Ichimoku For ThinkOrSwim

Does anyone has a study for ichmoku cloud where it can notify us when k line crosses above or under t line in 4 hr time frame ?
Or can someone help me set it up Bcz I have no knowledge in doing this

Hi

New to ToS, I have never written a script. I use the Ichimoku in my trading. In ToS the default Ichimoku has solid colors for the Senkou Span A & B. I have looked but can see where I may change that. I prefer the cloud to be vertical dashed lines, I find it easier to see that candles that way. Is there a way to achieve that in the ToS default Ichimoku?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Coinn

Thank you rad14733, that is disappointing

Adjusting the opacity, as @rad14733 mentioned, to a lower value should make the candles show through the cloud better. And you can create a copy of the study and change the cloud colors, as mentioned earlier in this thread. Changing the cloud to colors dissimilar from your candles, like dark gray, may help.

Hi, just an fyi... I found if you scroll all the way down, the GLOBALS settings can be manually changed. Click the down arrow next to Globals to see the settings. Hope this helps!
 
Hello everyone, I have modified the Ichimoku cloud to provide long and short entry signals based on the YouTube video
. I back tested few and seems to be working, there are some instances where it provides false signals, I will look into eliminating them. If anyone wants to check it out, here is the code

Thank you!

Try TOS indicator "HeikinAshiDiff" this one is good also.

I tried to make a scan for price above cloud and lagging line breaking cloud also, but not seeing results.
what is wrong with it?

close from 1 bars ago crosses Ichimoku()."Span A" and close from 1 bars ago crosses Ichimoku()."Span B" and Ichimoku()."Chikou" from 1 bars ago crosses above Ichimoku()."Span A" and Ichimoku()."Chikou" from 1 bars ago crosses above Ichimoku()."Span B"
 
@pegasis yes, scanners exists. But from reading through the thread, Ichimoku scanner scripts have been problematic for quite a while.

You can certainly try the shared links and see if you have different results than the posters in this thread.
You can try TOS support to find out why Ichimoku scanners are a problem.

Anyone able to figure out how to create a scanner to scan the symbols that cross the cross. I have been trying with SPA A and SPAN B of the scripts provided in this forum , but could not not able to get desired results. Thanks.
 
Dear everyone,
How do I write the scan when the Lagging span is crossing above or below the cloud? I'm trying to check in both Thinkorswim or Tradingview.
Can you pls. help with this requirement? Tried to refer the Ben's original post , couldn't get it.
 
If I copy the ichimoku script and make a new script, it doesn't automatically expand the chart to the right.
I know I can go on settings and change that but is there any thing to put in the script to have it done automatically

Thanks
