NIMBUS [ThrowMaster]NIMBUS — Ichimoku, Reimagined
Classic Ichimoku is brilliant at one question: "Where is the market right now — above, below, or inside equilibrium?" It is far weaker at a second question every trader actually asks: "What is the market about to do?" NIMBUS keeps the timeless Ichimoku framework intact and adds three dimensions built to close that gap — while staying, above all, honest about what it is: a context compass, not a signal service.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT NIMBUS ADDS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⭐ Kumo Calendar — Twist Countdown
Here is a fact most traders overlook: the cloud in front of price is already fully drawn. It is built entirely from bars that have ALREADY closed, then shifted forward. That means the next Kumo twist — the moment Senkou Span A and B swap places — is knowable in advance. NIMBUS scans the forward cloud and counts the exact number of bars until that twist reaches price, and warns you when a thin (weak-support) section is approaching. Ichimoku's most-criticised trait, its lag, becomes a schedule you can read ahead of time.
🩵 Breath — Volume-Reactive Cloud
A traditional cloud shows only price geometry; two identical-looking clouds can hide wildly different conviction. NIMBUS makes the cloud breathe: it grows more solid on high-participation bars and fainter on quiet ones, using a rolling volume percentile. Strength becomes something you feel at a glance, not something you have to calculate. (If a symbol reports no volume, the cloud simply falls back to a fixed opacity — no errors, no false readings.)
🎯 Tenkan / Kijun Cross Clarity
The Tenkan–Kijun cross is one of Ichimoku's core events, yet on most charts it hides in a tangle of lines. NIMBUS marks it precisely: a teal circle at the exact price and bar of a bullish cross, coral for bearish. No hunting, no guessing.
◈ Alignment Hints
When four independent Ichimoku dimensions agree — price vs cloud, Tenkan vs Kijun, cloud colour, and the lagging read — AND price reclaims or loses the cloud on a confirmed bar, NIMBUS prints a small diamond. Think of it as a puzzle-game hint: a nudge to look at the right place at the right time. It is deliberately NOT a buy or sell command, and it never gives a target.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NIMBUS uses the standard Ichimoku engine — Tenkan (9), Kijun (26), Senkou Span A/B, and the lagging span, all fully adjustable. "Price vs cloud" always compares price to the cloud value formed 25 bars ago — the cloud actually sitting beneath price — so the reading reflects real, settled structure. The Breath layer reads a 100-bar volume percentile. The Twist Countdown walks the already-shifted forward cloud bar by bar. The dashboard summarises everything in one compact, theme-aware panel with a mobile Compact Mode.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Read the cloud for trend context: above = bullish structure, below = bearish, inside = balance/chop.
• Watch the Twist Countdown to anticipate when the cloud's support/resistance character is about to flip — useful for planning, not for firing blind.
• Let Breath tell you whether a move carries participation or is running on fumes.
• Treat Hints as a reason to zoom in and do your own analysis, never as an instruction.
• Combine with your own risk management. NIMBUS describes context; your plan decides the trade.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ON REPAINTING (honest)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Once a bar closes, every Tenkan/Kijun/Span value is fixed and never redrawn. Hints and cross circles are all confirmed on bar close, so a printed mark cannot later disappear. The forward cloud is built only from closed bars, so it is fixed the moment it appears. Like all Ichimoku tools, values on the CURRENT, still-forming bar update in real time until that bar closes — this is inherent to the framework, not hidden repainting, and it is documented directly in the code comments.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NIMBUS is not another line pack bolted onto Ichimoku. The Kumo Calendar reframes the forward cloud as a countdown rather than a static shape; Breath encodes participation into the cloud's opacity; and the whole tool is presented as an explicit, self-aware CONTEXT instrument — it tells you what the market is, and refuses to pretend it knows your trade. The code is fully open for you to read, study, and learn from.

Adaptive Ichimoku Equilibrium ChannelADAPTIVE ICHIMOKU EQUILIBRIUM CHANNEL
WHAT IT IS
A modern, single-engine extension of Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. Ichimoku's core insight is that its lines are not moving averages but EQUILIBRIUM midpoints — the centre of the recent high/low range — and that it projects that equilibrium forward as a cloud. This script keeps that DNA and rebuilds it as one adaptive object: the equilibrium adapts to trend efficiency, the channel width breathes with volatility, volume confirms or warns, momentum and breakouts flag turns, equal-high/low liquidity pools become structural targets, the cloud trend is read across four timeframes, and a past-only calibration attaches an honest hit-rate to the signals. A plain-language verdict makes it readable at a glance; an Advanced view exposes the full engine.
It is a single indicator, not a pack. Everything plots in one pane on the price chart.
WHY THESE COMPONENTS ARE COMBINED (mashup justification)
Each layer answers a different question a trend trader must answer at the same moment, and all of them share — and reinforce — the same equilibrium spine, which is why they are fused into one engine rather than left as separate studies that would each repaint the chart and never reference each other:
- EQUILIBRIUM SPINE. Fast and slow range-midpoints (the Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun idea) blended by an efficiency ratio, so the spine tracks quickly in clean trends and slowly in chop. This is "fair value", and every other layer is measured relative to it.
- KUMO CLOUD + MULTI-TIMEFRAME TREND. The forward-displaced cloud shows trend at a glance. The same cloud trend is then sampled at 1x, 3x, 5x and 15x the chart timeframe and shown as four colour-coded cells, so higher-timeframe alignment is visible without switching charts. Alignment across the four is stronger context; conflict is a caution.
- ADAPTIVE WIDTH / PREMIUM-DISCOUNT. The dealing range around the spine expands when volatility expands and contracts when it compresses (width is ATR-based). This makes "discount" (lower half) and "premium" (upper half) mean the same thing across assets and regimes — a fixed-width channel cannot.
- VOLUME CONFIRMATION. Volume-weighted price versus its simple average shows whether volume agrees with the trend; a volume surge flags conviction. This closes the blind spot of a price-only channel. On instruments that report no volume, volume can be borrowed from a chosen proxy symbol.
- DISTANCE-FROM-EQUILIBRIUM DIVERGENCE. Ichimoku has no native oscillator, so momentum here is reconstructed as price's distance FROM the equilibrium spine: when price makes a higher high that is LESS extended from the spine than the previous high (or a lower low that is less extended), momentum is waning and a divergence is flagged at the extreme — exactly where reversals begin.
- VALIDATED BREAKOUTS. A break of a channel rail is only marked when it is confirmed by displacement beyond the rail, a dominant candle body, above-average volume, and a close that holds beyond the rail (anti-wick). This filters out the wick-pokes that fake breakouts on a naive channel.
- LIQUIDITY POOLS. Clusters of equal highs and equal lows are where stop orders rest. The script tracks the nearest unswept pool above and below price and lets trade targets snap to them, so objectives are structural rather than arbitrary.
- FUTURE BIAS + CALIBRATION. Trend, zone, slope, volume and breakouts are fused into a continuation-versus-reversion probability. Separately, the channel setups and the zone signals each carry a PAST-ONLY forward hit-rate, reported with a Wilson 95% confidence interval, measured on the current symbol.
In short: equilibrium without width gives no zones; width without volume or structure is blind; and neither tells you what is statistically likely next or whether the same setup has worked before on this symbol. Because each piece needs the others to be useful, they are one object.
HOW IT WORKS TOGETHER (reading the chart)
1. The trend-coloured band and its midline are the trend: green up, red down, gold/grey when there is no clear trend. The midline holds its colour until the trend actually reverses, so it does not flicker in chop.
2. Within the band, the lower (discount) half is where to look to engage with an uptrend; the upper (premium) half is extended. A downtrend mirrors this.
3. The short coloured level on the right is the invalidation: the current trend read fails on a close beyond it.
4. The dashboard's Ichimoku row shows the cloud trend on 1x/3x/5x/15x. The Higher-TF row tells you whether trades are permitted (setups are taken only in the higher timeframe's direction).
5. An orange "Div" marker warns of waning momentum at an extreme. A "Break" diamond marks a validated breakout. Cyan EQH/EQL lines are the nearest liquidity pools and act as targets.
6. The verdict box states the trend, where price sits, and the conviction in words. The Advanced view adds the calibrated win-rates, volume read, channel state and any optional inter-market context.
HOW TO USE IT
- Apply to any symbol and timeframe. Read the band colour for trend, the half for location, and the verdict box for the plain-language summary.
- Use the Ichimoku multi-timeframe row to gauge whether the higher timeframes agree before acting on a lower-timeframe signal.
- On-chart markers, from most to least prominent: LONG / SHORT label badges are full trade setups (entry, stop and target); Buy / Sell triangles mark price entering the discount/premium zone; the tiny orange "Div" warns of waning momentum at an extreme; the tiny "Break" diamond marks a validated breakout; cyan EQH/EQL lines are the nearest liquidity-pool targets.
- Treat all markers as context, and check their past-only win-rates in the Advanced view before relying on them.
- This is analysis context for your own decision, not a signal to act on blindly. It places no orders.
ORIGINALITY (versus standard Ichimoku)
Standard Ichimoku is a fixed-length, price-only, single-timeframe tool with no volume, no momentum oscillator, no breakout validation, no targets, and no measure of whether it has worked. This script makes the equilibrium adaptive, makes the width volatility-driven, reconstructs momentum as distance-from-equilibrium, validates breakouts against wicks, turns equal-high/low liquidity into targets, shows the cloud trend across four timeframes, adds volume confirmation, and attaches a past-only calibrated hit-rate to its signals. None of that is provided by classic Ichimoku.
UNIVERSAL DATA (works on any market)
The price source is selectable in Settings (default close; choose hl2, hlc3, or any series), every threshold is ATR-relative, and volume can be borrowed from a proxy symbol for instruments that report none — so the script runs on stocks, futures, FX, crypto and indices without re-tuning. Two optional refinements are off by default and never shown on the simple face: a spot symbol (futures-vs-spot basis) and a volatility index (e.g. VIX / India VIX), which feed conviction and channel width when supplied. The entire display — dashboard, bands, lines, labels and markers — adapts to your chart background automatically (Auto theme), or can be forced to Dark or Light, so it stays readable on any background.
SETTINGS OVERVIEW
Data source (price source, optional borrowed-volume symbol); Equilibrium (Tenkan/Kijun lengths, adaptive blend); Adaptive width; Regime (efficiency, ADX, slope); Inter-market refinement (optional); Multi-timeframe trade filter; Calibration horizon and follow-through; Trades; Breakout validation thresholds; Liquidity tolerance; and Visuals (theme, zones, signals, divergence, liquidity, multi-timeframe levels, dashboard position).
LIMITATIONS
The forward cloud is a PROJECTION of the current equilibrium, not a forecast. Calibration and hit-rates describe PAST behaviour only on the current symbol and are not predictive. Borrowed volume, futures-vs-spot basis and volatility-index refinement are approximations. Everything here is probabilistic context, not certainty.

This is a study/indicator for chart analysis and education only. It is not a strategy, not a recommendation, and not financial advice. It places no orders and guarantees no outcome. Markets carry risk; do your own research and manage your own risk.

Ichimoku Cloud Calibrated & Multi-Timeframe# Ichimoku Cloud — Strength-Graded, Calibrated & Multi-Timeframe (ICHI ARC)
## What it is
The classic Ichimoku Kinko Hyo five-line system — Tenkan, Kijun, the Senkou A/B cloud (Kumo) and the Chikou span — drawn faithfully, but with the *reading* of it done by a modern engine instead of the eye.
A plain Ichimoku throws six signals at once with no synthesis, uses fixed periods designed for one market in the 1930s, and tells you nothing about whether its signals actually work.
ICHI ARC keeps the cloud exactly as the core, then fuses the whole signal cluster into **one 0–100 strength score per signal**, confirms it with market structure and volume, and **calibrates the score to what actually happened on this symbol**.
It runs on **any symbol, asset class, timeframe and market**. The raw data source and every optional feed are user-selectable; nothing is hard-coded to a market.
---
## Why these components are combined (mashup rationale)
A raw Ichimoku has four well-known weaknesses, and each added layer fixes exactly one of them and feeds the next — none is decorative:
### 1. Adaptive periods (fixes the "one-market settings" problem)
Optionally derive Tenkan/Kijun/Span-B from the measured **dominant cycle** so the cloud fits the instrument and timeframe instead of fixed 9/26/52. Classic mode is the default.
### 2. One strength score (fixes "six signals, no synthesis")
Price-vs-cloud (the master bias), Tenkan/Kijun, Chikou clearance, current cloud colour, the forward Kumo twist, Kijun slope and cloud thickness are weighted into a single 0–100 grade so you read one number, not six lines.
### 3. Market-structure confirmation, BOS / CHoCH (fixes false breakouts)
Swing-pivot structure independently checks whether a cloud breakout is a real structural shift: a same-direction Break of Structure strengthens the signal; a signal against the last Change of Character is vetoed.
This is price geometry, so it is orthogonal to the cloud and to volume.
### 4. Relative-volume confirmation (fixes dead-volume fakeouts)
Real breakouts carry volume; RVOL (volume vs its own average) boosts strong-volume signals and can veto dead-volume ones — a third, independent angle on the same failure mode.
### 5. Regime + multi-timeframe context (keeps it out of chop)
An efficiency-ratio / trend-strength / volatility-cluster classifier and three higher-timeframe clouds gate the signals, since Ichimoku breakouts fail in range-bound tape.
### 6. Conviction, vetoes and Kelly sizing
Everything resolves to one LONG / SHORT / FLAT verdict with hard vetoes, and the calibrated win-rate is turned into a fractional-Kelly position-size suggestion.
Remove any one layer and a specific Ichimoku failure returns (wrong fit, signal overload, false breakout, dead-volume breakout, chop). That is the justification for combining them.
---
## How it is original
ICHI ARC keeps a **self-calibrating quality engine**.
Every cloud-bias signal is checked a fixed window later for whether price actually ran a **favourable target (in ATR)** in the signal's direction — i.e. whether the trade *worked*, not merely whether the cloud held.
From that it reports, live, the **realised win-rate of past signals at each strength tier on this symbol** plus the average favourable move (in ATR), can **auto-learn the strength cutoff** worth acting on, and converts the win-rate into a **Kelly-based sizing suggestion**.
A stock Ichimoku tells you nothing about the quality of its own signals; this one is accountable to its own track record.
---
## What it plots
• The full classic Ichimoku: Tenkan, Kijun, the displaced Senkou A/B **cloud** (with opacity scaled by cloud thickness), the Chikou span, and marked forward **Kumo twists**.
• Strength-graded signal triangles with a score label (`72 S` / `55 M` / `31 w`), and small diamonds marking **Change-of-Character** structure flips.
• A compact **dashboard** featuring:
* Verdict
* Regime
* Price-vs-cloud
* Structure state
* Signal strength and realised win-rate
* Tenkan/Kijun status
* Chikou status
* MTF agreement
* Relative volume
* Calibration statistics
* Kelly / expectancy sizing reference
* Active veto status
---
## How to use it
### 1. Trade with the cloud
Long bias above the Kumo, short bias below, no-trade inside.
### 2. Focus on strength-graded signals
A high-strength signal that also has:
• Same-direction Break of Structure
• Higher-timeframe agreement
• Real volume confirmation
is the A+ setup.
Weak signals during chop regimes are generally the ones to skip.
### 3. Read the VERDICT / VETO rows
WEAK or VETO means stand aside (for example, a signal against structure, in chop, or on dead volume).
### 4. Use the RELIABILITY and KELLY rows
The **RELIABILITY** row shows how this symbol's signals at each strength tier have historically behaved.
The **KELLY** row suggests a risk percentage for journaling and trade review purposes.
The displayed size is a reference only and not an order recommendation.
### 5. Alerts
Alerts cover:
• Bullish cloud signals
• Bearish cloud signals
• Conviction verdict changes
• Kumo twists
---
## Settings (use on any asset / market)
### Raw data source
`close`, `hl2`, `hlc3`, `ohlc4`, or another indicator's plot.
The cloud's highs/lows always use chart high/low.
Works on any instrument.
### Periods
Classic (9/26/52/26) or Adaptive (dominant-cycle).
Displacement remains fixed.
### Structure
Swing pivot length and structure veto controls.
### Volume
RVOL length and minimum thresholds.
Optional low-volume veto.
### Calibration
Judging window and favourable ATR target defining a "good" signal.
Auto-learn cutoff and target win-rate settings.
### Advanced Controls
Regime, MTF, conviction weights, risk controls, Kelly fraction and maximum risk.
### Optional feeds (blank = off)
• Volatility-index symbol (spike veto)
• Cross-asset symbol (confluence)
Both are disabled by default, allowing fully self-contained operation on any market.
---
## Notes
• This is a **study / indicator**, not a strategy, and it places no orders.
• Signals are evaluated on bar close to avoid intrabar repainting.
• Structure uses confirmed pivots and higher-timeframe reads use confirmed values.
• The cloud and Chikou are displaced exactly as in classic Ichimoku.
• Relative-volume features require a symbol that reports volume (such as futures). On volume-less symbols they gracefully revert to neutral behaviour.

TSI in Dynamic Zones with Divergence and Pivot PointsTrue Strength Index , or TSI is considered a "leading indicator" - in contrast to a "lagging indicator" just as Moving Averages it does not show a confirmation what already happened, but it shows what can happen in the future. For example: The chart is climbing while the TSI oscillator is slowly declining, gets weaker and weaker, maybe even prints bearish divergences? That means that a reversal might be occurring soon. Leading indicators are best paired with Stop and Resistance Lines, General Trendlines , Fib Retracements etc. Your chart is approaching a very important Resistance Trendline but the TSI shows a very positive signal? That means there is a high probability that the Resistance is going to be pushed through and becomes Support in the future.
What are those circles?
-These are Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
What are those triangles?
- These are Pivots . They show when the TSI oscillator might reverse, this is important to know because many times the price action follows this move.
What are these blue or orange areas?
- Those are dynamic zones. For the analysis of the TSI its important to know if the indicator is in a state of oversold or overbought to filter out ranging price movement. Normally those zones are static, in this version of the TSI oscillator dynamic zones were added to show a dynamic calculation whether the TSI oscillator is oversold, overbought or ranging.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations. Indicator
