Classic TA

One glance, whole market, and every component has to agree.

how ichimoku cloud trend works
cross above cloud → BUYprice above cloud = bullish regimekumo cloud

What it does

Ichimoku is already a confluence system: equilibrium lines (Tenkan 9, Kijun 26), a forward cloud (Span A/B) acting as dynamic support, and a lagging momentum read. This strategy only takes a long when price is above the cloud, the Tenkan freshly crosses the Kijun, the cloud itself is bullish, price holds the Kijun baseline, and momentum (close vs 26 bars ago) agrees.

How it works

  1. 1Compute Tenkan, Kijun and the Span A/B cloud (all drawn on the chart).
  2. 2Confirm 1: price above/below the cloud. Confirm 2: a fresh Tenkan/Kijun cross.
  3. 3Confirm 3: the cloud is the right colour. Confirm 4: price holds the Kijun baseline.
  4. 4Confirm 5: lagging momentum (close vs 26 bars ago) agrees. Needs four-plus.
