ZenAlgo - Haze
Haze is an Ichimoku-inspired trend overlay. It simplifies the relationship between a fast Conversion Line, a slower Mean line, and the projected cloud into a small set of readable states and symbols.
How to read Haze
Start with the two lines:
- Con is the faster Conversion Line. It reacts sooner to changes in price.
- Mean is the slower baseline. It represents the more established direction.
When Con crosses above Mean, short-term direction is improving. When it crosses below, it is weakening. The cloud adds location: a cross inside the cloud occurs in a less decisive area, while a cross supported by price and the lines outside the cloud represents stronger alignment.
The cloud itself is projected forward. Treat it as an area of possible support, resistance, or transition rather than a precise line.
Symbols and states
| Visual | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Up triangle | Con crosses above Mean |
| Down X | Con crosses below Mean |
| Bull | Bullish alignment, but not the strongest cloud and price configuration |
| Super Bull | Stronger bullish alignment with cloud and price context |
| Bear | Bearish alignment, but not the strongest configuration |
| Super Bear | Stronger bearish alignment with cloud and price context |
The triangle and X show the cross itself. The Bull/Bear labels explain the broader state around that cross. Reading both prevents a common mistake: treating every crossover as equally important.
Market presets
Haze includes Crypto and Forex presets. The Crypto preset uses longer default periods (20, 60, 120, displacement 30), while Forex uses the traditional Ichimoku-style defaults (9, 26, 52, displacement 26).
Presets change sensitivity; they do not guarantee that one market will always behave better with one setting. Use the preset as a starting point and judge whether the resulting cloud and crosses fit the timeframe you trade.
Alerts
Haze provides two built-in alerts:
- Bull/Super Bull Alert triggers for either bullish state.
- Bear/Super Bear Alert triggers for either bearish state.
Because each alert groups two states, inspect the label on the chart to see whether the trigger was the normal or Super version.
