- Trend
- On price
- Advanced
Marks a close back across the Kijun-sen when price is already on the trend side of a coloured Ichimoku cloud. The cloud sets direction and the Kijun cross sets the timing.
The rules
HIGHER marker
The cloud is green (Span A above Span B), the close is above the cloud, and the close crosses back above the Kijun-sen after the previous close was at or below it.
LOWER marker
The cloud is red (Span A below Span B), the close is below the cloud, and the close crosses back below the Kijun-sen after the previous close was at or above it.
A marker appears after the next candle opens and is drawn on the candle that completed the setup. It is a chart observation, not an instruction to trade.
How to read it
The shaded area is the cloud: green when Span A is above Span B, red otherwise. The blue line is the Tenkan-sen and the orange line is the Kijun-sen. A green HIGHER triangle under a candle means price is above a green cloud and just closed back above the Kijun-sen; a red LOWER triangle above a candle is the mirror case below a red cloud.
Indicators used
- Ichimoku Cloud (9, 26, 52, displacement 26)
Same view with built-in indicators: Add IQ Option's Ichimoku Clouds with Tenkan 9, Kijun 26 and Senkou Span B 52.
Default settings
| Tenkan period | 9 |

| Kijun period | 26 |
| Senkou Span B period | 52 |
| Cloud displacement | 26 |
Every value is an input in the script settings. Platform advice is off by default.
Key points
- Ichimoku looks complicated, but this setup uses only the cloud and the Kijun-sen.
- A green cloud means Span A is above Span B. We want price above the whole cloud.
- The Kijun-sen is the 26-candle midpoint. A pullback below it and a close back above it is our timing event.
- All three together are marked HIGHER.
- A red cloud, price below it, and a close back below the Kijun-sen are marked LOWER.
- The cloud is shifted forward by 26 candles, as on the native indicator. Test it on the Practice balance.
Limitations. The cloud and Kijun-sen are built from long windows, so they react late and need about 78 candles of history. In sideways markets price keeps crossing the Kijun-sen without leaving the cloud, so markers only appear when price is clearly outside it. Test on the Practice balance before risking real funds.

-- Ichimoku Cloud (9, 26, 52, displacement 26; formulas from the official
-- Quadcode script). The cloud colour gives the trend (Span A above Span B is
-- green), price outside the cloud confirms it, and a close back across the
-- Kijun-sen gives the timing.
--
-- HIGHER: green cloud (Span A above Span B), close above the cloud, and a
-- close back above the Kijun-sen after the previous close was at or
-- below it.
-- LOWER: red cloud (Span A below Span B), close below the cloud, and a
-- close back below the Kijun-sen after the previous close was at or
-- above it.
--
-- Markers use the previous completed candle: they appear after the next candle
-- opens and are shifted back one bar onto the candle that qualified.
-- Educational chart tool only. It does not place trades, choose an expiry,
-- predict outcomes, or guarantee results. Test on a Practice balance first.
