Ichimoku Cloud

In this strategy, you’ll be guided through trading with a compilation of 3 indicators.

• 200 EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

200 EMA is a technical analysis tool. It’s a line showing the average price for the last 200 candles on the selected timeframe.

• Ichimoku Cloud

Ichimoku Cloud is a technical indicator that tells traders about the market (whether it’s bearish or bullish), support and resistance levels, and probable trend changes. In this case, we use it to measure market sentiment.

• MACD (Moving average convergence divergence indicator)

MACD is an indicator that visualises the convergence and divergence of the lower moving averages.

Indicator settings

• 200 EMA

• Ichimoku Cloud

These settings indicate the periods of line calculation. They are displayed on the price history of the instrument for the clouds' formation. 

In simple words, it takes different time periods where the maximum and minimum prices are added up and divided by 2. Ichimoku clouds tell us about the local mood of the market to help us make a trading decision.

We would only use Leading Span B Length and Lagging Span inputs for our strategy out of 4 major ones.

• Conversion Line Length

Conversion Line Length is a 20-hour moving average used to smoothing price fluctuations (doesn't show up in our strategy; used to form clouds)

• Base Line Length

Base Line Length is a 60-hour moving average used to smoothing price fluctuations (doesn't show up in our strategy; used to form clouds)

• Leading Span B Length

Leading Span B Length is the cloud-forming green line. It shows the likely formation of price support in the future from the settlement period of 120 candlesticks.

• Lagging Span

Lagging Span is the number of candles leading the price to determine the likelihood of support or resistance levels in the future after 30 candles.
