VOLUME WEIGHTED MACD V2 VWMACDV2 BY KIVANÇ fr3762Second version of Buff Dormeier's Volume Weighted MACD indicator....
Here in this version; Exponential Moving Averages used and Weighted by Volume instead of using only vwma ( Volume Weighted Moving Averages).
I personally asked Mr Dormeier, the developer of this indicator, and he confirmed this second version could be used.
I personally think that this one is more effective when comparing with the vwma version...
Volume Weighted MACD
Volume Weighted MACD (VW-MACD) was created by Buff Dormeier and described in his book Investing With Volume Analysis. It represents the convergence and divergence of volume-weighted price trends.
The inclusion of volume allows the VW-MACD to be generally more responsive and reliable than the traditional MACD .
What is MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)?
Moving Average Convergence Divergence was created by Gerald Appel in 1979. Standard MACD plots the difference between a short term exponential average and a long term exponential average. When the difference (the MACD line) is positive and rising, it suggests prices trend is up. When the MACD line is negative, it suggests prices trend is down.
A smooth exponential average of this difference is calculated to form the MACD signal line. When the MACD line is above the MACD signal line, it illustrates that the momentum of MACD is rising. Likewise, when the MACD is below the MACD signal line, the momentum of the MACD falls. This difference between the MACD line and the MACD signal line is frequently plotted as a histogram to highlight the spread between the two lines.
What is the difference between MACD and VW-MACD?
Volume Weighted MACD is substituting the two exponential moving averages to compute the MACD difference with the two corresponding Volume-Weighted Moving Average . Thus, VW-MACD contrasts a volume-weighted short term trend from the volume-weighted longer term trend.
The signal line is left as an exponential moving average because VW-MACD line is already volume weighted.

REMS Snap Shot OverlayThe REMS Snap Shot indicator is a multi-factor, confluence-based system that combines momentum (RSI, Stochastic RSI), trend (EMA, MACD), and optional filters (volume, MACD histogram, session time) to identify high-probability trade setups. Signals are only triggered when all enabled conditions align, giving the trader a filtered, visually clear entry signal.
This indicator uses an optional 'look-back' feature where in it will signal an entry based on the recency of specified cross events.
To use the indicator, select which technical indicators you wish to filter, the session you wish to apply (default is 9:30am - 4pm EST, based on your chart time settings), and if which cross events you wish to trigger a reset on the cooldown.
The default settings filter the 4 major technical indicators (RSI, EMAs, MACD, Stochastic RSI) but optional filters exist to further fine tune Stochastic Range, MACD momentum and strength, and volume, with optional visual cues for MACD position, Stochastic RSI position, and volume.
EMAs can be drawn on the chart from this indicator with optional shaded background.
This indicator is an alternative to REMS First Strike, which uses a recency filter instead of a cool down.

Institutional Momentum Zones (ADX+ROC+DI+MACD+Filters)Institutional Momentum Zones (ADX + ROC + DI + MACD + Filters)
This indicator is designed to help traders visually identify Bullish, Neutral, and Bearish momentum zones on Nifty, indices, or any liquid asset, using a rules-based, institutional-style approach.
It combines multiple professional-grade momentum and trend filters into a single framework:
ADX (Average Directional Index) – Measures trend strength, filters out choppy conditions.
Directional Indicators (+DI / –DI) – Confirms whether bulls or bears are in control.
ROC (Rate of Change) – Quantifies momentum speed and direction.
MACD (optional) – Adds confirmation by checking multi-timeframe momentum alignment.
EMA Filters (optional) – Ensures price is in alignment with long-term trend bias.
Supertrend (optional) – Can be enabled for additional trend confirmation.
How it works:
Bullish Zone (Green) → Strong trend (ADX > threshold) + upward momentum (ROC > 0, +DI > –DI) + optional EMA/MACD/Supertrend confirmation.
Bearish Zone (Red) → Strong trend (ADX > threshold) + downward momentum (ROC < 0, –DI > +DI) + optional EMA/MACD/Supertrend confirmation.
Neutral Zone (Yellow) → Low trend strength (ADX < threshold) or mixed momentum signals.
Features:
Automatic background coloring for zone detection.
On-chart labels marking new zone changes.
EMA50 / EMA200 and Supertrend overlay options.
Signal markers for bullish/bearish entries.
Info panel with live ADX, ROC, DI values, and MACD histogram.
Alert conditions for zone changes (Bull, Bear, Neutral).
Best used for:
Index momentum tracking (e.g., Nifty, Bank Nifty, Dow, S&P500)
Swing trading & positional trading strategies
Filtering trades to avoid entering during low-momentum chop
Tip: For Nifty positional trading, use Daily or 4H charts with EMA & MACD filters enabled for cleaner, high-confidence signals.

Smart Price Divergence (MACD Filter) + EMA📌 Purpose
This indicator detects Price Divergences with MACD filtered by a 200 EMA trend condition.
It helps identify high-probability reversal zones aligned with market trend context.
🧠 How It Works
1. MACD Divergence Logic
Bearish Divergence:
Price makes a higher high.
MACD makes a lower high.
Price is above EMA (indicating possible exhaustion in bullish trend).
Bullish Divergence:
Price makes a lower low.
MACD makes a higher low.
Price is below EMA (indicating possible exhaustion in bearish trend).
2. EMA Trend Filter
EMA(200) is used as a directional filter:
Bearish divergences considered above EMA (extended bullish conditions).
Bullish divergences considered below EMA (extended bearish conditions).
3. Visual & Alerts
EMA(200) plotted on chart in orange.
Red triangles for Bearish Divergence.
Green triangles for Bullish Divergence.
Alerts fire for both divergence types.
📈 How to Use
Look for divergence signals as potential reversal alerts.
Combine with support/resistance or price action for confirmation.
EMA ensures signals occur in extended zones, increasing reliability.
Recommended Timeframes: 1h, 4h, D.
Markets: Forex, Crypto, Stocks.

Signal Types Explained ⚙️
You can now choose your preferred signal from a dropdown menu in the indicator's settings:
Pullback (Default): The original, high-probability strategy. It identifies "buy the dip" and "sell the rally" opportunities within an established trend.
Buy: Triggers on a bullish MACD/Signal line cross above the zero line.
Sell: Triggers on a bearish MACD/Signal line cross below the zero line.
Standard Crossover: The most common MACD signal. It's a pure momentum signal that triggers whenever the MACD line crosses the signal line, regardless of the trend.
Buy: MACD line crosses above the Signal line.
Sell: MACD line crosses below the Signal line.
Zero Line Cross: A trend-change signal. It identifies when the overall momentum shifts from bullish to bearish or vice-versa.
Buy: MACD line crosses above the Zero line.
Sell: MACD line crosses below the Zero line.
How Signals Are Displayed (Real-time vs. Confirmed)
This indicator addresses your request to have signals "display as it occurs" automatically. Here is how it works:
Real-time Alert (As it Occurs): On a live, developing candle, a "BUY" or "SELL" label may appear the instant the MACD conditions are met. This gives you the earliest possible warning.
Signal Repainting: Because the price is still moving within the live candle, the signal may appear and later disappear if the conditions are no longer met by the time the candle closes. This is known as "repainting".
Confirmed Signal: Once the candle closes, the signal is locked in and will never change. This is the confirmed, non-repainting signal.
To create alerts based on these signals, right-click a label on the chart, select "Add alert on Multi-Mode MACD Signals," and choose "Once Per Bar Close" for a confirmed signal or "Once Per Bar" for an earlier, real-time alert.

WaveFunction MACD (TechnoBlooms)WaveFunction MACD — The Next Generation of Market Momentum
WaveFunction MACD is an advanced hybrid momentum indicator that merges:
• The classical MACD crossover logic (based on moving averages)
• Wave physics (modeled through phase energy and cosine functions)
• Hilbert Transform theory from signal processing
• The concept of a wavefunction from quantum mechanics, where price action is seen as a probabilistic energy wave—not just a trend.
✨ Key Features of WaveFunction MACD
• Wave Energy Logic : Instead of using just price and MA differences, this indicator computes phase-corrected momentum using the cosine of the wave phase angle — revealing the true energy behind market moves.
• Phase-Based Trend Detection : It reads cycle phases using Hilbert Transform-like logic, allowing you to spot momentum before it becomes visible in price.
• Ultra-Smooth Flow : The main line and histogram are built to follow price flow smoothly — eliminating much of the noise found in traditional MACD indicators.
• Signal Amplification via Energy Histogram : The histogram doesn’t just show momentum changes — it shows the intensity of wave energy, allowing you to confirm the strength of the trend.
• Physics-Driven Structure : The algorithm is rooted in real-world wave mechanics, bringing a scientific edge to trading — ideal for traders who believe in natural models like cycles and harmonics.
• Trend Confirmation & Early Reversals : It can confirm strong trends and also catch subtle shifts that often precede big reversals — giving you both reliability and anticipation.
• Ready for Fusion : Designed to work seamlessly with liquidity zones, price action, order blocks, and structure trading — a perfect fit for modern trading systems.
🧪 The Science Behind It
This tool blends:
• Hilbert Transform: Measures the phase of a waveform (price cycle) to detect turning points
• Cosine Phase Energy: Calculates true wave energy using the cosine of the phase angle, revealing the strength behind price movements
• Quantum Modeling: Views price like a wavefunction, offering predictive insight based on phase dynamics

Normalized MACD with RSI & Stoch RSI Indicator
Overview:
This indicator combines three popular momentum indicators (MACD, RSI, and Stochastic RSI) into a single cohesive, normalized view, making it easier for traders to interpret market momentum and potential buy/sell signals. It specifically addresses an important issue—the different scale ranges of indicators—by normalizing MACD values to match the 0–100 scale of RSI and Stochastic RSI.
⸻
Key Components:
① MACD (Normalized):
• The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) originally has an unlimited numerical range.
• Normalization Method:
• Uses a custom tanh(x) function implemented directly in Pine Script:
\tanh(x) = \frac{e^{x}-e^{-x}}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}
• MACD values are scaled using this method to a range of 0–100, with the neutral line at exactly 50.
• Interpretation:
• Values above 50 indicate bullish momentum.
• Values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
② RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• Measures market momentum on a 0–100 scale.
• Traditional RSI interpretation:
• Overbought conditions: RSI > 70–80.
• Oversold conditions: RSI < 30–20.
③ Stochastic RSI:
• Combines RSI and Stochastic Oscillator to give short-term, highly sensitive signals.
• Helps identify immediate market extremes:
• Above 80 → Short-term overbought.
• Below 20 → Short-term oversold.
⸻
How the Indicator Works:
• Visualization:
• All three indicators (Normalized MACD, RSI, Stochastic RSI) share the same 0–100 scale.
• Clear visual lines and reference levels:
• Midline at 50 indicates neutral momentum.
• Dashed lines at 20 and 80 clearly mark oversold/overbought zones.
• Trading Signals (Recommended approach):
• Bullish Signal (Potential Buy):
• Normalized MACD crosses above 50.
• RSI below or approaching oversold zone (below 30–20).
• Stochastic RSI below 20, indicating short-term oversold conditions.
• Bearish Signal (Potential Sell):
• Normalized MACD crosses below 50.
• RSI above or approaching overbought zone (above 70–80).
• Stochastic RSI above 80, indicating short-term overbought conditions.
⸻
Why Use This Indicator?
• Harmonized Signals:
Normalization of MACD significantly improves clarity and comparability with RSI and Stochastic RSI, providing a unified momentum picture.
• Intuitive Analysis:
Traders can rapidly and intuitively identify momentum shifts without needing multiple indicator windows.
• Improved Decision-Making:
Clear visual references and signals help reduce subjective interpretation, potentially improving trading outcomes.
⸻
Suggested Usage:
• Combine with traditional support
Supertrend + MACD with Advanced FiltersDetailed Guide
1. Indicator Overview
Purpose:
This enhanced indicator combines Supertrend and MACD to signal potential trend changes. In addition, it now includes several extra filters for more reliable signals:
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmation: Checks a higher timeframe’s trend.
ADX (Momentum) Filter: Ensures the market is trending strongly.
Dynamic Factor Adjustment: Adapts the Supertrend sensitivity to current volatility.
Volume Filter: Verifies that current volume is above average.
Each filter can be enabled or disabled according to your preference.
How It Works:
The Supertrend calculates dynamic support/resistance levels based on ATR and an adjustable factor, while MACD identifies momentum shifts via its crossovers. The additional filters then confirm whether the conditions meet your criteria for a trend change. If all enabled filters align, the indicator plots a shape and triggers an alert.
2. Supertrend Component with Dynamic Factor
Base Factor & ATR Period:
The Supertrend uses these inputs to compute its dynamic bands.
Dynamic Factor Toggle:
When enabled, the factor is adjusted by comparing the current ATR to its simple moving average. This makes the indicator adapt to higher or lower volatility conditions, helping to reduce false signals.
3. MACD Component
Parameters:
Standard MACD settings (Fast MA, Slow MA, Signal Smoothing) determine the responsiveness of the MACD line. Crossovers between the MACD line and its signal line indicate potential trend reversals.
4. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Filter
Function:
If enabled, the indicator uses a higher timeframe’s simple moving average (SMA) to confirm the prevailing trend.
Bullish Confirmation: The current close is above the higher timeframe SMA.
Bearish Confirmation: The current close is below the higher timeframe SMA.
5. ADX Filter (Momentum)
Custom Calculation:
Since the built-in ta.adx function may not be available, a custom ADX is calculated. This involves:
Determining positive and negative directional movements (DMs).
Smoothing these values to obtain +DI and -DI.
Calculating the DX and then smoothing it to yield the ADX.
Threshold:
Only signals where the ADX exceeds the set threshold (default 20) are considered valid, ensuring that the market is trending strongly enough.
6. Volume Filter
Function:
Checks if the current volume exceeds the average volume (SMA) multiplied by a specified factor. This helps confirm that a price move is supported by sufficient trading activity.
7. Combined Signal Logic & Alerts
Final Signal:
A bullish signal is generated when:
MACD shows a bullish crossover,
Supertrend indicates an uptrend,
And all enabled filters (MTF, ADX, volume) confirm the signal.
The bearish signal is generated similarly in the opposite direction.
Alerts:
Alert conditions are set so that TradingView can notify you via pop-up, email, or SMS when these combined conditions are met.
8. User Adjustments
Toggle Filters:
Use the on/off switches for MTF, ADX, and Volume filters as needed.
Parameter Tuning:
Adjust the ATR period, base factor, higher timeframe settings, ADX period/threshold, and volume multiplier to match your trading style and market conditions.
Backtesting:
Always backtest your settings to ensure that they perform well with your strategy.

Cumulative Force Oscillator with MACDCumulative Force Oscillator with MACD
The Cumulative Force Oscillator with MACD is an advanced technical indicator designed to provide traders with a unique perspective on market momentum and trend strength. By combining the power of cumulative candle force analysis with MACD crossover signals, this indicator offers a multifaceted approach to market analysis.
Key Features
1. Cumulative Force Calculation**: Measures the net force of price movements over a specified number of candles.
2. MACD Integration**: Incorporates MACD crossover signals for additional trend confirmation.
3. Visual Cues**: Utilizes color-coded oscillator lines and background zones for easy interpretation.
4. **Dynamic Labeling**: Displays real-time force values and percentage changes.
How It Works
Cumulative Force Calculation
The indicator calculates the "force" of each candle by subtracting the open price from the close price. It then sums this force over a user-defined number of candles to create a cumulative force value. This value oscillates above and below zero, indicating bullish or bearish pressure respectively.
MACD Crossover Detection
The indicator uses the standard MACD (12, 26, 9) to detect bullish and bearish crossovers. These crossovers are visually represented by colored background zones, providing an additional layer of trend confirmation.
Visual Representation
- The main oscillator line is plotted in green when above zero (bullish) and red when below zero (bearish).
- Background colors change based on MACD crossovers: light blue for bullish crossovers and light orange for bearish crossovers.
- A dynamic label displays the current cumulative force value and its percentage change from the previous period.
Interpretation
1. Oscillator Line : When the line is above zero, it indicates net bullish pressure; below zero suggests net bearish pressure.
2. Oscillator Momentum : The steepness and direction of the oscillator line indicate the strength and direction of the current market force.
3. MACD Crossovers : Blue background zones suggest potential bullish trends, while orange zones indicate potential bearish trends.
4. Divergences : Look for divergences between the oscillator and price action for potential trend reversal signals.
Customization
Users can customize several aspects of the indicator :
- Number of candles for force calculation
- Label offset and text size
- Color schemes (through code modification)
Conclusion
The Cumulative Force Oscillator with MACD is a versatile tool that combines momentum analysis with trend confirmation signals. By providing a visual representation of cumulative market force alongside MACD crossovers, it offers traders a comprehensive view of market dynamics. This indicator can be particularly useful for identifying potential trend reversals, confirming existing trends, and gauging overall market strength.

Volume-MACD-RSI Integrated StrategyDescription:
This script integrates three well-known technical analysis tools—Volume, MACD, and RSI—into a single signal meant to help traders identify potential turning points under strong market conditions.
Concept Overview:
Volume Filter: We compare the current bar’s volume to a 20-period volume average and require it to exceed a specified multiplier. This ensures that signals occur only during periods of heightened market participation. The logic is that moves on low volume are less reliable, so we wait for increased activity to confirm potential trend changes.
MACD Momentum Shift:
We incorporate MACD crossovers to determine when momentum is changing direction. MACD is a popular momentum indicator that identifies shifts in trend by comparing short-term and long-term EMAs. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the signal line) may suggest upward momentum is building, while a bearish crossunder can indicate momentum turning downward.
RSI Market Condition Check:
RSI helps us identify overbought or oversold conditions. By requiring that RSI be oversold on buy signals and overbought on sell signals, we attempt to pinpoint entries where price could be at an extreme. The idea is to position entries or exits at junctures where price may be due for a reversal.
How the Script Works Together:
Volume Confirmation: No signals fire unless there’s strong volume. This reduces false positives.
MACD Momentum Check: Once volume confirms market interest, MACD crossover events serve as a trigger to initiate consideration of a trade signal.
RSI Condition: Finally, RSI determines whether the market is at an extreme. This final layer helps ensure we only act on signals that have both momentum shift and a price at an extreme level, potentially increasing the reliability of signals.
Intended Use:
This script can help highlight potential reversal points or trend shifts during active market periods.
Traders can use these signals as a starting point for deeper analysis. For instance, a “BUY” arrow may prompt a trader to investigate the market context, confirm with other methods, or look for patterns that further support a long entry.
The script is best used on markets with reliable volume data, such as stocks or futures, and can be experimented with across different timeframes. Adjusting the RSI thresholds, MACD parameters, and volume multiplier can help tailor it to specific instruments or trading styles.
Chart Setup:
When adding this script to your chart, it should be the only indicator present, so you can clearly see the red “BUY” arrows and green “SELL” arrows at the candle closes where signals occur.
The chart should be kept clean and uncluttered for clarity. No other indicators are necessary since the logic is already integrated into this single script.
Polyphase MACD (PMACD)The Polyphase MACD (PMACD) uses polyphase decimation to create a continuous estimate of higher timeframe MACD behavior. The number of phases represents the timeframe multiplier - for example, 3 phases approximates a 3x higher timeframe.
Traditional higher timeframe MACD indicators update only when each higher timeframe bar completes, creating stepped signals that can miss intermediate price action. The PMACD addresses this by maintaining multiple phase-shifted MACD calculations and combining them with appropriate anti-aliasing filters. This approach eliminates the discrete jumps typically seen in higher timeframe indicators, though the resulting signal may sometimes deviate from the true higher timeframe values due to its estimative nature.
The indicator processes price data through parallel phase calculations, each analyzing a different time-offset subset of the data. These phases are filtered and combined to prevent aliasing artifacts that occur in simple timeframe conversions. The result is a smooth, continuous signal that begins providing meaningful values immediately, without requiring a warm-up period of higher timeframe bars.
The PMACD maintains the standard MACD components - the MACD line (fast MA - slow MA), signal line, and histogram - while providing a more continuous view of higher timeframe momentum. Users can select between EMA and SMA calculations for both the oscillator and signal components, with all calculations benefiting from the same polyphase processing technique.
