MACD Divergence Optimizer# MACD Divergence Optimizer - User Guide
## Overview
The **MACD Divergence Optimizer** is a professional-grade technical analysis indicator for TradingView that automatically detects hidden divergences on MACD with volume weighting. It identifies potential reversal points before price action confirms the move, giving traders an early edge.
---
## What is Divergence?
A **divergence** occurs when price and an oscillator (like MACD) move in opposite directions:
- **Bullish Divergence**: Price makes a lower low, but MACD makes a higher low → Potential uptrend reversal
- **Bearish Divergence**: Price makes a higher high, but MACD makes a lower high → Potential downtrend reversal
Divergences are among the most reliable reversal signals in technical analysis.

## Indicator Features
### Volume-Weighted MACD
- Standard MACD is calculated on closing price
- This indicator uses **volume-weighted closing prices** for greater accuracy
- Formula: MACD = (Volume-Weighted EMA₁₂ - Volume-Weighted EMA₂₆)
- Volume weighting gives more importance to high-conviction price moves
### Automatic Swing Detection
- Detects local highs and lows (5-bar lookback)
- Tracks the last 5 swings for divergence analysis
- Only meaningful swings are tracked (filtered for noise)
### Smart Signal Generation
- Green triangle (▲) = Bullish Divergence (BUY signal)
- Red triangle (▼) = Bearish Divergence (SELL signal)
- Triangles appear directly on the MACD line for precise entry timing
### Built-in Alerts
- Real-time notifications for divergence signals
- Alerts can trigger mobile push notifications or sound
- Never miss a trading opportunity

## Trading Strategy
### Bullish Divergence (Entry Setup)
1. **Identify Signal**: Green triangle appears on MACD
2. **Confirm Price**: Look for price rejection of the low (bounce)
3. **Volume Check**: Buy on increase in volume at the bounce
4. **Entry**: Above the swing low level
5. **Stop Loss**: Below the most recent swing low
6. **Target**: Next swing high or resistance level
### Bearish Divergence (Entry Setup)
1. **Identify Signal**: Red triangle appears on MACD
2. **Confirm Price**: Look for price rejection of the high
3. **Volume Check**: Sell on increase in volume at rejection
4. **Entry**: Below the swing high level
5. **Stop Loss**: Above the most recent swing high
6. **Target**: Next swing low or support level
### Risk Management
- **Position Size**: Risk only 1-2% per trade
- **Stop Loss**: Place beyond recent swings
- **Take Profit**: Scale out at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 risk-reward ratios
- **Filter**: Use on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for reliability

## Timeframe Recommendations
| Timeframe | Best For | Signal Quality |
|-----------|----------|---|
| **1H** | Scalping, day trading | Moderate (some noise) |
| **4H** | Swing trading | Excellent |
| **Daily** | Position trading | Excellent |
| **Weekly** | Long-term trends | Excellent |

## Tips & Best Practices
### ✅ DO:
- **Use on trends**: Divergences work best when there's a clear trend
- **Combine signals**: Look for confirmation from price action, volume, or moving averages
- **Trade the bounce**: Wait for price to react to the swing, then enter
- **Adjust parameters**: Test different MACD lengths for your trading style
- **Use alerts**: Set up mobile alerts so you don't miss signals
### ❌ DON'T:
- **Trade every signal**: Some signals are stronger than others
- **Trade flat/choppy markets**: Divergences fail in ranging markets
- **Ignore support/resistance**: Trade divergences near key levels for best results
- **Over-leverage**: Divergences are probabilistic, not guaranteed
- **Disable volume analysis**: Always check volume when divergence fires
---
## Advanced Features
### Volume Weighting
The indicator uses **volume-weighted MACD** instead of standard MACD. This means:
- High-volume reversals get more emphasis
- Low-volume moves are smoothed out
- More accurate momentum readings
- Better at identifying true trend changes
### Array Tracking
The indicator tracks the last 5 swings in arrays:
- `swingLows ` = last 5 price lows
- `swingHighs ` = last 5 price highs
- `swingMacds ` = corresponding MACD values
This allows detection of **hidden divergences** not visible in traditional analysis.
---
## Common Questions
**Q: Why didn't the indicator trigger a signal when I see a divergence?**
A: The indicator may require:
- MACD histogram to cross the zero line (confirms momentum shift)
- Minimum strength threshold to be met (adjust Min Divergence Strength)
- At least 5 swings to be recorded in the lookback window
**Q: Can I use this on all timeframes?**
A: Yes, but divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes (4H+). Lower timeframes produce more signals but with more noise.
**Q: Should I trade every green/red triangle?**
A: No. Use them as a heads-up for potential reversals. Always confirm with:
- Price action (rejection of the swing)
- Volume (increasing volume at reversal)
- Key support/resistance levels
**Q: How do I set alerts?**
A:
1. Right-click the indicator → Edit Alerts
2. Check "Bullish Divergence" and/or "Bearish Divergence"
3. Choose notification type (browser, mobile, email)
4. Set frequency to "Once per bar close"
**Q: What's the difference between regular and hidden divergence?**
A: This indicator detects **hidden divergences** (also called continuation divergences):
- **Regular**: Price makes new extreme, but oscillator doesn't
- **Hidden**: Price makes new extreme, oscillator makes new extreme in different direction
- Hidden divergences are often more reliable for continuation plays

Advanced SMC and MACD Integration for Precision Trading
The "Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with MACD Signals" indicator is a powerful and versatile tool designed to enhance trading strategies by integrating two highly effective technical analysis methods into a single, cohesive indicator. This advanced script combines the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator to provide traders with a comprehensive trading solution that identifies key market trends and potential trading opportunities.
What It Does:
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
The SMC component of this indicator identifies significant price levels and zones where market participants, particularly institutional investors, may be active. It calculates high and low anchor levels based on historical price data, creating zones that help traders understand where price action may encounter support or resistance. These anchor levels are used to plot background colors on the chart, highlighting critical areas of interest where price might react, and generating buy (long) and sell (short) signals based on price interactions with these levels.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
The MACD component provides insights into market momentum and trend strength. By calculating the difference between two moving averages and comparing it to a signal line, the MACD indicator helps traders identify potential changes in trend direction. The script plots the MACD line, signal line, and histogram, offering a clear visual representation of market momentum. Buy (long) and sell (short) signals are generated when the MACD line crosses above or below the signal line, providing timely alerts to potential trading opportunities.
Why It’s Special:
This indicator stands out for its dual functionality, combining the price level analysis of SMC with the momentum-based insights of MACD. The integration allows traders to benefit from both trend and price level analysis, offering a more robust and accurate trading tool. The SMC component highlights critical price zones and provides context for price action, while the MACD component confirms the strength and direction of market trends.
By using this combined approach, traders can make more informed decisions based on comprehensive market analysis. The indicator not only helps in identifying significant price levels and potential market reversals but also provides real-time signals to capitalize on these opportunities. Whether you are a day trader or a swing trader, the "Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with MACD Signals" indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy with precision and clarity.
This unique combination of SMC and MACD offers a powerful toolset for traders looking to refine their trading strategies and improve their market analysis. With its user-friendly visualizations and signal generation, this indicator is an essential addition to any trader’s toolkit.
LinReg-MACD AlertsThis is the LinReg-MACD indicator. It issues Buy and Sell signals based on linear regression candles along with a SMA slope filter. It also uses the MACD as confluence for these signals. It also has a LSMA filter. All values are adjustable and there are check boxes for use on different candles. I find it works better for me when swinging higher timeframes like the 1 hour.
Joel on Crypto - MACD ScalpingJoel on Crypto - MACD Scalping
This is a Scalping indicator primarily intended for the 5 minute time frame.
It is based on the Crypto Scalping YouTuber Joel on Crypto's popular 5 minute scalping strategy and this is the indicator he personally use when Scalping.
This is a Multi-timeframe indicator where if you use it on the 5 minute time frame, the MACD Histogram bars will be based on the 1 minute timeframe.
The purpose of this indicator is not to trade it like a bot. The purpose is to grab the traders attention a time where there COULD be a scalping opportunity.
Use this indicator at your own risk.
Fibonacci Zone Oscillator With MACD HistogramThe columns
After I found a way to calculate a price as a percent of the middle line of the KeltCOG Channel in the KCGmut indicator (published), I got the idea to use the same trick in the Fbonacci Zone Channel (also published), thus creating an oscillator.
I plot the percent’s as columns with the color of the KeltCOG Channel. Because the channels I created and published (i.e. Fibonacci Zone, Donchian Fibonacci Trading Tool, Keltner Fibzones, and KeltCOG) all use Fibonacci zones, this indicator also reports the position of the close in their zones.
Strategy and Use:
Blue column: Close in uptrend area, 4 supports, 0 resistance, ready to rally up.
Green column: Close in buyers area, 3 supports, 1 resistance, looking up.
Gray column: Close in center area 2 supports, 2 resistances, undecided.
Yellow column: Close in sellers area 1 support, 3 resistances, looking down.
Red column: Close in downtrend area, 0 support, 4 resistances, ready to rally down.
I use this indicator in a layout with three timeframes which I use for stock picking, I pick all stocks with a blue column in every timeframe, the indicator is so clear that I can flip through the 50 charts of my universe of high liquid European blue chips in 15 minutes to make a list of these stocks.
Because I use it in conjunction with KeltCOG I also gave it a ‘script sets lookback’ option which can be checked with a feedback label and switched off in the inputs.
The MACD histogram
I admire the MACD because it is spot on when predicting tops and bottoms. It is also the most sexy indictor in TA. Actually just the histogram is needed, so I don’t show the macd-line and the signal line. I use the same lookback for the slow-ma as for the columns, set the fast-ma to half and the signal-line to a third of the general lookback. Therefore I gave the lookback a minimum value of 6, so the signal gets at least a lookback of 2.
The histogram is plotted three times, first as a whitish area to provide a background, then the colums of the Fibzone Oscillator are plotted, then the histogram as a purple line, which contrasts nicely and then as a hardly visible brown histogram.
The input settings give the option to show columns and histogram separate or together.
Strategy and use:
I think about the columns as showing a ‘longer term chosen momentum’ and about the histogram as a ‘short term power momentum’. I use it as additional information.
Enjoy, Eykpunter.
Ultimate MACDThis indicator is an improved version of MACD+RSI (refer to my script list). Basically, this indicator is a combination of several indicators:
1. Fast MACD (preset at 8, 16, 11 - it is my own preference settings and the red and blue line in this indicator are referring to the Fast MACD settings)
2. Slow MACD (preset at 12, 26, 9 - standard settings and the Slow MACD lines are not displayed in this indicator)
3. RSI (preset over value 50)
4. Stochastic (preset overbought at 80, oversold at 20)
How to read:
1. Fast and Slow MACD:
- Two red and blue lines are displaying the Fast MACD lines
- Small blue cross will appear at every crossover of the Fast MACD lines
- Golden Cross 1: Yellow background will appear if only Fast MACD lines are crossing to each other (blue crossover red)
- Golden Cross 2: Green background will appear if both Fast and Slow MACD lines are crossing to each other (blue crossover red but for Slow MACD, I didn't put those lines in this indicator)
- Death Cross 1: Blue background will appear if only Fast MACD lines are crossing to each other (red crossover blue)
- Death Cross 2: Red background will appear if both Fast and Slow MACD lines are crossing to each other (red crossover blue)
2. RSI:
- Purple dots will appear on the center line if RSI value is over 50
3. Stochastic:
- Big Blue cross will appear on the center line if stochastic line are crossing to each other in the oversold area (preset at 20)
- Big Red cross will appear on the center line if stochastic line are crossing to each other in the overbought area (preset at 80)
That's all about this indicator, you can use it based on your own trading style if it suits you. And again I let the script open for anyone to modify it based on your own preferences.

BEST MA Cross/MACD ScreenerHello traders
Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational serie one more time
I - Concept
This is the first flexible screener I'm releasing. Screener detecting a convergence whenever the MACD and MM cross are giving a signal in the same direction.
Those who know me from TradingView ... are aware that I'm big on convergences. I totally think that 1 indicator isn't enough - whatever the timeframe.
But building my own convergence detection systems has been fruitful for me
II - How did I set the screener
The visual signals are as follow:
- square: MACD + MA cross convergence.
- diamond: Only MACD is selected
- circle: Only MA cross is selected
Then the colors are:
- green when bullish
- red when bearish
Example
Below, I highlighted why we see diamonds on the top screener panel. This is because I only selected the MACD filter
Cool Hacks
Don't forget that you can add the same indicator multiple times on your chart :)
Wishing you all the BEST trading

MAC-Z VWAP with divs & MACD Leader [ChuckBanger]This script is VWAP version of my MAC-Z indicator:
Right now it is my personal favorite. You can use it to spot divergences in both histogram and on the MAZ-Z line. You can also trade the MAC-Z line and its signal line crossovers. It also has MACD Leader crossover built in. MACD leader crossovers is indicated with a vertical line. Green for bullish and red for bearish.
Other signals
Green + = Bullish Divergence (Strong signal)
Red - = Bearish Divergence (Strong signal)
Green + = Hidden Bullish Divergence (Weak signal)
Red - = Hidden Bearish Divergence (Weak signal)
Green dot = Histgram crosses over zero line (Bullish signal)
Red dot = Histgram crosses below zero line (Bearish signal)

RSI and MACD Divergence IndicatorThe RSI and MACD Divergence Indicator is a custom Pine Script v6 indicator designed for TradingView that identifies and visualizes divergences between price movements and two technical indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Here's a brief explanation of its functionality:
Divergence Detection: The indicator detects both regular and hidden divergences for RSI, MACD (MACD Line), and Histogram. Regular bullish divergences occur when price makes a lower low but the indicator makes a higher low (suggesting a potential reversal upward), while regular bearish divergences occur when price makes a higher high but the indicator makes a lower high (suggesting a potential reversal downward). Hidden divergences indicate continuation patterns (e.g., higher low in price with a lower low in the indicator for bullish continuation).
Customizable Inputs:
Pivot Bars: Sets the number of bars used to confirm pivot highs and lows (default: 5).
RSI and MACD Parameters: Allows adjustment of RSI length (default: 14) and MACD settings (fast: 12, slow: 26, signal: 9).
Toggle Options: Enables/disables detection of regular and hidden divergences for RSI, MACD, and Histogram individually.
Confirmation: Option to wait for pivot confirmation (default: true), delaying divergence display until the pivot is fully formed.
Show Only Last Divergence: Toggles between showing only the most recent divergence (default: true) or all detected divergences (false), with previous lines and labels cleared when true.
Minimum Divergences: Sets the minimum number of divergence types required at a pivot to display (default: 1, max: 6).
Maximum Pivot Points: Limits the number of historical pivot points to check (default: 10).
Maximum Bars to Check: Restricts analysis to the last specified number of bars (default: 500).
Visualization:
Draws lines connecting the price pivot points where divergences are detected, with customizable colors, widths, and styles (solid, dashed, dotted) for RSI and MACD.
Displays a single label per pivot with vertically stacked text listing all detected divergence types (e.g., "RSI Bull Div\nMACD Bull Div"), using semi-transparent backgrounds (green for bullish, red for bearish) and white text.
KST-Based MACDAs a follow-up to my previous script:
I am posting a stand-alone KST-based MACD.
Note that this indicator is highly laggy. Specific care must be taken when using it.
The MACD-Signal crossing is quite delayed but it is a definite confirmation.
For earlier signs, the Histogram must be analyzed. A shift from Green-White signals the 1st Bear Signal.
A MACD-Signal crossing signals the 2nd Bear SIgnal.
The same applies for bull-signs.
This indicator is useful for long-term charts on which one might want to pinpoint clear, longterm divergences.
Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI and MACD are notoriously problematic when trying to pinpoint long-term divergences.
Finally, this indicator is not meant for pinpointing entry-exit positions. I find it useful for macro analysis. In my experience, the decreased sensitivity of this indicator can show very strong signs, that can be quite laggy.
Inside the indicator there is a setting for "exotic calculations". This is an attempt to make this chart work in both linear/ negative charts (T10Y2Y) and log charts (SPX)
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

OBV-MACDThe OBV-MACD indicator is a momentum-based technical analysis tool that helps traders identify trend reversals and trend strength. This Pine script is an implementation of the OBV-MACD indicator that uses the On-Balance Volume (OBV) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators to provide a momentum data of OBV.
The OBV-MACD indicator uses the OBV to calculate the cumulative volume, which is then smoothed using two moving averages - fast and slow. The difference between these moving averages is plotted as a histogram, with a signal line plotted over it. A buy signal is generated when the histogram crosses above the signal line, indicating a bullish trend, while a sell signal is generated when the histogram crosses below the signal line, indicating a bearish trend.
This Pine script also includes an OBV-MACD-Donchian version that incorporates Donchian channels for the OBV-MACD. The Donchian channel is a technical analysis indicator that helps traders identify the highs and lows of an asset's price over a certain period. The OBV-MACD-Donchian version uses the OBV-MACD indicator along with the Donchian channels to provide signals that the momentum of OBV is making new high/low during that period of time.
Traders can customize the input parameters of the OBV-MACD indicator, such as the timeframe, method of calculation for the moving averages, and the lengths of the moving averages and breakout lengths. The colors of the plot can also be customized to suit the trader's preferences.
Tom Joseph MACD 5-35 for Elliot WavesThis oscillator for the Elliott Theory has been invented by Tom Joseph and it's useful to correctly count the impulsive and corrective waves.
Its difference compared to a simple MACD is the peculiarity to use the ratio between the Fast SMA (default period set to 5) and the Slow SMA (default period se to 35).
The used formula is as below:
( (fast_SMA / slow_SMA) -1 ) * 100

Adaptive, Jurik-Filtered, JMA/DWMA MACD [Loxx]Adaptive, Jurik-Filtered, JMA/DWMA MACD is MACD oscillator with a twist. The traditional calculation of MACD is the between two EMAs of price. This traditional approach yields a very noisy and lagged signal. To solve this problem, JMA/DWMA MACD uses the difference between adaptive Juirk-Filtered price and adaptive DWMA to yield a marked improvement over traditional MACD.
What is JMA / DWMA oscillator (MACD)?
Of all the different combinations of moving average filters to use for a MACD oscillator, we prefer using the JMA - DWMA combination.
JMA is ideal for the fast moving average line because it is quick to respond to reversals, is smooth and can be set to have no overshoot. DWMA (double weighted moving average) is ideal for the slower line as is tends to delay reversing direction until JMA crosses it.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.
What is the Jurik Moving Average?
Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.
What is an adaptive cycle, and what is Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman’s adaptive moving average ( KAMA ) and Tushar Chande’s variable index dynamic average ( VIDYA ) adapt to changes in volatility . By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic , relative strength index ( RSI ), commodity channel index ( CCI ), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator. This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."

RSX of Double MACD [Loxx]RSX of Double MACD is a specialized version of the classic MACD. Normally the MACD calculation ends with the difference between fast/slow EMAs, this version of MACD takes the calculation one step further by passing the MACD signal into an RSX RSI function to derive a smoother MACD bound from 0 to 100.
What is MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA.
What is RSX?
RSI is a very popular technical indicator, because it takes into consideration market speed, direction and trend uniformity. However, the its widely criticized drawback is its noisy (jittery) appearance. The Jurk RSX retains all the useful features of RSI , but with one important exception: the noise is gone with no added lag.

This is a port of a famous MT4 indicator. This indicator uses MACD /BB to track trend direction and strength. Author suggests using this indicator on 30mins.
Explanation from the indicator developer:
"Various components of the indicator are:
Dead Zone Line: Works as a filter for weak signals. Do not trade when the up or down histogram is in between Dead Zone.
Histograms:
- Pink histogram shows the current down trend.
- Blue histogram shows the current up trend.
- Sienna line / Bollinger Band shows the explosion in price up or down.
Signal for ENTER_BUY: All the following conditions must be met.

MACD PIP HUNTERS 2.0This indicator allows you to see divergence of chart. it contains the PIP HUNTER's strategy.
Commodity Channel Index MACD I've not seen any reprensentation of this type based on CCI chanel....
This indicator is an hybrid between CCI and MACD.
The CCI MACD line is calculated using a moving average between 2 CCI period a (FastCCI - SlowCCI) aplied on the (Fast + Slow) periods
The CCI signal line is a moving average of (CCI MACD line, on the signal line smoothing length.
The histogram is only the difference between the CCI MACD and CCI Signal line

ANN Forecast MACD [Noldo] In this script, I tried to convert ANN MACD to MACD Forecast.
It took me quite a while, but it was fun.
After selecting the ticker, select the instrument from the menu and the system will automatically turn on the appropriate Forecast MACD system.
The system is trained with ANN values of ANN MACD 25 in 1.
But because the system is overloaded, only the most popular instruments are left.
The others were unfortunately eliminated.
The only difference is that it was built on the forecast algorithm of my own creation.
The Forecast algorithm is not open-source.
The codes are a nice framework for some of my most valuable systems about ANN . (Working on them. )
But I'm never remove this script.
You can use it forever for free.
As you can see in the presentation, although it is in the same period, it is more accurate and agile than normal MACD.
I think even a bar is important in trade.
