ichimoku: Visualization and Tools for Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Strategies

Source: R/ichimoku-package.R
ichimoku-package.Rd

An implementation of 'Ichimoku Kinko Hyo', also commonly known as 'cloud charts'. Static and interactive visualizations with tools for creating, backtesting and development of quantitative 'ichimoku' strategies. As described in Sasaki (1996, ISBN:4925152009), the technique is a refinement on candlestick charting, originating from Japan and now in widespread use in technical analysis worldwide. Translating as 'one-glance equilibrium chart', it allows the price action and market structure of financial securities to be determined 'at-a-glance'. Incorporates an interface with the OANDA fxTrade API https://developer.oanda.com/ for retrieving historical and live streaming price data for major currencies, metals, commodities, government bonds and stock indices.
