█ OVERVIEW

The EDGE Momentum Cloud is a confluence-based trading system that combines adaptive volatility zones with trend direction analysis to identify high-probability trade setups. Rather than relying on a single indicator, this tool creates a visual "momentum zone" that helps traders understand the current market regime while filtering signals through trend confirmation.

The indicator generates two tiers of signals:
• Standard Signals — Based on trend direction changes
• Premium Signals — Require additional confluence with momentum zone positioning

Premium signals represent higher-conviction setups where multiple factors align.


█ HOW IT WORKS

The EDGE Momentum Cloud combines two core components working together:

❶ MOMENTUM ZONE (CLOUD)
Two ATR-based trailing bands create a dynamic volatility envelope

❷ TREND FILTER
A customizable moving average determines trend direction

❸ SIGNAL ENGINE
Evaluates confluence between trend changes and zone positioning


█ THE MOMENTUM ZONE EXPLAINED

At the core of this indicator are two ATR-based trailing bands that form the "momentum zone":

INNER BAND (FAST)
• Tighter trailing stop using a smaller ATR multiplier (default: 3.0×)
• Reacts quickly to price changes
• Defines the near-term momentum boundary

OUTER BAND (SLOW)
• Wider trailing stop using a larger ATR multiplier (default: 6.0×)
• Provides a more forgiving boundary
• Represents the broader momentum envelope

The space between these bands creates the Momentum Zone—a visual cloud that expands during volatile conditions and contracts during consolidation.

ZONE COLOR INTERPRETATION:
• Green Zone = Bullish bias (bands trailing below price)
• Red Zone = Bearish bias (bands trailing above price)


█ THE TREND FILTER EXPLAINED

A customizable moving average acts as the trend direction filter. When the trend line changes direction (turns up or down), the indicator evaluates whether conditions support a trade signal.

The trend filter supports 13 different calculation methods, allowing you to match the indicator's responsiveness to your trading style:

SMA • EMA • WMA • HMA • VWMA • RMA • LSMA
TMA • DEMA • TEMA • DWMA • SSMA • MEDIAN

Direction is determined by comparing the current value to a previous value (controlled by Direction Smoothing). Higher smoothing values reduce noise and false direction changes.


█ SIGNAL LOGIC

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ STANDARD SIGNALS
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ These trigger when the trend filter changes direction:
│
│ LONG — Trend filter turns from falling to rising
│ SHORT — Trend filter turns from rising to falling
│
│ Standard signals indicate a potential trend change but
│ do not require zone confluence.
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ PREMIUM SIGNALS
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ These require confluence between trend change AND
│ favorable positioning relative to the momentum zone:
│
│ PREMIUM LONG
│ • Trend turns up while filter is ABOVE the zone, OR
│ • Price breaks into/out of zone during recent bullish trigger
│
│ PREMIUM SHORT
│ • Trend turns down while filter is BELOW the zone, OR
│ • Price breaks into/out of zone during recent bearish trigger
│
│ Premium signals have built-in confluence and typically
│ offer better risk/reward setups.

█ VISUAL ELEMENTS

ZONE COMPONENTS
• Inner Band — Fast trailing stop (thin line)
• Outer Band — Slow trailing stop (thick line)
• Zone Fill — Shaded area between bands showing momentum regime

TREND COMPONENTS
• Trend Line — Moving average with slope-based coloring
• Green = Rising trend
• Red = Falling trend
• Purple = Neutral (if color by direction disabled)

SIGNAL MARKERS
• Triangle Up + "Long" — Standard long signal
• Triangle Down + "Short" — Standard short signal
• Label Up + "P.Long" — Premium long signal
• Label Down + "P.Short" — Premium short signal

CROSS MARKERS
• Small triangles appear when price crosses the inner or outer bands
• Up triangles = Price crossing above band
• Down triangles = Price crossing below band

BAR COLORING
• Teal bars = Price above the zone (bullish territory)
• Pink bars = Price below the zone (bearish territory)
• Purple bars = Price inside the zone (transitional)

█ RECOMMENDED USAGE

TIMEFRAME
• Works on any timeframe
• Lower timeframes (1m-15m) generate more signals
• Higher timeframes (1H-Daily) generate fewer, higher-quality signals

BEST PRACTICES
• Keep "Confirmed Signals Only" enabled for live trading
• Premium signals typically offer better risk/reward than Standard
• Use zone position as context—bullish setups above zone, bearish below
• Consider higher timeframe resolution for trend filter to align with broader trend
• Combine with support/resistance or supply/demand for complete trade plans

INTERPRETATION TIPS
• Wide zones suggest increased volatility
• Narrow zones suggest consolidation
• Cross markers at bands can serve as early warnings of regime changes
• Bar colors provide quick visual reference of market position

█ Final Note
This Indicator was designed specifically for the ATR cloud and the levels it provides. The buy and sell signals are a byproduct of development but more of a secondary feature. This product is published so you can take advantage of the proprietary calculations we used to make our own ATR cloud that provides excellent areas of support and resistance.

PLEASE NOTE: The "EDGE MTF ATR Bias Matrix" study that supplies the table notifying you of support and resistance is made through these ATR calculations and would pair perfectly with this study.
