My Layout / Setup

I use TradingView, and these are my indicators and colours.

Tradingview

I use Tradingview for all my chart work. If you would like to learn from me and follow my trade plans and setups, you can sign up for a profile and apply the same indicators that I use.

I recommend to get a Tradingview Plus or Premium subscription.

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

Futures Trading

I share charts and trade futures with the B-ADJ setting turned OFF.

My Setup

My system is designed around pure price action, but I use a series of indicators to inform me while I am planning a trade and once I am in a trade. Below, I will list them one by one.

Colours

Candlesticks:
- Bullish Green colour #0593a5;
- Bearish Sand colour #bbb5a1.

Gradient background
- from light #072734;
- to dark #141823.

EMA clouds
- Bullish Green colour #0593a5;
- Bearish Blue colour #3179f5

EMAMA cloud
- Bullish Blue colour #90bff9 on 30% opacity
- Bearish Red colour #FF0000 on 30% opacity

Transparency for the volume bars is at 45%.

Barkster EMA Clouds

Just modified Ripster clouds, really. Not stolen, fully credited in the open source. I wanted to be able to change colours…

Settings:

Colours

Opacity cloud 1 - 71%, cloud 2 - 45%, cloud 3 - 35%, cloud 4 - 17%

Barkster EMA Clouds - Multi Timeframe

The same as the other clouds, except these can be anchored to a different timeframe.

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

Ehlers MESA Adaptive Moving Average

Instead of having an EMA 5 cloud for fast trend, I use EMAMA (adaptive MA) to replace the DEMA clouds. The working is the same: when these clouds flip, they confirm that the average transaction price supports a reversal.

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.

Squeeze PRO Indicator

This indicator allows us to spot when the Keltner channel compresses inside Bollinger Bands. It is an extra indicator to highlight how much energy a contraction has. This indicator is not a necessity, but I like it, and I use it to decide if I should take partials early, or allow a setup time to play out.

Other Indicators

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

• VWAP, standard settings:

• Ripster MTF clouds - to visualise H1 trend on M2, M5 and M10;

• VRVP, standard settings, to quickly identify support/resistance (volume shelves);

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

• Super OrderBlock, from which I have only activated the pivots, to help spot swing highs and lows. 📂_ https://www.tradingview.com/script/aZACDmTC-Super-OrderBlock-FVG-BoS-Tools-by-makuchaku-eFe/
