This indicator transforms the classic components of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo into a multi-layered momentum oscillator. Rather than reading the components against the price, this tool aggregates the strength of the Tenkan, the Kijun and the Cloud (Kumo) into a single window to identify the strength and quality of a trend.

Key features:

• The 4-Layer Oscillator: The indicator calculates four superimposed data levels that represent the health of the market:

1. Oscline: Price position relative to the cloud boundaries.
2. Lagging: Incorporates the momentum of the Chikou Span (price memory).
3. ConvBase: Adds the interaction between the Tenkan (Conversion) and the Kijun (Base).
4. Cloud Layer: The final layer including the thickness and direction of the cloud (Span A/B).

• Trend Strength Analysis (Trend Score): The indicator does not merely follow the price; it assigns a score of 1 to 4 (positive or negative) based on the convergence of Ichimoku signals.
• A score of 4 means that all elements (Price, Tenkan/Kijun, Cloud, Lagging) are aligned in an upward trend.
• A score of -4 indicates a complete bearish alignment.
• Protection against ‘Whipsaws’ (ATR): The indicator uses the ATR (Average True Range) to create a tolerance zone around the Kijun-sen. This helps to avoid false exit signals during minor market corrections or periods of market noise.
• Integrated Visual Signals:
• Background Colouring: The chart turns green or blue depending on whether buying or selling pressure is dominant.
• Signal Arrows: A white (buy) or yellow (sell) arrow appears on the zero line when the trend score reaches its peak (level 4), signalling a high-probability entry.

Why use it?

It is the ideal tool for traders who like Ichimoku but wish to streamline their price chart. It allows you to quickly detect whether a trend is running out of steam or, conversely, whether all the technical indicators point to a major acceleration.

Technical note: The parameters are set by default to optimised cycles (8, 13, 26) with a 13-period lag for increased responsiveness compared to standard settings.
