What is the Ichimoku Cloud API?
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system provides trend direction, momentum, and support/resistance all in one visual. The kumo (cloud) formed by Senkou Span A and B acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone. Tenkan-sen and kijun-sen crossovers (TK cross) signal momentum shifts. Our API exposes Ichimoku_tenkan, Ichimoku_kijun, and Ichimoku_senkou_a as individual REST endpoints — pre-calculated from live broker data. No 52-period lookback calculation needed on your end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Ichimoku lines are available?
Currently Ichimoku_tenkan (tenkan-sen, 9-period), Ichimoku_kijun (kijun-sen, 26-period), and Ichimoku_senkou_a (Senkou Span A, the average of the two forwarded 26 periods). These cover the three most traded signals: TK cross, kijun bounce, and cloud breakout.
Does the API handle the 26-period forward shift for Senkou Span A?
The API returns the current Senkou Span A value as plotted on the live chart — the forward-shifted cloud boundary at the current price bar. This matches what you'd see in the trading platform.
Is Ichimoku better on H4 or D1?
Ichimoku was originally designed for daily charts. H4 is widely used by Forex swing traders. Both timeframes are available — H1 and below will produce noisier signals. Start with H4 for the most reliable Ichimoku readings.
Can I detect a kumo breakout via the API?
Yes — compare the ohlc.close value from the response with Ichimoku_senkou_a. If price is above Senkou A (and Senkou A is above Senkou B, which you can infer from the signal field), price is above the cloud — a bullish context in classical Ichimoku analysis.
