Or Bermaui Average Convergence Divergence Cloud, which is an oscillator that shows trend direction and measures its strength in percent. BACD Cloud calculation is as follow:
1- Calculate two exponential moving average. One of them is faster than the other. I will call the first (Fast) and the second (Slow)
2- Find the center between them, where: Center MA = (Fast + Slow) / 2
3- Calculate BACD Line as follow: BACD = 100 * (Fast / Center MA)
4- Calculate the BACD Signal Line, which is an exponential moving average of the BACD. The formula is like this: BACD Signal = EMA (BACD)
5- Hide the BACD Signal line from the chart.
6- Calculate the BACD Histogram Line, which is the difference between the BACD Line and its signal line. (Note: The BACD Histogram is drawn on the chart as a line, not a histogram.)
7- If (BACD Line > BACD Histogram Line) then draw a green cloud, to represent the trend.
8- If (BACD Line < BACD Histogram Line) then draw a red cloud, to represent the trend.
