Ichimoku Cloud

A multi-component trend indicator: support/resistance, momentum and the cloud. Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is a system of five lines: Tenkan-sen (9-period), Kijun-sen (26-period), Senkou Span A and B (which form the Kumo cloud), and Chikou Span (the lagging line). The cloud serves as a dynamic support/resistance level. Price above the cloud — an uptrend, below — a downtrend.

Formula:

Tenkan-sen  = (Highest(High,9) + Lowest(Low,9)) / 2
Kijun-sen   = (Highest(High,26) + Lowest(Low,26)) / 2
Senkou A    = (Tenkan + Kijun) / 2  [shifted forward by 26]
Senkou B    = (Highest(High,52) + Lowest(Low,52)) / 2  [shifted forward by 26]
Chikou Span = Close  [shifted back by 26]
