VibeFox Ichimoku — Ichimoku Kinko Hyo with Entry Signals and Interactive Panel
VibeFox Ichimoku is a complete implementation of the classic Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system for MetaTrader 5. The indicator builds all five components in real time, colors the Kumo cloud in two distinct shades depending on market sentiment, automatically marks entry signals directly on the price chart, and gathers all controls into a single modern canvas-based interactive panel. No need to switch between tabs and dialogs — lines, colors, signals, and notifications are all adjusted right on screen with the mouse, in real time.
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo — what the indicator draws
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo translates as "equilibrium chart at a glance": the idea is that a single picture delivers the full market view — trend, support/resistance, and momentum all at once.
Tenkan-sen (conversion line) — the fast midpoint line, calculated as the average of the high and low over the Tenkan period. Reflects short-term supply-and-demand balance.
Kijun-sen (base line) — the slow midpoint line, calculated the same way over the Kijun period. Acts as a medium-term support/resistance level and a filter for false signals.
Senkou Span A — the first cloud boundary, plotted as the midpoint of Tenkan and Kijun, displaced forward by Kijun periods.
Senkou Span B — the second cloud boundary, plotted as the midpoint of the high and low over the Senkou period, also displaced forward.
Chikou Span — the lagging span: the current closing price shifted backward. Used to confirm the signal against historical price action.
The area between Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B forms the Kumo cloud — the key support and resistance zone. When Senkou A is above Senkou B the cloud is colored in the bullish shade (Cloud Up); when Senkou B is above, it switches to the bearish shade (Cloud Dn). Cloud thickness reflects zone strength: a wide cloud means strong support or resistance; a thin cloud is weaker.
Reading basics: price above the cloud signals a bullish trend; below — bearish; inside the cloud — neutral or transitional. When Tenkan-sen is above Kijun-sen, short-term momentum is bullish; a Tenkan crossover to the downside signals weakening.
Entry Points
VibeFox Ichimoku automatically detects entry conditions and marks them with arrow signals directly on the price chart. Two independent signal types are available.
Entry — Tenkan/Kijun cross (TK Cross)
The primary signal fires when Tenkan-sen crosses Kijun-sen. If Tenkan crosses Kijun from below, a BUY marker is placed; if Tenkan crosses Kijun from above, a SELL marker appears. This is the classic TK Cross — one of the core signals of the Ichimoku system, reflecting a shift in short-term momentum relative to the medium-term base.
Cloud Break — price breaks the Kumo cloud
The second signal fires when price breaks through the Kumo cloud: a closing price that exits above the cloud produces a BUY marker; a close that drops below produces a SELL marker. A cloud breakout is considered a stronger signal because price has overcome a consolidated support or resistance zone.
Both signal types can be enabled independently or simultaneously. The Buy Marker and Sell Marker colors are configured separately, and the Marker Size control scales arrows from 1 to 5.
Full Visual Control
Every element of the system is configurable down to the finest detail. The Tenkan color and the Kijun color are set independently, and each line has its own transparency slider (0 = fully opaque, 100 = invisible) — you can make one line a bold dominant and reduce the other to a subtle background reference. The Kumo cloud receives two independent colors: Cloud Up for the bullish state (Senkou A > B) and Cloud Dn for the bearish state (Senkou A < B), each with its own transparency slider so the cloud fill can be semi-transparent without obscuring price candles. The Line Width control sets line thickness from 1 to 5 pixels. The Bars parameter limits the analysis depth to avoid unnecessary calculations on slower machines.
Interactive On-Chart Panel
The entire interface is a smooth canvas panel designed for fast mouse-driven control. Parameters are grouped into neat three-column rows, and the entry block is set apart under its own ENTRY header so signal settings never mix with line settings. Header icons give instant access to core controls.
Power — toggles the drawing of lines, cloud, and signals on and off without removing the indicator from the chart.
Settings (gear) — opens and closes the settings section of the panel.
Updown (arrows) — moves the panel between the separate subwindow and the main chart with a single click.
Close (cross) — closes the indicator.
Resizable — drag the bottom-right corner to resize the panel to fit your workspace.
Collapsible — double-click the header to collapse the panel into a compact bar.
Mouse wheel — hover over any numeric field and scroll the wheel to change the value without touching the keyboard.
Settings and Personalization
The Settings button opens a section where the panel is tailored to your workspace. Light, dark, or automatic Theme (matched to the chart's color scheme), configurable panel width in pixels, header size, row height, and font size. Extra options: hide the bottom bar with Hide Footer, show a mini header when collapsed via Mini Header, and auto-collapse the panel on a click outside. Almost all parameters can be changed live on the panel — input parameters set only the startup values. You can run multiple independent copies on the same chart by assigning each a unique Instance — for example, to compare classic periods (9/26/52) against accelerated ones.
Entry Signal Notifications
You do not need to watch the chart and wait. Each new entry signal is delivered through your chosen channels, enabled independently right inside the Settings section of the panel.
Alert — a popup window inside the MetaTrader terminal.
Push — a mobile push notification to the MetaTrader app on your phone.
Email — a message sent through the terminal's email settings.
Telegram — the alert text together with a chart screenshot, sent straight to your Telegram chat.
Notifications fire once per bar on candle close to avoid duplicate alerts for the same signal.
Visual Entry History (Html Report)
Enable the Html channel and every entry signal is saved to an HTML report together with a chart screenshot at the moment of the signal. The report is stored in the terminal's Files folder under the VibeFox_Ichimoku directory and opens in any browser — giving you a complete visual log of every entry the indicator found. The trash button clears the report and its screenshots in one click whenever you want to start fresh.
Telegram Alerts
Signals can also be delivered straight to your Telegram chat — the alert text together with a screenshot of the chart at the moment of detection. Turn on the Telegram channel and enter your bot token and chat id in the inputs.
Delivery rides on the HTML report: each new signal is written into the report, and the report — opened in a browser — forwards it to your Telegram chat on its own. For this reason, enabling Telegram automatically keeps the Html report on, and the two channels work together.
Built-in Multilingual Help
A full help page is built into the panel and available in 10 languages, so every control is explained exactly where you use it — no need to open external documentation.
