EMA50Diff & MACD StrategyOne of my attempts to create a strategy for BTC.
Its a combination of EMA50Diff (the difference between spot and EMA50) and MACD.
Buy signal if (EMA50Diff) < -(EMADiffThreshold),
(MACD bearish crossunder),
(MACD) < -(MACDThreshold),
(EMA50Diff) > (EMA50Diff 1 candle ago),
(EMA50Diff 1 candle ago) < (EMA50Diff 2 candles ago)
Sell signal if (EMA50Diff) > (EMADiffThreshold),
(MACD bullish crossover),
(MACD) > (MACDThreshold),
(EMA50Diff) < (EMA50Diff 1 candle ago),
(EMA50Diff 1 candle ago) > (EMA50Diff 2 candles ago)
Exit either when target or stoploss get reached.
Initial capital is set to 100k and its currently going all-in on every trade but im looking for a better way to handle position sizes already..
Also i included slippage of 30 ticks and exchange commission of 0.15% (e.g. 2x BitMEX market taker fee)
Works best on 15m on bitfinex, bitstamp and gdax and i'm still trying to optimize it for bitmex too, will update when i got there..

Gunbot MACDgenOk this is just some strat based on MACD, checking for a few conditions until giving buy/sell signals to Gunbot via alerts.
It is generalized but if you want to go play with the values. I will continue to develop this further and am happy to receive feedback.
Notations are coming.
Usage notes:
-ONLY use this with TV_GAIN: 0.6 because on downtrends it is supposed to double up to pull down the average bought price!
-Use "buying condition" and "selling condition" for alerts, trigger on close and I suggest you use 3 min intervals but try what looks good to you
-Use this on pairs that are curvy and have atleast 0.6% gain between buy/sell triggers. This is also general advise when you want to take microprofits.
-Don't be confused with sell arrows, it will only trigger the bot sell on gain when you've set TV_GAIN
Grimes Modified MACD Supply DemandA follower of mine asked me if I could make a version of my www.tradingview.com script using the MACD. Well it just so happens I was making a few modifications to my MACD script: just as this question came up so I went ahead and threw this together.
The MACD that triggers the SR zones is pictured below, with key trigger points encircled to illustrate how it works.
Elastic Volume Weighted MACD ( EVWMACD )The Elastic Volume Weighted MACD is a variation of standard MACD.
The Difference is that this script apply the formula of standard MACD with the Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average.
I took the formula of EVWMA from public library coded by LazyBear.
I use EVWMACD as a trend confirmation indicator.
Just tune all lengths and parameters according to your instruments
L'MACD GUNHi all!
I would like to present you my universal MACD module.
In addition to the standard functions I have added several improvements:
Source Selection.
In addition to the standard calculation of the moving average "EMA", in the parameter "MA Type" I have added 52 more methods for calculating the MA! :
ADXMA, AHMA, ALF, ALMA, ARI, ARSI, BlackFilter, CTI, DoubleEma, DTA, DWMA, EEO, EHMA, ELA, EMARSI, EREA, HEMA, hma, HWMA, JAMA, KA, KAMA, LSMA, LWMA, McGinley_2, MNMA, PAW, REMA, rma, RMF, RMTA, RWMA, sma, SMMA, SuperSmooth, THMA, TilsonT3, TMA, TRAMA, TripleEma, TSF, VAMA, VAR, VHMA, VIDYA, VVMA, vwma, WCD, wma, WWMA, ZEMA, ZLMA !
Additional histogram and lines from the higher timeframe. With the parameter "Multiple of TF" you can specify on which timeframe the standard histogram should be zoomed.
The Zoom function allows increasing or decreasing the size of the histogram. (It does not affect the calculations in any way, it is only used for visualization purposes.)
How to use it?
I recommend using it as a standard MACD. You can test different types of moving averages thanks to my modules and choose the one you find most suitable.
Tips:
The script is slightly heavy and may take a little longer to load than usual.
All MA types are in alphabetical order and tied to numbers.
Next to the "MA Type" parameter there is a hint which method of calculating MA corresponds to the figure. The default is 15. In the hint 15 = EMA. This is the standard method of calculating the MAСD.
To select the MA more quickly. You can switch them with the mouse wheel or the arrows on the keyboard.
I use the standard parameters prescribed in the script.
The code is calibrated for any TF and displays as correctly as possible. Can be used on any type of chart.
Stock Market Strategy : VWAP, MACD, EMA, Breakout, BBHello there,
Today I bring you a stock market strategy, specialized in NASDAQ stocks.
Its a daytrading strategy, that can only do a max of 1 trade per day. In this case it only trades the first 2 opening hours of the market.
The rules are simple :
We follow the trend based on a big EMA, in this case 200, after that, we check for VWAP direction , then, we check histogram from MACD. This is the simple logic of the strategy.
Inside there is another strategy, that not just do the above, but also uses Bollinger bands, and checks for breakout of bottom or top line. Also it uses Average directional Index, for even a bigger criteria .
So for example a long condition it would be : candle is above the ema, and candle is above vwap, and histogram is positive, and candle break the top bb level and ADI < 40 -> long signal . The opposite works for short(ADI > 20).
In this case all this criterias are between the first 2 hours of market. So we enter between the first hour, and exit in the next hour. For this we need to use very short time frames.
Hope you enjoy it.
Let me know if you have any questions
Mirror MACD by Trader JayThis is my take on the metatrader indicator, the mirror macd. Works pretty good on Forex, haven't tested on anything else
Enter long after the Blue Line Cross Up the Red Line and EXIT after the Green line Cross Up the Red Line (above the Blue Line).
For the opposite position : ENTER SELL after the Red Line Cross Down.

Features:
- multi-color histogram
- background color change when MACD tops or bottoms
- additional smoothing using Triple EMA
Recommended settings:
- Triple EMA length 10 seem to be a good trade-off between smoothness and responsiveness
BRT MACD CustomBRT MACD Custom — Adaptive and Flexible MACD for Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The BRT MACD Custom is an advanced version of the traditional MACD indicator, offering additional flexibility and adaptability for multi-timeframe trading. This custom script allows traders to adjust the calculation parameters for MACD to suit their specific trading strategy, timeframe, and market conditions.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support
Unlike the standard MACD, this indicator lets you choose a specific timeframe (different from the chart timeframe) for calculating MACD values. This feature provides more flexibility in analyzing market trends on multiple timeframes without changing the main chart.
Example: You can analyze MACD on a 15-minute timeframe even when your chart is set to 1-minute, giving you broader market insights.
Customizable EMA and Signal Settings
Users can adjust the fast and slow EMA lengths as well as the signal smoothing to better align with their preferred trading strategies. The script allows switching between the two popular types of moving averages — SMA or EMA — for both the MACD and the signal line.
Volatility-Based Adaptive EMA
The script includes an adaptive mechanism for EMA calculation. When the selected timeframe closes, the indicator dynamically adjusts the calculation, ensuring the MACD values respond quickly to market volatility. This makes the indicator more reactive compared to static MACD implementations.
Shift Options for MACD, Signal, and Histogram
The indicator allows shifting the MACD, signal line, and histogram values by one or more bars. This can be useful for backtesting and simulating strategies where you anticipate future price movements.
Signal Alerts for Long and Short Trades
The script generates visual signals when certain conditions are met, indicating potential long or short trade opportunities. These signals are based on MACD and histogram crossovers:
Long Signal: Triggered when MACD is above the signal line and both are rising.
Short Signal: Triggered when MACD is below the signal line and both are falling.
Custom Plotting
The MACD line, signal line, and histogram are plotted on the chart for easy visualization. The histogram changes colors to reflect positive or negative momentum:
Green shades when MACD is above the signal line.
Red shades when MACD is below the signal line.
Applications in Trading
The BRT MACD Custom is ideal for traders who need flexibility in their technical analysis. Its multi-timeframe capabilities and customizable moving averages make it suitable for day trading, swing trading, and long-term investing across a variety of markets.
Scalping: Use the 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe to identify short-term trends while calculating MACD on a higher timeframe such as 15 or 30 minutes.
Swing Trading: Apply the indicator on 1-hour or 4-hour charts to detect mid-term trends.
Long-Term Investing: Analyze daily or weekly charts with longer EMA periods to confirm market direction before making large investments.

Bar Coloring: Bars are colored green when the MACD is above the Signal line (bullish), red when the MACD is below (bearish), and blue during neutral conditions.
Histogram with Custom Colors: A customizable histogram visualizes the difference between the MACD and Signal lines with color-coding to represent changes in momentum.
Cross Dots: Visual markers at points where the MACD crosses the Signal line for easy identification of potential trend shifts.
This indicator is a versatile tool for traders who want to visualize MACD-based momentum and crossover signals in multiple timeframes with clear visual cues on price bars.
Scalping with Williams %R, MACD, and SMA (1m)Overview:
This trading strategy is designed for scalping in the 1-minute timeframe. It uses a combination of the Williams %R, MACD, and SMA indicators to generate buy and sell signals. It also includes alert functionalities to notify users when trades are executed or closed.
Indicators Used:
Williams %R : A momentum indicator that measures overbought and oversold conditions. The Williams %R values range from -100 to 0.
Length: 140 bars (i.e., 140-period).
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) : A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price.
Fast Length: 24 bars
Slow Length: 52 bars
MACD Length: 9 bars (signal line)
SMA (Simple Moving Average) : A trend-following indicator that smooths out price data to create a trend-following indicator.
Length: 7 bars
Conditions and Logic:
Timeframe Check :
The strategy is designed specifically for the 1-minute timeframe. If the current chart is not on the 1-minute timeframe, a warning label is displayed on the chart instructing the user to switch to the 1-minute timeframe.
Williams %R Conditions :
Buy Condition: The strategy looks for a crossover of Williams %R from below -94 to above -94. This indicates a potential buying opportunity when the market is moving out of an oversold condition.
Sell Condition: The strategy looks for a crossunder of Williams %R from above -6 to below -6. This indicates a potential selling opportunity when the market is moving out of an overbought condition.
Deactivate Buy: If Williams %R crosses above -40, the buy signal is deactivated, suggesting that the buying condition is no longer valid.
Deactivate Sell: If Williams %R crosses below -60, the sell signal is deactivated, suggesting that the selling condition is no longer valid.
MACD Conditions :
MACD Histogram: Used to identify the momentum and the direction of the trend.
Long Entry: The strategy initiates a buy order if the MACD histogram shows a positive bar after a negative bar while a buy condition is active and Williams %R is above -94.
Long Exit: The strategy exits the buy position if the MACD histogram turns negative and is below the previous histogram bar.
Short Entry: The strategy initiates a sell order if the MACD histogram shows a negative bar after a positive bar while a sell condition is active and Williams %R is below -6.
Short Exit: The strategy exits the sell position if the MACD histogram turns positive and is above the previous histogram bar.
Trend Confirmation (Using SMA) :
Bullish Trend: The strategy considers a bullish trend if the current price is above the 7-bar SMA. A buy signal is only considered if this condition is met.
Bearish Trend: The strategy considers a bearish trend if the current price is below the 7-bar SMA. A sell signal is only considered if this condition is met.
Alerts:
Long Entry Alert: An alert is triggered when a buy order is executed.
Long Exit Alert: An alert is triggered when the buy order is closed.
Short Entry Alert: An alert is triggered when a sell order is executed.
Short Exit Alert: An alert is triggered when the sell order is closed.
Summary:
Buy Signal: Activated when Williams %R crosses above -94 and the price is above the 7-bar SMA. A buy order is placed if the MACD histogram shows a positive bar after a negative bar. The buy order is closed when the MACD histogram turns negative and is below the previous histogram bar.
Sell Signal: Activated when Williams %R crosses below -6 and the price is below the 7-bar SMA. A sell order is placed if the MACD histogram shows a negative bar after a positive bar. The sell order is closed when the MACD histogram turns positive and is above the previous histogram bar.
This strategy combines momentum (Williams %R), trend-following (MACD), and trend confirmation (SMA) to identify trading opportunities in the 1-minute timeframe. It is designed for short-term trading or scalping.
Flat & Trend MACD💡 The MACD indicator with trend interpretation and flat zones on top of the chart!
👉 This indicator clearly shows the zones of predominance of buyers, sellers, as well as zones of uncertainty (flat).
Suitable for any instrument and timeframe!
The MACD settings are standard.
The setup menu sets the length of Fast, Slow and smoothing for calculating the MACD oscillator.
🔹The indicator tracks the value of the MACD relative to zero, taking into account the uncertainty zone, which is calculated at 50% of the average value of the deviation of the MACD for a short period. This avoids most false buy and sell signals.
🔹When the MACD value is positive and goes beyond uncertainty, a buy signal appears (green triangle on the chart), when the MACD value is negative and goes beyond uncertainty, a sell signal appears (red triangle on the chart). The built-in alert gives a signal of a trend change.
Also, the trend direction is highlighted by the background color of the price channel on the chart.
🔹If the MACD value is in the zone of uncertainty of the buyer and seller, the background turns gray and an orange square appears on the chart. The built-in alert gives a signal about the beginning of the flat zone.
A scoreboard is displayed in the upper right corner, which shows the current status of the indicator and a warning about the presence of a flat.

MACD Normalized [ChartPrime]Overview of MACD Normalized Indicator
The MACD Normalized indicator, serves as an asset for traders seeking to harness the power of the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) combined with the advantages of the stochastic oscillator. This novel indicator introduces a normalized MACD, offering a potentially enhanced flexibility and adaptability to numerous market conditions and trading techniques.
This indicator stands out by normalizing the MACD to its average high and average low, also factoring in the deviation of the high-low position from the mean. This approach incorporates the high and low in the calculations, providing the benefits of stochastic without its common drawbacks, such as clipping problems. As a result, the indicator becomes exceptionally versatile and suitable for various trading strategies, including both faster and slower settings.
The MACD Normalized Indicator boasts a variety of options and settings. The features include:
Enable Ribbon: Toggle the display of the ribbon accompanying the MACD Normalized, as desired.
Fast Length: Determine the movement speed of the fast line to receive advance notice of potential market opportunities.
Slow Length: Control the movement pace of the slow line for smoother signals and a comprehensive outlook on market trends.
Average Length: Specify the length used to calculate the high and low averages, providing greater control over the indicator's granularity.
Upper Deviation: Establish the extent to which the high and low values deviate from the mean, ensuring adaptability to diverse market situations.
Inner Band (Middle Deviation): Adjust the balance between the high and low deviations to create an inner band signal, giving traders a secondary level of market analysis and decision-making support.
Enable Candle Color: Enable the coloring of candles based on the MACD Normalized value for effortless visualization of trading potential.
Use Cases for the MACD Normalized Indicator
In addition to analyzing market trends and identifying potential trading opportunities, ChartPrime's MACD Normalized Indicator offers a range of applications for traders. These use cases encompass distinct trading scenarios and strategies:
Overbought and Oversold Regions
One of the key applications of the MACD Normalized Indicator is identifying overbought and oversold regions. Overbought refers to a situation where an asset's price has risen significantly and is expected to face a downturn, while oversold indicates a price drop that may subsequently lead to a reversal.
By adjusting the indicator's parameters, such as the upper and inner deviation levels, traders can set precise boundaries to determine overbought and oversold areas. When the MACD moves into the upper region, it may signal that the asset is overbought and due for a price correction. Conversely, if the MACD enters the lower region, it possibly indicates an oversold condition with the potential for a price rebound.
Signal Line Crossovers
The MACD Normalized Indicator displays two lines: the fast line and the slow line (inner band). A common trading strategy involves observing the intersection of these two lines, known as a crossover. When the fast line crosses above the slow line, it may signify a bullish trend or a potential buying opportunity. Conversely, a crossover with the fast line moving below the slow line typically indicates a bearish trend or a selling opportunity.
Divergence and Convergence
Divergence occurs when the price movement of an asset does not align with the corresponding MACD values. If the price establishes a new high while the MACD fails to do the same, a bearish divergence emerges, suggesting a potential downtrend. Similarly, a bullish divergence takes place when the price forms a new low but the MACD does not follow suit, hinting at an upcoming uptrend.
Convergence, on the other hand, is represented by the MACD lines moving closer together. This movement signifies a potential change in the trend, providing traders with a timely opportunity to enter or exit the market.
Color Changing MACDJapanese below / 日本語説明は下記
This indicator shows MACD with its colors changing based on trend strength.
The purpose of this indicator is to visually understand phases of trends, which are beginning, advancing and ending, measuring the range between MACD line and signal line.
Since MACD is originated from moving average, the range between MACD line and signal line gradually expands as trends progress while the range gets narrowed as trends come closer to the end. The indicator visualizes this characteristics.
The colors change as follows:
Green: In bullish trend, the range between MACD and signal gets expanded from previous candle, which indicates up trends continue
Purple: The range between MACD and signal gets narrowed from previous candle, which indicates trends gradually come to end.
Red: In bearish trend, the range between MACD and signal gets expanded from previous candle, which indicates down trends continue
See the chart below.
Features
Coloring
MACD line and signal line's colors change according to the logic above.
You can also fill the gap between MACD line and signal line with the same color changing logic as lines.
Signals

Impulse Momentum MACD - Slow and FastImpulse Momentum MACD - Slow and Fast
The Momentum indicator is a technical indicator that measures the speed and strength of the price movement of a financial asset. This indicator is used to identify the underlying strength of a trend and predict potential changes in price direction, when the indicator crosses the zero line, it can signal a change of direction in the price trend.
On the other hand, the MACD is an indicator used to identify the trend and strength of the market and shows the difference between two exponential moving averages ( EMA ) of different periods. The MACD is commonly used to determine the direction of an asset's price trend.
COPOSITION AND USE OF THE INDICATOR
This script is an implementation of the Impulse Momentum MACD indicator with two variations: slow and fast. It uses a combination of the Momentum indicator and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator to identify trend reversals and momentum changes in an asset's price.
The combination of both indicators can help traders identify market entry and exit opportunities. The Impulse Momentum MACD is a Modified MACD, it is formed by filtering the values in a range of Modifiable Moving Averages by calculating their high and low ranges,This indicator has two parts: a slow part and a fast part. The slow part uses input values for the lengths of the moving averages and the length of the signal for the MACD indicator. The fast part uses different input values for the lengths of the moving averages. Also, each part has its own set of line colors and histogram colors for easy visualization.
The script also includes inputs to choose the type of moving average to use (SMA, EMA, etc.), the lookback period, the colors for the histogram lines and bars, and a zero trend line (also known as a horizontal trend line). ).
* Highest performing custom settings for the zero trend line. For Operations of:
- One Minute: Trend Line Time Frame = Five Minutes.
- Three Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Fifteen Minutes.
- Five Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Thirty Minutes.
- Fifteen Minutes: Trend Line Time Frame = Sixty Minutes.
Rules For Trading
🔹 Bullish:
* The Zero Horizontal Trend Line should be in Green Color.
* The Slow Histogram Bar should be in Green Color.
* The Fast Histogram Bar must be in Blue or Black Color or No Bar Appears.
* The Momentum Line or Momentum Area must be in Green Color.
crosses:
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow signal line upwards.
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast signal line upwards.
- Note 1: A Position is Opened when the condition of any of the aforementioned crossovers is met.
- Note 2: If the two aforementioned crossings anticipate the condition of the Zero Horizontal Tendency Line because it is in Red; A position is only opened immediately when the Zero Horizontal Trend line turns Green.
🔹 Bearish:
* The Zero Horizontal Trend Line should be in Red Color.
* The Slow Histogram Bar should be in Red Color.
* The Fast Histogram Bar must be in Blue or Black Color or No Bar Appears.
* The Momentum Line or Momentum Area must be in Red Color.
crosses:
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Slow signal line downwards.
- When the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast line crosses the Impulse Momentum MACD Fast signal line downwards.
- Note 1: A Position is Opened when the condition of any of the aforementioned crossovers is met.
- Note 2: If the two aforementioned crossings anticipate the condition of the Zero Horizontal Tendency Line because it is Green, an immediate position is only opened when the Zero Horizontal Tendency line turns Red.
This script can be used in different markets such as forex, indices and cryptocurrencies for analysis and trading. However, it is important to note that no trading strategy is guaranteed to be profitable, and traders should always conduct their own research and risk management.
MTF MACD (PPO) [TANHEF]Mult-Timeframe Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) indicator that allows for viewing of 1 to 5 different Timeframes.
Brief Summary
The primary benefit of multi-timeframe indicators is getting better entries and confirmation from viewing multiple time frames at once, which can often get overlooked.
MACD shouldn't be only used by itself, it is a lot more consistent when applied in the same direction as the trend as well as multiple other things including support, resistance, and volume improve the outcomes of the MACD results.
Personally, I look for good entries on higher and lower time frames (multiple timeframes must agree with the buying or selling). For example, if a higher timeframe looks like a good long entry (MACD line is crossing up and below the zero line), then the lower timeframes should be checked to ensure they are not oversold or overextended (the MACD line must be low or below the zero), once the lower and higher timeframes are in agreeance an entry can be made.
What is Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)?
Moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of the price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA.
What is the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)?
The PPO is identical to the MACD indicator, except the PPO measures percentage difference between two EMAs, while the MACD measures absolute (or dollar) difference. The PPO has the advantage of being comparable to other assets with different prices, whereas MACD readings are not comparable. For example, regardless of the asset's price, a PPO result of 10 means the short-term average is 10% above the long-term average.
A signal line can be displayed on Timeframe, including:
- MACD & Signal Line crosses (Green when MACD above Signal Line and Red when MACD below Signal Line)
- Histogram Direction (fast and slow EMA gap)
- SuperTrend for identifying trend direction (green for uptrend, red for downtrend)
- EMA Trend for identifying trend direction (above EMA = up trend and green, below EMA = down trend and red)
Cross Dots and Potential cross dots
- Green Dot, is displayed when the MACD crosses the Signal Line
- Red Dot, is displayed when the MACD crosses the Signal Line
- Yellow Dot. Potential cross up (green dot) on next bar. Displayed when if the same distance a MACD moves on a bar is applied to the next bar will cause a MACD and Signal Line Cross. This is calculated by checking if the value change of one bar is added to the current MACD value would lead to a cross on the next bar, the it is a potential up dot.
- Purple Dot. Potential cross down (red dot) on next bar. Displayed when if the same distance a MACD moves on a bar is applied to the next bar will cause a MACD and Signal Line Cross. This is calculated by checking if the value change of one bar is added to the current MACD value would lead to a cross on the next bar, the it is a potential down dot.
Best Fit Settings
- Can be applied to the MACD, Signal Line, and Histogram to re-scale (stretch) to fit them within the space of the +2 and -2 range that each timeframe is provided on this indicator.
- The lookback distance value is used to lookback a certain distance to ensure everything scaled to fit well.
Labels are displayed on the right of the indicators, including:
- a label identifying 'line indicator' is currently being displayed
- the Timeframe corresponding to each MACD or PPO indicator
- the MACD or PPO of each Timeframe
Reverse MACD IndicatorIntroducing the reverse MACD Indicator.
This is my Pinescript implementation of the reverse MACD indicator.
Much respect to Mr Johnny Dough the original creator of this idea.
Feel free to reuse this script, drop me a note below if you find this useful.
Investopedia defines the MACD as 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 .
The result of that calculation is the MACD line.
A nine-day EMA of the MACD called the "signal line," is then plotted on top of the MACD line, which can function as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
Traders may buy the security when the MACD crosses above its signal line and sell—or short—the security when the MACD crosses below the signal line.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) indicators can be interpreted in several ways, but the more common methods are crossovers, divergences, and rapid rises/falls.
MACD triggers technical signals when it crosses above (to buy) or below (to sell) its signal line.
The speed of crossovers is also taken as a signal of a market is overbought or oversold.
MACD helps investors understand whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price is strengthening or weakening.
The MACD has a positive value (shown as the red line on the price chart ) whenever the 12-period EMA ( indicated by the blue line on the price chart) is above the 26-period EMA (the red line in the price chart) and a negative value when the 12-period EMA is below the 26-period EMA .
The more distant the MACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the two EMAs is growing.
The baseline here is the white line.
The Reverse function of the MACD provides value by letting the user know the specific price needed to expect a MACD cross over in the opposite direction.
This function can be used to designate risk parameters for a potential trade if using the MACD as their source of edge, letting the user know exactly where and how much their risk is for a potential trade which can be used to design an effective trading plan.

P-MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between Price and Long-term Moving Average (PMACD), and the relationship between two Moving Averages (MAMACD). P-MACD is composed of two lines, and an histogram, showing price distance (convergence/divergence) to its Long-term MA (PMACD), showing short-term MA distance (convergence/divergence) to long-term MA (MAMACD), and a histogram showing the difference (momentum) between the PMACD and MAMACD
The PMACD is calculated by dividing the Price to Long-term Moving Average (200-period SMA/EMA) and finally smoothed with 9-period SMA/EMA
- PMACD Line Formula : (Price / SlowMovingAverage -1) * 100 and smoothed with 9-period SMA/EMA
The MAMACD is calculated by dividing the Short-term Moving Average (such as 20 SMA/EMA) to the Long-term Moving Average (such as 200-period SMA/EMA)
- MAMACD Line Formula : (FastMovingAverage / SlowMovingAverage -1) * 100
The Histogram is calculated by subscripting PMACD and MAMACD
- Formula : PMACD - MAMACD
Optional
Trend Cloud calculated based on fast and slow version of MAMACD
What to look for:
- Line Crosses : PMACD Line can function as a trigger(signal) for buy and sell signals. Buy when the PMACD crosses above the MAMACD line and sell - or short - when the PMACD crosses below the MAMACD line
- Base Crosses : PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses above or below Baseline is another way to indicate the trend and momentum. MAMACD crosses of Baseline, MAMACD positive or negative, reflects short-term moving average crosses the long-term moving average and similarly, PMACD crosses of BaseLine, PMACD positive or negative, reflects price crosses a long-term moving average
- Momentum : P-MACD helps investors understand whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price is strengthening or weakening displayed with a histogram which graphs the distance between the PMACD and MAMACD. Additionally, upward momentum is confirmed with a bullish crossover, which occurs when PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses above Baseline. Conversely, downward momentum is confirmed with a bearish crossover, which occurs when PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses below Baseline
- Distance : Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement. The more distant the PMACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the Price and its SMA is growing (regarding PMACD, You may find a detailed article explained in “Price Distance to its MA” indicator by DGT) . Similarly the more distant the MAMACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the two SMAs is growing
- Trend : A rising P-MACD indicates an uptrend, while a declining P-MACD indicates a downtrend
MACD vs. P-MACD
MACD measures the relationship between two MAs, while the P-MACD measures both the relationship between price and its MA, and the relationship between two MAs. MAMACD Line of P-MACD If set to same moving average type and same lengths as in MACD will produce the same line as MACD line, only values are represented as percentage with MAMACD. Both measure momentum in a market, but, because they measure different factors, they differentiate from each other even if they have similarities in presentation. P-MACD provides additional insights, not only to MA relation but also to Price and MA relation
Warning : Moving Average are calculated based on past prices, so they are lagging. The longer the time period for the moving average, the greater the lag as well as less sensitive to price changes. This study implements usage of 200-period long-term moving average, which implies that the P-MACD will provide insight especially for long-term trades, more suited for long-term trades, usage of P-MACD for short-term trades is recommend with lower timeframes (1H or lower).
Indicators aim to generate a potential signal/indication of an upcoming opportunity, but, the Indicators themselves do not guarantee the future movement of a given financial instrument, and are most useful when used in combination with other techniques.
Trading success is all about following your trading strategy and the indicators should fit within your trading strategy, and not to be traded upon solely

Biquad MACDThis indicator reimagines the traditional MACD by incorporating a biquad band pass filter, offering a refined approach to identifying momentum and trend changes in price data. The standard MACD is essentially a band pass filter, but often it lacks precision. The biquad band pass filter addresses this limitation by providing a more focused frequency range, enhancing the quality of signals.
The MACD Length parameter determines the length of the band pass filter, influencing the frequency range that is isolated. Adjusting this length allows you to focus on different parts of the price movement spectrum.
The Bandwidth (BW) setting controls the width of the frequency band in octaves. It affects the smoothness of the MACD line. A larger bandwidth results in less smooth output, capturing a broader range of frequencies, while a smaller bandwidth focuses on a narrower range, providing a smoother signal.
The Signal Length parameter sets the period for the exponential moving average of the MACD line, which acts as a signal line to identify potential buy and sell points.
Key Features of the Biquad MACD
The MACD is a well-known momentum indicator used to identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. By applying a biquad band pass filter, this version of the MACD provides a more refined and accurate representation of price movements.
The biquad filter offers smooth response and minimal phase distortion, making it ideal for technical analysis. The customizable MACD length and bandwidth allow for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and market conditions. The signal line smooths the MACD values, providing clear crossover points to indicate potential market entry and exit signals.
The histogram visually represents the difference between the MACD and the signal line, changing colors to indicate rising or falling momentum, which helps in quickly identifying trend changes.
By incorporating the Biquad MACD into your trading toolkit, you can enhance your chart analysis with clearer insights into momentum and trend changes, leading to more informed trading decisions.

🔶 Filtered MACD : Understanding How Filters Work with ADX and MA
ADX Filter:
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend. The script calculates ADX using the user-defined length and applies a threshold value.
Trading Signals with ADX Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal (crossover of MACD line above the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the set threshold. This suggests a stronger uptrend to potentially capitalize on.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal (crossunder of MACD line below the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the threshold, indicating a stronger downtrend for potential shorting opportunities.
Benefits: The ADX filter helps avoid whipsaws or false signals that might occur during choppy market conditions with weak trends.
MA Filter:
You can choose from various Moving Average (MA) types (EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA) for the filter. The script calculates the chosen MA based on the user-defined length.
Trading Signals with MA Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal is only considered valid if the closing price is above the MA value. This suggests a potential uptrend confirmed by the price action staying above the moving average.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal is only considered valid if the closing price is below the MA value. This suggests a potential downtrend confirmed by the price action staying below the moving average.
Benefits: The MA filter helps identify potential trend continuation opportunities by ensuring the price aligns with the chosen moving average direction.
Combining Filters:
You can choose to use either the ADX filter, the MA filter, or both depending on your strategy preference. Using both filters adds an extra layer of confirmation for your signals.
🔶 Backtesting Module
The backtesting module in this script allows you to visually assess how the filtered MACD strategy would have performed on historical data. Here's a deeper dive into its features:
Backtesting Type: You can choose to backtest for buy signals only, sell signals only, or both. This allows you to analyze the strategy's effectiveness in different market conditions.
Stop-Loss Types: You can define how stop-loss orders are placed:
ATR (Average True Range): This uses a volatility measure (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor to set the stop-loss level.
Fixed Point: This allows you to specify a fixed dollar amount or percentage value as the stop-loss.
X bar High/Low: This sets the stop-loss at a certain number of bars (defined by the user) above/below the bar's high (for long positions) or low (for short positions).
Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Define the desired ratio between your potential profit and potential loss on each trade. The backtesting module will calculate take-profit levels based on this ratio and the stop-loss placement.

RSI and MACD Composite ScoreComponents of the Indicator
RSI Settings:
The RSI is set with a length parameter, which can be adjusted by the user but defaults to 14. This measures the speed and change of price movements.
MACD Settings:
The MACD is composed of two lines: the MACD line and the signal line, which are calculated from exponential moving averages (EMAs) of different lengths (fast and slow). The default settings are 9 for the fast length, 26 for the slow length, and 3 for the signal length.
The MACD histogram, which is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, is also calculated.
Normalization and Combination
RSI Normalization : The RSI values are normalized around 0 by subtracting 50 from the RSI and then dividing by 50. This scaling adjusts the RSI to fluctuate around 0, where positive values indicate strength and negative values indicate weakness relative to the median RSI value of 50.
MACD Normalization : The MACD histogram is normalized by dividing it by the highest absolute value of the histogram over the slow length period. This adjustment scales the MACD histogram to fall between -1 and 1, making it comparable in magnitude to the normalized RSI.
Composite Score Calculation
The composite score is simply the sum of the normalized RSI and the normalized MACD histogram. This results in a combined score that reflects both momentum (from RSI) and trend (from MACD), providing a multifaceted view of market dynamics.
Visualization
The composite score is plotted as an oscillator, with a horizontal zero line that helps identify when the score shifts from positive to negative or vice versa.
The background color changes based on the trend: green if the composite score is above zero (bullish trend) and red if below zero (bearish trend).
KC-MACD Entry Master @shrilssThe KC-MACD Entry Master is designed to enhance trading strategies by utilizing Keltner Channels and MACD for dynamic market analysis. This indicator excels in visually identifying market conditions with a sophisticated bar coloring system and an informative MACD Traffic Light feature.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Bar Coloring: The core feature of this indicator is its ability to adjust the color of bars based on their positioning relative to the Keltner Channels and the EMA (Exponential Moving Average). It colors bars lime or red when the closing price is within the Keltner Channels but above or below the EMA, respectively. Additionally, it uses a fuchsia color to indicate breakouts when the price extends beyond the Keltner Channels. This visual aid helps traders quickly identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on market volatility and price action.
- MACD Traffic Light: Positioned at the bottom of the chart, this unique feature displays the histogram color of the MACD, set by default to a 3/10/16 configuration—known as the 3-10 Oscillator. This Traffic Light gives traders an at-a-glance view of the underlying momentum and trend shifts, further aiding in decision-making processes.
- MACD-Based Entry Signals: By calculating the fast and slow moving averages specified by the user, the script determines MACD values and their crossover with a smoothed signal line. Entry points are then highlighted with shapes (e.g., "Buy" or "Sell") plotted on the chart when conditions are met, including alignment with the bar colors for enhanced accuracy.
