Ichimoku Cloud Lines Explained
The Senkou and The Kumo
“Senkou span” is the name for the borders of the filled cloud, or “Kumo cloud”. The span is filled with green color in case the market is bullish. It will turn red in bearish markets, when the two spans swap.

Senkou lines are major support/resistance areas - they attract the price. Traders set their entries, exits and stops around them - usually leveraging additional information from other indicators.

The TK lines and The TK Cross
The “TK lines”, or Tenken and Kinjun, are the balance lines - fast and slow moving averages.
They are moving averages, so traders will look for their cross when they are looking for a trend reversal. Because of their names, this cross is called “TK cross”.

Nonetheless, TK lines are also important when there is no cross in sight. If the price sticks around them, it signals that the asset is neither overhyped nor underpriced. If the price action travels very far from the TK lines, it signifies the price is way out of balance and a pullback is likely, but it is by itself not a trigger to open a position for the pullback.

In more balanced markets the price stays around these lines and traders watch how it is bouncing off them or crossing them when they are looking for a good entry.

The Chinkou
The “Chinkou” span is a lagging indicator, use it to confirm a trend strength. Chinkou line above the candles means the market is strong. When there is a strong action and the lagging line crosses the candles, it is a sign the trend is weakening and becoming undecided.

The concept of  liquidity   has many facades to it. One way to define liquidity is “the ability of an asset to be converted into cash readily on demand”. An additional way of viewing at it is when any asset can be bought or sold at its fair price. Liquidity thus means that there aren’t discounts or bonuses devoted to it during buy or sell and it’s easy to enter and exit the asset. It is believed as more of an item is accepted and sold, the chances of charging premiums or giving discounts lower and such an asset usually trades around ‘what it is worth’. The forex market is often defined as a liquid market with an average turnover of more than $5 trillion daily as of April 2016 according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) while real estate is a classic example of an illiquid asset. Property as an asset is less liquid, requiring huge investments into physical form, monotonous procedures and smaller market.  Liquidity is significant for any tradable  asset , wh
