You might try this. I am not the author but found it on Google.

Name: Ichimoku - Lines
Type: Indicator

 
Code
Inputs: Standard (26), Turning (9), DelayColor (Yellow), ShowDelayLine (False); 
Variables: StdLine (0), TurnLine (0), DelayLine (0); 

StdLine = (Highest (High, Standard) + Lowest (Low, Standard)) / 2; 
TurnLine = (Highest (High, Turning) + Lowest (Low, Turning)) / 2; 
Close DelayLine = [Standard]; 

Plot1 (StdLine, "Standard"); 
Plot2 (TurnLine, "Turning"); 
If Close> Then DelayLine 
SetPlotcolor (2, Blue) 
Else 
SetPlotColor (2, DelayColor); 

Then if ShowDelayLine 
Plot3 [Standard] (Close, "Delayed");
Chart style:
Weight PlotName Style
Standard Line thinnest
Turning Line thinnest
Delayed Line thinnest

Chart color:
PlotName Color
Standard Red
Turning Blue
Delayed Magenta

Scaling: Same as symbol.
The second indicator Preceding draw the span lines or clouds. This indicator IS named Ichimoku - Cloud. The indicator Basically Draws Two cyan (bright blue) lines That Represent the cloud. Please note That Before Applying this indicator to a chart, you must set the "space to the right" setting for the chart (in the chart format dialog) Greater Than or Equal to the value of the "standard" input (26 Is The default value).
Here Is The EasyLanguage Used to create the Ichimoku - Cloud indicator. The properties for the indicator Presented are the after the EasyLanguage.

This is not an endorsement, but there seems to be a paid Ichimoku for TS/MC available here - Ichimoku for Tradestation - download free demo indicator

Can't comment on how it works, or any reviews - I just know it exists.

I tried to download the free trial version for multicharts but currently there is only for TS,
I wrote an email to support of the website, and wow I got an answer within 5 minutes.

They said they will upload a trial for multicharts later on today, and that the payed version already supports multicharts.
I tried the free tradestation version - works great!

Has any one ever bought from this web site?
Any information about the quality?

I also found another interesting indicator on the website you recommended - Predictive RSI -
Any one knows how it works?

EasyLanguage cannot display true, continuous shading in a chart. Thats the way it is in TS and I suspect MC as well.

I decided to make my first indicator, very simple a histogram of the Chikou - Close (will soon be equilibrium price). My problem is that I want it to plot on chart 1 in the margins, I have chart set to a 10% margin bottom and indicator 90% top margin.

 
Code
INPUTS: STANDARD(26);

VARIABLES:DELAYPA(0);

DELAYPA = AbsValue(CLOSE - CLOSE[STANDARD]);

PLOT1[26](DELAYPA, "DELAYPA");
But it is behaving a bit strange, keeps re-plotting....

I have no idea what im doing, any help would be appreciated .

Here my version.
You need to modify the SAC and SBC style in the format study (bar high and bar low)
I attached a screenshot.

 
Code
Input:Tenkan(9),Kijun(26) ,Chikou(26),SenkouA(26),SenkouB(52);
Var:TS(0),KS(0),CS(0),SA( 0),SB(0);

Value1 = Highest(H,Tenkan);
Value2 = Lowest(L,Tenkan);

TS = ( Value1 + Value2 ) /2;

Value3 = Highest ( H, Kijun);
Value4 = Lowest (L, Kijun);

KS = ( Value3 + Value4 ) / 2;

SA = ( TS + KS ) / 2;

Value5 = Highest( H , SenkouB);
Value6 = Lowest ( L , SenkouB);

SB = (Value5 + Value6) / 2;


Plot1(TS,"TS",red);
Plot2(KS,"KS",blue);
Plot3[Chikou](C,"CS",cyan);
Plot4[-SenkouA](SA,"SA");
Plot5[-SenkouB/2](SB,"SB");
Plot6[-SenkouA](SA,"SAC");
Plot7[-SenkouB/2](SB,"SBC");

if SA > SB then
begin
SetPlotColor[-SenkouA]( 6, darkgreen ) ;
SetPlotColor[-SenkouB/2]( 7, darkgreen ) ;
SetPlotColor[-SenkouA]( 4, darkgreen ) ;
SetPlotColor[-SenkouB/2]( 5, darkgreen ) ;
end
else
begin
SetPlotColor[-SenkouA]( 6, darkmagenta ) ;
SetPlotColor[-SenkouB/2]( 7, darkmagenta ) ;
SetPlotColor[-SenkouA]( 4, darkmagenta ) ;
SetPlotColor[-SenkouB/2]( 5, darkmagenta ) ;

end ;
Hope it helps.

PS: don't forget to modify the right margin in format windows (>26 bars)
