Ichimoku Equilibrium Distance (Kijun/Tenkan)

Ichimoku Equilibrium Distance (Kijun/Tenkan)
Ichimoku Equilibrium Distance (Kijun/Tenkan) is a conservative Ichimoku-internal context indicator that visualizes how far price is extended away from the core equilibrium lines:
The focus is on equilibrium, extension, and context — not on “magic signals”.
All calculations are derived from Ichimoku components only (no RSI/ATR filters).
Concept
In Ichimoku, Kijun-sen and Tenkan-sen are often treated as dynamic equilibrium references.
When price is close to them, the market is often in a more balanced state.
When price is far away, the market is extended — which can matter for:
This script makes the “distance to equilibrium” visible in a clean oscillator-style panel.
Core Features
1) Distance Lines (Ichimoku-internal)
Optional plotting of:
2) Conservative Normalization Modes
Distances can be displayed as:
3) Background Context (Current or Higher TF)
Optional background shading for quick bias reading:
4) Confluence Background (Optional)
A single background layer with dynamic opacity:
5) Alerts & Markers (Optional)
Classic Ichimoku relationships as selectable signals:
These are explicit Ichimoku meanings (not re-branded “new” signals).
6) MTF Histogram (Current Close vs HTF Kijun)
Optional histogram “tags” showing:
Useful to see extension relative to higher timeframe equilibrium.
How To Use (Ambitious Beginners)
A) Learn equilibrium behavior
Start with one line:
Goal: understand equilibrium pull, not force reversal trades.
B) Avoid chasing
In trends, entries often fail because traders buy/sell while price is already stretched.
Use distance as a simple checklist:
C) Use Tenkan vs Kijun as “pressure” context
Enable Tenkan-Kijun Distance:
Combine with price action (structure, breaks, retests).
D) Keep it simple
Recommended learning workflow:
How To Use (Advanced Traders)
1) Extension mapping across timeframes
Combine:
Goal: detect when the current move is extended relative to higher timeframe equilibrium.
2) Trend continuation vs pullback risk
Observe “distance regime” instead of single-point signals:
3) Confluence as a bias overlay (minimal, conservative)
Use Confluence Background to quickly see agreement:
4) Alert workflow (discretionary, not automated)
Example approach:

Ichimoku Equilibrium Distance (Kijun/Tenkan) is a conservative Ichimoku-internal context indicator that visualizes how far price is extended away from the core equilibrium lines:
- Kijun-Price Distance (Close − Kijun)
- Tenkan-Price Distance (Close − Tenkan)
- Tenkan-Kijun Distance (Tenkan − Kijun)
The focus is on equilibrium, extension, and context — not on “magic signals”.
All calculations are derived from Ichimoku components only (no RSI/ATR filters).
Concept
In Ichimoku, Kijun-sen and Tenkan-sen are often treated as dynamic equilibrium references.
When price is close to them, the market is often in a more balanced state.
When price is far away, the market is extended — which can matter for:
- avoiding “chasing” in trends
- spotting stretched conditions before pullbacks / mean reversion
- gauging trend pressure and acceleration phases
This script makes the “distance to equilibrium” visible in a clean oscillator-style panel.
Core Features
1) Distance Lines (Ichimoku-internal)
Optional plotting of:
- Price − Kijun distance
- Price − Tenkan distance
- Tenkan − Kijun distance
2) Conservative Normalization Modes
Distances can be displayed as:
- Raw (price units)
- % of Price (cross-market comparable)
- % of Ichimoku Range (Highest−Lowest of the Ichimoku window; no ATR)
3) Background Context (Current or Higher TF)
Optional background shading for quick bias reading:
- Current timeframe background
- Next higher timeframe background (mapped conservatively)
4) Confluence Background (Optional)
A single background layer with dynamic opacity:
- Stronger opacity = stronger agreement between selected Ichimoku distance sources
- You can choose which sources contribute to confluence (independent from line plots)
5) Alerts & Markers (Optional)
Classic Ichimoku relationships as selectable signals:
- Price crosses Kijun
- Price crosses Tenkan
- Tenkan crosses Kijun (TK/KJ cross)
These are explicit Ichimoku meanings (not re-branded “new” signals).
6) MTF Histogram (Current Close vs HTF Kijun)
Optional histogram “tags” showing:
- Close − 4H Kijun
- Close − D Kijun
- Close − W Kijun
- Close − M Kijun
Useful to see extension relative to higher timeframe equilibrium.
How To Use (Ambitious Beginners)
A) Learn equilibrium behavior
Start with one line:
- Enable Kijun-Price Distance
- Watch how often price re-centers toward Kijun after large extensions
Goal: understand equilibrium pull, not force reversal trades.
B) Avoid chasing
In trends, entries often fail because traders buy/sell while price is already stretched.
Use distance as a simple checklist:
- Distance small/medium -> easier to justify continuation entries
- Distance large -> consider waiting for pullback or consolidation
C) Use Tenkan vs Kijun as “pressure” context
Enable Tenkan-Kijun Distance:
- Positive TK−KJ often aligns with bullish pressure
- Negative TK−KJ often aligns with bearish pressure
Combine with price action (structure, breaks, retests).
D) Keep it simple
Recommended learning workflow:
- Use % of Price mode for easier comparison
- Enable only one or two distance lines
- Turn on background only after you understand the lines
How To Use (Advanced Traders)
1) Extension mapping across timeframes
Combine:
- Current TF distance lines
- Higher TF background
- MTF histogram (4H/D/W/M)
Goal: detect when the current move is extended relative to higher timeframe equilibrium.
2) Trend continuation vs pullback risk
Observe “distance regime” instead of single-point signals:
- Steady trend: distance oscillates but holds directional bias
- Acceleration: distance expands rapidly (risk of late entry increases)
- Transition: TK−KJ compresses / flips while price distance decays
3) Confluence as a bias overlay (minimal, conservative)
Use Confluence Background to quickly see agreement:
- Kijun distance + TK−KJ alignment -> stronger directional context
- Mixed readings -> reduce aggressiveness / wait for clarity
4) Alert workflow (discretionary, not automated)
Example approach:
- Enable alert for “Price crosses Kijun”
- Use it as a context prompt to check structure and risk
- Do not treat the alert as an entry by itself
Notes
- This is a context and equilibrium tool, not an automated trading system.
- Large distance does not guarantee reversal — strong trends can remain extended.
- Ichimoku components are derived values; interpret together with structure, volatility behavior, and risk management.
- If you trade different markets, prefer normalized modes for comparability.
Best Suited For
- Ichimoku traders who prefer conservative, method-aligned tools
- Ambitious beginners learning equilibrium and extension behavior
- Discretionary intraday and swing traders
- Users who want clean charts with optional higher timeframe context
