Ichimoku Cloud — the All-in-One System, Simply

Ichimoku is five lines that answer four questions at a glance: trend, momentum, support/resistance and timing.

Level by level

Beginner

The shortcut: price above a green cloud = uptrend; below a red cloud = downtrend; inside the cloud = no man's land, stand aside.

Intermediate

Tenkan/Kijun crosses time entries WITH the cloud's bias; the cloud ahead of price projects future S/R zones.

Advanced

The Chikou span (lagging line) is the forgotten filter — clear Chikou = clean signal. Ichimoku excels on higher timeframes; on 1-minute charts it's noise soup.
