Library "Chikou" This library contains Chikou Filter function to enhances functionality of Chikou-Span from Ichimoku Cloud using a simple trend filter. Chikou is basically close value of ticker offset to close and it is a good for indicating if close value has crossed potential Support/Resistance zone from past. Chikou is usually used with 26 period. Chikou filter uses a lookback length calculated from provided lookback percentage and checks if trend was bullish or bearish within that lookback period. Bullish : Trend is bullish if Chikou span is above high values of all candles within defined lookback period. Bull color shows bullish trend . Bearish: Trend is bearish if Chikou span is below low values of all candles within defined lookback period. This is indicated by Bearish color. Reversal / Choppiness : Reversal color indicates that Chikou are swinging around candles within defined lookback period which is an indication of consolidation or trend reversal.

Hello MightyZinger! Thank you for sharing the Chikou Filter! I have a question about the bearish signal determination. How did you determine if the stock is bearish? What was your defined look-back period?
