While you are preparing your videos I started some EA testing. As I mentioned in a previous video of the series there are too many variables. The indicator by itself has 5 lines but in reality there are more since the KUMO has a future value (actually based on current prices) and a KUMO that is above the current price and it's value is based on Tenkan, Kijun and Sekou Span B that took place 26 periods ago. We also need to add to the above current price to compare it with the lines and price 26 periods ago that will be compared to the Chikou Span. One more thing to consider is the direction of the indicators. If we would like to go long when the Chikou or the Kijun are pointing up we need to calculate previous values to use them for comparison. Overall it is very interesting and I am looking forward for the final outcome. So far it is promising.
At about 9:32 you talk about your algo being able to determine whether you're in chop or not, will you be discussing how to do this in code in future videos?
I noticed something strange thinks When I try to get the value of the Chikouspan 26 bars before. It only works in live mode correct. But not in the backtester. In Backtester i get strange Values. I use this Code for geting the Value : if(CopyBuffer(Ichimoku_handle_Long, CHIKOUSPAN_LINE, 26, 200, Ichimoku_Chikou_Long)
once again a very interesting video and thank you for posting it.

There's a really cool MT4 indicator called something like Kumo cloud breakout histo. Pretty effective but super slow.
