MACD Crossover Breakout Rays with VWAP & Breakout Confirmation
Overview
This script is designed to highlight potential strong breakout moves by combining MACD crossovers, VWAP confirmation, and price action breakouts. It helps traders identify momentum shifts and filter high-probability trade setups.
How It Works
1. MACD Crossover Detection
- The script detects bullish crossovers (MACD line crossing above the signal line) and bearish crossovers (MACD line crossing below the signal line).
- A horizontal ray is drawn at the high (bullish) or low (bearish) of the crossover candle.
2. Multi-Timeframe MACD Confirmation
- A secondary MACD crossover is checked on a lower timeframe (default: 5 minutes) to confirm the strength of the move.
- The script ensures alignment between the primary and lower timeframe MACD crossovers before signaling a strong move.
3. VWAP Confirmation
- A bullish breakout is valid only if the price is above the VWAP.
- A bearish breakout is valid only if the price is below the VWAP.
4. Breakout Validation
- The script waits for price action confirmation—a breakout is only valid when a candle closes above (bullish) or below (bearish) the horizontal ray.
- Once confirmed, the ray color changes to blue to signal a strong move.
5. Label Alerts for Strong Moves
- When all conditions align, the script prints "STRONG 💪 MOVE" above or below the breakout candle.
- The previous label is automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
Customization Options
- MACD Settings: Adjust fast/slow lengths and signal smoothing.
- Lower Timeframe Confirmation: Choose a different timeframe for multi-timeframe MACD validation.
- VWAP Filtering: Ensure breakouts align with volume-weighted trends.
- Ray Length & Colors: Customize the horizontal ray length, width, and colors.
- Breakout Confirmation Window: Adjust how many bars to check for MACD alignment.
Best Use Cases
✅ Identifying high-probability breakouts with trend confirmation.
✅ Filtering out false signals by requiring multi-timeframe agreement.
✅ Helping traders stay in momentum-driven moves with strong confirmation.
