Ichimoku Tenkan/Kijun Cross Strategy (Python)

Ichimoku indicators provide a full trend-following system. This approach focuses on the Tenkan-sen crossing the Kijun-sen while price trades relative to the Kumo cloud. A bullish cross above the cloud signals trend continuation higher, whereas a bearish cross below the cloud suggests weakness. During operation the strategy calculates the Ichimoku components on each bar. When Tenkan rises above Kijun and price sits above the cloud, a long trade is initiated with a stop near Kijun. A cross in the opposite direction below the cloud triggers a short with a similar stop placement. The system stays in the trade until the stop is hit or the cross reverses, aiming to catch sustained moves that follow the direction of the cloud.
