Ichimoku Gold Indicator

Ichimoku is a Japanese charting technique that was developed before by a Japanese newspaper writer, with the pen name of Ichimoku Sanjin.

  • Ichimoku means "a glance" or "one look"
  • Kinko means "equilibrium" or "balance"
  • Hyo is the Japanese word for "chart"

Thus, Ichimoku means, "a glance at an equilibrium chart". Ichimoku attempts to identify the likely direction of xauusd price and help the gold trader to determine the most suitable time to enter or exit the xauusd market.

  • If xauusd price is below the Kumo, the prevailing market gold trend is said to be downwards.

The Chikou Span or Lagging Span is also used to determine the strength of the buy or sell gold signal.

  • If the Chikou Span is below the closing xauusd price of the last 26 periods ago and a sell short signal is given, then the strength of the gold trend is downwards, otherwise the signal is considered to be a weak sell gold signal.
  • If there is a bullish signal and the Chikou Span is above the xauusd price of the last 26 periods ago, then the strength of the gold trend is to the upside, otherwise it is considered to be a weak buy gold signal.
