Why TickAtlas
What is the Ichimoku Cloud API?
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system provides trend direction, momentum, and support/resistance all in one visual. The kumo (cloud) formed by Senkou Span A and B acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone. Tenkan-sen and kijun-sen crossovers (TK cross) signal momentum shifts. Our API exposes Ichimoku_tenkan, Ichimoku_kijun, and Ichimoku_senkou_a as individual REST endpoints — pre-calculated from our live data. No 52-period lookback calculation needed on your end.
7 Timeframes
M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 — the same endpoint serves scalpers and position traders alike.
Forex, Crypto, Commodities
EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD, BTCUSD, USDJPY — data available for every symbol in our data.

What developers ask first.
Straight answers on limits, coverage and how the endpoint behaves in production.
Which Ichimoku lines are available?
Currently Ichimoku_tenkan (tenkan-sen, 9-period), Ichimoku_kijun (kijun-sen, 26-period), and Ichimoku_senkou_a (Senkou Span A, the average of the two forwarded 26 periods). These cover the three most traded signals: TK cross, kijun bounce, and cloud breakout.
Does the API handle the 26-period forward shift for Senkou Span A?
The API returns the current Senkou Span A value as plotted on the live chart — the forward-shifted cloud boundary at the current price bar. This matches what you'd see in the trading platform.
Is Ichimoku better on H4 or D1?
Ichimoku was originally designed for daily charts. H4 is widely used by Forex swing traders. Both timeframes are available — H1 and below will produce noisier signals. Start with H4 for the most reliable Ichimoku readings.
Can I detect a kumo breakout via the API?
Yes — compare Ichimoku_senkou_a with the current price (the same response carries bid and ask, or use the close from GET /v1/ohlc). If price is above Senkou A, it is above the cloud’s leading edge — a bullish context in classical Ichimoku analysis. Senkou B is not part of the 42-indicator set, so the far edge of the cloud has to be reconstructed on your side.
