1. ARC (Average Range times Constant)

ARC is the original concept used in the Super Trend indicator:  
•    multiply a constant (factor) with the Average True Range (ATR), then, based on trend direction, either subtract or add the resulting value to the last extremum point on the price chart. 
•    In an uptrend, ignore any support level lower than the previous day’s support level, and during a downtrend, ignore any support level higher than the previous support level.
 

2. ARC Ichimoku 

ARC Ichimoku is a variation of the classic Ichimoku indicator, which instead of using chart Max/Min values over fixed periods (e.g., 9, 26, 52) to find Ichimoku lines, employs the ARC with adjustable factors (constants) for the same periods to find those lines.
 

•     Tenkensen: This line represents an ARC (Super Trend) calculated using an adjustable factor (default, 1.0) based on a 9-period ATR.
•     Kijunsen: Kijunsen is also an ARC (Super Trend) calculated using an adjustable factor (default, 2.9), but based on a 26-period ATR.
•     Span A (faster cloud edge): It is the average of Tenkensen and Kijunsen, shifted forward by 26 candles.
•     Span B (slower cloud edge): It is another ARC (Super Trend) calculated using an adjustable factor (default, 5.8) based on a 52-period ATR. It is then shifted forward by 26 periods.
•     Chikou: Chikou represents the close price shifted backward by 26 candles.

 3. Available Signals in the indicator 

There are five reliable signals in the classic Ichimoku, which have difference in their strength mostly based on their relationship with the cloud, and you can see all of them in this indicator, too. These include:
 

•     Tenkan-Kijun Cross: When Tenkensen crosses above/below Kijunsen, it signals a potential bullish/bearish trend.
•     Price-Kijun Cross: This signal occurs most frequently and when the price crosses above or below the Kijunsen line.
•     Kumo Breakout: A breakout above or below the Kumo (cloud) indicates a potential trend reversal.
•     Kumo color change: When the cloud color changes from red to green, or vice versa, it signals a potential trend reversal.
•     Chikou Span Confirmation: When the Chikou (lagging span) crosses above or below the price, it confirms the prevailing trend direction.

 
If you believe that there are more reliable signals for Ichimoku trading system, I’m ready to hear and implement them in this indicator for the next updates.
