Chikou Filter for Ichimoku CloudThis Indicator enhances functionality of Chikou-Span from Ichimoku Cloud using a simple trend filter.
Methodology
Chikou is basically close value of ticker offset to close and it is a good for indicating if close value has crossed potential Support/Resistance zone from past. Chikou is usually used with 26 period.
Chikou filter uses a lookback length calculated from provided lookback percentage and checks if trend was bullish or bearish within that lookback period.
Bullish : Trend is bullish if Chikou span is above high values of all candles within defined lookback period. Green color shows bullish trend.
Bearish: Trend is bearish if Chikou span is below low values of all candles within defined lookback period. This is indicated by red color.
Reversal / Choppiness : White color indicates that Chikou are swinging around candles within defined lookback period which is an indication of consolidation or trend reversal.
Default Settings
Different source types are included but I've found that (OHLC4+High+Low)/3 is better for Chikou and Symmetrically Weighted Moving Average (SWMA) is also applied but it produce some repainting though. Default period is set to 26 and lookback percentage is 50%. Low percentage would decrease filter's efficiency.
Usage
This filter can be used to check if Chikou crossover has occurred in past. This can be used with Donchain channels, Bollinger Bands or any Moving Average as replacement of High / Low values. I'll use this indicator in all my Ichimoku Cloud studies especially adaptive ones. Filter outputs in Color and Integer format; both can be used as signals definitions.
Chikouspan
Chikou Span 'Open Space' ColorsThe Ichimoku Clouds strategy has been one of my favorite scripts to work with since I came across it a few months ago, so I thought I'd share one of the automated features I created for the strategy.
For the purpose of this script, I'll only explain the Chikou Span aspect of it since there are plenty of other explanations about Ichimoku Clouds.
The Chikou Span is one of the most useful aspects of the Ichimoku Clouds strategy despite it not being used in most people's strategies. It is calculated by simply taking the current closing value and plotting it backwards 26 bars. The Chikou Span is used to identify large trend moves and trend reversals by what is referred to as 'open space'. This occurs when the Chikou Span is not intersecting any candlestick within 10 bars (if you were to draw a horizontal line from the tip of the Chikou Span, it would not touch any part of a candle within 10 bars).
The purpose of this script is to better identify the Chikou Span reaching 'open space' by coloring the Chikou Span's line:
- Green when it is in upwards open space (bullish trend), and
- Red when it is in downwards open space (bearish trend).
I've also included my personal color scheme for the Ichimoku Clouds strategy as well as inputs to turn on/off every aspect of the strategy.
** Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT TRADING ADVICE. The Chikou Span should not be used on its own to make any trades. When trading with the Ichimoku Cloud strategy, one should utilize all 5 lines of the strategy to make realistic trades.

【Super Bollinger】The market consists of three phases: an uptrend phase, a downtrend phase, and a range-bound phase.Furthermore, if we include a trend phase and a correction phase, the market has five phases. In other words, the market is classified into the “five phases” as below:
1) Uptrend market (trend phase, upward bias)
2) Downtrend market (trend phase, downward bias)
3) Upward correction phase (correction phase, upward bias)
4) Downward correction phase (correction phase, downward bias)
5) Range-bound phase, sideways (correction phase, basically not biased)
For your judgment of the above market trends, Super Bollinger is extremely useful and effective. And Super Bollinger has advantage in judging market price level.
そもそも、相場は、5つの局面に分けることができます。
すなわち、

２）下降トレンド局面（下降バイアス）
３）調整の反騰局面（上昇バイアス）
４）調整の反落局面（下降バイアス）
５）レンジ局面（バイアスなし）
そして、スーパーボリンジャー、これら5つの局面の判断を下す際にきわめて有効なツールです。また、とりわけ、価格分析に優れたチャートです。
