Set Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen to periods 26 and 27, and you’ll notice they’re slightly apart. Adjust both to 27, and they'll overlay perfectly. This tip is to help you avoid any confusion while using the current Indicator.
Tenkan Sen and Kijun Sen Price Labels:
- The Labels are positioned at the bottom right corner but can be moved anywhere on your chart.
- Not in need of them? You can hide the Price Labels easily.
- If you hide the Tenkan Sen or Kijun Sen, the associated Price Label will disappear as well.
To ensure the accuracy of the Price Labels, draw a horizontal line on your chart and set its Parameters - Value to match the price indicated on a TS or KS Label. The horizontal line should line up perfectly with the end of the Tenkan Sen or Kijun Sen based on the Label you choose.
