What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, a Japanese technical analysis method that combines five lines to judge price trend and momentum. When installed, the agent can calculate these lines from price data and produce simple signals: 1 for long, -1 for short, and 0 to stand aside. A buy signal requires a bullish crossover plus price above the cloud and a bullish cloud; a sell signal needs the mirror conditions. It is a trading-signal calculator, not a guarantee of profit.

Great for

  • Traders or quants who already use Ichimoku and want a reproducible signal generator in Python
  • Developers building backtests of trend-following rules on OHLC price data
  • Students learning how Ichimoku lines and cloud filters are computed

Skip it if

  • People expecting reliable investment returns: technical signals are not validated here and can lose money in choppy markets
  • Live trading without independent testing: the code is a short example engine and the agent may not handle missing data, data gaps, or costs and slippage

Try asking

  • “Calculate Ichimoku signals for my BTC-USDT daily dataframe and count the long, short and flat signals”
  • “Explain how the Senkou Span A and B cloud is shifted forward 26 periods in my code”
  • “Backtest a simple Ichimoku strategy on this CSV of hourly prices with default parameters”
  • “Change the Tenkan period to 7 and Kijun to 22 and show how the signals change”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Supply at least 78 candles of history, since the signal logic needs 52 plus 26 periods of warm-up before it produces valid output
  • Treat the output as one input to analysis: backtest on your own data and account for fees and slippage before any real trades
  • Ask the agent to explain each line's formula so you can verify the calculation matches your intended definition
