The Ichimoku Cloud market analysis strategy is a quantitative trading strategy that uses Ichimoku Cloud indicators for trend determination and trade signal generation. It identifies bullish and bearish trends based on price breakouts of the cloud bands and golden crosses of the Tenkan and Kijun lines, with detailed entry and exit trade logic. The strategy combines both trend following and swing catching capabilities.
The Ichimoku Cloud strategy utilizes the following key indicators:
Tenkan Line: 7-9 period moving average, representing short-term trend.
Kijun Line: 22-26 period moving average, representing medium-term trend.
Cloud Bands: Consisting of Leading Span and Lagging Span, representing long-term trend support and resistance zones.
Chikou Line: The lagging current price.
The criteria for trade signals are:
Long signal: When price and Chikou Line break above the cloud and Tenkan crosses above Kijun.
Short signal: When price and Chikou Line break below the cloud and Tenkan crosses below Kijun.
Exit signal: When price triggers the opposite signal of entry direction.
The advantage of this strategy is considering the trends of short, medium and long three periods to avoid being misled by a single period. The cloud bands can act as strong support and resistance levels. The golden crossovers also generate relatively accurate trade signals.
Considers multi-period trends for robust judgment
Cloud bands form support and resistance
Golden crosses generate precise signals
Combines trend and swing, systematical strength
Adjustable parameters adaptable to market changes
Trade signals may have time lags
Overly narrow or wide cloud range may misjudge trends
Period parameters need proper adjustments
Relatively complex system requires some learning
The Ichimoku Cloud strategy comprehensively uses multiple indicators for trend direction and timely entry when signals emerge. It balances trend and swing, adaptable to various market environments. But parameter tuning and lagging signal prevention are important. When mastered, it can form a robust trading system.
