- Used API Functions Maximum & Minimum https://ctrader.com/api/reference/functions instead of the FOR-loops to get Market Series High & Low. Should result in much fewer calculations by this indicator
I have used Kijun-Sen as a baseline for different trading strategies.
I have simply just combined 3 Kijun-Sen lines and added optional moving average smoothing (MA period 0 will void smoothing).
Original Kijun-Sen line uses 26 periods, I have chosen Fibonacci sequence numbers for the default periods.
Idea is to use Kijun-Sen lines a little bit like normal MAs combined with Ichimoku Cloud idea. Meaning that when lines are close to each other the resistance/support is stronger than when they are far from each other (dense cloud vs. scattered cloud). e.g price crossing together closely coiled lines can be thought of as more valid breakout than if lines are scattered far apart. Price inside lines/cloud => no-mans-land.
Let me know if you find new ideas about how to use this indicator.
What is the Kijun-Sen (Japanese for Reference / Baseline)?
The Kijun-sen is an indicator and important component of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo method of technical analysis, which is also known as the Ichimoku cloud.
The original Kijun-sen is the midpoint price of the last 26-periods, and therefore an indicator of short- to medium-term price momentum. The indicator aids in assessing the trend, and can also be useful for identifying trading opportunities when combined with the other components of the Ichimoku cloud.
How to Calculate the original Kijun Line (Base Line)
- Find the highest price over the last determined periods.
- Find the lowest price over the last determined periods.
- Combine the high and low, then divide by two.
- Update the calculation after each period ends.
