Ichimoku Question – Indicator Working Over Date Changes

Hi Peter,

I am looking at making better use of your Ichimoku code, but I noticed it doesn’t always fire as expected.

Specifically, I am looking at the symbol LABD on April 25 to 26. On April 25, I have a continuation buy signal set at 12:30 using a 10 minute scan interval. On the morning of the 26, I would expect a sell signal as price has slipped below the cloud 3 bars at 7:10. One of the bars was drawn the day before though. Is there some issue that happens when a new day starts that doesn’t always trigger the 3 bar below cloud indicator?

The way I have your script set up is running 2 plots – a bullish scenario and a bearish scenario. I have all the plot statements set to plot bullish in the bull plot and the opposite for the bear plot.

Since you are using an intraday time frame and find different results between a scan and chart the very first item to check is your chart settings. The scans are forced to use standard aggregation start times while the charts enable you to select the aggregation to begin at market open. This needs to be turned off. See screenshot below. Let us know if you are still having issues.

Thanks. Sometimes we look for the complicated instead of the simple. Turns out it doesn’t like using exteneded hours.

Oh yeah. That could be another issue. Didn’t think of that.
