Whether you’re new to TradingView or have experience, these settings are designed to make the tool effective for various trading strategies.

1. Introduction to Machine Learning

Machine learning in this indicator helps the tool respond to market data more accurately by emphasizing recent price movements. By using data-weighting techniques, machine learning can enhance predictions, making the indicator more suitable for traders who want a precise response to recent trends in the market.

2. Understanding Kernels for Market Analysis

Kernels in this indicator refer to techniques that influence how historical data is interpreted to identify trends. Adjusting these options can help the indicator be either more sensitive to recent price shifts or more stable over long-term trends.

Activating Machine Learning

Purpose: Enabling machine learning allows the indicator to use advanced data-analysis methods. When active, the indicator interprets data in a way that emphasizes recent market behavior.

The Lookback Period

Purpose: The lookback period defines how far back the indicator should examine past data. A wider lookback gives a broad view of trends, while a shorter one makes the indicator react quickly to recent changes.

Tip: For a balanced approach, use a medium lookback. Shorter lookbacks are better for spotting rapid market changes, while longer periods suit stable market conditions.

3. Kernel Types in Market Analysis

This indicator uses different kernel types to analyze and weigh data. Each kernel has a unique approach, which can help in different market conditions:

  • Gaussian Kernel: Helps recognize gradual trends by smoothing data over a distribution.
  • Laplacian Kernel: Useful in volatile markets, it highlights sharp changes in price.
  • RBF Kernel: A powerful tool for finding support and resistance by applying exponential data decay.
  • Wavelet Kernel: Ideal for identifying cyclic patterns in price data.

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo – Overview

This advanced version of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator offers flexible customization options, making it ideal for various market conditions. By incorporating dynamic lengths, WMA smoothing, and Machine Learning, this Ichimoku version adapts to volatility, allowing traders to refine their strategies effectively.

How to Use This Version of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo

This indicator’s flexibility makes it suitable for traders aiming for both short-term and long-term trend analysis. Each setting allows customization based on your trading style. For example:

  • Dynamic Length Adjustments: Activate this for markets with high volatility, as it helps the indicator respond quickly to price changes, capturing trends without the lag found in static Ichimoku settings.
  • WMA Smoothing: Use smoothing to reduce noise when trading in choppy markets. It helps to visualize long-term trends by reducing the impact of minor fluctuations, giving a cleaner trend line.
  • Machine Learning Integration: Enable Machine Learning for a data-sensitive approach to trend detection. This option is particularly beneficial for fast-moving markets where timely signals are crucial.

1. General Settings

The general settings allow you to customize the visual presentation and data source of the Ichimoku indicator.

  • Display Ichimoku: Toggle this setting to control Ichimoku’s visibility on the chart. For instance, if you are using multiple indicators, turning Ichimoku on/off can help declutter the view and focus on certain signals.
  • Enable Kumo Cloud Fill: The cloud fill visually highlights support and resistance zones. Use it to identify where price is likely to encounter barriers. In trend-following strategies, if the price remains above the cloud, it may signal ongoing bullish momentum; below the cloud, a bearish trend.
  • Source Options: Switch between Close Price or Heikin-Ashi Close based on your preference. Heikin-Ashi smoothing reduces noise, ideal for volatile markets, while Close Price provides standard market readings for sharper signals.

2. Tenkan-Sen (Conversion Line)

The Tenkan-Sen provides a short-term trend view. By dynamically adjusting its length, you can make it highly reactive or more stable.

  • Minimum Length: Lower values (e.g., 7 or 9) increase Tenkan-Sen’s sensitivity, making it ideal for fast-moving markets where short-term trend changes are important.
  • Maximum Length: Higher values (e.g., 21 or 30) make Tenkan-Sen less reactive to minor fluctuations, which is beneficial in trending markets where you want to avoid frequent signals.
  • Dynamic Adjustment: Activate this in volatile markets to adapt the Tenkan-Sen length automatically. For instance, if volatility increases, the Tenkan-Sen becomes shorter, capturing more rapid trend changes.
  • Machine Learning: Use Machine Learning for a Gaussian Kernel model that reacts to recent data, ideal for short-term trend followers who need precision in trending markets.

3. Kijun-Sen (Base Line)

The Kijun-Sen reflects medium-term trends and confirms trend direction when paired with Tenkan-Sen.

  • Minimum Length: Set a lower value (e.g., 13) for markets where medium-term trends shift quickly. This makes Kijun-Sen more reactive.
  • Maximum Length: For stable markets, set a higher value (e.g., 50) to increase Kijun-Sen stability, filtering out noise and highlighting established trends.
  • Dynamic Adjustment: Allows Kijun-Sen to react to sudden changes in volatility, useful when medium-term market sentiment changes unexpectedly.
  • Kijun Divider: This divider fine-tunes sensitivity. For example, set a divider of 2 for a slower response, useful in longer-term strategies where overreacting to minor movements can be misleading.
  • Machine Learning: Ideal for traders looking for more precision, Machine Learning with Gaussian Kernel adapts Kijun-Sen to current trends, making it reliable in volatile environments.

4. Senkou Span (Cloud)

The Senkou Span projects future support and resistance zones with a cloud (Kumo). Both Span A and Span B offer unique adjustments to reflect varying market conditions.

  • Minimum Span Length: Setting a lower length (e.g., 17) makes the cloud more responsive to recent trends, which is useful in volatile markets where trend shifts are frequent.
  • Maximum Span Length: A higher value (e.g., 52) stabilizes the cloud, making it better suited for analyzing long-term trends and filtering noise.
  • Dynamic Length Adjustment: Enabling this allows both spans to adjust automatically in response to volatility. This is useful in highly fluctuating markets where fixed spans may not capture rapid trend changes.
  • Projection Offset: This setting shifts the cloud forward. Set a higher offset (e.g., 30) for long-term forecasting, identifying support/resistance levels ahead of time, especially useful in slower markets.
  • Machine Learning: Machine Learning applies Gaussian Kernel models to the cloud, making the support/resistance levels more precise in reflecting the latest price movements.

5. Chikou Span (Lagging Line)

The Chikou Span allows traders to see if current prices align with past market activity, often used to confirm trends.

  • Minimum Length: A lower length (e.g., 20) places the Chikou Span closer to current price action, useful for shorter-term strategies where historical alignment matters.
  • Dynamic Adjustment: Use dynamic adjustment to let the Chikou Span adapt in high volatility. For example, as volatility increases, the span shortens, providing a clearer view of recent trends.
  • Machine Learning: This line does not use Machine Learning, making it a direct representation of past prices. This simplicity helps in traditional Ichimoku strategies focused on price alignment.

6. WMA Smoothing

WMA (Weighted Moving Average) Smoothing applies a weight to recent prices, stabilizing Ichimoku components in choppy markets.

  • WMA Smoothing Factor: For example, use a higher smoothing factor (e.g., 3 or 4) in highly volatile markets to reduce noise. This helps maintain a steady view of the trend without frequent recalculations.
  • Effect: Smoothing makes each line less sensitive to abrupt changes. For instance, in a ranging market, smoothing can provide a clearer long-term trend without being distracted by minor fluctuations.

7. Coloring Options

These colors offer visual cues based on the Ichimoku trend phases.

  • Bear Phase Color: For bearish phases, use a darker color for the Chikou Span to signal a strong downtrend visually.
  • Bull Phase Color: Bright colors for the bullish Chikou Span indicate an uptrend, making it easily recognizable.
  • Consolidation Color: Use a neutral color like gray for consolidating phases, highlighting indecision or a lack of clear trend.
  • Senkou Span Bear Color: Apply this color to bearish cloud zones to easily spot when prices are trading below support levels.
  • Senkou Span Bull Color: This color shows up for bullish areas within the cloud, useful in markets showing strong upward momentum.
Conclusion and Example Strategy

This advanced Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator provides a comprehensive approach to trend-following and dynamic support/resistance identification. By using dynamic settings, Machine Learning integration, and WMA smoothing, traders can tailor the indicator to suit specific market conditions. Below is an example strategy demonstrating how to use this indicator effectively, both with and without Machine Learning enabled.

Example Strategy: Trend-Following with Dynamic Support/Resistance

Goal: To identify and follow strong market trends, using the dynamic Kumo cloud as a trailing support/resistance level.

Strategy Steps:
  1. Entry Signal: Look for price to break above the cloud (Kumo), with the Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen lines crossing upwards.
    • With Machine Learning: Enable Machine Learning for both Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen. This setting uses Gaussian Kernel, making the lines more sensitive to recent data points. This configuration is particularly helpful in fast-moving markets where quick trend confirmation is critical.
    • Without Machine Learning: Set Tenkan-Sen to a minimum length of 9-13 for high reactivity to early trend changes. For Kijun-Sen, use the Kijun Divider set to 2, creating a smoother mid-term signal, which reduces the risk of false entries in slower markets.
  2. Trend Confirmation: Verify that the Chikou Span (lagging line) remains above the current price level, indicating sustained momentum.
    • With Machine Learning: Machine Learning is not applied to Chikou Span, as it reflects historical prices. In this setup, Chikou Span’s position relative to current price gives a clear confirmation of trend direction.
    • Without Machine Learning: Use the Chikou Span as a pure historical check without additional filters. It can serve as a confirmation that the current breakout is not a false signal, providing reassurance that the uptrend is stable.
  3. WMA Smoothing: Apply WMA smoothing with a factor of 3 to all Ichimoku lines. Smoothing is especially useful in choppy markets to maintain a clear view of the trend and avoid frequent recalculations.
    • With Machine Learning: Smoothing complements Machine Learning by reducing minor fluctuations, providing a cleaner signal even with the higher sensitivity from the Gaussian Kernel.
    • Without Machine Learning: Smoothing helps stabilize signals in non-volatile markets by reducing minor fluctuations, making it easier to stay in a trend without reacting to every small movement.
  4. Exit Signal: Use the cloud as a trailing stop. Close the position if the price re-enters the cloud or if the Tenkan-Sen crosses below the Kijun-Sen, indicating a potential trend reversal.
    • With Machine Learning: Machine Learning on Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen will quickly signal reversals, allowing a more rapid exit in volatile markets.
    • Without Machine Learning: Rely on the standard Tenkan-Kijun cross and cloud boundaries for exit signals. This approach is less sensitive to small changes and can be more effective in stable, long-term trending markets.
Additional Tips:
  • Volatile Markets: Enable dynamic length adjustments for Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen. This setting will adjust line sensitivity based on market conditions, improving signal accuracy during high volatility.
  • Switching Between Machine Learning: Test the strategy with and without Machine Learning on demo accounts to identify which configuration best aligns with your preferred market conditions and timeframe.

This strategy showcases the flexibility of this Ichimoku configuration. Using Machine Learning for enhanced sensitivity is ideal for short-term traders, while a traditional approach without Machine Learning provides a steadier view for long-term analysis.

  1. Review Dashboard Indicators: Analyze each indicator’s status within the dashboard to assess overall market conditions.
    • Ichimoku Signals: Pay attention to Kumo Breakouts or Twists as potential entry points based on trend direction.
    • Linear Regression Projection: Use high Pearson R values to confirm trend direction and strength, adapting your strategy accordingly.
    • MACD: Follow MACD trend status for momentum confirmation before making entries or exits.
    • RSI and StochRSI: Monitor RSI levels for overbought or oversold conditions to time entries or exits.
  2. Set Alerts for Key Shifts: Configure alerts for significant shifts in trend or sentiment indicators to respond promptly to market changes.
  3. Consolidate and Adjust Positions: Use the dashboard’s consolidated view to evaluate your portfolio’s exposure and adjust based on market trends and sentiment.
Additional Tips:
  • Adapt to Market Volatility: During high volatility, use shorter timeframes and more reactive indicators, while in low volatility, focus on longer trends.
  • Check for Divergence: Look for divergence between price movement and indicator trends, signaling potential reversals.
  • Risk Management: Always employ risk management strategies alongside dashboard analysis, particularly during major market shifts.
