"Beyond the Clouds: An Introduction to MA Convergence Indicator"
- When the price pierced above the cloud, the cloud turned a vivid red. “Bullish signal!”
- Conversely, when the price sank below the cloud, the cloud turned blue. “A sign of weakness…”
- When the price is inside the cloud, it remains white. “Does this mean the market is neutral at this time?”
Chapter 1: Trader Akira’s Worries and the Appearance of the “Cloud”
Akira had been watching charts every day for three years as a FX trader.
Recently, however, he struggled with always reacting late to sharp market moves and his win rate was slipping.
“It’s a hassle to check multiple moving averages at the same time, and I have no idea when they will converge or when the trend will change… ”
As he murmured at his midnight desk, his smartphone vibrated.
What arrived from a trading colleague was an introduction email for the MA convergence indicator “Kinzuun” (Cloud).
“Create a ‘cloud’ with five MAs to visualize the trend? It even has a notification feature?”
Intrigued, Akira quickly installed it on MT5. When five MAs were drawn on the chart, a few minutes later — the moment three or more MAs drew near, a colored band widened.
“Is this… the cloud?”
Chapter 2: The Cloud’s Color Reveals the Market’s Expression
Akira began testing how to use the indicator. At first, he didn’t understand why the cloud’s color changed, but as he compared charts, a pattern emerged.
One day, on the EUR/USD chart, the cloud suddenly shone red, and a notification arrived on his phone at the same time.
“Cloud appears! Possibility of a bullish trend.”
Akira immediately placed a buy order and secured profits as the price rose.
“This isn’t something you can only see with your eyes. It’s powerful that you can follow it with notifications even when you’re busy!”
Chapter 3: Real-time Monitoring and Qualitative Improvement of Trading
Akira gradually began adjusting the indicator’s settings.
By lowering the value of “Convergence_Pips” slightly, the conditions for displaying the cloud became stricter, reducing false signals.
Furthermore, by enabling email notifications, he wouldn’t miss important convergence moments even while away from his desk.
One weekend, while backtesting past data, he noticed something.
The timing when the cloud changed from white to red often aligned across multiple timeframes, after which a strong trend would follow.
“Monitoring this across multiple timeframes will improve accuracy even more!”
Six months later, Akira’s win rate had noticeably improved.
“Previously I relied on a gut feel to check for MA convergence, which caused many mistakes, but this indicator’s ‘cloud’ teaches me visually, making judgments smoother.”
Having written that impression in his notebook, Kinzuun became a new “guide” to navigate the market’s rough seas for Akira.
