Not sure how many people on here use the Ichimoku indicator, but I thought I share this list just in case. Here are a few different Ichimoku scanners for ThinkorSwim.

Ichimoku Cloud Scan by Linus

Code: 
# Ichimoku cloud scan

input nTe = 9;  # Tenkan length
input nKi = 26; # Kijun length
input nSp = 52; # SpanB length
def Tenkan = (Highest(high, nTe) + Lowest(low, nTe)) / 2;
def Kijun = (Highest(high, nKi) + Lowest(low, nKi)) / 2;
def SpanA = (Tenkan[nKi] + Kijun[nKi]) / 2;
def SpanB = (Highest(high[nKi], nSp) + Lowest(low[nKi], nSp)) / 2;

# The cloud is made up of SpanA and SpanB, so use Max and Min to scan above and below the cloud.  Only one plot can be active in the scan, so comment out the plot not being used with #.

#plot IsAboveCloud = low > Max(SpanA, SpanB);
plot IsBelowCloud = high < Min(SpanA, SpanB);

Do these scans work for anyone?
 
Here is an "over or under" Cloud that Pete Hahn posted in his forum that I find useful. It would be great if someone could add an inside the cloud status.

Don't look at me. I don't code and have no intentions of learning now. :)

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


Code: 
# Ichimoku Long and Short entry signals based on Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE_SAzserLE
# By arv06

# For Long Entry - Tenkan should be above Kijun, Chikou should be above the cloud, price should be above the cloud and cloud in front of 26 candles should be green (bullish)

# For Short Entry - Tenkan should be below Kijun, Chikou should be below the cloud, price should be below the cloud and cloud in front of 26 candles should be red (bearish)

I've had really trouble with the indicators giving false signals. I'm not sure if im the only one. I'd really just want an indicator that looks at the cloud top broken by candles. I like to look at different timeframes but I often do scalp 5minutes.
 
Hello, I'm looking for a ichimoku kumo cloud break screener for various time frames to keep an eye on the market. I tried the one shared earlier but It doesnt work properly.

Hi Ben, How do you read these in terms of bullish vs. bearish?

Code: 
# Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun an early exit warning study_StanL
#the preferred version is version 2 because the arrows accurately show the START of a HA dowtrend
#Now version 2.1

#hint:This is a Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun an early exit warning study that plots the difference between the tenkan and kijun in histogram format. A YELLOW down warning arrow plots when a Heikin Ashi downtrend starts.
#Background:The difference of the Tenkan and the Kijun indicate the strength of this bullish signal as shown by the histogram above zero values. When this strength difference weakens a downward trend may(often?) start. Heikin Ashi candles are adept at showing trend development. The plotted YELLOW arrows are points to consider exiting even though the entity may be in buillsh territory(i.e. above the cloud). In summary, this is an early warning signal that is productive and calls your attention to it to consider exiting.
#USAGE:When YELLOW down arrows are present, watch the Heikin Ashi style candles to see the extent of the downtrend.(Configure your Heikin Ashi for 'Red Fill' when down. The DMI_Oscillator, MACD and ADX are good complementary studies
#SUMMARY: The histograqm shows  the change in strength of the bullish T/K signal while the YELLOW arrows call your attention to a possible start of a downtrend.

Hi All! Is there a way to have the arrows plotted directly on the chart without the histogram and having it as a lower indicator? Would prefer the arrows directly over/underneath the candles.

Any help is appreciated!
 
Hey all! Hoping everyone is doing well!

Looking for a little help consolidating two indicators I came across here:

First, Mobius's Adaptation of Ichimoku Strategy (post 11) while a fantastic indicator, lags a bit too much for my style:

# Adaptation of Ichimoku Strategy
# Mobius
# Revised Tenkan and Kijun
# V01.12.2013

input nA = 3;
input nB = 8;

#math
def Tenkan = (Highest(high, nA) + Lowest(low, nA)) / 2;
def Kijun = (Highest(high, nB) + Lowest(low, nB)) / 2;
def "Span A" = (Tenkan[nA] + Kijun[nA]) / 2;
def "Span B" = (Highest(high[nA], nB) + Lowest(low[nA], nB)) / 2;

plot Chikou = Inertia(close[-nA], nB);

# Color Config
#"Span A".SetDefaultColor(Color.PLUM);
#"Span B".SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
Chikou.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.YELLOW);
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.RED);

#AddCloud("Span A", "Span B", GlobalColor("Bullish"), GlobalColor("Bearish"));
##Arrows on Chikou Crossover
# changed from crosses above to >
plot ArrowUp = Chikou crosses above Max("Span A", "Span B");
ArrowUp.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
ArrowUp.SetLineWeight(1);
ArrowUp.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);

# changed from crosses below to <
plot ArrowDn = Chikou crosses below Min("Span A", "Span B");
ArrowDn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
ArrowDn.SetLineWeight(1);
ArrowDn.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);

However, the Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun an early exit warning study_StanL captures it in real time and allows me to take a decision much sooner than Mobiu's adaptation:

# Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun an early exit warning study_StanL
#the preferred version is version 2 because the arrows accurately show the START of a HA dowtrend
#Now version 2.1

#hint:This is a Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun an early exit warning study that plots the difference between the tenkan and kijun in histogram format. A YELLOW down warning arrow plots when a Heikin Ashi downtrend starts.
#Background:The difference of the Tenkan and the Kijun indicate the strength of this bullish signal as shown by the histogram above zero values. When this strength difference weakens a downward trend may(often?) start. Heikin Ashi candles are adept at showing trend development. The plotted YELLOW arrows are points to consider exiting even though the entity may be in buillsh territory(i.e. above the cloud). In summary, this is an early warning signal that is productive and calls your attention to it to consider exiting.
#USAGE:When YELLOW down arrows are present, watch the Heikin Ashi style candles to see the extent of the downtrend.(Configure your Heikin Ashi for 'Red Fill' when down. The DMI_Oscillator, MACD and ADX are good complementary studies

My request is, how would I go about replacing the ARROWUP and ARROWDN plots in Mobius's Adaptation with the ARROWUP & ARROWDN plots in the Early Exit Warning Study such that it plots directly on the chart (not as a lower indicator)? I've been banging my head on my desk all weekend trying to figure it out.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!!!!

Here is an "over or under" Cloud that Pete Hahn posted in his forum that I find useful. It would be great if someone could add an inside the cloud status.

Don't look at me. I don't code and have no intentions of learning now. :)

How can I make it over or under price for chikou span instead of over and under cloud for chikou span

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


Code: 
# Ichimoku Long and Short entry signals based on Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE_SAzserLE
# By arv06

# For Long Entry - Tenkan should be above Kijun, Chikou should be above the cloud, price should be above the cloud and cloud in front of 26 candles should be green (bullish)

I have been using this strategy for a bit and would like to know if there is a way to make a scanner for it? It would make life a little bit easier lol

I have looked into this and can't get chikou to return a value really strange. Chikou is nothing more then price 26 candles back. So I would look for a comparison price 26 candles back to Chikou. I can get price 26 candles back but nothing for Chikou. It shows N/A in my Label.
It would be a more textbook approach for sure.

Hello. I found these 2 scans in a thread from back in 2019 but they actually date back to 2015 and 2014. What caught my attention was what they were named - exactly what I was looking for, candles above the cloud.

When I load them I get a error or I am unable to run them. Can anyone help me with editing them so they can run?

Thanks in advance!!!!
