VolumeCloudsNYSE:FDX
Volume clouds is a unique tragedy that predicts trend strength with normalized price and volume data, this allows us to quickly respond to small price movements than a traditional EMA cloud stragedy.
How to use:
1. Figure out overall trend direction using color of cloud, green -> bullish & red -> bearish
2. Figure out volume growth and decay using shape of clouds -> Wide cloud? LOTS of volume & Shrinking cloud? volume dying & trend reversal
Cloud
Dziwne Trend Indicator A (EMA + Heikin Ashi cloud)First script ever publish.
It is a very simple trend indicator based on EMAs and Heikin Ashi .
Bollinger Bands Clouds - BB CloudsBollinger Bands Clouds provides Bollinger Bands of different timeframes in a chart.
It actually shows BB from a new angles.
This indicator can show three BB from different timeframes simultaneously.
The idea is to be able to combine different levels of BB from other timeframes in one chart
Each cloud is a Bollinger band whose time frame is a multiple of the current chart time frame. If this multiplier is set to 1, its Bollinger bands will be drawn for the current time frame and will be no different from normal Bollinger bands.
This indicator can be suitable for fractal perspective.
Multipliers can be changed from within the indicator settings:
settings -> mult1, mult2 and mult3
For a dark theme, enable the Dark Theme option from the indicator settings.
Altered True Strength Indicator (TSI) Reupload-
Altered TSI provides a slightly more volatile signal that demonstrates extremities in price action with greater success than standard TSI. In addition, I added bull/bear cross indicators (green/red) to make it easier to notice the crosses to save time when the market is moving fast (I couldn't find a regular TSI script with this addition). Finally, the signal also has overextension parameters (red and green lines)
I think this is best used on Intraday time frames as the signals respond to volatility very well and using Heikin Ashi candles, trend is more visual. In this particular example, I am showing SPY on the 3m time chart (my favorite short time frame) and the signal alone provided many opportunities for trades when using simple divergences and countering overextension direction when short term (blue) signal crosses either
In the first example (purple lines), SPY ramps but it was a dull signal given the signal strength flatlining- we would be looking for a short entry. When the signal fires, it provides a clean $1.50 move down in spy.
In the second example (orange), the blue signal provides a nice V shape (rebound signal) in which we are looking for a long entry. 390.50 is a strong SPY support in confluence with 2nd std dev VWAP extension, but disregarding that bull signal fires resulting in a 2 dollar move upwards. Exit is provided when blue line crosses green overextension.
In the third example (white), we are searching for a short entry at 392.5 resistance in confluence with divergently higher highs. Bear cross signal when fired and a significant cross is visible provides a $2.50 move to the downside with a potential exit provided when blue line crosses red overextension line in confluence with previous LOD area.
In the fourth example (green), we watch as the blue line provides a V pattern, we are searching for a long entry. If you didn't take a riskier long at 2nd std dev VWAP overextension with V recovery on blue line at red overextension for a ride to vwap, then you are looking for a secondary entry long as you wouldn't take the trade at resistance (vwap). Bullishly divergent lows provide this entry and the signal does not bear cross at all (but looking for significant crosses is more important even if the signal were to make a minor bear cross). Bullishly divergent double bottom provides a long entry to end of day with a nice clean signal for a $5.00 move until eod or when signal crosses overextension range.
Ideally, close to the money options or SPY/SPXS/SPXL are best used in the intraday time frame.
Again, this is not a standalone indicator but it's best used in conjunction with other indicators/trading strategies

Moving Average CloudThis moving average cloud is comprised of 7 individual moving averages; those averages are rendered as a cloud, using the minimum and maximum value of all the averages as the lower and upper boundaries. It's basically a moving average ribbon, without all the individual MA lines cluttering the view.
By rendering as a cloud, this allows other potentially useful lines to be rendered within the cloud; a middle line is rendered, along with "mid high" and "mid low" lines.
The following parameters are available:
Min MA Length - the shortest MA window represented by the cloud
Max MA Length - the largest MA window represented by the cloud
Mid-High - the location of the mid-high line within the cloud
Mid-Low - the location of the mid-low line within the cloud
MA Type - you can choose between SMA, WMA and EMA moving average types
Interpretation:
When the price is above the cloud, this indicates a bullish trend.
When the price is around the middle, trend could be transitioning.
When the price is below the cloud, this indicates a bearish trend.
Use in confluence with other indicators.
MACD BandsThis is MACD indicator on the price chart. You can read the same information as the original MACD but much more.
You can use it the same way as MACD but it won't use any space below your chart. Also you can use signal line and cloud as trend confirmation: e.g. if above them it can be a stronger uptrend.
The signal line (yellow by default) can be used as a support-resistance line.
If teal line is above maroon line, MACD is positive, otherwise it is negative
MACD value is the width of the cloud
Cloud color is green when MACD histogram is positive, red if negative
You can change MA types
MACD and histogram values can be seen in Data Window
Blue CloudTrend Indicator
- Based on 4h 50/200 ma/ema
- Static, same accross all timeframes
- Works best with trending assets (espacially altcoins)
- 4h 50/200 ma/ema 's are transparent by default but can be enabled to improve visibility
Blue Cloud = Bullish, cloud often acts as support
Red Cloud = Bearish, cloud often acts as resistance
Everything RSIThis indicator includes:
RSI Candles set to the default 14 length (un check Borders in the Style tab to see the candlesticks better)
I like using the wicks as an early warning for a possible trend change, which is generally in the opposite direction of the wicks.
It's also easier for me to draw trend lines using the RSI Candles vs the rsi plot line.
40 ema of the RSI Candles
2nd RSI set to the 20 length , which plots just inside the wicks of the RSI Candles. This RSI also highlights Oversold and Overbought levels.
I sometimes leave the RSI Candle Borders checked and use the 20 RSI plot with the wicks of the RSI Candles
Signals to look for Short or Long opportunities , which use the 5 sma of the RSI Candles crossing under the overbought and over the
oversold levels. If you'd like to plot the 5 sma, remove the // at the beginning of the code on line 72.
3nd RSI set to the default 14 length which can be set to a different timeframe as the current chart. Default setting is the 1h.
This RSI plots a + at the top of the indicator when it's above the 50 level and an x at the bottom of the indicator when it's below the 50 level.
For me, this is just a visual aid when I'm scalping on lower timeframes.
If the 1h RSI is above the 50 level, I focus on long scalps. If the 1h RSI is below the 50 level, I focus on short scalps.
RSI Cloud which is formed by filling in the area between the 14 ema of both the 7 RSI and 28 RSI.
I used part of @FnM_Capital 's Trend-Sniper script for my RSI Candles. Thank you! You're extremely talented and deserve all of the credit for your work.
I'd also like to thank @SeanNance for answering all of my random coding questions!!!
I've added the indicator to the example twice to show a couple of the ways I view the RSI's.
The top indicator shows the RSI Candle Borders "un checked" and without the 2nd RSI plot.
The bottom indicator shows RSI Candle Borders "checked", using 2nd RSI plot with the RSI Candle Wicks.
Ichimoku with offset includedBased on the idea that some Donchian Channels in trading books have a lookback or offset of 1 in order to use it as a sort of trailing stop or so that the channels don't adjust. Ichimoku's Tenkan and Kijun lines have a very similar formula to Donchian Channels. In case anyone wants to use those lines as a sort of more fixed trailing stop, offset the Kijun, Tenkan, Span B, and/or treat it like Donchian Channels and such in the Ichimoku system, I included an offset of 1 as the default. To change this indicator to a standard regular looking Ichimoku, just change the offset value to 0.
The formula seems a bit different to what Tradingview has for their own version of Ichimoku but it's the same as many other programmers here. I made the colors as close to the traditional colors seen in books and other places and Tradingview as much as I could think of. Ichimoku has many different variations out there and to add the the confusion can have many different strategies to go with it. If you have any suggestions or tips, please let me know.
Different Donchian PeriodsHi!
This is a very simple script that I couldn't find on TradingView yet. Look at this indicator how you want (band, cloud, ma's) and create your own settings, I did not test it.
Normally, Donchian average calculates the average(middle) of the highest point of a given period and the lowest point of that same period.
Here I use two separate periods, one for highest, a different one for lowest. That's it :)
Let me know if it's useful to you, I appreciate your comments.
21/55 EMA Cloud w/ Optional RibbonThis indicator behaves like a traditional EMA ribbon by using the 21, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 bar exponential moving averages. In this particular indicator, the traditional EMA ribbon lines are turned off by default leaving only a filled in area between the 21 and 55 bar averages. The filled in area is green when the 21 bar average is greater than the 55 and red otherwise. Additionally, the 9, 100, and 200 exponential moving averages are available for reference.

The simplest way to use the cloud;
-When the cloud flips from above to below (support), close any shorts and open a long
-When the cloud flips from below to above (resistance), close any longs and open a short
-Cloud is flipped based on a breakout on the high / low
-Most effectively used on the daily, but can be used on any time frame
-For traditional markets, an input of 20 is most commonly used
-For 24/7 markets, an input of 28 is most commonly used
-Find an input that makes the most sense to you!

Ichimoku Cloud - AlertsIchimoku cloud
IC is a trend - following system with an indicator similar to moving averages
It predicts price movements
Offers a unique perspective of support and resistance levels.
Conversion Line (Turning Line)
- Measures Short Term Trend
- SIgnals an area of minor support and resistance
Base Line (Confirmation Line)
Measures Medium term trend
Used as Trailing Stop Level.
Lagging Span (Lagging Line)
Used for Confirmation of signals
Can also serve as Support and Resistance Level
Kumo Cloud
Formed of two lines: Span A (Green Line) and Span B (Red Line)
Dynamic Support and Resistance .
HOW TO READ ICHIMOKU INDICATOR
Conversion Line
If the Market Price is above the Conversion Line = Short Term Upward Movement
If the Market Price is below the Conversion Line = Short Term Downward Movement
Increasing Conversion Line = Upward Short Term Trend
Decreasing Conversion Line = Downward Short Term Trend
Base Line
If the Market Price is above the baseline = Medium - term upward trend
If the Market price is below the baseline = Medium - Term downward Trend
Increasing Base Line = Upward Medium term trend
Decreasing Base Line = Downward Medium Term Trend
Lagging Span
The Evolution of the current price action in relation to previous price action
If the Lagging span is above the current price = Bullish Bias
If the Lagging span is below the current price = Bearish Bias
Lagging span near the current price = Trading range
Kumo Cloud
Dynamic Support and Resistance based upon price action.
The longer the price stays below/above the Kumo cloud, the STRONGER the trend is.
When the cloud is wide, the expected support or resistance is strong
When the cloud is thin, the expected support or resistance is weak
Never trade inside the KUMO CLOUD.
HOW TO TRADE WITH ICHIMOKU CLOUD
Baseline and conversion Line crossover (Lagging Span as a Filter)
crossover(conversion line, baseline) = Buy
crossunder(conversion line, baseline) = Sell
FILTER
crossover(conversion line, baseline) and lagging span is Bullish (i.e above the price) = Buy
Crossunder(conversion line, baseline) and lagging span is Bearish (i.e below the price) = Sell
2. Baseline - Conversion line crossover (Kumo cloud Filter)
crossover(conversion line, baseline) above the Kumo Cloud = Strong Buy
crossover(conversion line, baseline) below the Kumo cloud = Weak Buy
crossunder(conversion line, baseline) below the Kumo Cloud = Strong Sell
crossunder(conversion line, baseline) above the Kumo Cloud = Weak Sell
3. Kumo Cloud Breakout
When the price enters the Kumo Cloud, and breaks its Upper wall upward = Bullish Signal
When the price enters the Kumo Cloud, and breaks its Lower wall downward = Bearish Signal
4. Kumo Cloud Crossover
When Span A cuts the Span B from below to the upside and prices are positioned above the Kumo Cloud = Strong Buy Signal
When Span A cuts the Span B from upside to the bottom and the prices are positioned below the Kumo Cloud = Strong Sell
When Span A cuts Span B from bottom to the upside and prices are positioned below the Kumo Cloud = Weak Buy Signal
When Span A cuts Span B from the upside to the bottom and the prices are positioned above the Kumo Cloud = Weak Sell Signal.
NOTE:- Some of the signals collide with each other, but they collide for the same call, so shouldn't really be a problem overall. Let me know if you have any suggestions to nullify the trading Range. Though I do plan on adding my Renko code to it for filtering out Trading Range.
Donchian Cloud - evoA cloud based on the highest high and lowest low of a given period (Donchian), same lines used in Ichimoku Cloud (Conversion line or Base line).
Short term line is based on current time frame, long term line is based on your given multiple of current time frame.
The color of the lines is based on up or down movement.
I stole a piece of code from PineCoders for the multiple time frame:
I have not used this in my trades (yet) so I don't know how good it is, just posting because it looks nice :)
Feel free to share your settings if you can find good ones.
Variable Cloud - evoA Super Trend based on the high and low of a Moving Average, to get an easy view what the current trend is and where to buy and sell.
TIPS
- The 'Closing Source' option is the candle value that triggers the clouds. 'High/Low System' means that a downtrend is over when the candle LOW closes greater than the downtrend (dark cloud), an uptrend is over when the candle HIGH closes less than the uptrend (light cloud). The other options speak for themselves.
- Ideally place your stop loss outside the cloud, as you want to stay in the trend until it breaks to the opposite direction (but that's up to you of course).
- Reversal trades are low probability, you can see them as reversals or ranging before the market continues, I like to lower my risk on those set ups till it breaks the dominant trend.
Here are the scripts I used:
Everget's SuperTrend
LazyBear's VMA
Thanks LazyBear and Everget, I learn a lot from your scripts :)
Variable SuperTrend - evoPlayed around with Lazy Bear's VMA and Gunazzi's SuperTrend Cloud .
It plots an uptrend if the low of a candle gets above the recent downtrend and plots a downtrend if the high of a candle gets below the recent uptrend, you have to wait for the candle to close to confirm the actual trend change.
I use it to give me a direction for longs or shorts, not as a stop/reverse indicator.
Thanks Lazy Bear and Gunazzi :)
BEST Cloud ALL MAHello traders
Hope you're all doing well
This script is a generic cloud generator using a pre-selected set of moving averages (I probably forgot a lot but listed all the ones I used at least once).
A cloud is a visual representation of the gap between two moving averages - it shows right away how big in that gap (=how far they are from each other)
The challenge is to find a cloud such as the price often stay stuck between those 2 MA - and when it's getting finally out (up or down), it would be strong enough to signal a beginning of a trend.
This is a cool intellectual challenge for all aspiring traders
For that script, I defined a trend according to how the 2 MAs are located relative to each other (MA1 > MA2 or MA1 < MA2) and if the price gets out of the cloud.
You'll get :
- the option to color the candles based on a trend
- cool triangles entry signals
- and alerts on those triangles
All the BEST
Dave
SuperC BF 🚀Based on some code from noro and kiasaki - thank you.
A Super Trend is a trend over a long period of time. There are lots of existing scripts that generate signals based on the overall direction of an instrument. What if we combined this idea with a measure of Money Flow and added a filter to try to avoid choppy sideways action?
I started with a super trend foundation and added an MFI calculation to account for volume flowing into and out of the asset. Then added a Rate of Change function to stay out of trades when there is not much up/down movement.
INSTRUCTIONS
Bright green background = go long
Bright red background = go short
COLOR OVERVIEW
A white background means we don't trade
A green background means we have a long condition
A red background means we have a short condition
The cloud is green when we have a long condition, red when we have a short condition.
The cloud is yellow if we should be in a long already but the current candle is not satisfying all long conditions.
The cloud is orange if we should be in a short already but the current candle is not satisfying all short conditions.
The line at the bottom is MFI - this is green when the current candle is greater than the last, red when it is less than the last.
SIGNAL GENERATION
A long condition is when MFI > MFI AND we are not in a choppy market AND when price is above the super trend.
A short condition is when MFI < MFI AND we are not in a choppy market AND when price is below the super trend.
We use a fixed Stop Loss of 2% here on the daily timeframe for XBT/USD.
If we get stopped out from a long and we still have the conditions for a long, we re-enter. Same for short.
Cloud Breakout BFBased on code by nathanhoffer
Long signal is after a close above Kumo cloud, short signal after close below it.
You can adjust stuff in the settings.
SuperTrend Cloud StrategyExperimental strategy to improve accuracy of SuperTrend Cloud. I am attempting to use STD deviation to manipulate the multiplier of the SuperTrend cloud. Greater STD Deviation = Oscillation in price action which can be applied to multiplier of SuperTrend to filter out bad trades and improve accuracy.
Volume Cloud [LucF]A strictly volume-based cloud. It plots current volume (green line) over its 20-period linear regression (red line) on the chart. Unlike Ichimoku's cloud, it is not offset. While probably not something that you would have on your charts all the time, it can provide a useful way to study the interaction between price and volume.
Because the green line is the current volume, you can forego volume columns when using the indicator.
Volume Cloud does have practical uses. I will show here how I use volume to help me in selecting better probability entries, with only Volume Cloud and my TLD indicator on the chart (the Volume Columns are there to provide context for first-time users of the Volume Cloud).
When looking for entries, I’m trying to find spots where a reversal from a bottom or a continuation after a pause is confirmed by increasing volume (preferably above average) candles with proper wick/body structure. The candle structure of increasing volume candles is important because for me, it provides granularity on the volume action during the candle. I view wicks as failed tests and body height as reinforcement of the price movement. As for candles where volume is not increasing, I mostly ignore them. This is a simplified account of my mindset; just the stories I trade with and that I believe provide an edge—and profits. I certainly don’t pretend having found an infallible way to trade, and there is much more to it that I can explain here, but let’s look at a chart.
Point 1: Solid increasing volume and above average down candle, but I don’t enter on big candles. The volume on that candle has reached a new high though, so I’m thinking bearish sentiment for the next bars.
Point 2: Nicely formed above average increasing volume candle, but I’m looking to short. A similar’ish candle 4 bars back was followed by non-descript action. After 2, a test of past resistance fails before reaching it and a lower low and then a lower high bring us to point 3.
Point 3: Exactly what I’m looking for. No upper wick, solid body that’s not too big, and the highest volume reached on chart yet as a bonus. I enter on the following candle and because of the solid context, I can use a tight stop at the previous candle’s high. Going down, I will move my stop to the high of any increasing volume candle going in my direction, starting when that point is at least as far from my entry as my stop (RR=1).
Point 4: This is the last point where I move my stop at the candle’s high and get stopped out at the following candle for a RR=3.75 trade. Notice how the very high volume at point 4 generates a relatively small body. This is often a sign of stopping volume that portends a reversal or a pause.
Point 5: A first above average increasing volume candle, but with longish wicks that don’t fit my idea of a solid candle. Definitely not a strong enough sign to bet on a reversal from the recent strong descent.
Point 6: This candle is a different story altogether. No lower wick, reasonably sized body, double the volume of previous candle and a close way above the previous 20 candles. Long entry with stop at candle 6’s low. I don’t move my stop on the candle following my entry because it wouldn’t put me at RR=1, so the first time I move my stop up is at candle just before point 7.
Point 7: I get stopped out for RR=3 after that candle because I will have moved my stop a second time, at candle’s 7 low.
I didn’t make these trades (can’t even short on Binance yet), and while this is a typical a posteriori story, it does reflect what I do in reality.
