (9,26,26,52,26) IN ORDER FOR STOCK MARKETS AND FOREX MARKETS
FOR CRYPTO YOU'D BETTER USE:
10,30,30,60,30 OR 20,60,60,120,60
THE TRICKY THING IS THAT KEEPING THE 1-3-3-6-3 RATIO CONSTANT IS NECESSARY

Renko Ichimoku CloudThis script utilizes its source from a non-repainting renko closing price. Renko charts focus solely on price movement and minimize the impacts of time and the extra noise time creates. Employing the renko close helps smooth out the Ichimoku Cloud. Insignificant price movements will not cause a change in the plotted lines of the indicator unless a new threshold is breached or a "brick" is created.
This Ichmoku Cloud includes all standard lines with standard lengths. These include:
Tenken Sen
Kiju Sen
Senkou A/B
Chikou Span
We have also included plotted marks for when there is a Tenken Sen/ Kiju Sen cross and for the Kumo cloud twist.
There are two methods for selecting the box size. Box size is critical for the overall function and efficacy of the plots you will visually see with this indicator. Box size is set automatically using the Average True Range "ATR" or manually using the "Traditional" setting. The simplest way to determine a manual box six is to take the ATR of the given instrument and round it to the nearest decimal place. As an example, if the ATR for the asset is 0.017, you would round that number to 0.02 and utilize this as your traditional box size.
Chikou Filter for Ichimoku CloudThis Indicator enhances functionality of Chikou-Span from Ichimoku Cloud using a simple trend filter.
Methodology
Chikou is basically close value of ticker offset to close and it is a good for indicating if close value has crossed potential Support/Resistance zone from past. Chikou is usually used with 26 period.
Chikou filter uses a lookback length calculated from provided lookback percentage and checks if trend was bullish or bearish within that lookback period.
Bullish : Trend is bullish if Chikou span is above high values of all candles within defined lookback period. Green color shows bullish trend.
Bearish: Trend is bearish if Chikou span is below low values of all candles within defined lookback period. This is indicated by red color.
Reversal / Choppiness : White color indicates that Chikou are swinging around candles within defined lookback period which is an indication of consolidation or trend reversal.
Default Settings
Different source types are included but I've found that (OHLC4+High+Low)/3 is better for Chikou and Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) is also applied but it produce some repainting though. Default period is set to 26 and lookback percentage is 50%. Low percentage would decrease filter's efficiency.
Usage
This filter can be used to check if Chikou crossover has occurred in past. This can be used with Donchain channels, Bollinger Bands or any Moving Average as replacement of High / Low values. I'll use this indicator in all my Ichimoku Cloud studies especially adaptive ones. Filter outputs in Color and Integer format; both can be used as signals definitions.
Ichimoku Cloud OscillatorThis script shows Ichimoku values in a different manner. While studying Ichimoku one thing stuck out to me and that is that the Kijun-Sen line is considered to be the equilibrium of the market, it acts like a magnet and price always returns to it. Taking this into account I made a script that plots the distance from equilibrium as an oscillator.
With that value being an oscillator it allows for some analysis that would have been harder to do looking at the normal ichimoku chart. For example smoothing the value and comparing the distance to the average distance to see if the market reached an extremity (too far from equilibrium). I added a bollinger band for those who are interested in analysing the value in that way but in my experience I do not use it except for noticing if market spiked outside of the band (green and red dots).
It is advised to use this oscillator as a trend analysis tool the same way you would use a money flow. Below a breakdown of current features
- Disequilibrium1: The white sharp wave is the raw distance from Kijun with settings to smooth it out using a WMA
- Disequilibrium2: The blue smooth wave is the smooth distance from Kijun with settings to smooth it further out using a WMA
- Yellow line: The distance of Tenkan-Sen from Kijun-Sen which in alot of ichimoku strategys act as a trend filter or a crossover as market change.
- Green and red zone: The slope of the kumo cloud, color coded to see if kumo is red or green. Use it in the same way you would use money flow on market cypher, it is a longer term trend strength indicator and like all smoothed values it lags behind. You can use this to decide which direction to trade in but not as a signal on it's own.
- Bollinger Band: Acts the same way a bollinger band does, use this to analyse the wave structure, especialy the middle line the same way you would use Disequilibrium2, if the waves are a good distance from this line market can be overbought oversold or it is just a good indication that the trend is strong. Outer bands should be your warning bands as the waves tend to jump back to the middle line when touching those.
Would love some feedback on this as I do not think this can be used for divergences but would like to hear some possible patterns/strategys.
My current strategy is noticing an increasing wave after a squeeze (waves keep getting smaller untill a large trend happens, wave no longer goes to middle and keeps expanding). When I notice this I wait for the white wave to enter the blue and touch the mid bollinger line (small pullback during strong trend) and open a trade in the direction of the trend. I use the green and red zone to decide if the long term direction tells the same to get confluence.
Future Ichimoku LinesFuture Ichimoku Lines Plot: Tenkan-sen next 5 days, Kijun-sen next 10 days, Kumo A next 5 days and Kumo B next 14 days will be display
This will help you forecast the future of price and increase winning probability!
Always remember, risk management is the key of a successful trader
Have a nice trade! :D

Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Ichimoku VariationsThe Ichimoku cloud is traditionally constructed from the highest high and lowest low for a number of periods. This script allows for it to be transformed and calculated like more traditional moving averages (e.g. simple moving average, exponential moving average). Since the Ichimoku is normally a system of moving average-like lines, maybe someone out there will learn something from being able to switch to sma, ema, etc etc.
In general, I think no TA indicator is a magic bullet, and you should just use what you like!

Adaptive IchimokuThis is part 10 of 11 in the system named Ninetales/Volt V2 you can find on Tradingview.
No. You may not add custom values, testing all the variables of Ichimoku is a giant pita. You can uncheck ones you dont like though.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (colorblind friendly)This is the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator, using colorblind friendly colors as much as possible so that every line or cloud trend can be identified more easily. It is correctly visible both in bright and dark mode.
Note: I have only tested the visibility on myself (I'm deuter), if anyone with another kind of colorblindness has issues distinguishing lines, I'll happily take any suggestion to improve this script.
Ichimoku Time RetracementThis is educational tool for understand pullback measurement .
Price pullback and Time pullback is basic concept for ichimoku.
I change parameters to understand relationship of each line easily and add lines .
Enjoy!!
Ichimoku 2 sets of settings, markers and alertsThis is my take on the masterful, beautiful and powerful Ichimoku.
It comes with:
- 2 sets of settings you can flip between,
- 5 types of markers:
--- Tenkan/Kijun crosses,
--- Price (close)/Tenkan crosses, with the option of only showing those occurring with the trend, so on pullbacks,
--- Price (close) exits out of the Kumo,
--- Chikou exits out of the Kumo,
--- Overbought/Oversold conditions (shown on the chart).
- Choice of showing only long or short markers,
- Coloring of bars using OB/OS conditions,
- Alerts on all markers and on combinations.
The markers are intended as indications—not bulletproof buy/sell signals.
The overbought/oversold conditions are detected when the high/low is a multiple of ATR away from Kijun. The ATR length and multiple used are configurable.
I normally use the Josh Olszewicz (CarpeNoctom) big settings, so those are the default.
I prefer subtle coloring on charts and my choice of colors reflects that.
You will see references to KumoA and KumoB in the names of inputs and style elements. For me, KumoA is the top of the Kumo when it is bullish, so the bottom when bearish.
As usual when creating alerts, be sure you already have defined proper inputs and that you are on the intended interval, as they will be used when triggering alerts.
Ichimoku HorizonIchimoku Horizon – Multi-Timeframe Analysis
A multi-timeframe Ichimoku faithful to Hosoda, with authentic real-time calculations.
Ichimoku Horizon is an indicator based on the original method developed by Goichi Hosoda in the 1930s. It strictly respects the authentic formulas and prioritizes mathematical fidelity.
Key Features
Intelligent Multi-Timeframe
Native chart: Ichimoku from your trading timeframe
3 higher timeframes: Daily (1D), Weekly (1W), Monthly (1M) by default
Automatic projection: only higher timeframes relative to the chart are displayed
Precise offsets: displacement adapted to each timeframe
Guaranteed Authenticity
Hosoda’s original formulas fully respected
lookahead_off exclusively: lines calculated in real time with the current candle
Traditional displacement: 26 periods for cloud projection and Chikou shift
Why lookahead_off?
lookahead_off is the calculation mode that respects Hosoda’s logic:
Tenkan, Kijun, SSA and SSB all include the current candle and move in real time.
Chikou is the only exception: shifted 26 periods but calculated only with confirmed closes.
This way, what you see always matches the actual market as it is forming.
What is the no repaint approach?
A no repaint indicator displays values exactly as they exist in the present moment:
Lines update in real time during the formation of a candle.
Once the candle closes, they remain permanently fixed.
This ensures that the plots reflect the true construction of the market.
Main Parameters
Tenkan: 9 periods (short term)
Kijun: 26 periods (medium term)
SSB: 52 periods (long term)
Displacement: 26 periods (+26 for the cloud, −26 for the Chikou)
Timeframe Selection
TF1: Daily (structure aligned with trading activity)
TF2: Weekly (intermediate trend)
TF3: Monthly (macro vision)
Example Configurations
Scalping: Chart 1m → TF1: 5m, TF2: 15m, TF3: 1H
Intraday: Chart 5m → TF1: 15m, TF2: 1H, TF3: 4H
The indicator automatically hides inconsistent timeframes (lower than the chart).
Natural Line Display
Some lines will sometimes appear flat or straight: this is the normal behavior of Ichimoku, directly reflecting the highs and lows of their calculation windows.
Conclusion
Ichimoku Horizon is designed to remain true to Hosoda’s vision while offering the clarity of a modern multi-timeframe tool.
It delivers authentic, real-time calculations with no compromise.
