Logic
On a busy chart, telling whether the market is going up, down or nowhere is not always obvious. Moving averages help, but four crossing lines are hard to read, especially in the middle of a session.
NUMEX Trend Cloud fills the space between the averages to make two coloured clouds: a fast cloud for the current move, a slow cloud for the underlying trend. The EMA 200 changes colour with its slope and turns grey when it goes flat. Dots mark the crosses of the fast averages, and triangles, with an alert, show when the fast cloud crosses the slow one.
On a Renko or tick chart, you can compute the clouds on a minute timeframe, for example 5 minutes, and display them on your usual chart. The closed-bar mode never redraws the past.
Trend Cloud gives you the trend context. The crosses are not entry signals to follow on their own: they help you get your bearings before you make your decision.
Features
- A fast cloud (EMA 9 / 21) and a slow cloud (EMA 100 / 200), green or red depending on trend direction
- The EMA 200 coloured by its slope: rising, falling, or neutral when the market hesitates
- A dot at every cross of the two fast averages
- A triangle and an alert when the fast cloud crosses the slow cloud
- Optional filter: bullish signals only above the EMA 200, bearish signals only below
- Clouds computed on the chart or on a higher timeframe, for example 5 minutes on a Renko chart
Parameters
- Averages: EMA 9 and 21 for the fast cloud, EMA 100 and 200 for the slow cloud
- Source: the chart (default) or a timeframe in minutes (5 by default)
- Higher timeframe: last closed bar (no repaint) or live value (more responsive)
- EMA 200 slope: measured over 3 bars, neutral below a 2-tick change
- Cloud opacity: 35% (fast) and 30% (slow); adjustable colours
- Bullish and bearish sound alerts, re-armed after 60 seconds
