The Ichimoku Cloud is a comprehensive indicator that provides a clear view of market states through five key components. By analyzing the interaction between these components and the asset's price, traders can gain insights into trend direction, momentum, and potential reversals. Introducing the Ichimoku Score System I have developed a scoring system that quantifies these interactions, offering an objective method to evaluate market conditions. The score is calculated based on the relative positioning of Ichimoku components, with adjustable weightings via user input. Scoring Criteria Each component contributes to the overall score as follows: Price vs. Cloud (Kumo) & Other Components
Price vs. Kumo → 2 Points
Price vs. Kumo Shadow → 0.5 Points
Tenkan vs. Kijun
Tenkan vs. Kijun → 2 Points
Tenkan vs. Kumo → 0.5 Points
Kijun vs. Kumo → 0.5 Points
Tenkan Slope → 0.5 Points
Kijun Slope → 0.5 Points
Chikou Span Interactions
Price vs. Chikou → 2 Points
Chikou vs. Kumo → 0.5 Points
Chikou Consolidation → 0.5 Points
Senkou Span Analysis
Senkou A vs. Senkou B → 2 Points
Senkou Slope → 0.5 Points
Price vs. Key Levels
Price vs. Tenkan → 2 Points
Price vs. Kijun → 2 Points
Interpreting the Score The aggregate score functions as an oscillator, fluctuating between a range of ±16.0.
A higher score indicates strong bullish momentum.
A lower score suggests bearish market conditions.
To enhance readability and smooth fluctuations, a 9-period SMA is applied to the score.
Application in Algorithmic Trading This scoring system helps integrate Ichimoku Cloud principles into algorithmic trading strategies by providing a structured and quantifiable method for assessing market conditions.
