Calculation
Ichimoku indicator consists of five lines drawn using the midpoints of previous highs & lows. The five lines are calculated as follows:
1) Tenkan-Sen: Conversion Line: Red Line (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2, for the last 9 cfd price periods
2) Kijun-Sen: Base Line: Blue Line (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2, for the last 26 cfd price periods
3) Chikou Span: Lagging Span: Green Line Today's closing cfd price plotted 26 cfd price periods behind
4) The Senkou Span A: Leading Span A = (Tenkan-Sen + Kijun-Sen) / 2, drawn 26 cfd price periods ahead
5) Senkou Span B: Leading Span B: (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2, for the past 52 cfd price periods, plotted 26 cfd price periods ahead
Kumo: Cloud: area between Senkou Span A & B

A bullish cfd trading crossover signal that occurs below the clouds is considered a weak buy signal while a bearish cfd trading crossover signal that occurs above the clouds is considered a weak sell cfd trade signal.
Support and Resistance Levels
Support & resistance levels can be predicted by the presence of Kumo (clouds). The Kumo can also be used to identify the current cfd price trend of the cfd price.
- If cfd price is above the Kumo, the prevailing cfd price trend is said to be upwards cfd price trend.
- If cfd price is below the Kumo, the prevailing cfd price trend is said to be downwards cfd price trend.
The Chikou Span or Lagging Span is also used to determine the strength of the buy or sell cfd trade signal.
- If the Chikou Span is below the closing cfd price of the last 26 periods and a sell signal is given, then the strength of the cfd price trend is downwards, otherwise the cfd signal is considered to be a weak sell cfd trade signal.
- If there is a buy signal and the Chikou Span is above the cfd price of the last 26 periods, then the strength of the cfd price trend is to the upside buy signal, otherwise it is considered to be a weak buy cfd trade signal.
