MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Mon Jul 26, 2010 4:12 pm
The relationship between moving average determines the color of the clouds. We distinguish 4 cases. Short & Long Growing Growing Short & Long Falling Falling Short & Long Growing Short & Long Falling
MTF Inddicator that accompanies cloud Indicator, will show Slope of clouds moving averages, for all selected time frames.

Hi Apprentice, Great job as usual.
Could you, possibly, ad Volume Adjusted Moving Average to the drop down list in this indicator?
Thanks a million.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Jigit Jigit · Wed Oct 20, 2010 2:14 pm
Also, on second thoughts,
It would be very nice if someone could make this indicator actually display the two moving averages used (perhaps in darker colours). That would make the cloud even more aesthetically pleasing.
Thanks a lot.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Jigit Jigit · Fri Oct 22, 2010 6:18 am
Dear Apprentice, Please, please, could you add to the drop down list of moving averages in your Cloud the Non-lag Moving Average as posted by Alexander Gettinger here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2231&p=5006&hilit=non+lag+ma#p5006
Thank you.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Fri Oct 22, 2010 12:35 pm
Update
Non-lag Moving Average Added VAMA Added Show MA Line Option Added Set Transparency Option Added Price Type Option Added
Note. To use ZeroLagMa Download RC1 Version of this indicator. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2231&p=5455#p5455
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Jigit Jigit · Fri Oct 22, 2010 7:10 pm
I just can’t find words to thank you enough Apprentice. Well, once again, thanks a million.
Two issues regarding this indicator:
-
In the drop-down list for “Method One” VAMA is still missing.
-
(Of crucial importance) Has anyone experienced problems with Trading Station/Marketscope while using this indicator. On my PC, the cloud, literally, seems to kill the charts. This is what happens:
- I add the Cloud to a plain candlestick chart.
- It does load but:
a) It spreads itself only over several dozens of candles (60-100 candles at most). I have to drag the chart back manually to actually make the cloud draw itself back beyond that. That in itself wouldn’t be strange but once I drag , say, an M15 chart about a month back, it basically stops responding to the cursor moves and Marketscope, quite literally, freezes. Not to mention that it keeps crashing the whole Trading station every now and then, that is when loaded on several charts at the same time (say 8-12 charts).
I don’t think it is due to some hardware issues (I work on an Intel Core i3 CPU 3GHz with 4 GB RAM and I checked the system performance during those hang-ups: CPU usage doesn’t exceed 40%, neither does Memory usage exceed 50%). Would it be because of my 64-bit Windows 7?
b) The Cloud seems to have problems while working on the Non-Lag MA indicator. That is to say, it doesn’t seem to be happy with anything above 100 periods. For example, drawing a cloud based on the famous 200 periods (Non-Lag MA) is rather problematic - more often than not it simply doesn’t work.
Ant suggestions guys. Please help me out. Cheers

Hi Apprentice, Any progress on this cloud indicator?
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Fri Oct 29, 2010 12:57 pm
I have two remedys for you To try it out. First install the last patch. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2337 Install the latest version of NonLagMA.
This should help.
As for scrolling backwards. Currently there is no help for it. Some indicators require more data input than others. NonLagMa is one of them.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Jigit Jigit · Sun Oct 31, 2010 3:52 pm
Cheers mate, I really like this Cloud of yours and I’d love to use it. But for some reason it does slow things down too much. Especially when I load it up to several charts at one time. I work with multiple screens, so I would need it at as many as 12 charts simultaneously. Which makes me think, is this just one of the limitations of Marketscope?
Whenever I load multiple instances of an indicator like this Cloud here or Non-lag Moving Average at all of my 12 charts, Marketscope tends to struggle. It freezes much too often. Hmm, I don’t know. Or is it a matter of the indicators I use? Is there something wrong with them? (Again as I said before I don’t think it is related to some harware issues).
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Sun Oct 31, 2010 5:26 pm
Would not advise that you use non-standard indicators. They often in the calculation use other indicators. So that retrieval of such data can take, especially if you have 12 chart.
This is especially true for NonLagMA.

SNT1983 · Fri Nov 05, 2010 7:18 am
Hi all!
can you do a strategy on this cloud system?
1)Buy 0,10 lot when EMA13 cross up MA34 at market price with take profit at 100 pips and stop-loss at 150 pips. And Exit from position if cloud change colour!
2)Sell when EMA13 cross down MA34 at market price with Take Profit at 100 pips and stop-loss at 150 pips. And Exit from position if cloud change colour!
you understand me?
let me know please.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Fri Nov 05, 2010 7:21 am
This is possible using MA Strategy. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2602 Sorry, Exit from position if cloud change colour!, this is not possible

Could you develop an MTF version of this? something that says we are up in and uptrend, down in uptrend, down in down trend and up in downtrend for multiple time frames?
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Sat Mar 30, 2013 11:10 am
MTF Cloud added to topmost, first post of this Topic.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
speakinmymind · Sat Mar 30, 2013 9:01 pm
Thanks! This is a great indicator!
I was wondering if there was an MTF similar to this one that only uses one moving average. The closest thing to it was MTF 200SMA CCI20 but there was no visual indicator.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
speakinmymind · Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:12 am
Could you please develop an indicator that displays the following information for the moving averages of the cloud?
Upper cloud price (and distance in pips from current price)
Lower cloud price (and distance in pips from current price)
Last time of price touch
Thanks!

Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Patrick Sweet · Mon Feb 17, 2014 8:19 am
Thank you. I found this. It looks like it is good.
As you know, I use the latest VIDYA, well that is missing.
I use other MAs as well.
Rather than a duck chase of Vidya plus parma plus…..
Is it possible to modify this to select two sources from the marketscope screen that is open?
It looks to be exactly what I am looking for otherwise.
Patrick
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Tue Feb 18, 2014 5:45 am
If i modify it to be a tick-based, you can select one source, which can be, for example indicator, as source for both moving averages. Another way is to add build in indicator/price, selector as an alternative source for moving average.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Tue Feb 18, 2014 6:33 am
Plese Try MA Cloud with Alternatively Source.lua
U can select MA`s or other Indicators as Cloud source, Select Indicator under Type.
Vidya Added as well.

Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Apprentice · Wed Feb 19, 2014 3:56 am
If you choose RSI, for example. In can be outside of chart area, values are from 0 to 100 will be similarly for the other indicator, moving averages of price are the only safe bet.

Hi gents, I’ve tried to use the cloud with nonlagma but get this error:
Cloud.lua:153: The indicator with id NONLAGMA is not found. I’ve used nonlagma in the past so its there. I redownloaded the nonlagma and still nothing. Any clues? Would like to be able to use ssnonlagma with the cloud as well if you could add that to the list
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud

Hello,
Would it be possible to use cloud-Averages for other data sources, such as RSI.
Thank you very much for your great work.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
TxChristopher · Tue Jun 17, 2014 8:56 am
Can you please modify this cloud so that there is an option to color based purely on the relationship of the two moving averages? In other words its one color when one average is higher than the other and is another color when they swap, without all the updown downup that forces the striping that it currently does.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud

Hi Apprentice,
This is a great indi, but is it possible to modify it or Cloud_Averages so to incorporate a Shift function for at least one of the 2 averages.
For example I would like to emulate the TMS averages in which the averages might be 3EMA Typical, Shift 0 and 5EMA Typical, Shift 3.
Many Thanks, AG
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud

Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
amazon1a · Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:05 am
Hi Apprentice,
Thanks for the additional Shift functionality. The fit is not quite as tight against the EMA lines as your other Clouds but more than good enough for my needs.

Hi Admins,
Thanks for the most recent update to this cloud .lua using only 2 colours, It’s great and I use this lua file on the majority of my charts, though would it be possible to include the option to disable/enable the MA lines similar to the previous version, as I personally don’t need the lines displayed as I simply take my orientation from the colour?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Apprentice, that is such an amazing indicator, I have been looking for a similar one for along time. I really appreciate your perfect work. furthermore, I have a request if you could kindly help me, could you add alert to the alternatively source cloud upon the MA crosses.
Thank you so much in advance.

Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Mohamed85 · Thu Aug 25, 2016 6:51 am
Hi Apprentice, can you please have a quick look on the added alert, I have applied the cloud to an indicator and even i have checked the “alert once” box, it keeps generating alerts for every tick change, like when the price oscillates around the cross within the candle it keeps generating alerts, it could exceed 50 alert per one signal which paralysis the market scope. I hope you can help me by solving this issue.

I have tried to debug the file it gave error in line 355, but I couldn’t do anything about it, I hope you can find sometime to check it please.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Mohamed85 · Tue Aug 30, 2016 10:14 pm
I hope you can find some time to check the alert please, The e-mail, pop-up message that shows the details (time, and signal type) snd the sound alert are not working. only a warning message appears on the cross. Thank you for all your support and help in advance.
Re: MVA/EMA Cloud
Mohamed85 · Tue Aug 30, 2016 10:30 pm
As a matter of fact, the indicator has sent e-mails for a couple of times, i’m not quite sure based on what. As it did not send emails when started then it sends on thse incidents then stopped again. Thanks for bearing with me.
