ichimoku alternatives
The best ichimoku alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 15, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to ichimoku? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, ichimoku shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About ichimoku
A cloud-chart package quietly swapping its dependencies for its maintainer's own libraries.
ichimoku implements Ichimoku Kinko Hyo cloud charts, strategy backtesting and an OANDA data interface for R. Recent releases are almost entirely plumbing: 1.5.7 drops RcppSimdJson in favor of secretbase for JSON parsing, following earlier releases that moved hashing to secretbase and raised the nanonext and mirai floors. The charting and strategy surface has been stable since the 1.5.0 line.
