Keep It Simple**Keep It Simple — dominant market force in one glance**
The main goal of this indicator is to show which force is dominant on each candle, through a colored EMA cloud and an intuitive color code. The Bollinger Bands help you read whether volatility is expanding or contracting, and the thickness of the short moving-average line tells you whether a trend exists and whether it is gaining force or not.
A simplified read of structure and direction in a single overlay:
- **Bollinger Bands** (length 21 · deviation 1.3 · EMA basis) with a blue cloud between them — the price "territory". Band lines can stay hidden; the cloud alone keeps the read clean.
- **Short EMA (8)** — the direction line; its thickness increases as the trend gains force (thickness driven by ADX plus a short range index, and only while that force is rising).
- **Long EMA (21)** — hidden by default (toggle-able); it always feeds the state color.
- **Cloud between the EMAs**, painted in the color of the current market state.
**How to read the colors (market state · EMAs and cloud):**
- Green — full up (price above EMA 8 · EMA 8 above EMA 21)
- Blue — pullback in an uptrend (price below EMA 8 · EMA 8 above EMA 21)
- Gray — neutral / transition
- Purple — pullback in a downtrend (price above EMA 8 · EMA 8 below EMA 21)
- Red — full down (price below EMA 8 · EMA 8 below EMA 21)
**Why combine these three?** Bands alone tell you *where* price is working; a plain moving average tells you *which way*; neither tells you *how strong* or *what regime*. Here they are wired together: the bands/cloud give the territory and its volatility, the thick colored short EMA gives direction plus strength in one line, and the shared state color ties price, short EMA and long EMA into a single regime read — so one glance answers where price is, which way it leans, and how strong that lean is.

Fabio Maistro Indicator
Macrodoser Moving Average CloudsMacrodoser MA Clouds is a configurable trend-visualization indicator that plots five independent moving-average clouds—ten moving averages in total—directly on the price chart.
While moving-average clouds are a familiar concept, this implementation is designed to provide a more complete and flexible workspace in a single indicator. Its distinguishing feature is the combination of five separately configurable clouds, multiple moving-average types, optional direction-colored MA lines, customizable visuals, and deliberate cloud layering.
HOW IT WORKS
Each cloud consists of a short moving average and a long moving average calculated from the same selected price source.
• When the short MA is greater than or equal to the long MA, the cloud uses its configured bullish color.
• When the short MA is below the long MA, the cloud uses its configured bearish color.
The optional MA lines have their own directional coloring. Each line uses its bullish color while rising and its bearish color while falling. This means the line colors represent the slope of each individual average, while the cloud color represents the relationship between the short and long averages.
MOVING-AVERAGE OPTIONS
Each cloud can independently use one of five calculation methods:
• EMA — Exponential Moving Average
• SMA — Simple Moving Average
• HMA — Hull Moving Average
• WMA — Weighted Moving Average
• RMA — Running Moving Average
This makes it possible to build an all-EMA ribbon, use a different MA type for each cloud, or create a custom combination for a particular market or trading style.
DEFAULT CLOUDS
The default configuration uses the closing price as the source and EMA calculations with the following short/long lengths:
• Cloud 1: 5 / 13
• Cloud 2: 9 / 13
• Cloud 3: 21 / 50
• Cloud 4: 100 / 200
• Cloud 5: 400 / 800
These defaults provide several views of market structure, ranging from short-term momentum to much longer-term trend context. They are starting points only and can be changed to suit the instrument and timeframe being analyzed.
CUSTOMIZATION
Every cloud includes independent controls for:
• Visibility
• Short and long MA lengths
• Price source
• Moving-average type
• Plot offset
• MA-line visibility
• Rising and falling colors for each MA line
• Bullish and bearish cloud colors
• Color transparency
The MA lines can be hidden for a cleaner cloud-only chart or displayed when the exact averages and their individual directions are useful.
PURPOSEFUL CLOUD LAYERING
The clouds use a deliberate drawing order. Cloud 5 is drawn first at the bottom of the visual stack, followed by Clouds 4 through 1. Cloud 1 is therefore the top layer.
When using the clouds from faster to slower, place the shortest-term pair in Cloud 1 and continue toward the longest-term pair in Cloud 5. This keeps faster clouds visible above slower clouds and produces more intuitive blending when transparent colors overlap.
A different ordering can be used intentionally, but reversing this structure may allow a longer-term cloud to cover shorter-term information.
WAYS TO USE IT
The indicator can help visualize:
• Short-, medium-, and long-term trend structure
• Bullish or bearish alignment across several MA pairs
• Changes in momentum as individual averages turn
• Moving-average crossovers and cloud transitions
• Compression, expansion, and overlap between trend horizons
• Areas where different trend horizons agree or conflict
For example, several bullish clouds stacked above their respective longer averages can indicate broad trend alignment. Mixed cloud states can highlight a transition or disagreement between short- and long-term structure.
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
Moving averages are lagging calculations derived from historical price data. They do not predict future price movement, and cloud transitions can produce false or rapidly changing indications in sideways or volatile markets.
The current, unfinished chart bar can change as new price data arrives. Plot offsets move the display forward by the selected number of bars for visual purposes; they do not provide future information or change the underlying calculations.
Macrodoser MA Clouds does not generate trade entries, exits, or performance claims. It is intended as a visual analysis tool and should be used with appropriate confirmation and risk management. Indicator

Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on PulseWire (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.

Adv EMA Cloud v6 (ADX, Alerts)Summary:
This indicator provides a multi-faceted view of market trends using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) arranged in visually intuitive clouds, enhanced with an optional ADX-based range filter and configurable alerts for key market conditions. It aims to help traders quickly gauge trend alignment across short, medium, and long timeframes while filtering signals during potentially choppy market conditions.
Key Features:
Multiple EMAs: Displays 10-period (Fast), 20-period (Mid), and 50-period (Slow) EMAs.
Long-Term Trend Filter: Includes a 200-period EMA to provide context for the overall dominant trend direction.
Dual EMA Clouds:
Fast/Mid Cloud (10/20 EMA): Fills the area between the 10 and 20 EMAs. Defaults to Green when 10 > 20 (bullish short-term momentum) and Red when 10 < 20 (bearish short-term momentum).
Mid/Slow Cloud (20/50 EMA): Fills the area between the 20 and 50 EMAs. Defaults to Aqua when 20 > 50 (bullish mid-term trend) and Fuchsia when 20 < 50 (bearish mid-term trend).
Optional ADX Range Filter: Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to identify potentially non-trending or choppy markets. When enabled and ADX falls below a user-defined threshold, the EMA clouds will turn grey, visually warning that trend-following signals may be less reliable.
Configurable Alerts: Provides several built-in alert conditions using Pine Script's alertcondition function:
Confluence Condition: Triggers when a 10/20 EMA crossover occurs while both EMA clouds show alignment (both bullish/green/aqua or both bearish/red/fuchsia) and price respects the 200 EMA filter and the ADX filter indicates a trend (if filters are enabled).
MA Filter Cross: Triggers when price crosses above or below the 200 EMA filter line.
Full Alignment Start: Triggers on the first bar where full bullish or bearish alignment occurs (both clouds aligned + MA filter respected + ADX trending, if filters are enabled).
How It Works:
EMA Calculation: Standard Exponential Moving Averages are calculated for the 10, 20, 50, and 200 periods based on the closing price.
Cloud Creation: The fill() function visually shades the area between the 10 & 20 EMAs and the 20 & 50 EMAs.
Cloud Coloring: The color of each cloud is determined by the relationship between the two EMAs that define it (e.g., if EMA 10 is above EMA 20, the first cloud is bullish-colored).
ADX Filter Logic: The script calculates the ADX value. If the "Use ADX Trend Filter?" input is checked and the calculated ADX is below the specified "ADX Trend Threshold", the script considers the market potentially ranging.
ADX Visual Effect: During detected ranging periods (if the ADX filter is active), the plotCloud12Color and plotCloud23Color variables are assigned a neutral grey color instead of their normal bullish/bearish colors before being passed to the fill() function.
Alert Logic: Boolean variables track the specific conditions (crossovers, cloud alignment, filter positions, ADX state). The alertcondition() function creates triggerable alerts based on these pre-defined conditions.
Potential Interpretation (Not Financial Advice):
Trend Alignment: When both clouds share the same directional color (e.g., both bullish - Green & Aqua) and price is on the corresponding side of the 200 EMA filter, it may suggest a stronger, more aligned trend. Conversely, conflicting cloud colors may indicate indecision or transition.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The EMA lines themselves (especially the 20, 50, and 200) can sometimes act as dynamic levels where price might react.
Range Warning: Greyed-out clouds (when ADX filter is enabled) serve as a visual warning that trend-based strategies might face increased difficulty or whipsaws.
Confluence Alerts: The specific confluence alerts signal moments where multiple conditions align (crossover + cloud agreement + filters), which some traders might view as higher-probability setups.
Customization:
All EMA lengths (10, 20, 50, 200) are adjustable via the Inputs menu.
The ADX length and threshold are configurable.
The MA Trend Filter and ADX Trend Filter can be independently enabled or disabled.

EMA/RMA clouds by AlpachinoRE-UPLOAD
The indicator is designed for faster trend determination and also provides hints about whether the trend is strong, weaker, or if a range is expected.
It consists of an exponential moving average (EMA) and a slower smoothed moving average (RMA). I chose these because EMA is the fastest and is respected by the market, while I discovered through practice that the market often respects RMA, and in some cases, even more than EMA. Their combination is necessary because I want to take advantage of the best qualities of both averages. Displaying averages based solely on the close values creates a simple line that the market might respect. However, this is often not the case. Market makers know that many traders still believe in the theory that closing above/below an EMA signals a valid new trend. They commonly apply this belief to EMA200. Traders think that if the market closes below EMA, it signals a downtrend. That’s not necessarily true. This misconception often traps inexperienced traders.
For this reason, my indicator does not include a separate line.
I use what are called envelopes. In other words, for both EMA and RMA, the calculation uses the high and low of the selected period, which can be chosen as an input in the indicator.
Why did I choose high and low?
To stabilize price fluctuations as much as possible, especially to allow enough space for the price to react to the moving average. This reaction occurs precisely between the high and low.
Modes:
EMA Cloud – This is the most common envelope in terms of averages. It shows the best reactions with a period of 50.
What should you observe: the alignment of the envelope or its slope.
Usage:
Breakouts through the entire envelope tend to be strong, which signals that the trend may change. However, what interests you most is that the first test of the envelope after a breakout is the most successful entry point for trades in the breakout direction.
In an uptrend, the first support will be the high of the envelope, and the second (let’s call it the "ultimate support") will be the low of the envelope.
If, during an uptrend, the market closes below the low, be cautious, as the trend may reverse.
If the envelope is broken, trade the retest of the envelope.
In general, if the price is above the envelope, focus on long trades; if it’s below the envelope, focus on short trades.
Double Cloud – Since we already know that highs and lows are more relevant for price respect, I utilized this in the double cloud. Here, I use calculations for EMA and RMA highs and EMA and RMA lows.
The core idea is that since the price often reacts more to RMA than EMA, I wanted to eliminate attempts by market makers to lure you into incorrect directions. By creating more space for the price to react to the highs or lows, I made the cloud fill the area between EMA and RMA highs. This serves as the last zone where the price can hold. If the price breaks above this high cloud during a return, this doesn’t happen randomly—you should pay attention, as it’s likely signaling a range or a trend change.
The same applies to the low cloud for EMA and RMA.
The advantage of the double cloud is that you can see two clouds that may move sideways. This can resemble two walls—and they really act as such.
Usage:
Let’s say we have a downtrend. The market seems to be experiencing a downtrend exhaustion. Here's the behavior you might observe:
The price returns to the EMA/RMA low; the first reaction may still have some strength, but each subsequent return will move higher and higher into the cloud with increasingly smaller rejections downward. This indicates the absorption of selling pressure by bullish pressure. Eventually, the price may close above the cloud, significantly disrupting the downtrend and potentially signaling a reversal.
A confirmation of the reversal is usually seen with a retest of the cloud and a bounce upward into an uptrend.
The second scenario, which you’ll often see, involves sharp and significant moves through both envelopes. This kind of move is the strongest signal of a trend change. However, do not jump into trades immediately—wait for the first retest, which is usually successful. Additional tests may not work, as the breakout might not signify a trend change but rather a range.
When the clouds are far apart, it signals a weak trend or that the market is in a range. You will see that this is generally true. When the clouds cross or overlap, their initial point of contact signals the start of a stronger trend. The steeper the slope, the stronger the trend.

Donchian MA Bands [LuxAlgo]The Donchian MA Bands script is a complete trend indicator derived from the popular Donchian channel indicator as well as various customizable moving averages to estimate trend direction and build support/resistance levels & zones.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator outputs various elements, the main ones being a lower dynamic zone (blue by default), an upper dynamic zone (in orange by default), and one support and resistance level/zones (red/green by default).
A prominent lower zone is indicative of an uptrend, while a prominent upper zone is indicative of a downtrend. These zones can be used as support/resistance as well.
Support/resistance zones and levels can be used using a breakout methodology or to determine price bounced if a level was tested multiple times.
The indicator contains various modes affecting the output of the indicator, described below.
🔹 Clouds
Clouds return one upper/lower dynamic zone and look/act similarly to a trailing stop. Price over the lower zone is indicative of an uptrend, and price under the upper zone is indicative of a downtrend.
🔹 Upper Band
The upper band mode returns a dynamic zone closer to prices during an uptrend, and farther away during a downtrend.
This band can act as a support during uptrends.
🔹 Lower Band
The lower band mode returns a dynamic zone closer to prices during an uptrend, and farther away during a downtrend.
This band can act as a resistance during downtrends.
🔹 Bands
Bands return both upper and lower zones, the zones are more apparent depending on the price trend direction, with uptrends being indicated by a more visible lower zone, and downtrends being indicated by a more visible upper zone.
Breakout dots are highlighted when price breakout the indicator displayed extremities, and can be indicative of a confirmed trend reversal.
These breakouts can be more effective for trend following during trending markets. Ranging markets might return breakouts highlighting the top/bottom.
🔶 DETAILS
The core of this script is the highest / lowest mean average (MA) value for a given number of bars back ( Donchian lines).
This is repeated a few times with the obtained values.
When Bands are chosen ( Style ) this will be repeated 1 more time.
The type of mean average can be customized ( Type MA ), as well as the number of bars back ( Length ).
Depending on the choice of bands ( Style ) the script will focus on certain area's of interest.
When the option Clouds , Upper band or Lower band is chosen, an extra feature, support/resistance (S/R), will be shown.
These color-filled areas are visible when there is a difference between the 2nd and 3rd highest/lowest values.
The lines/areas can be used for stop loss, entry, exit,...
You can set the type of MA and Length separately ( Settings -> S/R ).
If you don't need this feature, simply set Type ( Settings -> S/R ) -> NONE
The shape sometimes resembles triangles, indicating a potential direction
Default the average of the highest and lowest values is plotted (Style -> Mid Donchian)
This can act as potential support/resistance or visualization of the trend, the mean average is not plotted but can be (Style -> MA)
🔹 Note
When the option Bands is chosen, an indication is plotted when the closing price breaks above the highest band or breaks below the lower band. This isn't necessarily a buy/sell signal, it is merely a signal that these lines are broken.
Users should decide on their own how they use the bands/lines/areas as entry, exit, trailing stop, stop loss, profit taking,...
🔶 SETTINGS
