ichimoku Technical Utility Version — .ichimoku • ichimoku

Create an ichimoku object containing values for all components of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo cloud chart.

Usage

.ichimoku(x, ticker, periods = c(9L, 26L, 52L), ...)

Arguments

x: a data.frame object with a POSIXct date-time index as the first column and numeric OHLC pricing data as the second through fifth columns.
ticker: (optional) specify a ticker to identify the instrument, otherwise this is set to the name of the input object.
periods: [default c(9L, 26L, 52L)] a vector defining the length of periods used for the cloud. This parameter shoud not normally be modified as using other values would be invalid in the context of traditional ichimoku analysis.

Value

An ichimoku object with S3 classes of ‘ichimoku’, ‘xts’ and ‘zoo’.
