Description
The Kijun Tenkan indicator for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is a trend analysis tool developed with two component lines of the famous Ichimoku’s trading system to generate buy/sell or exit signals. The Tenkan line is the conversion line with the 9-period price, while the Kijun is the baseline with the 26-period price.
What is the Kijun Tenkan Strategy?
The Kijun and Tenkan lines detect the momentum in the market when they cross over to the downside/upside. Therefore, bullish or bearish momentum is signaled when the Tenkan line (conversion line) crosses above/below the Kijun (baseline) to the upside/downside, respectively.
Consequently, the crossover between these two lines (Tenkan and Kijun) also doubles as a signal to buy/sell or exit a trade. However, the indicator’s signal is recommended to be used along with price action/other technical indicators for better efficiency.
