If you don’t want to use Tradingview, you can use ordinary exponential moving averages instead of clouds.

Futures charts are published with the B-ADJ setting turned OFF.

Just using clouds 3 and 4, but activating cloud 1 during times when price is extremely extended (not very often). Opacity on 35%.

Break Out Candles

This indicator helps us isolate which candle is the one on which investors entered the trade. The conditions are:

• Volume is higher than volume EMA;
• Change from previous close or distance between open and close is greater than the ATR Multiplier.

Settings:

MACD Cross Alert

Instead of a traditional MACD indicator, I just use a bullish/bearish cross alert, that produces a triangle at the candle where the cross is forming.

In addition to these essential indicators, I also use the following in addition – but are no requirement:

• VWAP, standard settings;
• EMA100, which is a standard bull/bear filter on any timeframe.
