Strike: Cloud Trend & Signals

Strike is the primary trend-following overlay indicator of the SignalViper suite. It displays a dynamic cloud showing trend direction, generates entry signals, and provides momentum confirmation dots.

What Strike Does

Strike uses a dual-EMA cloud system to visualize trend direction. The cloud expands and contracts based on trend strength, changes color based on direction, and generates BUY/SELL signals when momentum confirms a trend change.

Key Features

  • Trend Cloud - Dynamic cloud that's cyan when bullish, magenta when bearish, with filled area showing trend strength
  • Entry Signals - BUY/SELL labels appear when momentum confirms trend direction change
  • Momentum Dots - Diamond shapes above/below price showing momentum state (strong, weak, or fading)
  • SL/TP Levels - Optional stop loss and take profit lines based on ATR when signals trigger

Understanding Strike

Cloud Reading

  • Cyan cloud - Bullish trend (fast EMA above slow EMA)
  • Magenta cloud - Bearish trend (fast EMA below slow EMA)
  • Expanding cloud - Trend strengthening
  • Contracting cloud - Trend weakening or potential reversal

Entry Signals

  • BUY - Cloud turns bullish + momentum confirms
  • SELL - Cloud turns bearish + momentum confirms

Momentum Dots

  • Bright cyan dots - Strong bullish momentum
  • Bright magenta dots - Strong bearish momentum
  • Faded dots - Momentum weakening

Best Practices

  • Trade in the direction of the cloud color
  • Wait for signals at Fangs support/resistance levels
  • Check Venom for volume confirmation before entry
  • Use Rush chop state—only trade Strike signals when market is CLEAR
