How the standard Ichimoku lines are calculated and placed
Kijun[i] = (HighestHigh₂₆ + LowestLow₂₆) ÷ 2
Senkou A[i] = (Tenkan[i] + Kijun[i]) ÷ 2, displayed at i + 26
Senkou B[i] = (HighestHigh₅₂ + LowestLow₅₂) ÷ 2, displayed at i + 26
Chikou[i] = Close[i], displayed at i − 26
Version 1.0.0 fixes the conventional intervals documented by MetaTrader: 9 for Tenkan, 26 for Kijun and the displacement, and 52 for Senkou Span B.
The results keep calculation source indices separate from display indices. A forward display shift changes where the entered-data value is drawn; it is not a forecast.
Assumptions and limits
- At least 52 ordered high-low-close bars are required.
- Every close must lie between its row low and high.
- Rows must be oldest to newest and use one symbol, timeframe and feed.
- Available history and the chosen starting row can affect comparison with a terminal.
- Cloud position, support, resistance, crossovers, trend, entries and exits are withheld.

How to interpret the result
The forward and backward indices are chart placements for values calculated from entered data. They do not predict a value 26 bars ahead or recreate a past price. Line ordering and cloud position are deliberately left unclassified.
