Ichimoku Cloud Crosses_AIT

How it works

The Ichimoku Cloud Crosses indicator utilizes two key moving lines: the Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun-sen (Base Line). These lines are calculated by finding the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over specific periods, with default settings of 21 and 120 periods respectively.

When the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen, a yellow triangle appears below the price bar, signaling a potential long entry. Conversely, when the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen, a fuchsia triangle appears above the price bar, indicating a potential short entry.
