Ichimoku Cloud & Candles

The Ichimoku Cloud is a hybrid indicator combining numerous technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as indicating momentum and trend direction. Ichimoku does so by taking multiple, pre-set price moving averages and plotting them on the chart in line form. It also uses these inputs to create a "cloud" which intends to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future. Refer to standard, and widely available, Ichimoku Cloud technical publications and/or YT videos for information on how to trade using the Ichimoku Cloud.

This indicator uses standard/default Ichimoku settings. The difference between this indicator and standard Ichimoku indicators is that the candle colors are based on price relative to the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, and as such are painted lime, fuchsia and gray. Lime price candles indicate that price is in an uptrend; fuchsia candles indicate a downtrend; gray is no identifiable trend, or neutral.
