Calling the Kumo Cloud on the iIchimoku indicator function.

[tchikwetu]

I am developing an Ichimoku based EA with the following rules as per attached diagram

Buy Rules

• Rule 1: Chikou Span should be above Kumo Cloud
• Rule 2: Price close should be above Kumo Cloud
• Rule 3: Tenkan-Sen should be above Kijun_sen
• Rule 4: Future Kumo cloud should be bullish;

The challenge I am having is on which shifts I should use when calling Senkou Span A and B functions of the Kumo Cloud e.g. what will be the Senkou Span A and B shift values be at Rule 1 and 2?

Work with an easier case: an iMA indicator with a horizontal offset: 

Creating an iMA indicator handle, getting indicator values

Pic. 1. Get value on bar #0, #1, #2

I can work with other simple indicators. The challenge I am facing with Ichimoku is that the Kumo Cloud is projected 26 periods in the future whilst the Chokou Span if 26 periods in the past.

Well I guess you could just take the latest buffer available from the senkou

Hi, can you please explain how you figured this problem out?

I am also trying to use SSA and SSB 26 periods in the future. Not the value under price.
