The rules
- Tenkan-sen: the midpoint of the 9-day high and low. Kijun-sen: the same over 26 days.
- Cloud: senkou span A, (tenkan + kijun) ÷ 2, and span B, the 52-day midpoint, both plotted 26 days ahead. Today’s cloud was calculated 26 days ago.
- vs cloud: the close above the cloud top, below the cloud bottom, or inside. Cloud break: the close leaving the cloud in the last 5 daily closes.
- TK cross: tenkan crossing kijun in the last 5 closes. Future cloud: span A above span B in the cloud drawn today (bullish).
- All bullish: close above the cloud, tenkan above kijun, the close above the high of 26 bars ago (chikou span clear) and a bullish future cloud.

Frequently asked questions
Which Ichimoku settings does it use?
The standard 9, 26 and 52 on daily candles, for every market, including 24/7 crypto. Some crypto traders use 20, 60 and 120; this screener sticks to the classic settings.
Which markets can it scan?
Four, picked with the Market buttons above the table. Crypto (the default) scans the 250 busiest USDT pairs on Binance. Crypto perps scans the 200 busiest USDT perpetual futures on OKX. Both are free public data and need no key. US stocks scans about 600 US stocks and ETFs with your own free Alpaca key, and CME futures scans about 25 front-month CME Group contracts (stock indexes, Treasuries, oil, gas, metals, grains, livestock, currencies and CME bitcoin) with your own free Massive key.
Why do stocks and futures need a key?
Stock and futures prices are licensed data, so a website can’t hand them out for free. Alpaca (for stocks) and Massive (for futures) give anyone a free data key. Your key is saved only in your browser and sent only to that provider. See how to get a free Alpaca key and how to get a free Massive key for futures.
Is the data real-time?
Crypto and crypto perps are live from Binance and OKX, on daily candles that start at 00:00 UTC (today’s candle is still forming). Alpaca’s free stock data is 15 minutes behind the market, and Massive’s free futures plan is 8 hours delayed. Turn on auto-refresh next to the results to update the table in place every 30 seconds, minute or 5 minutes.
