Ichimoku combina la nube Kumo con las líneas Tenkan (conversion) y Kijun (base): precio sobre la nube y nube alcista apuntan a tendencia alcista.

En la categoría Start Bots Signal se recopilan descripciones de señales e indicadores que pueden iniciar un bot de trading. Uno de los indicadores técnicos es Ichimoku.

Al crear y editar cada bot, en la parte inferior de la configuración hay un bloque Constructor de señales de inicio. Allí puedes elegir indicadores individuales, presets listos y sus combinaciones. Las condiciones se agrupan: Y dentro del grupo, O entre grupos. El mismo indicador puede configurarse de formas distintas - para Long y Short, para rupturas y rebotes, para comparar con un nivel o para cruces.

Qué es Ichimoku

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo («gráfico de equilibrio de un vistazo») es un indicador de tendencia japonés que muestra dirección, impulso y zonas de soporte/resistencia en una pantalla. El constructor de señales ELIXOAI ofrece cuatro presets basados en el indicador TAAPI ichimoku.

Elementos clave: Tenkan-sen (conversion) - línea rápida, media de high/low en 9 periodos; Kijun-sen (base) - línea lenta de 26 periodos; nube Kumo - área entre Span A y Span B, desplazada 26 velas. Nube alcista - Span A sobre Span B; bajista - lo contrario. Precio sobre la nube = contexto alcista, debajo bajista, dentro incertidumbre.

Ichimoku funciona como sistema de filtros: ruptura sobre Kumo top confirma compradores, cruce Tenkan/Kijun captura impulso local, cambio de color de nube marca giro de medio plazo. En lateral hay mucho ruido - combine presets o filtros en marco superior.

Ichimoku vs EMA and MACD

Ichimoku overlaps with other trend tools but gives a more complete picture:

  • EMA - a single moving average of close. Ichimoku uses high/low averages (Tenkan, Kijun) and builds a zone (the cloud), not one line. EMA is easier to tune but does not show support/resistance “thickness”.
  • MACD - difference of two EMAs, a momentum oscillator. Ichimoku also has fast/slow lines (Tenkan/Kijun), but TK cross is only one of four presets; the main filter is price vs Kumo.
  • Ichimoku combines trend, impulse, and levels: Kumo top/bottom are dynamic cloud boundaries; currentSpanA/B are live boundaries without displacement. In ELIXOAI each component is available as an output for custom conditions.

Cómo funciona Ichimoku

Cálculo estándar (valores TAAPI):

  • Tenkan (conversion) = (max high + min low) / 2 over conversionPeriod (9). Fast line, reacts to local extremes.
  • Kijun (base) = (max high + min low) / 2 over basePeriod (26). Slow line; price above Kijun - bullish bias, below - bearish.
  • Span A = (Tenkan + Kijun) / 2, shifted displacement (26) bars forward. Span B = (max high + min low) / 2 over spanPeriod (52), also shifted.
  • Kumo (cloud) - zone between Span A and Span B. currentSpanA/B - values without shift (current cloud on chart). max(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) - cloud top (Kumo top), min(...) - bottom (Kumo bottom).

In the builder you pick a preset or build a condition manually: compare an output to price, another output, or a level. The system fetches Ichimoku values via TAAPI and checks the condition on your timeframe - at candle close or every minute.

Outputs disponibles

El indicador ichimoku devuelve estos valores:

  • conversion (Tenkan): fast line; used in the cruce Tenkan/Kijun preset.
  • base (Kijun): slow line; cross target for Tenkan or trend filter.
  • spanA: cloud Span A (shifted); compared to spanB in cloud color preset.
  • spanB: cloud Span B (shifted); slow Kumo boundary.
  • currentSpanA: live Span A without shift - the “current” cloud on the bar.
  • currentSpanB: live Span B without shift.
  • max(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) - Kumo top: upper cloud boundary; ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up uses price cross up through it.
  • min(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) - Kumo bottom: lower cloud boundary; ichimoku_kumo_breakout_down uses price cross down through it.

Parámetros Ichimoku

  • conversionPeriod (Tenkan): default 9, range 1–300. Lower - more sensitive Tenkan and more TK crosses.
  • basePeriod (Kijun): default 26, range 1–300. Classic 9/26 ratio for 15m–1h.
  • spanPeriod (Span B): default 52, range 1–500. Sets cloud “thickness” and slowness.
  • displacement: default 26, range 1–300. Forward shift of Span A/B; currentSpanA/B have no shift.

Standard 9/26/52/26 is Hosoda’s daily setting. On crypto 15m–4h defaults often stay; for 5m scalping you may scale periods down proportionally (e.g. 5/13/26/13) - backtest first.

Presets listos en el constructor

The builder offers four Ichimoku presets with defaults (15m, check at bar close, parameters 9/26/52/26). Each is fully customizable: different operator, timeframe, or output.

ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up - ruptura de nube al alza

Condición por defecto: max(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) (Kumo top) crosses price from below to above (cross up) on 15m.

Long signal: price breaks above the cloud top - exit from uncertainty or bearish context. Stronger if the cloud is already bullish (Span A > Span B) or Tenkan is above Kijun. For Short use ichimoku_kumo_breakout_down.

ichimoku_kumo_breakout_down - ruptura de nube a la baja

Condición por defecto: min(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) (Kumo bottom) crosses price from above to below (cross down) on 15m.

Short signal: price falls below Kumo bottom - loss of bullish structure. More effective with bearish cloud and Tenkan below Kijun. Combine with RSI > 60 for shorts from overbought.

ichimoku_cloud_color - nube alcista

Condición por defecto: spanA crosses spanB from below to above (cross up) on 15m - cloud turns bullish.

Medium-term trend shift: Span A rises above Span B - buyers dominate cloud structure. For bearish cloud set cross down. Often used as a filter with kumo_breakout_up, not as the only condition.

ichimoku_tenkan_kijun - cruce Tenkan/Kijun

Condición por defecto: conversion (Tenkan) crosses base (Kijun) from below to above (cross up) on 15m.

Classic “TK cross”: fast line overtakes slow - local upward impulse. Short-term golden cross analogue. For Short - cross down. Many false signals in ranges; add “price above Kumo top” or nube alcista filter.

Operadores disponibles
  • Cruza hacia arriba (cross up): left output was below right and moved above. Main Long operator for all four presets.
  • Cruza hacia abajo (cross down): left output was above and dropped below. Short versions of presets.
  • Mayor que (gt): e.g. price gt Kumo top - sustained above cloud without fresh breakout.
  • Menor que (lt): price lt Kumo bottom - bearish context, Short filter.
  • Mayor o igual (gte): Tenkan gte Kijun - bullish bias without a cross.
  • Menor o igual (lte): Tenkan lte Kijun - bearish bias on higher TF as filter.

Ajustes generales del constructor

  • Marco temporal (intervalo): 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1d. Intervalos menores dan más señales pero más ruido. Los bots swing suelen usar 1h–4h; el scalping usa 5m–15m.
  • Modo de comprobación: Al cierre de la vela - se comprueba tras el cierre, menos falsos disparos. Cada minuto - comprobación dentro de la vela actual, reacción más rápida, mayor riesgo de inicio falso.
  • Operador: mayor, menor, cruza hacia arriba/abajo, mayor o igual, etc. definen cómo se compara el valor del indicador con el objetivo.
  • Valor objetivo: número (p. ej. 30 en RSI), línea del indicador (p. ej. %D en Stochastic) o precio (en Bollinger Bands).
  • Grupos de condiciones: hasta 3 grupos con hasta 5 condiciones cada uno. Ejemplo: grupo 1 - RSI < 30 Y precio < banda inferior; grupo 2 - Stochastic < 20. El bot inicia si se cumple el grupo 1 O el grupo 2.

Ejemplos de configuración para distintas estrategias

Kumo breakout up - classic Long

Objetivo: start when price exits above the cloud.
Long: preset ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up, 15m, check at close.
Filtro: ichimoku_cloud_color cross up on same 15m OR price already gt Kumo top on 4h.
Strong trend scenario after consolidation inside or below the cloud.

Kumo breakout down - Short

Short: preset ichimoku_kumo_breakout_down, 15m, Kumo bottom cross down vs price.
Filtro: spanA cross down spanB (bearish cloud) on 1h.
Fits short grids when higher-TF bullish structure breaks down.

Bullish cloud + price above Kumo

Long: ichimoku_cloud_color cross up (spanA cross up spanB) on 1h AND price gt max(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) on 15m.
Lógica: medium-term trend turned; lower TF confirms hold above cloud. Fewer false entries than TK cross alone.

cruce Tenkan/Kijun - impulse Long

Long: ichimoku_tenkan_kijun (conversion cross up base) on 15m.
Filtro: price gt Kijun (base) on same 15m - TK cross only in bullish half of chart.
Short: conversion cross down base AND price lt Kijun.

Kumo breakout + cloud confirmation

Grupo 1: ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up on 15m AND ichimoku_cloud_color - spanA gt spanB (gte) on 15m.
Lógica: Kumo top break with already nube alcista - double strength confirmation. One of the most conservative Ichimoku Long setups.

Pullback to cloud

Long: on 4h price gt Kumo top (separate gt condition) AND on 15m ichimoku_tenkan_kijun cross up after pullback to Kijun.
Lógica: higher TF bullish trend; lower TF catches resumption from Kijun or cloud top support.

Scalping: TK cross on 5m

Long: ichimoku_tenkan_kijun cross up on 5m, conversionPeriod 9, basePeriod 26.
Filtro: on 15m price gt Kumo bottom (min currentSpan) - avoid shorting structure inside bearish cloud.
Frequent signals; higher-TF or nube alcista filter required.

Swing: Kumo breakout on 4h

Long: ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up on 4h, parameters 9/26/52/26, check at close.
Short: ichimoku_kumo_breakout_down on 4h.
Rare but meaningful signals - suited for swing bots with wide stops and DCA.

Short: bearish cloud + breakdown

Short: ichimoku_cloud_color cross down on 1h AND ichimoku_kumo_breakout_down on 15m.
Alternative: Tenkan cross down Kijun on 15m AND price lt Kumo bottom.
Symmetric bearish version of trend presets.

Multi-timeframe

Long: on 4h spanA gt spanB (nube alcista) AND ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up on 15m.
Short: spanA lt spanB on 4h AND kumo_breakout_down on 15m.
Global cloud context + local breakout trigger - classic Ichimoku MTF.

DCA at Kumo bottom

Long: price cross up min(currentSpanA, currentSpanB) on 1h (bounce from Kumo bottom) AND ichimoku_tenkan_kijun cross up on 15m.
Filtro: spanA gt spanB on 1h - DCA only in nube alcista on pullbacks to support.

Ichimoku + RSI

Long: ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up on 15m AND RSI cross up 40 on 15m - cloud break without extreme overbought.
Short: kumo_breakout_down AND RSI cross down 60.
RSI filters breakouts on exhausted moves.

Grupos de condiciones: ejemplo práctico

Bot with two Long scenarios:
Grupo 1: ichimoku_kumo_breakout_up on 15m AND ichimoku_cloud_color cross up on 1h - breakout with nube alcista.
Grupo 2: ichimoku_tenkan_kijun cross up on 15m AND price gt Kumo top on 4h - TK cross in global uptrend.
Groups combined with OR. Configure Short symmetrically (kumo_breakout_down, TK cross down, bearish cloud).

Consejo
Ichimoku es un sistema, not one signal: in ranges TK cross and cloud color flip often. Use Kumo breakout on a higher TF as filter for lower presets. A “thick” cloud (Span A far from Span B) is strong support/resistance; thin cloud breaks easier. Check at bar close reduces false Kumo breaks on intrabar noise. All four presets cover different trend facets - combine them rather than relying on one.
