For example, if you only need the 30min, the 1H, and 2H, you can set your timeframes as follow:
Risk Management Features

All the features below are pips-based
What's next?
I'll publish this script's open-source Pineconnector, ProfitView, and AutoView versions for educational purposes.
Thank you
Dave

You'll get an exit signal whenever one of the 5 MACDs changes direction. Then, the strategy re-enters whenever all the MACDs are in the same direction again.
It takes:
- long trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bullish
- short trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bearish
You can select the same timeframe multiple times if you don't need five timeframes.
For example, if you only need the 30min, the 1H, and 2H, you can set your timeframes as follow:
- 30m
