# **Overview**
**NICHI (Nuwen’s Ichimoku)** is a next-generation Ichimoku system that merges the classical Hosoda Ichimoku with a modular adaptive-smoothing engine, enhanced Kumo logic, directional trend counters, and multi-mode bar coloring.
The indicator includes **two completely separate Ichimoku engines**:
* **Standard Ichimoku** – Traditional Donchian-based Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou A/B, and Chikou
* **Advanced Ichimoku** – Fully customizable Ichimoku using 15+ moving-average filters and enhanced logic
NICHI is designed for modern markets—especially **futures and volatile instruments** (NG, CL, ES, NQ, crypto).

# **Key Features**
## **1. Dual Ichimoku Systems**
* **Standard Mode:**
Classic Donchian Ichimoku with Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou A/B, and Chikou.
Clean, faithful implementation.
* **Advanced Mode:**
Every Ichimoku line uses a **selected smoothing filter** (EMA, KAMA, FRAMA, Hull, McGinley, etc.).
Includes directional persistence tracking, enhanced cloud logic, and adaptive bar coloring.
---
## **2. Advanced Filter Engine (15+ Smooth Types)**
Use any of the following for Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou B, or Chikou:
* EMA
* DEMA
* SMA
* SMMA (RMA)
* WMA
* VWMA
* Hull MA
* ALMA
* LSMA (Linear Regression)
* McGinley Dynamic
* KAMA
* FRAMA
* COVWMA
* Moving Median
* 50th Percentile (Nearest Rank)
This transforms Ichimoku into an **adaptive trend system**.
---
## **3. Enhanced Cloud (Kumo) Modeling**
* Independent forward offsets for Span A & Span B
* Cloud colors adapt based on strength, direction, and filter behavior
* Cloud thickness reflects volatility
* Neutral cloud state available when spans disagree
---
## **4. Directional Persistence Counters**
NICHI tracks the **trend streak** of each main component:
* Tenkan rising/falling
* Kijun rising/falling
* Span A rising/falling
* Span B rising/falling
These counters make cloud and line colors more accurate and stable.
---
## **5. Regime-Based Bar Coloring (3 Modes)**
NICHI includes three built-in trading frameworks:
### **Mode 1: Kumo-Based**
Bar color reflects price relative to the cloud:
* Green = Above Kumo
* Red = Below Kumo
* Orange = Inside Kumo
Ideal for **trend-following** and **market regime detection**.
---
### **Mode 2: Tenkan/Kijun-Based**
Bar color reflects momentum structure:
* Green = Price above both Tenkan & Kijun
* Red = Price below both
Designed for **momentum entries and TK breakouts**.
---
### **Mode 3: Chikou-Based**
Bars reflect historical confirmation:
* Green = Chikou > price (offset period)
* Red = Chikou < price
Excellent for **confirmation-first strategies** where accuracy matters most.
---
## **6. Multi-MA Overlay System**
Up to **four optional moving averages**:
* SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA
* Independent lengths, widths, colors
* Useful for bias, confluence, trend filters
Default: **SMA 200** enabled.
---
## **7. TK Cross Signals**
Both systems show TK crosses:
* Standard TK Cross (classic)
* Advanced TK Cross (filtered version)
Crosses appear with clear markers for entry/exit logic.

# **How to Use NICHI**
## **1. Choose Your Engine**
* **Standard:** Clean, classic Ichimoku
* **Advanced:** Adaptive, filter-driven Ichimoku
* **Both:** Comparative analysis
---
## **2. Select Your Filter Type (Advanced Mode)**
Suggested filters:
| Market | Filter Type | Notes |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| Natural Gas (NG) | KAMA or FRAMA | Handles extreme volatility |
| Crude Oil (CL) | McGinley Dynamic | Smooths spikes |
| ES / NQ | SMMA or WMA | Balanced response |
| Crypto | Hull or ALMA | Handles momentum bursts |
| FX | EMA or SMMA | Classic, stable |
---
## **3. Choose a Bar-Color Strategy**
* **Kumo-Based:** Trend following
* **TK-Based:** Momentum and breakouts
* **Chikou-Based:** Highest confirmation/accuracy
Each strategy is valid and intentionally distinct.
---
## **4. Reading the Cloud**
* **Bullish Cloud:** Span A > Span B
* **Bearish Cloud:** Span A < Span B
* **Neutral Cloud:** Disagreement between spans
* **Thick Cloud:** High volatility / stronger structure
* **Thin Cloud:** Weak trend / potential twist
---
## **5. Entry & Exit Concepts**
### **Entries**
* **Momentum Entry:** TK cross with price above the cloud
* **Reversal Entry:** TK cross before a cloud twist
* **Confirmation Entry:** Chikou breaks cleanly above/below past price
### **Exits**
* Price falling through Kijun
* Re-entering the cloud
* Opposite TK cross
* Cloud flipping against position
---
# **Recommended Trading Approaches**
## **Kumo-Based Trend Strategy**
* Long above cloud, short below
* Avoid signals inside cloud
Best for swing/position trading.
---
## **TK-Based Momentum Strategy**
* Enter on Tenkan/Kijun breakout
* Bar color confirms momentum
* Cloud filter optional but helps
Great for high-velocity markets.
---
## **Chikou-Based Confirmation Strategy**
* Enter only when Chikou confirms structure
* Highest accuracy, fewest trades
* Ideal for volatile markets (NG, CL)
---
# **Closing Notes**
NICHI is a **research-grade Ichimoku framework** designed to handle modern volatility where traditional Ichimoku often fails.
It supports scalpers, swing traders, and system developers alike.
Experiment with:
* Filter types
* Cloud offsets
* Bar-color modes
* MA overlays
to match your strategy and market.
Ichimouku
Kijun-sen Colored [aamonkey]I isolated the Kijun-sen from the Ichimoku Cloud and colored it.
You can do major damage by just entering when the price closes above the Kijun-sen and sell when it is the other way around.
Add some other confirmation indicators to filter some false breakouts and you are good to go.
CM_Enhanced_Ichimoku Cloud-V5.3This is the same continuation of CM ichimoku you can find around, fixed little issues here and there, specially removed the check marks from input section (when you give access to styles no need for that), made the cloud color logic much simpler than what I found in 5.2 (seriously), changed the numbers to better fit my renko based system, and finally, the most important part, added an input section so now the users can choose ANY indicator/oscillator as input for ichi IF they want to (in the picture above you can see it working on my volume candle at the same time)
