Yes, this is the Huat-indicator that market is quiet.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

Note that the ChartNexus IKH lacks the trailing Chikou Span (price action shifted back 26 periods). This is a crucial indicator for confirmations, so ChartNexus kinda' dropped the ball here. I've written to them to ask them about putting that in. Until then, for confirmation, you'll have to take the current price, and project it back 26 periods to see its relative position to the price back then. Also, ChartNexus doesn't use different colour codes for the kumo clouds (depends on whether Senkou Span A or B is on top, the cloud colour should be different, to show the bullish / bearish sentiments). Again, I've written to them so hopefully they'll put it in.

Last but not least, ChartNexus' Kijun-sen line (the slower line) is blue, and the Tenkan-sen (faster line) line is red. This colouring system is inverted in Stockcharts, unfortunately. So if using both, you'll need to adjust mentally (reason for using both: StockCharts is complete but too small; ChartNexus size is good but lacks the Chikou line and kumo colours). Sianz. :D

GR,

if we just use the price from 26 periods back as a reference..is it accurate enough?

eg.

802, I assume you're talking about compensating for the lack of the Chikou Span in the ChartNexus platform.

If so, your counting is correct. Then you take today's closing price and compare it to that closing price. Same as this (from the kumo trader site):

Image

The Chikou Span is used mainly for confirmation of another signal, but the strategy page does list using a Chikou Span cross as a possible strategy (one of five). I've never relied solely on that though, but maybe it's something I should take a closer look at, now that you ask. :)

A bit more...

The conventional support/resistance lines are simply defined by sharp points in historical price action (i.e. Chikou Span). These tend to vary in strength; but from what I've seen, the peaks, troughs and points with multiple touches tend to be stronger.

The unconventional support/resistance lines are actually provided by so-called "kumo shadows". These are the flat regions in the kumo clouds in the past. Right now, I tend to lean toward using "kumo shadows" to mark my major SR lines.

This is a chart of S&P500 with some of the SRs added - the horizontal, red dashed lines represent SRs formed by the "kumo" shadows; the blue ones are SRs formed by the Chikou Span (historical price action).

I'm still learning new things about the Itchy Mushroom as I put it to practice (e.g. the kumo clouds, kumo shadows); so if there are experienced mushroom farmers out there, please help fertilize my brain. :D

The folks at ChartNexus have show me how to get the 'price from 26 periods back'.

1. Indicators
- Select 'Displaced Moving Average'
- Click Edit
- Change Period to 1
- Change Displacement to -26

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.
