About
Ichimoku Cloud (Ichimoku Kinko Hyo) is five lines: Conversion, Base, Leading Span A, Leading Span B, and Lagging Span. The cloud (Kumo) is the area between the two leading spans.
Price above a rising cloud is a bullish bias. Price below a falling cloud is a bearish bias. Conversion crossing Base (TK cross) is a common timing signal. A thick cloud is stronger support or resistance than a thin one.
In a mix, use cloud side as the trend filter and the TK cross or a cloud twist as the trigger. Ichimoku already stacks several ideas, so extra oscillators are optional confirmation, not required decoration.
