Ichimoku: Tenkan/Kijun cross with the cloud

Classic / trend · Timeframe: H1 / H4 / Daily · Sessions: Any

Cross of Ichimoku's fast and slow lines with price above (or below) the cloud.

How it works

Ichimoku combines trend, support and momentum. The classic signal is the Tenkan (9) crossing above the Kijun (26) with price above the cloud (Kumo): a confirmed uptrend. The Kijun acts as support and as the stop reference.

Step-by-step rules

1. Price above the cloud (buys) or below it (sells).
2. Tenkan crosses Kijun in that direction.
3. Entry at the close; stop below the Kijun.
4. 2R target.

How Marketalyx tests it

Detector (H1): Tenkan/Kijun cross with price outside the cloud in that direction; stop at the Kijun ± 0.2 ATR; 2R target.
