OTM Adaptive Kalman CloudOTM • Adaptive Kalman Cloud — User Guide
OTM • Adaptive Kalman Cloud is a trend + momentum visual tool built around two Adaptive Kalman filters (Fast & Slow). It prints a directional cloud that reacts quickly when the market shifts, but stays smooth enough to keep you out of chop.
What it shows
Fast Kalman = short-term direction / impulse
Slow Kalman = trend baseline / structure bias
Cloud = the “state” of the market (trend vs reversal vs chop)
How to read it
Bullish state
Cloud is bull color
Fast is above Slow (or Fast slope is rising if using slope mode)
Best trades: pullbacks into the cloud + continuation
Bearish state
Cloud is bear color
Fast is below Slow (or Fast slope is falling)
Best trades: pullbacks into the cloud + continuation
Transition / reversal
Cloud flips color after Fast/Slow relationship changes
Treat first flip as warning, confirmation comes from structure/liquidity (your SMC tool)
Settings that matter (don’t overcomplicate it)
1) Lengths
Fast (8–13): quicker signals, more noise
Slow (21–55): cleaner bias, fewer flips
Typical: 8 / 21 (fast scalps) or 13 / 34 (cleaner trend)
2) Color Mode
Fast>Slow: best for trend bias (simple + reliable)
Fast Slope: more responsive, can flip earlier in chop
3) Timeframe + Wait for Close
Set a higher TF (ex: 1H) to use it as bias
Turn on Wait for timeframe closes to stop HTF repaint-style flicker
4) Cloud Thickness
Thickness Mult is visual only (makes the cloud easier to see)
Doesn’t change the Kalman calculation—just visibility
5) Spread (Visual Helper)
Spread is visual only to separate lines when volatility is low
Use ATR spread for most markets
Best way to use it (simple rules)
Only trade in the cloud direction
Entries: wait for price to pull back into/near the cloud, then continue
Exits: when cloud flips against you OR momentum dies and structure breaks
Combine with your SMC: use the cloud as bias, SMC as entry trigger
Recommended presets
Gold / BTC (5m–15m)
Fast 8, Slow 21
Color mode: Fast>Slow
Thickness: 1.6–2.2
Spread: ATR, 14, amount 0.10–0.25 depending on volatility
