Alright, MrTools, I got you.
I didn't know you were very old, either. Lol
But, in the screenshot, I have two IE/2 MA's of different lengths.
This is what I'd call a "cloud".

My simple instructions are as followed:
1) A blue-color chart background is generated when the two MA's are signaling a buy.
2) A red-color chart background is generated when the two MA's are signaling a sell.
3) A gray-color chart background is generated when one MA is red and the other is blue.
