Description

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is a Japanese technical indicator used to gauge momentum along with areas of support and resistance. Ichimoku contains comprised five lines called the Tenkan Sen, Kijun Sen, Senkou Span A, Senkou Span B and Chickou Span, and is devised like an "all-in-one" indicator that helps gauge an market's trend, momentum and support and resistance points at the same time.

Example

This example nicely plots the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B indicators as a dual fill band:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using WealthLab;
using Community.Indicators;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies
{
	public class MyStrategy : WealthScript
	{
		protected override void Execute()
		{
			PlotSeriesDualFillBand( PricePane, SenkouSpanA.Series(Bars), SenkouSpanB.Series(Bars), 
				Color.FromArgb( 50, Color.Blue ), Color.FromArgb( 50, Color.Red ), 
				Color.FromArgb( 50, Color.Black ), LineStyle.Solid, 1 );
		}
	}
}

This example demonstrates a neat WealthScript trick: pushing the price DataSeries back 26 bars to align with the Kumo, so that the Kumo is plotted 26 periods into the future:


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Drawing;
using WealthLab;
using Community.Indicators;

namespace WealthLab.Strategies
{
	public class IchimokuClouds : WealthScript
	{
		protected override void Execute()
		{
			int p4 = 26;
			
			// Push the Price DataSeries back 26 bars to align with Kumo
			for (int bar = p4; bar < Bars.Count; bar++)
			{
				int b = bar - p4 + 1;
				Openb = Openbar;
				Highb = Highbar;
				Lowb = Lowbar;
				Closeb = Closebar;
			}
			
			// flat line the values for the last 26 bars
			double last = CloseBars.Count - 1;			
			for (int bar =  Bars.Count - p4 + 1; bar < Bars.Count; bar++)
			{
				Openbar = last;
				Highbar = last;
				Lowbar  = last;
				Closebar = last;
			}					
			
			Color ltRed = Color.FromArgb(60, 255, 0, 0);
			Color ltBlue = Color.FromArgb(60, 0, 0, 255);
			PlotSeriesDualFillBand( PricePane, SenkouSpanA.Series(Bars), SenkouSpanB.Series(Bars), ltBlue, ltRed, Color.Red, LineStyle.Solid, 1 );
			HideVolume();
		}
	}
