The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system includes five kinds of signal, of which this site highlights the most recent of each for each ticker. The Ichimoku signals, indeed all Ichimoku elements, should never be taken in isolation, but considered in the context of the overall chart. Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is a visual technical analysis system and the charts are designed to be considered in their entirety, with regard given to the relationships between all of the elements, including the price. As such, Ichimoku is not suitable for automated or "single event" decision making. Remember that Ichimoku Kinko Hyo is a technical trend trading charting system and trends can and do change, so your readings of the charts should be probabilistic, rather than predictive. As with most technical analysis methods, Ichimoku is likely to produce frequent conflicting signals in non-trending markets. The five kinds of signal are described below. Most can be classified as strong, neutral, or weak by their proximate relationship to the Kumo (cloud), but each signal may be further strengthened, weakened, or nullified by the relationships between other elements. All signals must be considered in respect to the overall chart.

Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen CrossThe Tenkan Sen / Kijun Sen Cross signal occurs when the Tenkan Sen (Turning line) crosses the Kijun Sen (Standard line). A bullish signal occurs when the Tenkan Sen crosses from below to above the Kijun Sen
A bearish signal occurs when the Tenkan Sen crosses from above to below the Kijun Sen
Kijun Sen CrossThe Kijun Sen Cross signal occurs when the price crosses the Kijun Sen (Standard line). A bullish signal occurs when the price crosses from below to above the Kijun Sen
A bearish signal occurs when the price crosses from above to below the Kijun Sen
Kumo BreakoutThe Kumo Breakout signal occurs when the price leaves or crosses the Kumo (Cloud).
Senkou Span CrossThe Senkou Span Cross signal occurs when the Senkou Span A (1st leading line) crosses the Senkou Span B (2nd leading line). As the Senkou Spans are projected forward, the cross that triggers this signal will be 26 days ahead of the price and, hence, the actual date that the signal occurs. The strength of the signal is determined by the relationship of the price on the date of the signal (not the trigger) to the Kumo (Cloud). A bullish signal occurs when the Senkou Span A crosses from below to above the Senkou Span B
A bearish signal occurs when the Senkou Span A crosses from above to below the Senkou Span B
Chikou Span CrossThe Chikou Span Cross signal occurs when the Chikou Span (Lagging line) rises above or falls below the price. Note that the Chikou Span must be rising when it crosses to above the price for a bull signal and falling when it crosses to below for a bear signal; just crossing the price alone is not sufficient to trigger the signal. As the Chikou Span is the closing price shifted into the past, the cross that triggers this signal will be 26 days behind the price and, hence, the actual date that the signal occurs. The strength of the signal is determined by the relationship of the price on the date of the signal (not the trigger) to the Kumo (Cloud). A bullish signal occurs when the Chikou Span rises from below to above the price
A bearish signal occurs when the Chikou Span falls from above to below the price
