Custom Scan Based on Ichimoku
Thinkorswim Scan Ichimoku
Free custom code linked below. Based on the Ichimoku study, this code will let you scan for Cloud Breakouts as well as Trend Continuation signals. The signals are crafted to mirror the techniques taught by Hubert Senters (videos linked below). It will scan for longs or shorts. Each scan signal has two versions. One captures the raw signal and the second adds a filter using the Chikou (Lagging Line) to confirm the bullish or bearish direction. This provides a total of 8 different signals you can use for scans.
Here is a link to the custom code for running the scans in Thinkorswim:

Watch the video, Thinkorswim Scan Ichimoku below:
The written instructions show the scan going in the study.
Are there instructions importing it into the scanning field?
Thanks
It’s all in the video. I just watched this one again to make sure. All you have to do is watch the video from start to finish and don’t skip over anything.
Pete thanks for all you do to help.
I am having a problem loading the scan. When it loads I only get the blue indicator line on the lower section and no cloud.and when I go to change the setting get scan under plots nothing else.
what am I doing wrong
This is not a chart study. This is a scan. You copy and paste the code from the indicator into a scan and use it to scan for signals. This was demonstrated in the video, yes?
Pete, Thank you so much for this. Your tutorial was great and the code works awesome. Ichimoku is my favorite study and I always wished there was a way I could scan for stocks specifically by stocks that have the turning line crossing the standard line. Is there anyway I could use the code to scan for turning/standard crosses above the cloud? Again, thank you for everything.
Is that not covered in the signal named trendContinuationLong and trendContinuationShort? Tenkan crossing the Kijun?
Is there a way to get this study to scan for breakouts in the cloud on a 5min chart?
Ichimoku Cloud breaks, yes. That signal is included in the scan and demonstrated in the video. Did you watch the video?
I cant download the scan. It’s a video format that wont open for me. Anybody else having the same issues?
