⯁ WHAT IS THE MACD❓
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel. It measures the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price to identify changes in momentum, direction, and strength of a trend. The MACD is composed of three components: the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
⯁ HOW TO USE THE MACD❓
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, called the signal line, is then plotted on top of the MACD line. The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Here are the primary signals generated by the MACD:
Bullish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential buy signal.
Bearish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential sell signal.
Divergence: When the price of the security diverges from the MACD, suggesting a potential reversal.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Indicated by the MACD line moving far away from the signal line, though this is less common than in oscillators like the RSI.

MACD-X, More Than MACD by DGTMoving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD
The most popular indicator used in technical analysis, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), created by Gerald Appel. MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator, designed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a financial instrument’s price
Historical evolution of MACD,
- Gerald Appel created the MACD line,
- Thomas Aspray added the histogram feature to MACD
- Giorgos E. Siligardos created a leader of MACD
MACD employs two Moving Averages of varying lengths (which are lagging indicators) to identify trend direction and duration. Then, MACD takes the difference in values between those two Moving Averages (MACD Line) and an EMA of those Moving Averages (Signal Line) and plots that difference between the two lines as a histogram which oscillates above and below a center Zero Line. The histogram is used as a good indication of a security's momentum.
Mathematically expressed as;
macd = ma(source, fast_length) – ma(source, slow_length)
signal = ma(macd, signal_length)
histogram = macd – signal
where exponential moving average (ema) is in common use as a moving average (ma)
fast_length = 12
slow_length = 26
signal_length = 9
The MACD indicator is typically good for identifying three types of basic signals ;
Signal Line Crossovers
A Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the MACD. On the occasions where the MACD Line crosses above or below the Signal Line, that can signify a potentially strong move. The standard interpretation of such an event is a recommendation to buy if the MACD line crosses up through the Signal Line (a "bullish" crossover), or to sell if it crosses down through the Signal Line (a "bearish" crossover). These events are taken as indications that the trend in the financial instrument is about to accelerate in the direction of the crossover.
Zero Line Crossovers
Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crossed the Zero Line and either becomes positive (above 0) or negative (below 0). A change from positive to negative MACD is interpreted as "bearish", and from negative to positive as "bullish". Zero crossovers provide evidence of a change in the direction of a trend but less confirmation of its momentum than a signal line crossover
Divergence
Divergence is another signal created by the MACD. Simply, divergence occurs when the MACD and actual price are not in agreement. A "positive divergence" or "bullish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new low but the MACD does not confirm with a new low of its own. A "negative divergence" or "bearish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new high but the MACD does not confirm with a new high of its own. A divergence with respect to price may occur on the MACD line and/or the MACD Histogram
Moving Average Crossovers , another hidden signal that MACD Indicator identifies
Many traders will watch for a short-term moving average to cross above a longer-term moving average and use this to signal increasing upward momentum. This bullish crossover suggests that the price has recently been rising at a faster rate than it has in the past, so it is a common technical buy sign. Conversely, a short-term moving average crossing below a longer-term average is used to illustrate that the asset's price has been moving downward at a faster rate and that it may be a good time to sell.
Moving Average Crossovers in reality is Zero Line Crossovers, the value of the MACD indicator is equal to zero each time the two moving averages cross over each other. For easy interpretation by trades, Zero Line Crossovers are simply described as positive or negative MACD
False signals
Like any forecasting algorithm, the MACD can generate false signals. A false positive, for example, would be a bullish crossover followed by a sudden decline in a financial instrument. A false negative would be a situation where there is bearish crossover, yet the financial instrument accelerated suddenly upwards
What is “MACD-X” and Why it is “More Than MACD”
In its simples form, MACD-X implements variety of different calculation techniques applied to obtain MACD Line, ability to use of variety of different sources , including Volume related sources, and can be plotted along with MACD in the same window and all those features are available and presented within a single indicator, MACD-X
Different calculation techniques lead to different values for MACD Line, as will further discuss below, and as a consequence the signal line and the histogram values will differentiate accordingly. Mathematical calculation of both signal line and the histogram remain the same.
Main features of MACD-X ;
1- Introduces different proven techniques applied on MACD calculation , such as MACD-Histogram, MACD-Leader and MACD-Source, besides the traditional MACD (MACD-TRADITIONAL)
• MACD-Traditional , by Gerald Appel
It is the MACD that we know, stated as traditional just to avoid confusion with other techniques used with this study
• MACD-Histogram , by Thomas Aspray
The MACD-Histogram measures the distance between MACD and its signal line (the 9-day EMA of MACD). Aspray developed the MACD-Histogram to anticipate signal line crossovers in MACD. Because MACD uses moving averages and moving averages lag price, signal line crossovers can come late and affect the reward-to-risk ratio of a trade. Bullish or bearish divergences in the MACD-Histogram can alert chartists to an imminent signal line crossover in MACD
The MACD-Histogram represents the difference between MACD and its 9-day EMA, the signal line. Mathematically,
macdx = macd - ma(macd, signal_length)
Aspray's contribution served as a way to anticipate (and therefore cut down on lag) possible MACD crossovers which are a fundamental part of the indicator.
Here come a question, what if repeat the same calculations once more (macdh2 = macdh - ma(macdh, signal_length), will it be even better, this question will remain to be tested
• MACD-Leader , by Giorgos E. Siligardos, PhD
MACD Leader has the ability to lead MACD at critical situations. Almost all smoothing methods encounter in technical analysis are based on a relative-weighted sum of past prices, and the Leader is no exception. The concealed weights of MACD Leader are such that more relative weight is used in the more recent prices than the respective weights used by the components of MACD. In effect, the Leader expresses more changes in average price dynamics for the recent price movement than MACD, thus eventually leading MACD, especially when significant trend changes are about to take place.
Siligardos creates two less-laggard moving averages indicators in its formula using the same periods as follows
Indicator1 = ma(source, fast_length) + ma(source - ma(source, fast_length), fast_length)
Indicator2 = ma(source, slow_length) + ma(source - ma(source, slow_length), slow_length)
and then take the difference:
Indicator1 - Indicator2
The result is a new MACD Leader indicator
macdx = macd + ma(source - fast_ma, fast_length) - ma(source - slow_ma, slow_length)
• MACD-Source , a custom experimental interpretation of mine ,
MACD Source, presents an application of MACD that evaluates Source/MA Ratio, relatively with less lag, as a basis for MACD Line, also can be expressed as source convergence/divergence to its moving average. Among the various techniques for removing the lag between price and moving average (MA) of the price, one in particular stands out: the addition to the moving average of a portion of the difference between the price and MA. MACD Source, is based on signal length mean of the difference between Source and average value of shot length and long length moving average of the source (Source/MA Ratio), where the source is actual value and hence no lag and relatively less lag with the average value of moving average of the source . Mathematically expressed as,
macdx = ma(source - avg( ma(source, fast_length), ma(source, slow_length) ), signal_length)
MACD Source provides relatively early crossovers comparing to MACD and better momentum direction indications, assuming the lengths are set to same values
For further details, you are invited to check the following two studies, where the first seeds were sown of the MACD-Source idea
Price Distance to its Moving Averages study, adapts the idea of “Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement", presented in an article by Denis Alajbeg, Zoran Bubas and Dina Vasic published in International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management
First MACD like interpretation comes with the second study named as “ P-MACD ”, where P stands for price, P-MACD study attempts to display relationship between Price and its 20 and 200-period moving average. Calculations with P-MACD were based on price distance (convergence/divergence) to its 200-period moving average, and moving average convergence/divergence of 20-period moving average to 200-period moving average of price.
Now as explained above, MACD Source is a one adapted with traditional MACD, where Source stands for Price, Volume Indicator etc, any source applicable with MACD concept
2- Allows usage of variety of different sources, including Volume related indicators
The most common usage of Source for MACD calculation is close value of the financial instruments price. As an experimental approach, this study will allow source to be selected as one of the following series;
• Current Close Price (close)
• Average of High, Low, and Close Price (hlc3)
• On Balance Volume (obv)
• Accumulation Distribution (accdist)
• Price Volume Trend (pvt)
Where,
-Current Close Price and Average of High, Low, and Close Price are price actions of the financial instrument
- Accumulation Distribution is a volume based indicator designed to measure underlying supply and demand
- On Balance Volume (OBV) , is a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow
- Price Volume Trend (PVT) is a momentum based indicator used to measure money flow
3- Can be plotted along with MACD in the same window using the same scaling
Default setting of MACD-X will display MACD-Source with Current Close Price as a source and traditional MACD can be plotted eighter as a companion of MACD-X or can be selected to be plotted alone.
Applying both will add ability to compare, or use as a confirmation of one other
In case, traditional MACD Is plotted along with MACD-X to avoid misinterpreting, the lines plotted, the area between MACD-X Line and Signal-X Line is highlighted automatically, even if the highlight option not selected. Otherwise highlight will be applied only if that option selected
4- 4C Histogram
Histogram is plotted with four colors to emphasize the momentum and direction
5- Customizable
Additional to ability of selecting Calculation Method, Source, plotting along with MACD, there are few other option that allows users to customize the MACD-X indicator
Lengths are configurable, default values are set as 12, 26, 9 respectively for fast, slow and smoothing length. Setting lengths to 8,21,5 respectively Is worth checking, slower length moving averages will lead to less lag and earlier reaction to price actions but yet requires a caution and back testing before applying
Highlight the area between MACD-X Line and Signal-X Line, with colors emphasising the direction
Label can be added to display Calculation Method, Source and Length settings, the aim of this label is to server only as a reminder to trades to be aware of settings while they are occupied with charts, analysis etc.
Here comes another question, which is of more importance having the reminder or having the indicators with multi timeframe feature? Build-in Multi Time Frame features of Pine is not supported when labels and lines introduced in the script, there are other methods but brings complexity. To be studied further, this version will be with labels for time being.
Epilogue
MACD-X is an alternative variant of MACD, the insight/signals provided by MACD are also applicable to MACD-X with early and clear warnings for the changes in the trend.
If MACD is essential to your analysis, then it is my guess that after using the MACD-X for a while and familiarizing yourself with its unique character and personality, you will make it an inseparable companion to other indicators in your charts.
The various signals generated by MACD/MACD-X are easily interpreted and very few indicators in technical analysis have proved to be more reliable than the MACD, and this relatively simple indicator can quickly be incorporated into any short-term trading strategy

Volatility Adjusted MACDMACD, short for moving average convergence/divergence, is a trading indicator used in technical analysis of securities prices, created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. It is designed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price.
The MACD indicator (or "oscillator") is a collection of three time series calculated from historical price data, most often the closing price. These three series are: the MACD series proper, the "signal" or "average" series, and the "divergence" series which is the difference between the two. The MACD series is the difference between a "fast" (short period) exponential moving average (EMA), and a "slow" (longer period) EMA of the price series. The average series is an EMA of the MACD series itself.
This version of MACD follows the work of Alex Spiroglou, DipTA(ATAA), CFTe in his 2022 paper that was awarded Charles H. Dow Award by CMT Association . The paper is available on papers.ssrn.com or on website.of CMT Association.
Please refer to the paper for details on construction and trading rules . I personally find the volatility adjusted version as described in this paper more responsive in terms of signals and divergences.
MACD Forecast Colorful [DiFlip]MACD Forecast Colorful
The Future of Predictive MACD — is one of the most advanced and customizable MACD indicators ever published on TradingView. Built on the classic MACD foundation, this upgraded version integrates statistical forecasting through linear regression to anticipate future movements — not just react to the past.
With a total of 22 fully configurable long and short entry conditions, visual enhancements, and full automation support, this indicator is designed for serious traders seeking an analytical edge.
⯁ Real-Time MACD Forecasting
For the first time, a public MACD script combines the classic structure of MACD with predictive analytics powered by linear regression. Instead of simply responding to current values, this tool projects the MACD line, signal line, and histogram n bars into the future, allowing you to trade with foresight rather than hindsight.
⯁ Fully Customizable
This indicator is built for flexibility. It includes 22 entry conditions, all of which are fully configurable. Each condition can be turned on/off, chained using AND/OR logic, and adapted to your trading model.
Whether you're building a rules-based quant system, automating alerts, or refining discretionary signals, MACD Forecast Colorful gives you full control over how signals are generated, displayed, and triggered.
⯁ With MACD Forecast Colorful, you can:
• Detect MACD crossovers before they happen.
• Anticipate trend reversals with greater precision.
• React earlier than traditional indicators.
• Gain a powerful edge in both discretionary and automated strategies.
• This isn’t just smarter MACD — it’s predictive momentum intelligence.
⯁ Scientifically Powered by Linear Regression
MACD Forecast Colorful is the first public MACD indicator to apply least-squares predictive modeling to MACD behavior — effectively introducing machine learning logic into a time-tested tool.
It uses statistical regression to analyze historical behavior of the MACD and project future trajectories. The result is a forward-shifted MACD forecast that can detect upcoming crossovers and divergences before they appear on the chart.
⯁ Linear Regression: Technical Foundation
Linear regression is a statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x). The basic formula for simple linear regression is:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
Where:
y = predicted variable (e.g., future MACD value)
x = independent variable (e.g., bar index)
β₀ = intercept
β₁ = slope
ε = random error (residual)
The regression model calculates β₀ and β₁ using the least squares method, minimizing the sum of squared prediction errors to produce the best-fit line through historical values. This line is then extended forward, generating a forecast based on recent price momentum.
⯁ Least Squares Estimation
The regression coefficients are computed with the following formulas:
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
Σ denotes summation; x̄ and ȳ are the means of x and y; and i ranges from 1 to n (number of observations). These equations produce the best linear unbiased estimator under the Gauss–Markov assumptions — constant variance (homoscedasticity) and a linear relationship between variables.
⯁ Regression in Machine Learning
Linear regression is a foundational model in supervised learning. Its ability to provide precise, explainable, and fast forecasts makes it critical in AI systems and quantitative analysis.
Applying linear regression to MACD forecasting is the equivalent of injecting artificial intelligence into one of the most widely used momentum tools in trading.
⯁ Visual Interpretation
Picture the MACD values over time like this:
Time →
MACD →
A regression line is fitted to recent MACD values, then projected forward n periods. The result is a predictive trajectory that can cross over the real MACD or signal line — offering an early-warning system for trend shifts and momentum changes.
The indicator plots both current MACD and forecasted MACD, allowing you to visually compare short-term future behavior against historical movement.
⯁ Scientific Concepts Used
Linear Regression: models the relationship between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares Method: minimizes squared prediction errors for best-fit.
Time-Series Forecasting: projects future data based on past patterns.
Supervised Learning: predictive modeling using labeled inputs.
Statistical Smoothing: filters noise to highlight trends.
⯁ Why This Indicator Is Revolutionary
First open-source MACD with real-time predictive modeling.
Scientifically grounded with linear regression logic.
Automatable through TradingView alerts and bots.
Smart signal generation using forecasted crossovers.
Highly customizable with 22 buy/sell conditions.
Enhanced visuals with background (bgcolor) and area fill (fill) support.
This isn’t just an update — it’s the next evolution of MACD forecasting.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression with one independent variable
This example demonstrates how a basic linear regression works when there is only one independent variable influencing the dependent variable. This type of model is used to identify a direct relationship between two variables.
⯁ In linear regression, observations (red) are considered the result of random deviations (green) from an underlying relationship (blue) between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x)
This concept illustrates that sampled data points rarely align perfectly with the true trend line. Instead, each observed point represents the combination of the true underlying relationship and a random error component.
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot with 100 random fitted values using Matlab
Heteroscedasticity occurs when the variance of the errors is not constant across the range of fitted values. This visualization highlights how the spread of data can change unpredictably, which is an important factor in evaluating the validity of regression models.
⯁ The datasets in Anscombe’s quartet were designed to have nearly the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but look very different when plotted
This classic example shows that summary statistics alone can be misleading. Even with identical numerical metrics, the datasets display completely different patterns, emphasizing the importance of visual inspection when interpreting a model.
⯁ Result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function
This example illustrates how a second-degree polynomial model can better fit certain datasets that do not follow a linear trend. The resulting curve reflects the true shape of the data more accurately than a straight line.
⯁ What is the MACD?
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel. It measures the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price to identify changes in momentum, direction, and strength of a trend. The MACD is composed of three components: the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
⯁ How to use the MACD?
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, called the signal line, is then plotted on top of the MACD line. The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Here are the primary signals generated by the MACD:
• Bullish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential buy signal.
• Bearish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential sell signal.
• Divergence: When the price of the security diverges from the MACD, suggesting a potential reversal.
• Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Indicated by the MACD line moving far away from the signal line, though this is less common than in oscillators like the RSI.
⯁ How to use MACD forecast?
The MACD Forecast is built on the same foundation as the classic MACD, but with predictive capabilities.
Step 1 — Spot Predicted Crossovers:
Watch for forecasted bullish or bearish crossovers. These signals anticipate when the MACD line will cross the signal line in the future, letting you prepare trades before the move.
Step 2 — Confirm with Histogram Projection:
Use the projected histogram to validate momentum direction. A rising histogram signals strengthening bullish momentum, while a falling projection points to weakening or bearish conditions.
Step 3 — Combine with Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Use forecasts across multiple timeframes to confirm signal strength (e.g., a 1h forecast aligned with a 4h forecast).
Step 4 — Set Entry Conditions & Automation:
Customize your buy/sell rules with the 20 forecast-based conditions and enable automation for bots or alerts.
Step 5 — Trade Ahead of the Market:
By preparing for future momentum shifts instead of reacting to the past, you’ll always stay one step ahead of lagging traders.

While Gerald Appel's original MACD from the 1970s was limited to exponential moving averages (EMA), this enhanced version expands algorithmic options by supporting 21 different moving average calculations for both the main MACD line and signal line independently.
This improvement addresses an important limitation of traditional MACD: the inability to adapt the indicator's mathematical foundation to different market conditions. By allowing traders to select from algorithms ranging from simple moving averages (SMA) for stability to advanced adaptive filters like Kalman Filter for noise reduction, this implementation changes MACD from a fixed-algorithm tool into a flexible instrument that can be adjusted for specific market environments and trading strategies.
The enhanced histogram visualization system uses a four-color gradient that helps communicate momentum strength and direction more clearly than traditional single-color histograms.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The core calculation maintains the proven MACD formula: Fast MA(source, fastLength) - Slow MA(source, slowLength), but extends it with algorithmic flexibility. The signal line applies the selected smoothing algorithm to the MACD line over the specified signal period, while the histogram represents the difference between MACD and signal lines.
Available Algorithms:
The implementation supports a comprehensive spectrum of technical analysis algorithms:
Basic Averages: SMA (arithmetic mean), EMA (exponential weighting), RMA (Wilder's smoothing), WMA (linear weighting)
Advanced Averages: HMA (Hull's low-lag), VWMA (volume-weighted), ALMA (Arnaud Legoux adaptive)
Mathematical Filters: LSMA (least squares regression), DEMA (double exponential), TEMA (triple exponential), ZLEMA (zero-lag exponential)
Adaptive Systems: T3 (Tillson T3), FRAMA (fractal adaptive), KAMA (Kaufman adaptive), MCGINLEY_DYNAMIC (reactive to volatility)
Signal Processing: ULTIMATE_SMOOTHER (low-pass filter), LAGUERRE_FILTER (four-pole IIR), SUPER_SMOOTHER (two-pole Butterworth), KALMAN_FILTER (state-space estimation)
Specialized: TMA (triangular moving average), LAGUERRE_BINOMIAL_FILTER (binomial smoothing)
Each algorithm responds differently to price action, allowing traders to match the indicator's behavior to market characteristics: trending markets benefit from responsive algorithms like EMA or HMA, while ranging markets require stable algorithms like SMA or RMA.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Histogram Interpretation:
Positive Values: Indicate bullish momentum when MACD line exceeds signal line, suggesting upward price pressure and potential buying opportunities
Negative Values: Reflect bearish momentum when MACD line falls below signal line, indicating downward pressure and potential selling opportunities
Zero Line Crosses: MACD crossing above zero suggests transition to bullish bias, while crossing below indicates bearish bias shift
Momentum Changes: Rising histogram (regardless of positive/negative) signals accelerating momentum in the current direction, while declining histogram warns of momentum deceleration
Advanced Signal Recognition:
Divergences: Price making new highs/lows while MACD fails to confirm often precedes trend reversals
Convergence Patterns: MACD line approaching signal line suggests impending crossover and potential trade setup
Histogram Peaks: Extreme histogram values often mark momentum exhaustion points and potential reversal zones
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Comprehensive Trend Confirmation Strategies:
Primary Trend Validation Protocol:
Identify primary trend direction using higher timeframe (4H or Daily) MACD position relative to zero line
Confirm trend strength by analyzing histogram progression: consistent expansion indicates strong momentum, contraction suggests weakening
Use secondary confirmation from MACD line angle: steep angles (>45°) indicate strong trends, shallow angles suggest consolidation
Validate with price structure: trending markets show consistent higher highs/higher lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lower lows (downtrend)
Entry Timing Techniques:
Pullback Entries in Uptrends: Wait for MACD histogram to decline toward zero line without crossing, then enter on histogram expansion with MACD line still above zero
Breakout Confirmations: Use MACD line crossing above zero as confirmation of upward breakouts from consolidation patterns
Continuation Signals: Look for MACD line re-acceleration (steepening angle) after brief consolidation periods as trend continuation signals
Advanced Divergence Trading Systems:
Regular Divergence Recognition:
Bullish Regular Divergence: Price creates lower lows while MACD line forms higher lows. This pattern is traditionally considered a potential upward reversal signal, but should be combined with other confirmation signals
Bearish Regular Divergence: Price makes higher highs while MACD shows lower highs. This pattern is traditionally considered a potential downward reversal signal, but trading decisions should incorporate proper risk management
Hidden Divergence Strategies:
Bullish Hidden Divergence: Price shows higher lows while MACD displays lower lows, indicating trend continuation potential. Use for adding to existing long positions during pullbacks
Bearish Hidden Divergence: Price creates lower highs while MACD forms higher highs, suggesting downtrend continuation. Optimal for adding to short positions during bear market rallies
Multi-Timeframe Coordination Framework:
Three-Timeframe Analysis Structure:
Primary Timeframe (Daily): Determine overall market bias and major trend direction. Only trade in alignment with daily MACD direction
Secondary Timeframe (4H): Identify intermediate trend changes and major entry opportunities. Use for position sizing decisions
Execution Timeframe (1H): Precise entry and exit timing. Look for MACD line crossovers that align with higher timeframe bias
Timeframe Synchronization Rules:
Daily MACD above zero + 4H MACD rising = Strong uptrend context for long positions
Daily MACD below zero + 4H MACD declining = Strong downtrend context for short positions
Conflicting signals between timeframes = Wait for alignment or use smaller position sizes
1H MACD signals only valid when aligned with both higher timeframes
Algorithm Considerations by Market Type:
Trending Markets: Responsive algorithms like EMA, HMA may be considered, but effectiveness should be tested for specific market conditions
Volatile Markets: Noise-reducing algorithms like KALMAN_FILTER, SUPER_SMOOTHER may help reduce false signals, though results vary by market
Range-Bound Markets: Stability-focused algorithms like SMA, RMA may provide smoother signals, but individual testing is required
Short Timeframes: Low-lag algorithms like ZLEMA, T3 theoretically respond faster but may also increase noise
Important Note: All algorithm choices and parameter settings should be thoroughly backtested and validated based on specific trading strategies, market conditions, and individual risk tolerance. Different market environments and trading styles may require different configuration approaches.
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Comprehensive Source Selection Strategy:
Price Source Analysis and Optimization:
Close Price (Default): Most commonly used, reflects final market sentiment of each period. Best for end-of-day analysis, swing trading, daily/weekly timeframes. Advantages: widely accepted standard, good for backtesting comparisons. Disadvantages: ignores intraday price action, may miss important highs/lows
HL2 (High+Low)/2: Midpoint of the trading range, reduces impact of opening gaps and closing spikes. Best for volatile markets, gap-prone assets, forex markets. Calculation impact: smoother MACD signals, reduced noise from price spikes. Optimal when asset shows frequent gaps, high volatility during specific sessions
HLC3 (High+Low+Close)/3: Weighted average emphasizing the close while including range information. Best for balanced analysis, most asset classes, medium-term trading. Mathematical effect: 33% weight to high/low, 33% to close, provides compromise between close and HL2. Use when standard close is too noisy but HL2 is too smooth
OHLC4 (Open+High+Low+Close)/4: True average of all price points, most comprehensive view. Best for complete price representation, algorithmic trading, statistical analysis. Considerations: includes opening sentiment, smoothest of all options but potentially less responsive. Optimal for markets with significant opening moves, comprehensive trend analysis
Parameter Configuration Principles:
Important Note: Different moving average algorithms have distinct mathematical characteristics and response patterns. The same parameter settings may produce vastly different results when using different algorithms. When switching algorithms, parameter settings should be re-evaluated and tested for appropriateness.
Length Parameter Considerations:
Fast Length (Default 12): Shorter periods provide faster response but may increase noise and false signals, longer periods offer more stable signals but slower response, different algorithms respond differently to the same parameters and may require adjustment
Slow Length (Default 26): Should maintain a reasonable proportional relationship with fast length, different timeframes may require different parameter configurations, algorithm characteristics influence optimal length settings
Signal Length (Default 9): Shorter lengths produce more frequent crossovers but may increase false signals, longer lengths provide better signal confirmation but slower response, should be adjusted based on trading style and chosen algorithm characteristics
Comprehensive Algorithm Selection Framework:
MACD Line Algorithm Decision Matrix:
EMA (Standard Choice): Mathematical properties: exponential weighting, recent price emphasis. Best for general use, traditional MACD behavior, backtesting compatibility. Performance characteristics: good balance of speed and smoothness, widely understood behavior
SMA (Stability Focus): Equal weighting of all periods, maximum smoothness. Best for ranging markets, noise reduction, conservative trading. Trade-offs: slower signal generation, reduced sensitivity to recent price changes
HMA (Speed Optimized): Hull Moving Average, designed for reduced lag. Best for trending markets, quick reversals, active trading. Technical advantage: square root period weighting, faster trend detection. Caution: can be more sensitive to noise
KAMA (Adaptive): Kaufman Adaptive MA, adjusts smoothing based on market efficiency. Best for varying market conditions, algorithmic trading. Mechanism: fast smoothing in trends, slow smoothing in sideways markets. Complexity: requires understanding of efficiency ratio
Signal Line Algorithm Optimization Strategies:
Matching Strategy: Use same algorithm for both MACD and signal lines. Benefits: consistent mathematical properties, predictable behavior. Best when backtesting historical strategies, maintaining traditional MACD characteristics
Contrast Strategy: Use different algorithms for optimization. Common combinations: MACD=EMA, Signal=SMA for smoother crossovers, MACD=HMA, Signal=RMA for balanced speed/stability, Advanced: MACD=KAMA, Signal=T3 for adaptive behavior with smooth signals
Market Regime Adaptation: Trending markets: both fast algorithms (EMA/HMA), Volatile markets: MACD=KALMAN_FILTER, Signal=SUPER_SMOOTHER, Range-bound: both slow algorithms (SMA/RMA)
Parameter Sensitivity Considerations:
Impact of Parameter Changes:
Length Parameter Sensitivity: Small parameter adjustments can significantly affect signal timing, while larger adjustments may fundamentally change indicator behavior characteristics
Algorithm Sensitivity: Different algorithms produce different signal characteristics. Thoroughly test the impact on your trading strategy before switching algorithms
Combined Effects: Changing multiple parameters simultaneously can create unexpected effects. Recommendation: adjust parameters one at a time and thoroughly test each change
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Response Characteristics by Algorithm:
Fastest Response: ZLEMA, HMA, T3 - minimal lag but higher noise
Balanced Performance: EMA, DEMA, TEMA - good trade-off between speed and stability

Algorithm performance varies with market conditions, and past characteristics do not guarantee future results. Always combine with proper risk management and thorough strategy testing.
MACD Potential Divergence - FontiramisuIndicator showing potential momentum divergences on MACD Momentum.
The problem with the classic divergence is that when the signal appears, it is sometimes too late to enter a trade .
The potential divergence corrects this problem by signaling the beginning of a potential divergence .
MACD is a momentum indicator that offers relevant insights with divergences.
Potential divergences are indicated with the letter B and a red color for Bearish Div or Green color for Bullish Div .
Potential divergence is confirmed when the line and the label "Bear"' or "Bull" appear.
MACD-X Overlay, More Than MACD by DGTMoving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD
The most popular indicator used in technical analysis , the moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ), created by Gerald Appel. MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator , designed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a financial instrument’s price
Historical evolution of MACD ,
- Gerald Appel created the MACD line,
- Thomas Aspray added the histogram feature to MACD
- Giorgos E. Siligardos created a leader of MACD
MACD employs two Moving Averages of varying lengths (which are lagging indicators) to identify trend direction and duration. Then, MACD takes the difference in values between those two Moving Averages (MACD Line) and an EMA of those Moving Averages (Signal Line) and plots that difference between the two lines as a histogram which oscillates above and below a center Zero Line. The histogram is used as a good indication of a security's momentum.
The MACD indicator is typically good for identifying three types of basic signals;
Signal Line Crossovers
A Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the MACD . On the occasions where the MACD Line crosses above or below the Signal Line, that can signify a potentially strong move. The standard interpretation of such an event is a recommendation to buy if the MACD line crosses up through the Signal Line (a "bullish" crossover), or to sell if it crosses down through the Signal Line (a "bearish" crossover). These events are taken as indications that the trend in the financial instrument is about to accelerate in the direction of the crossover.
Zero Line Crossovers
Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crossed the Zero Line and either becomes positive (above 0) or negative (below 0). A change from positive to negative MACD is interpreted as "bearish", and from negative to positive as "bullish". Zero crossovers provide evidence of a change in the direction of a trend but less confirmation of its momentum than a signal line crossover
Divergence
Divergence is another signal created by the MACD . Simply, divergence occurs when the MACD and actual price are not in agreement. A "positive divergence" or "bullish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new low but the MACD does not confirm with a new low of its own. A "negative divergence" or "bearish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new high but the MACD does not confirm with a new high of its own. A divergence with respect to price may occur on the MACD line and/or the MACD Histogram
Moving Average Crossovers , another hidden signal that MACD Indicator identifies
Many traders will watch for a short-term moving average to cross above a longer-term moving average and use this to signal increasing upward momentum. This bullish crossover suggests that the price has recently been rising at a faster rate than it has in the past, so it is a common technical buy sign. Conversely, a short-term moving average crossing below a longer-term average is used to illustrate that the asset's price has been moving downward at a faster rate and that it may be a good time to sell.
Moving Average Crossovers in reality is Zero Line Crossovers, the value of the MACD indicator is equal to zero each time the two moving averages cross over each other. For easy interpretation by trades, Zero Line Crossovers are simply described as positive or negative MACD
False signals
Like any forecasting algorithm, the MACD can generate false signals. A false positive, for example, would be a bullish crossover followed by a sudden decline in a financial instrument. A false negative would be a situation where there is bearish crossover, yet the financial instrument accelerated suddenly upwards
What is “MACD-X” and Why it is “More Than MACD”
In its simples form, MACD-X implements variety of different calculation techniques applied to obtain MACD Line. Different calculation techniques lead to different values for MACD Line, as will further discuss below, and as a consequence the signal line and the histogram values will differentiate accordingly.
Main features of MACD-X ;
1- Plotting of the Oscillator presented on top of the price chart (main chart) and applicable on both log and linear scale. Maximum plotting length is limited to 250 bars
2- Introduces different proven techniques applied on MACD calculation, such as MACD-AS (Histogram), MACD-Leader and MACD-Source, besides the traditional MACD (MACD-TRADITIONAL)
• MACD-Traditional, by Gerald Appel
It is the MACD that we know, stated as traditional just to avoid confusion with other techniques used with this study
• MACD-Histogram, by Thomas Aspray
The MACD-Histogram measures the distance between MACD and its signal line (the 9-day EMA of MACD ). Aspray developed the MACD-Histogram to anticipate signal line crossovers in MACD . Because MACD uses moving averages and moving averages lag price, signal line crossovers can come late and affect the reward-to-risk ratio of a trade. Bullish or bearish divergences in the MACD-Histogram can alert chartists to an imminent signal line crossover in MACD
Aspray's contribution served as a way to anticipate (and therefore cut down on lag) possible MACD crossovers which are a fundamental part of the indicator.
• MACD-Leader, by Giorgos E. Siligardos, PhD
MACD Leader has the ability to lead MACD at critical situations. Almost all smoothing methods encounter in technical analysis are based on a relative-weighted sum of past prices, and the Leader is no exception. The concealed weights of MACD Leader are such that more relative weight is used in the more recent prices than the respective weights used by the components of MACD . In effect, the Leader expresses more changes in average price dynamics for the recent price movement than MACD , thus eventually leading MACD , especially when significant trend changes are about to take place.
• MACD-Source, a custom experimental interpretation of mine,
MACD Source, presents an application of MACD that evaluates Source/MA Ratio, relatively with less lag, as a basis for MACD Line, also can be expressed as source convergence/divergence to its moving average. Among the various techniques for removing the lag between price and moving average (MA) of the price, one in particular stands out: the addition to the moving average of a portion of the difference between the price and MA. MACD Source, is based on signal length mean of the difference between Source and average value of shot length and long length moving average of the source (Source/MA Ratio), where the source is actual value and hence no lag and relatively less lag with the average value of moving average of the source .
MACD Source provides relatively early crossovers comparing to MACD and better momentum direction indications, assuming the lengths are set to same values

MACD-AS MTF [JoseMetal]============
ENGLISH
============
- Description:
This script is a modification of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) of Thomas Aspray, and called as MACD-AS and you may get earlier signals than MACD.
On this (my version) you have several extra elements and customization.
Foremost (of course) you have the MACD-AS, which is the HISTOGRAM, also, it has a SIGNAL line (which smooths the MACD-AS), and finally, a higher timeframe oscillator based on one of the previous values (custom).
- Visuals, features, customization:
You can show/hide any of the components with a checkbox (MACD-AS, Signal and HTF Oscillator).
The timeframe for the higher timeframe oscillator is customizable, but by default is automatic and multiplies the chart timeframe by 3: 5m > 15m, 15m > 45m etc.
So we have the MACD-AS as a histogram, with 2 optional color schemes and custom transparency, it works similar to the original MACD, oscillating around the 0 level. Green colors (bull) if above 0, red (bear) below 0.
Smoothed MACD-AS makes the Signal line, going up (bull) shows green color, down (bear) red, changes from one to another also prints a colored dot. There's another feature which darkens the color when the momentum is losing strength, a strength filter input is available for that purpose but the default 0.5 works well.
The higher timeframe oscillator (it's called "oscillator" because you can pick if you want to show the MACD-AS or Signal line of the higher timeframe), is always shown as a line, colors work similar to the Signal line, but BLUE for bull and PINK for bear.
Finally, the background color just changes from green (bull) to red (bear) and vice versa if the Signal line is above or below the 0 line to show bull/bear trend too, this is slower than other indicator signals as well.
- Usage and recommendations:
You can use this script as default MACD, the difference is that you'll use the DOTs of the Signal line (when changing green to red and vice versa) as crossovers on the classic MACD.
You can also use the higher timeframe oscillator as a trend filter to not to trade against it, ex: if the HTF is bull, don't try to SHORT.
My favorite usage is to find DIVERGENCES with the MACD-AS (histogram) with the HTF MACD-AS histogram as well, having 2 confirmations, ex: 5m divergence + 15m divergence.
As always, suggestions are welcome.
Enjoy!

- Descripción:
Este script es una modificación del Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) de Thomas Aspray, y llamado como MACD-AS, se pueden obtener señales más tempranas que con el MACD.
En ésta (mi versión) tiene varios elementos adicionales y personalización.
En primer lugar (por supuesto) tienes el MACD-AS, que es el HISTOGRAMA, también, tiene una línea de SEÑAL (que suaviza el MACD-AS), y por último, un oscilador de marco de tiempo superior basado en uno de los valores anteriores (personalizado).
- Visuales, características, personalización:
Puedes mostrar/ocultar cualquiera de los componentes con un checkbox (MACD-AS, Señal y Oscilador HTF).
La temporalidad para el oscilador HTF es personalizable, pero por defecto es automático y multiplica la temporalidad del gráfico por 3: 5m > 15m, 15m > 45m etc.
El MACD-AS (histograma), con 2 esquemas de color opcionales y transparencia personalizada, funciona de forma similar al MACD original, oscilando alrededor del nivel 0. Colores verdes (alcista) si está por encima de 0, rojo (bajista) por debajo de 0.
El suavizado del MACD-AS hace la línea de señal, subiendo (alcista) muestra color verde, bajando (bajista) rojo, cambios de uno a otro también imprime un punto de color. Hay otra característica que oscurece el color cuando el impulso está perdiendo fuerza, una entrada de filtro de fuerza está disponible para ese propósito, pero el valor predeterminado 0,5 funciona bien.
El oscilador de temporalidad superior (se llama "oscilador" porque puedes elegir si quieres mostrar el MACD-AS o la línea de señal), siempre se muestra como una línea, los colores funcionan de forma similar a la línea de señal, pero AZUL para alcista y ROSA para bajista.
Por último, el color de fondo sólo cambia de verde (alcista) a rojo (bajista) y viceversa si la línea de señal está por encima o por debajo de la línea 0 para mostrar la tendencia alcista / bajista también, eso si, resulta más lento que otros avisos del indicador.
- Uso y recomendaciones:
Puedes usar este script como el MACD clásico, la diferencia es que usarán los PUNTOS de la línea de Señal (cuando cambie de verde a rojo y viceversa) como cruces en el MACD clásico.
También puedes usar el oscilador de mayor temporalidad como filtro de tendencia para no operar en contra de ella, ej: si el HTF es alcista, no intentes SHORTs.
Mi uso favorito es encontrar DIVERGENCIAS con el MACD-AS (histograma) y el HTF MACD-AS, teniendo 2 confirmaciones, ej: 5m divergencia + 15m divergencia.
Como siempre, las sugerencias son bienvenidas.
¡Que lo disfrutéis!
MACD Multi-Timeframe x4 (Custom Params)■About this indicator
・This indicator can display 4 MACD lines for different time frames. (Multi-time framework)
・The color of the MACD line changes when the MACD has a golden or dead cross.
All MACDs can be set individually for long time period, short time period, and signal smoothing.
All MACDs can show/hide MACD lines, signal lines, histograms, and select colors.
■Explanation of effective usage
By displaying MACDs in multiple time frames, you can time the push.
For example, let's say you have three MACDs: one weekly, one daily, and one hour.
With the weekly and daily MACDs continuing to golden cross, the timing for the hourly MACD to golden cross is considered a push opportunity.
An example chart is attached below for your reference.
The area circled vertically is a push-buying opportunity.
Yellow-green: Weekly Green: Daily Light blue: Hourly

MACD 3D with Signals [Quantigenics]Quantigenics MACD 3D with Buy Sell Signals is a MACD-based trading indicator that aims to identify market trends and potential turning points, for Buy/Sell opportunities, by leveraging price data and volatility.
Unlike the traditional MACD indicator, the average price is calculated from the high, low, and close prices, from which a specialized MACD value is derived. This MACD value, combined with an average and standard deviation, takes into account volatility, and is used to generate an upper and lower boundary.
The indicator color-codes market trends: aqua indicates upward trends (signifying increased buying pressure), red suggests downward trends (increased selling pressure). When the MACD value crosses above the upper boundary or falls below the lower boundary, the color changes to yellow indicating a possible reversal point and "Momentum Crossover Signals" can be plotted at this point. "Standard Signal" arrows can also plotted when the MACD 3D changes from auqa to red and vice-versa.
A trendline is drawn at the median value, providing a baseline for comparison. A differential value, which measures the distance between the MACD value and the median line, provides additional insight into the price's deviation from this baseline (divergences from the underlying price can be spotted using this data as well). The differential is color-coded: green when MACD is above the median, and red when it's below, with darker shades representing a decreasing gap.
Alerts can be set to trigger with the "Standard Signal" arrows appearing after MACD 3D changes from auqa to red and vice-versa and when the "Momentum Crossover Signal" arrows appear when the MACD value crosses above the upper boundary or falls below the lower boundary indicating a potential reversal. Providing immediate notifications which can be especially helpful in larger time frames where it may take time for a trade setup to develop.

3. Use three timeframe for more validation (choose between those, that fit to your trading style) :
- Timeframe 1m, 5m, and 15m for Scalping
- Timeframe 30m, 1h and 4h for Intraday
- Timeframe 4h, 1D and 1W for Swing Trading
4 . Always use THREE INDICATORS FROM GAMMAPROD, those three indicators is back to back each other, by the way, I only made those three indicators only (for now) :
- Trendlines Boll Ichi Crypto by Gammaprod
- Stoch RSI Divs Zone Crypto by Gammaprod
- MACD Volume Crypto by Gammaprod
>> How to setting :
1. Trendlines Boll Ichi Crypto by Gammaprod
A. Support and Resistence
- Well if you familiar with this indicator you can add it, but recommended for Timeframe 30m or more
B. Trendlines Primary or Trendlines Secondary
- Timeframe 1m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Primary or Trendlines Secondary
- Timeframe 5m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Secondary, but you CAN ADD Trendlines Primary if you fell it helpful (for me, it is helpful to find where the candles start or the end trend or a consolidation or where the candles will surpass a resistance or a support).
- Timeframe 15m you DON'T NEED Trendlines Secondary, DEFENITELY add Trendlines Primary it will help to find where the candles stop or a consolidation or where the candles will surpass a resistance or a support).
- Timeframe 30m or more, DEFENITELY NEED BOTH Trendlines Primary and Secondary Trendlines, it will help to find where the candle stop or consolidation or where the candle will surpass a resistance or support).
C. Bolinger, Ichimoku Cloud and Lagging Span
- Please DON'T CHANGE IT at all, it's really helpful to know when and where to make an entry decesion or a trend or a consolidation, if you don't understand how to read it, you better to learn it first (on "how to read" section and "How to OPEN position" the section below)
2. Stoch RSI Divs Zone Crypto by Gammaprod (DON'T CHANGE IT)
3. MACD Volume Crypto by Gammaprod (DON'T CHANGE IT)
>> How to read :
1. Sell or Buy Priority :
A. Buy Priority
- Color background on macd and stoch rsi is pink or purple sell is the priority, (if you're not sure to buy, just wait until the best moment to sell)
B. Buy Priority
- Color background on macd and stoch rsi Teal or light green buy is the priority, (if you're not sure to sell, just wait until the best moment to buy)
C. Indecision / Golden Moment
- Color background on stoch rsi yellow is indecision / golden moment of reversal pattern (wait until it formed background only on Stoch RSI), please becareful at this moment.
2. Trend / Consolidation :
A. BULLISH trend
- When Stoch RSI and MACD have teal or light green background that's means BULLISH trend, better to confirm by the candle is above green cloud and lagging span (red line) is also above the candle.
B. BEARISH trend
- When Stoch RSI and MACD have the Pink or purple background that's means BEARISH trend, better to confirm by the candle is above purple cloud and lagging span (red line) is also below the candle.
C. CONSOLIDATION
- When Stoch RSI have the mix background that's means CONSOLIDATION, better to confirm by the candle is in or near to green / purple cloud and lagging span (red line) is also on the candle.
3. Special Mark
A. Ideal Bullish :
- Near line 20 and green / teal background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on lime color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for buy
B. Not an Ideal Bullish :
- Near line 80 and green / teal background = if this happens make sure you know what happen, it could be a false signal or bullish continual pattern
C. Ideal Bearish :
- Near line 80 and pink / purple background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on lime color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for sell position.
D. Not an Ideal Bearish:
- Near line 20 and pink / purple background = if this happens make sure you know what happen, it could be a false signal or bearish continual pattern
E. The Beginning of Reversal (from BEARISH to BULLISH) :
- When Stoch RSI line shaping GREEN position is near 20.
- MACD lines still PINK, position lines is UNDER the HISTOGRAM, but the HISTOGRAM start to SHAPE FALL PINK (light pink) and the BACKGROUND still PINK / PURPLE.
- Position CANDLES NEAR BLUE line, NEAR PURPLE CLOUD, and lagging span (red line) STILL ON the area candle. (it used to be confirmed with the golden moment).
F. The Beginning of Reversal (from BULLISH to BEARISH) :
- When Stoch RSI line shaping PINK position is near 80.
- MACD lines still GREEN, position lines is ABOVE the HISTOGRAM, but the HISTOGRAM start to SHAPE FALL GREEN (light green) and the BACKGROUND still TEAL / GREEN.
- Position CANDLES NEAR WHITE line, NEAR TEAL CLOUD, and lagging span (red line) STILL ON the area candle. (it used to be confirmed with the golden moment).
G. False Signals, or It could be a Golden Moment (better to see it on TF 15 or bigger):
- Near line 20 or 80 and yellow background = When Stoch RSI have the char R / H on color label, that's means divergence or hidden divergence for buy / sell position, if you not see this label that's means just a standard confirmation for buy / sell depends on where the Stoch RSI line if near 20 that's means buy, near 80 means sell

Ashpi CVD + MACD AlertMACD Crossing + CVD Support
Red arrows signal short entries above the MACD zero line.
Green arrows signal long entries below the zero line.
Blue arrows indicate a re-entry into an existing long trend (crossing above the zero line), typically on pull-backs.
Yellow arrows indicate a re-entry into an existing short trend (crossing below the zero line).
Time-Frame Setup
- Entry on the 15-second chart
- Confirmation on the 30-second chart
- Trade management on the 1-minute chart (or higher)
Always follow the primary trend: RED = Short, GREEN = Long.
Sequence
1. RED signal appears → enter short
2. During the trade, if a GREEN arrow appears on the pull-back → exit trade, or add to position on a YELLOW arrow if the trend continues
The same applies to long trades and BLUE arrows.
Using EMAs (20, 50, 200) can help you spot structural breaks more clearly.
Signal Strength (Delta Distance to Zero Line)
The strength of each signal is enhanced by displaying the distance (delta) to the zero line in the chart:
- Green numbers mean the delta is already above its 10-period moving average (MA10).
- Red numbers mean the delta is below its MA10.
Identifying Sideways Markets
Use a standard MACD as an additional filter to spot ranging phases.
If YELLOW and BLUE arrows occur frequently in succession, it indicates the two MACD lines are moving very close together—trading such conditions should generally be avoided.
MACD strategy + Trailstop indicatorWelcome traveler !
Here is my first indicator I made after 3 days of hardlearning pine code (beginner in coding).
I hope it will please you, if you have any suggestion to enhance this indicator, do not hesitate to give me your thoughts in the comments section or by Private message on trading View !
How does it works ?
It's a simple MACD strategy as describe here :
Uses of EMA 200 as a trend confirmer,
For sells :
When above Zero line (MACD) and under EMA200, we go on sell (background color is red)
For buys:
When under Zero line (MACD) and above EMA 200, we go on Buy (back ground color is green)
FILTERS !
I haded one filter to reduce noise on the indicator :
Signals aren't taken if one of the 14 last candles closed on the other side of the EMA 14.
What are the green and red lines ?
The green line is equivalent of a potential stop loss as a buyer side, same for the red one on seller side !
To make the space with the price bigger, please use "ATR multiplier" in the input options of the indicator while on your chart !
Is it timeframe specific ?
Hell no it is not timeframe specific ! You can try to use it on every timeframe !
As usual, I like to remind you that the best way to test an indicator is to go backtest it or to paper trade before using it on real market conditions !
If you find an idea of filter for a specific timeframe, do not hesitate to contact me ! I'll try to do my best to enhance this indicator as the time goes !
Is there repainting ?
There is no repainting on confirmation !
There's only a movement that I don't know how to ignore on the current open candle for the trail stop indicator I built, it should not be a problem if you place alerts to automatise your trading on the close of the candle, and not the high or low !
If you know how to resolve this problem with my code, I would be glad to get your tips to enhance the script ! :)
Example of the indicator in market (backtest, as said, no repaint on confirmation) :
MACD Crossover with signalsMACD Crossover with signals - a simple trading indicator based on classic MACD.
It shows crossovers and plots them on chart as "Long" or "Short".
The MACD itself is not plotted in order to keep your charts cleaner.
By default, all the crossovers are displayed on the chart.
However, you can use only trend-based ones. They are filtered according to the trend (which is plotted and colored using 200 period EMA) and the "zero-line rule" of the MACD.
So if you consider using only trend-based signals, the indicator will only show Long signals on an uptrend and Short signals on a downtrend.
All signals/lines can be turned on/off and styled in the settings menu.
It can be used with all major timeframes and assets (crypto, fx, cfd, stocks, commodities etc).
Consider using it with respect to your trading style, money- and risk-management as well as other strategies and indicators.

MACD Pro Suite (Zeiierman)█ Overview
MACD Pro Suite (Zeiierman) redefines the classical MACD by transforming it into an adaptive market-behavior engine, instead of relying on a static fast–slow EMA configuration, the suite channels price through an efficiency matrix, a momentum acceleration core, and a multi-regime normalization layer. The result is a MACD architecture capable of shifting seamlessly between a volatility-conditioned oscillator, a probabilistic compression model, or a smooth, distribution-aware trend profiler, all emerging from the same underlying structure.
The MACD Pro Suite extends far beyond traditional MACD behavior by interpreting market structure in real time and adapting its responses to shifting conditions. It can detect subtle momentum transitions, quantify trend stability, reveal hidden inefficiencies in price movement, and highlight early regime shifts that standard oscillators completely overlook. Its dynamic normalization engine ensures consistency across different market environments, allowing the signal to remain clear during high volatility, low volatility, compression phases, expansions, and trend accelerations.
The system is designed to identify high-quality momentum turns, confirm trend continuity, and expose weakening market pressure before it becomes visible in price. It also reveals imbalances, impulses, and structural breaks with a level of precision that makes it valuable for discretionary traders seeking refined context and for systematic traders building rule-based models.
A built-in dashboard consolidates these behavioral states into an intuitive visual panel, making it easy to read market conditions at a glance and convert complex internal analysis into actionable insight.
⚪ Why This One Is Unique
MACD Pro Suite runs on a Hybrid Efficiency–Momentum engine that reshapes how the MACD responds to trend quality, noise, and impulse strength. This engine can operate in three distinct modes, letting the indicator shift between efficiency-driven behavior, momentum-driven behavior, or a balanced hybrid.
A multi-regime normalization system transforms the MACD into a stable, adaptive signal. It can operate as a volatility-balanced measure, a probability-styled compression model, a distribution-aware signal, or an ultra-smooth structural trend reader, all from the same core data. A real-time acceleration mechanism continuously adjusts the internal smoothing weights based on momentum intensity, giving the engine dynamic responsiveness as market conditions evolve.
Additional layers enhance this behavioral core:
Divergence mapping
Price inefficiency detection
Impulse markers
Adaptive exit structures
Significant move gradient zones
A multi-timeframe dashboard for immediate state awareness
█ Main Features
⚪ Efficiency Sources
Each efficiency source delivers a different style of structural interpretation, letting the MACD engine emphasize trend, pressure, or cyclical rotation depending on the chosen configuration and market environment.
Hybrid Efficiency–Momentum Core
In this mode, the MACD engine blends an efficiency-weighted price stream with momentum-based acceleration. The indicator adapts simultaneously to trend cleanliness, directional strength, and impulse intensity, giving it a balanced and highly reactive behavior profile.
Enhanced Momentum Core
Here, the engine uses raw price as the base input but applies a dynamic acceleration mechanism that adjusts internal EMA responsiveness in real time. The MACD becomes more reactive during strong momentum phases and more controlled during choppy, low-quality movement.
Efficiency Core
This framework routes the input through an efficiency pipeline where price, directional strength, or cyclic momentum is transformed into a cumulative efficiency path before MACD is calculated. It emphasizes structural clarity by suppressing noise and amplifying meaningful movement within the market.
⚪ MACD Shaping & Normalization Framework
Volatility Balanced Modes
These modes transform the MACD into a volatility-adjusted signal that automatically adapts to changing market conditions. The result is a cleaner and more stable read that adjusts naturally to expanding and contracting volatility while still preserving clear directional intent.
Tight Compression Modes
These shaping options re-scale MACD into compact 0 to 1 style ranges that are re-centered into a clean negative one to positive one structure. They produce a tightly controlled oscillator that highlights relative movement rather than raw amplitude.
Position Centered Modes
Here, the MACD is normalized using distribution-based scaling, allowing it to understand where it sits within its own movement range. This makes shifts in pressure and momentum easier to read and highlights when the indicator is moving into unusually strong or weak conditions.
Distribution Aware
These modes apply distribution-based transforms and robust statistical scaling. They stabilize MACD during irregular or skewed market conditions while preserving high-quality turning points
Volatility Filtered and Ultra Smooth Modes
These variants use multi-component volatility estimates and smoothed normalization to produce an exceptionally smooth MACD line. They maintain structure and trend behavior while filtering out low-value noise.
Robust Volatility Filtered
Ultra-Smooth Volatility Filter
⚪ Significant MACD Move
The Significant MACD module identifies when the MACD line enters a meaningful high-importance zone by evaluating its recent amplitude and confirming that momentum has held inside a defined activity region. Once active, a thicker overlay highlights periods where MACD is operating within this significant regime, while neutral phases use a base color for clear visual separation.
These highlights show when MACD is pressing into one of its internal pressure zones, helping you distinguish between ordinary momentum rotation and moments when the underlying push becomes strong enough to deserve attention. It is especially useful for spotting expansion phases, confirming breakouts, or identifying trend legs with real follow-through potential.
⚪ Signals
The suite includes directional signals that track meaningful shifts in market pressure and help highlight emerging turns or continuation strength, offering clear guidance when the market begins to turn or strengthen.
⚪ Divergences
When enabled, the suite automatically scans for regular bullish and bearish divergence between MACD and price. It identifies and marks structural pivot points where momentum and price begin to disagree. Because the MACD engine is built on efficiency and momentum rather than raw price alone, it can surface uncommon or non-traditional divergence structures that do not appear on standard indicators, often with noticeably higher accuracy.
Regular Bullish Divergence
MACD forms a higher low while price sets a lower low, signaling potential upward rotation.
Regular Bearish Divergence
MACD forms a lower high while price sets a higher high, indicating possible weakening momentum.
⚪ Price Inefficiency
The Price Inefficiency engine evaluates how balanced or imbalanced market movement is by analyzing a composite stream built from price, normalized MACD, normalized Signal, and smoothed structure. It measures how efficiently the market is progressing and identifies when movement becomes unstable, irregular, or out of sync with its underlying trend profile.
Blue diamonds plotted along the MACD zero line highlight periods where inefficiency is detected. This layer exposes subtle structural imbalances that often precede volatility bursts, failed moves, or regime transitions, giving traders early insight into when the market is behaving cleanly and when it is slipping into disorder.
⚪ Impulse Markers
The Impulse module identifies statistically extreme expansions in a smoothed, price-derived momentum stream. It highlights moments when momentum surges beyond normal behavior, marking them as either positive or negative impulses.
⚪ Visual Multi-Timeframe Dashboard
Along the right edge of the pane, a compact dashboard summarizes the MACD environment across 5M, 15M, 1H, 2H, 4H, and 1D. Each column reflects a key behavioral element derived from the MACD Pro Suite:
MACD Value – raw MACD pressure showing strength, weakness, or extreme displacement
MACD Signals – directional bias such as Long, Short, or neutral transitions
Histogram Signals – bull/bear momentum pulses extracted from the histogram structure
Divergence – bullish or bearish conflicts between MACD behavior and price movement
Inefficiency – imbalance zones where price behaves unstably or inefficiently
Impulse Moves – active bullish or bearish momentum bursts detected in real time
Think of it as a “MACD climate map.” Instead of flipping through multiple charts, you get an instant visual read on whether lower timeframes support the higher-timeframe environment or move against it. This makes multi-timeframe alignment straightforward and helps you decide when conditions favor aggressiveness, patience, or stepping aside entirely.
█ How to Use
The MACD Pro Suite is built to be exceptionally flexible. Because its core engine adapts to trend quality, volatility conditions, structural efficiency, and momentum strength, it can be shaped into almost any style of MACD behavior you need. From smooth trend-profiling to tight compression signals, from volatility-balanced structure to aggressive momentum tracking, the suite can be tuned to match your strategy, timeframe, and market environment.
Rather than forcing you into one interpretation of MACD, the framework gives you a set of behavioral modes that respond intelligently to changing conditions. It can act as a trend tool, a reversal detector, a structure mapper, or a regime classifier depending on how you configure it. This agility is what makes the suite useful for discretionary traders and system builders alike.
⚪ Classic MACD Trading
In its traditional form, MACD is used to track shifts in momentum and trend direction. The MACD line crossing above the Signal line often signals upward pressure, while crossing below suggests momentum is weakening or rotating downward. The histogram shows the distance between the two, making acceleration or deceleration easy to see at a glance.
These same interpretations apply directly within the MACD Pro Suite. Even with its advanced engines and normalization layers, the MACD and Signal lines still behave intuitively: crossovers mark directional shifts, zero-line transitions indicate broader trend bias, and histogram contractions or expansions reveal early momentum changes. This means you can trade it just like a classic MACD while benefiting from a far more adaptive and stable internal engine.
⚪ Fading Momentum Trading
MACD helps you spot fading momentum by watching the MACD line lose its slope and drift back toward the signal line. When the line stops accelerating and starts flattening, it’s a clear sign the trend is running out of strength. You also see fading momentum when both lines start moving back toward the midline, showing the impulse behind the trend is weakening even if the price hasn’t reversed yet.
Fading Momentum + Signals
If you spot fading momentum together with one of our Signals, it becomes a much stronger confirmation that the move is losing strength. When MACD momentum fades at the same time a Signal fires, the probability of a pullback or reversal increases significantly.
Fading Momentum + Divergences
The same applies when fading momentum aligns with divergences. If price makes a new high or low but the MACD line or histogram makes a weaker high/low, the divergence confirms that momentum is not supporting the move. Combined with fading MACD momentum, this is one of the strongest early warnings of an upcoming reversal.
⚪ Volatility and Breakout Trading
Volatility and breakout trading focus on how the market expands and contracts rather than on direction alone, and MACD Pro reacts beautifully to these shifts. When volatility increases, the MACD line tends to widen, steepen, or oscillate more aggressively. This makes it easier to see when the market is entering a high-energy phase that can lead to sharp breakouts or fast directional moves. As volatility cools, the MACD Pro begins to tighten and compress, with both the line and histogram pulling back toward equilibrium. This compression signals a contraction phase, often the calm before the next expansion.
You can spot volatility expansion when the MACD line or histogram behaves noticeably differently from recent behavior, such as sudden widening, rapid swings, or strong impulse signatures. These changes often highlight a volatility burst building beneath the surface. When that burst fades and the MACD compresses again, the market is usually preparing for a decisive move.
Settings used for Volatility and Breakout Trading:
Example Setting 1
MACD Moving average type: WMA
MACD Shaping: Raw MACD Behaviour
Momentum Multiplier: 6
Example Settings 2
MACD Shaping: Robust Volatility Filter
Momentum Multiplier: Increase toward 5
Example Setting 3
MACD Shaping: Distribution Balanced
Increase Momentum Multiplier: to exaggerate volatility bursts
Increase Efficiency Length: to filter minor fluctuations
⚪ Overbought / Oversold Trading
Overbought and oversold trading focuses on identifying when the price has stretched too far and is likely to rotate back toward balance. With the right shaping, the MACD can behave more like a bounded oscillator, making it easier to spot exhaustion on both sides of the range. When using tighter shaping or position-weighted behavior, the MACD becomes more responsive to market extremes while suppressing noise.
You can interpret overbought conditions when the MACD begins pressing into the upper region of its shaping range, showing that bullish momentum is becoming stretched. When it leans into the lower region, it signals oversold conditions and weakening bearish pressure. These zones help highlight exhaustion points, mean-reversion opportunities, and areas where a reversal or rotation is becoming increasingly likely.
Example settings:
MACD Shaping: Volatility Balanced
MACD Shaping: Tight 0–1 Band
MACD Shaping: Position Weighted
█ How It Works
⚪ Hybrid Efficiency–Momentum Engine
The core engine blends efficiency analysis with momentum dynamics, creating an adaptive MACD input stream that shifts between efficiency-centric, momentum-driven, or hybrid behavior depending on the selected mode.
Calculation: Builds the MACD input from either an efficiency-weighted cumulative path or a momentum-driven price stream, chosen by the engine mode.
⚪ Adaptive Momentum Response
A real-time responsiveness layer adjusts how quickly MACD reacts based on changes inside its structure. It becomes more responsive during fast-moving phases and naturally smooths itself during slower or noisy conditions.
Calculation: Computes a normalized responsiveness factor from structural deviation and injects it into the smoothing weights of the MACD EMAs.
⚪ Normalization & Behavior Shaping
A multi-regime shaping system re-scales and re-centers MACD using volatility filters, distribution transforms, compression modes, and ultra-smooth normalization to create consistent behavior across assets and volatility regimes.
Calculation: Applies shaping formulas to both MACD and Signal, then re-centers outputs to zero for unified interpretation.
⚪ Directional Signals
A lightweight structural reversal system highlights meaningful directional shifts, assisting with entries, exits, and bias confirmation during momentum transitions.
Calculation: Uses volatility-adjusted logic to detect directional flips and plot Up or Down markers.
⚪ Divergence Layer
The divergence engine detects structural disagreement between MACD and price, often surfacing uncommon divergence patterns thanks to the efficiency–momentum architecture.
Calculation: Identifies MACD pivots, aligns them with price pivots, and validates divergence through comparative structural thresholds.
⚪ Price Inefficiency Engine
This module evaluates imbalance in market structure by merging price behavior with internal MACD signals, highlighting unstable or disordered movement phases.
Calculation: Computes an inefficiency score from a blended composite source and maps imbalance intensity through adaptive thresholds.
⚪ Impulse Module
A momentum-intensity detector reveals statistically significant bursts in directional pressure, marking early expansion phases or exhaustion points.
Calculation: Extracts local extremes from a smoothed momentum field and confirms persistent surges through a cluster-based filter.
⚪ Significant MACD
This layer isolates high-importance momentum zones, making strong structural moves stand out clearly against routine oscillation.
Calculation: Evaluates MACD’s recent amplitude range and confirms when it enters a significant activity region, then applies enhanced visual styling.

MACD divergence with line drawing by RexioAnother appoach to finding divergences at MACD. This time I think it is much smoother so I could check for divergences between two "peaks" at MACD.
I added my SL line which is last peak +- 1xATR. And the second line is peak between two points of divergence and most of the time it acts like an SR line.
If the higher timeframe trend backs up our divergence (for example: higher trend UP - divergence for L position) I can try to jump in after crossing EMA10.
This indicator is only sugestion for me. I always check price action, trend, SR line before I take any action.
Every people who will test this indicator need to know basics about divergences as THISE ARE NOT BUY/SELL SIGNALS.

MACD w/ Divergences (Alert)To best use the MACD Divergence indicators, adjust the following settings accordingly.
• MACD Bullish Divergence Under: <0 (lower for larger volatility and more bearish markets)
• MACD Bearish Divergence Above: >0 (higher for larger volatility and more bullish markets)
Key Notes:
1. Set "Once Per Bar" instead of "Once Per Bar Close" alert.
The strategy already uses prior bar close (instead of current bar close) for calculation. This ensures that the signals will stay as they are after fired off, even when the current bar price is still changing.
2. It's OKAY to see the "alert may trigger differently than expected" warning.
Reason why you are seeing this warning is because we used a function called valuewhen() in our strategy. This function does not look at the entire history of data and has several limitations. For instance, on a 30min resolution, at the end of 2018, the function will be able to find past occurrences of BTC exceeding 16k. However, the function won't be able to find such occurrences at the end of 2019. Since our strategy is only concerned with very recent events, these limitations will not impact our results or cause repainting. You can find out more about this in the TradingView Wiki .
