The Senkou Span Cross signal occurs when the Senkou Span A (1st leading line) crosses the Senkou Span B (2nd leading line).

Chikou Span Cross

The Chikou Span Cross signal occurs when the Chikou Span (Lagging line) rises above or falls below the price.

Note that the Chikou Span must be rising when it crosses to above the price for a bull signal and falling when it crosses to below for a bear signal; just crossing the price alone is not sufficient to trigger the signal.

As the Chikou Span is the closing price shifted into the past, the cross that triggers this signal will be 26 days behind the price and, hence, the actual date that the signal occurs.  The strength of the signal is determined by the relationship of the price on the date of the signal (not the trigger) to the Kumo (Cloud).
