How to Use the Indicator?
Check the Cloud Position:
Price above the cloud = bullish.
Price below the cloud = bearish.
Price inside the cloud = consolidation.
Look for Kijun Crosses:
Buy when price crosses above Kijun-Sen.
Sell when price crosses below Kijun-Sen.
Confirm with Chikou Span:
If Chikou Span supports the buy/sell signal, it's more reliable.
Use Cloud Breakouts for Trend Reversals:
If price moves from below to above the cloud = strong buy.
If price moves from above to below the cloud = strong sell.
