Description

An implementation of the 'Ichimoku Kinko Hyo' charting system, also commonly known as 'cloud charts', providing both publication-ready and fully-interactive charts for analysis. As described in Sasaki (1996, ISBN:4925152009), the technique is a refinement on candlestick charting originating from Japan, now in widespread use in technical analysis worldwide. Translating to 'one-glance equilibrium chart', it allows the price action and market structure of financial securities to be determined 'at-a-glance'.

Principal ichimoku functions

• ichimoku to create an ichimoku object.

• plot.ichimoku to plot a cloud chart from an ichimoku object.

• iplot to plot an interactive cloud chart from an ichimoku object.
