Ichimoku Kinko Hyo gives you a full structural read, but it stops short of telling you which crosses are worth acting on. Edo Cloud Signal Filter is built around that question: it treats every Tenkan/Kijun cross as a candidate and only lets it onto the chart when the structure around it agrees. The Ichimoku lines — on the 9 / 26 / 52 periods, with the cloud projected 26 bars forward — are the canvas it reads; the filter is the tool.
What it asks of every cross
A raw TK/KJ cross is just two lines touching. Edo Cloud Signal Filter asks four questions before it accepts one: is price on the right side of the cloud, is the cloud pointing the same way, does Chikou confirm, and do the other timeframes agree? The answers come from three coordinated layers — a filtered signal system, a multi-timeframe dashboard and a consensus score — and everything comes from one calculation, so nothing on the chart can contradict the panel.
Layer one: filtered TK/KJ signals
Every Tenkan / Kijun (TK/KJ) cross is confronted against four independent structural filters before it is allowed onto the chart: the side of the cloud, the bias of the cloud, Chikou confirmation and MTF consensus. Only crosses that pass the active filters are drawn as a triangle; the rest are discarded. Each of the four filters can be toggled on or off, so you decide how demanding the system is. The point is not to predict the next move — it is to keep the crosses that agree with structure and drop the ones that do not.
Layer two and three: the MTF dashboard and the consensus score
The multi-timeframe dashboard runs the same state engine on four configurable frames (defaults 1H / 4H / D / W), so you can read the alignment across horizons without jumping from chart to chart. The consensus score condenses that into a single number on a fixed −8 to +8 range, summarizing how aligned the four frames are: strongly positive when the higher and lower frames agree to the upside, strongly negative when they agree to the downside, and near zero when they disagree. A fourteen-row panel and thirteen alerts round out the build.
How to read it, and who it is for
Read it from the top down: the consensus score first, to know whether the frames agree at all; then the active filters on your working frame, to place the context; then the filtered triangles, which only print when a cross survived the structure. It is built for traders who already read the Ichimoku cloud and want the operative crosses separated from the noise across timeframes, rather than a single arrow on a single chart.
