Ichimoku Senkou Span B

[[senkou_span_b]] produces the slower boundary of the Ichimoku cloud. It calculates each value by finding the highest high and lowest low from the last 52 candles, taking the midpoint between those extremes, and shifting that midpoint forward by 26 candles.

This shift is a timing offset, not a forecast: the value available on a candle is the midpoint calculated 26 candles earlier. The line remains unchanged until the midpoint of the window’s extremes moves. Together, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B define the cloud’s two boundaries. The 52-candle window and 26-candle shift are fixed in this block.

Block declaration#

A strategy can contain multiple [[senkou_span_b]] blocks. The block outputs one numeric series (Senkou Span B, shifted +26). This block is a fixed donchian_mid alias with length=52 and offset=26. No source parameter is required because this block always uses the high and low input series.

Examples#

Minimal setup#

[[senkou_span_b]]
id = "ssb"

Parametric variant with donchian_mid#

If you need to vary length or offset, use [[donchian_mid]]. [[senkou_span_b]] does not accept them.

Parameters#

Available variables#

Use the identifiers below directly in your expressions.

Assume the block is configured as:

[[senkou_span_b]]
id = "ssb"

Then:

Notes

• Numeric variables can be combined freely (arithmetic, comparisons, logical operators).
• Text variables are intended for equality/inequality comparisons.
