Ichimoku Signals
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this site highlights the most recent of each for
each ticker.
The Ichimoku signals, indeed all Ichimoku elements, should never be taken in isolation, but considered in the context of
the overall chart. Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is a visual technical analysis system and the charts are designed to be
considered in their entirety, with regard given to the relationships between all of the elements, including the price. As
such, Ichimoku is not suitable for automated or "single event" decision making.
Remember that Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is a technical trend trading charting system and trends can and do change, so
your readings of the charts should be probabilistic, rather than predictive. As with most technical analysis methods,
Ichimoku is likely to produce frequent conflicting signals in non-trending markets.
The five kinds of signal are described below. Most can be classified as strong, neutral, or weak by their proximate
relationship to the Kumo (cloud), but each signal may be further strengthened, weakened, or nullified by the
relationships between other elements. All signals must be considered in respect to the overall chart.
IchimokuTrader.com provides only a brief summary of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system; further reading is suggested.

Chikou Span Cross

The Chikou Span Cross signal occurs when the Chikou Span (Lagging line) rises above or falls below the price.
Note that the Chikou Span must be rising when it crosses to above the price for a bull signal and falling when it
crosses to below for a bear signal; just crossing the price alone is not sufficient to trigger the signal.
As the Chikou Span is the closing price shifted into the past, the cross that triggers this signal will be 26 days behind
the price and, hence, the actual date that the signal occurs. The strength of the signal is determined by the
relationship of the price on the date of the signal (not the trigger) to the Kumo (Cloud).

A bullish signal occurs when the Chikou Span rises from below to above the price

A weak bullish signal occurs if A neutral bullish signal occurs if A strong bullish signal occurs if
the current price is below the the current price is inside the the current price is above the

A bearish signal occurs when the Chikou Span falls from above to below the price

A weak bearish signal occurs if A neutral bearish signal occurs if A strong bearish signal occurs if
the current price is above the the current price is inside the the current price is below the
