The Ichimoku cloud is traditionally constructed from the highest high and lowest low for a number of periods. This script allows for it to be transformed and calculated like more traditional moving averages (e.g. simple moving average, exponential moving average). Since the Ichimoku is normally a system of moving average-like lines, maybe someone out there will learn something from being able to switch to sma, ema, etc etc.
