Standardized MACD Heikin-Ashi TransformedThe Standardized MACD Heikin-Ashi Transformed (St. MACD) is an advanced indicator designed to overcome the limitations of the traditional MACD. It offers a more robust and standardized measure of momentum, making it comparable across different timeframes and securities. By incorporating the Heikin-Ashi transformation, the St. MACD provides a smoother visualization of trends and potential reversals, enhancing its utility for traders seeking a clearer view of the underlying market direction.
Methodology:
The calculation of St. MACD begins with the traditional MACD, which computes the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) of the price. To address the issue of non-comparability across assets, the St. MACD normalizes its values using the exponential average of the price's height. This normalization process ensures that the indicator's readings are not influenced by the absolute price levels, allowing for objective and quantitatively defined comparisons of momentum strength.
Furthermore, St. MACD utilizes the Heikin-Ashi transformation, which involves deriving candles from the price data. These Heikin-Ashi candles provide a smoother representation of trends and help filter out noise in the market. A predictive curve of Heikin-Ashi candles within the St. MACD turns blue or red, indicating the prevailing trend direction. This feature enables traders to easily identify trend shifts and make better informed trading decisions.
Advantages:
St. MACD offers several key advantages over the traditional MACD-
Standardization: By normalizing the indicator's values, St. MACD becomes comparable across different assets and timeframes. This makes it a valuable tool for traders analyzing various markets and seeking consistent momentum measurements.
Heikin-Ashi Transformation: The integration of the Heikin-Ashi transformation smoothes out the indicator's fluctuations and enhances trend visibility. Traders can more easily identify trends and potential reversal points, improving their market analysis.
Quantifiable Momentum: St. MACD's key levels represent the strength of momentum, providing traders with a quantifiable framework to gauge the intensity of market movements. This feature helps identify periods of increased or decreased momentum.
Utility:
The St. MACD indicator offers versatile utility for traders-
Trend Identification: Traders can use the color-coded predictive curve of Heikin-Ashi candles to swiftly determine the prevailing trend direction. This aids in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market.
Reversal Signals: Colored extremes within the St. MACD signal potential price reversals, alerting traders to potential turning points in the market. This assists in making timely decisions during market inflection points.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: The histogram version of St. MACD can be used in conjunction with the bands to detect short-term overbought or oversold market conditions, allowing traders to adjust their strategies accordingly.
In conclusion, this tool addresses the limitations of the traditional MACD by providing a standardized and comparable momentum indicator. Its incorporation of the Heikin-Ashi transformation enhances trend visibility and assists traders in making more informed decisions. With its quantifiable momentum measurements and various utility features, the St. MACD is a valuable tool for traders seeking a clearer and more objective view of market trends and reversals.

ESTOCÁSTICO + NORMALIZED MACD=== INTRO ===
This is a 2 in 1 indicator, STOCHASTIC + NORMALIZED MACD.
I release this script as public because both stochastic and normalized macd are public, so I cannot find any reason to post it as private :)
=== USAGE ===
You can use any of the indicators by itself as usual, stochastic as a oversold/overbought indicator as a momentum/trend indicator.
Usually, crossovers are used for LONG/SHORT entries.
I added dots for crossovers as well as background colors to show movement direction when both indicators agree: green = bullish, red = bearish and orange = range/consolidation.
=== SETTINGS ===
Default settings for both indicators have been changed (but they're of course configurable), to make them work better together.
You can also change NMACD moving average time to SMA or WMA instead of SMA, SMA is really slow for me but give it a try, WMA is more aggressive.
=== RECOMMENDATIONS ===
Always look for higher timeframes, for example, if you're trading 1h, don't try to catch a 1H "ALL GREEN" LONG while 4H is "ALL RED" because otherwise you're just "trying" to catch a bounce in the 1H chart that could never happen, always trade with the main trend.
Try to catch both crossovers in the opposite area, ex: try to LONG when both indicators are below 50 and SHORT above.
I did not test divergences on this indicator, as the MACD is normalized i prefer to use a standard MACD for that, but you can use the stochastic for sure.
Customizable MACD (how to detect a strong convergence)Helloooo traders
I wondered once if a MACD was based on an EMA/EMA/SMA or SMA/SMA/EMA (or WHATEVA/WHATEVA/WHATEVA).
Seems they're so many alternatives out there.
I decided to empower my audience more by choosing the type of moving averages you want for your MACD.
More options doesn't always mean better performance - but who knows - some might find a config that they like with it for their favorite asset/timeframe.
I added also a multi-timeframe component because I'm a nice guy ^^
Convergence is my BEST friend
An oscillator (like MACD) is to measure how strong a momentum is - generally, traders use those indicators to confirm a trend.
So understand that a MACD (or any other indicator not based on convergence ) won't likely be sufficient for doing great on the market.
Combined with your favorite indicator, however, you may get great results.
My indicators fav cocktail is mixing :
1) an oscillator (momentum confirmation)
2) a trendline/key level break (momentum confirmation)
3) adding-up on a different trading method but still converging with the first entry.
The reason I'm deep with convergence detection is because I'm obsessed with removing those fakeout signals. You know which ones I'm talking about :)
Those trades when the market goes sideways but our capital goes South (pun 100% intended) - 2 days later, the price hasn't changed much but some lost some capital due to fees, being overexposed, buying the top/selling the bottom of a range they didn't identify.
It's publicly known that ranges are the worst traders' enemy. It's boring, not fun, and .... end up moving in the direction we expected when we go to sleep or outside.
NO ONE/BROKER/EX-GF is tracking your computer - I checked also for mine as it happened for me way too often in the past.
I surely preferred blaming a few external unknown conditions than improving my TA back in the days #bad #dave
But my backtest sir...
Our backtests show what they're being told to show . A backtest without a stop-loss/hard exit logic will show incredible results.
Then trying that backtest with live trading is like in the Matrix movie - discovering the real world is tough and we must choose between the blue pill (learning how to evaluate properly risk/opportunity caught) and the red pill (increasing the position sizing, not setting a stop loss, holding the positions hoping for the best)
Last few words
Convergences aren't invented because it's cool to mix indicators with others. (it is actually and even fun)
They're created to remove most of the fakeouts . For those that can't be removed - a strong risk management would cut most of the remaining potential big losses.
No system works 100% of the time - so a convergence system needs a back-up plan in case the converged signal is wrong (could be stop-loss, hard exit, reducing position sizing, ...)
Wishing you the BEST and happy beginning of your week

MACD Histogram/AreaIt´s just the histogram of the MACD. (Actually it´s not a histogram, I like the Area visualisation more. But you can switch.)
When I´m using the MACD, I´m just searching for a divergence between Price and the MACD-histogram. I´m not interested in the MACD-signalline or the MACD-line in any way. As you can see, The omission of them leads to better visualisation. It´s much easier to spot a divergence. On the one hand because that way the histogram scales bigger, on the other hand becauce the lines can´t overdraw the histogram.
Rules bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, oscillator makes higher low.
Rules bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, oscillator makes lower high.
MACD-ASHello All,
This the script for Moving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD of Thomas Aspray, and called as MACD-AS and you may get earlier signals than MACD.
As MACD and MACD-AS are trend following indicators, they do not function well in sideway markets.
An example how it gets earlier signals than MACD
Good luck!
Heatmap MACD StrategyHello traders
A customer gave me the idea indirectly after I made an update to that script:
Supertrend MTF Heatmap
Important Notes
The backtest results aren't relevant for this educational script publication.
I used realistic backtesting data but didn't look too much into optimizing the results, as this isn't the point of why I'm publishing this script.
I wanted to showcase that any Heatmap script can be converted into a strategy.
The strategy default settings are:
Initial Capital: 100000 USD
Position Size: 1 contract
Commission Percent: 0.075%
Slippage: 1 tick
No margin/leverage used
For example, those are realistic settings for trading CFD indices with low timeframes, but not the best possible settings for all assets/timeframes.
Concept
The Heatmap MACD Strategy allows selecting one MACD in five different timeframes.
You'll get an exit signal whenever one of the 5 MACDs changes direction.
Then, the strategy re-enters whenever all the MACDs are in the same direction again.
It takes:
long trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bullish
short trades when all the 5 MACD histograms are bearish
You can select the same timeframe multiple times if you don't need five timeframes.
For example, if you only need the 30min, the 1H, and 2H, you can set your timeframes as follow:
30m
30m
30m
1H
2H
Risk Management Features
Nothing too fancy
All the features below are pips-based
Stop-Loss
Trailing Stop-Loss
Stop-Loss to Breakeven after a certain amount of pips has been reached
Take Profit 1st level and closing X% of the trade
Take Profit 2nd level and close the remaining of the trade
What's next?
I'll publish this script's open-source Pineconnector, ProfitView, and AutoView versions for educational purposes.
Thank you
Dave

MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence)
Definition
MACD is an extremely popular indicator used in technical analysis. MACD can be used to identify aspects of a security's overall trend. Most notably these aspects are momentum, as well as trend direction and duration. What makes MACD so informative is that it is actually the combination of two different types of indicators. First, 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.
MACD Line is a result of taking a longer term EMA and subtracting it from a shorter term EMA.The most commonly used values are 26 days for the longer term EMA and 12 days for the shorter term EMA, but it is the trader's choice.
The Signal Line.
The Signal Line is an EMA of the MACD Line described in Component 1. The trader can choose what period length EMA to use for the Signal Line however 9 is the most common.
The MACD Histogram.
As time advances, the difference between the MACD Line and Signal Line will continually differ. The MACD histogram takes that difference and plots it into an easily readable histogram. The difference between the two lines oscillates around a Zero Line.
A general interpretation of MACD is that when MACD is positive and the histogram value is increasing, then upside momentum is increasing. When MACD is negative and the histogram value is decreasing, then downside momentum is increasing.
What to look for
The MACD indicator is typically good for identifying three types of basic signals; Signal Line Crossovers, Zero Line Crossovers, and Divergence.
SIGNAL LINE CROSSOVERS
A Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the MACD. First one must consider that the Signal Line is essentially an indicator of an indicator. The Signal Line is calculating the Moving Average of the MACD Line. Therefore the Signal Line lags behind the MACD line. That being said, on the occasions where the MACD Line crosses above or below the Signal Line, that can signify a potentially strong move.
The strength of the move is what determines the duration of Signal Line Crossover. Understanding and being able to analyze move strength, as well as being able to recognize false signals, is a skill that comes with experience.
The first type of Signal Line Crossover to examine is the Bullish Signal Line Crossover. Bullish Signal Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line.
The second type of Signal Line Crossover to examine is the Bearish Signal Line Crossover. Bearish Signal Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line.
Zero line crossovers
Zero Line Crossovers have a very similar premise to Signal Line Crossovers. Instead of crossing the Signal Line, Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crossed the Zero Line and either becomes positive (above 0) or negative (below 0).
The first type of Zero Line Crossover to examine is the Bullish Zero Line Crossover. Bullish Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crosses above the Zero Line and go from negative to positive.
The second type of Zero Line Crossover to examine is the Bearish Zero Line Crossover. Bearish Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crosses below the Zero Line and go from positive to negative.
Divergence
Divergence is another signal created by the MACD. Simply put, divergence is when the MACD and actual price are not in agreement.
For example, Bullish Divergence occurs when price records a lower low, but the MACD records a higher low. The movement of price can provide evidence of the current trend, however changes in momentum as evidenced by the MACD can sometimes precede a significant reversal.
Bearish Divergence is, of course, the opposite. Bearish Divergence occurs when price records a higher high while the MACD records a lower high.
Summary
What makes the MACD such a valuable tool for technical analysis is that it is almost like two indicators in one. It can help to identify not just trends, but it can measure momentum as well. It takes two separate lagging indicators and adds the aspect of momentum which is much more active or predictive That kind of versatility is why it has been and is used by trader's and analysts across the entire spectrum of finance.
Despite MACD's obvious attributes, just like with any indicator, the trader or analyst needs to exercise caution. There are just some things that MACD doesn't do well which may tempt a trader regardless. Most notably, traders may be tempted into using MACD as a way to find overbought or oversold conditions. This is not a good idea. Remember, MACD is not bound to a range, so what is considered to be highly positive or negative for one instrument may not translate well to a different instrument.
With sufficient time and experience, almost anybody who wants to analyze chart data should be able to make good use out of the MACD.
The added features to the indicator are made for training, it is advisable to use it with caution in tradings.

Parabolic SAR MARSI, Adaptive MACD [Loxx]Parabolic SAR MARSI, Adaptive MACD is a trend following indicator that combines MACD, Parabolic SAR, and RSI into a signal indicator.
What is Parabolic SAR?
The parabolic stop and reverse, more commonly known as the "Parabolic SAR," or "PSAR" is a trend-following indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. It is displayed as a single parabolic line (or dots) underneath the price bars in an uptrend, and above the price bars in a downtrend.
What is MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA.
What is RSI?
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that moves between two extremes) and can have a reading from 0 to 100. The indicator was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”
How to combine PSAR, MACD, and RSI into one:
1. Create a new type of moving average called MARSI. MARSI is like a typical moving average but it flexes to RSI sensitivities
2. Calculate MACD for the MARSI of High/Low values
3. Calculate the midpoint MACD between the High/Low MACDs created in step 2
4. Create a final MACD by calculating the MARSI for the midpoint MACD created in step 3
5. Finally, Inject these values into a customized Parabolic SAR function
Results:
-A unique spin on three different indicators that identifies trends of both RSI, MACD, and price of the underlying asset
-Entry, exit, and reversal points in price, RSI, and MACD
-A MACD that adapts to RSI
What's Included?
-Customization of all variables
-A variety of moving averages to smooth the signal line
-Customizable colors
-Alerts for MACD zero-line and signal crosses, and PSAR trend direction changes
Things to know:
-The histogram in this indicator is NOT the normal histogram found in the classic MACD indicator. The histogram here is a histogram of MACD itself. The classic histogram has questionable utility but the histogram in this indicator is very important and useful
-Parabolic SAR is calculated on the MARSI of High/Low values
Future releases:
-Divergences
-Regular, continuation, and exit signals
Happy trading!
MACD with 1D Stochastic Confirmation Reversal StrategyOverview
The MACD with 1D Stochastic Confirmation Reversal Strategy utilizes MACD indicator in conjunction with 1 day timeframe Stochastic indicators to obtain the high probability short-term trend reversal signals. The main idea is to wait until MACD line crosses up it’s signal line, at the same time Stochastic indicator on 1D time frame shall show the uptrend (will be discussed in methodology) and not to be in the oversold territory. Strategy works on time frames from 30 min to 4 hours and opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Higher time frame confirmation: Strategy utilizes 1D Stochastic to establish the major trend and confirm the local reversals with the higher probability.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level scrip activate the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
MACD line of MACD indicator shall cross over the signal line of MACD indicator.
1D time frame Stochastic’s K line shall be above the D line.
1D time frame Stochastic’s K line value shall be below 80 (not overbought)
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with EMA. If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 3.25, value multiplied by ATR to be subtracted from position entry price to setup stop loss)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 4.25, value multiplied by ATR to be added to position entry price to setup trailing profit activation level)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20, period for EMA, when price reached trailing profit activation level EMA will stop out of position if price closes below it)
User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart, in our example we use default settings.
Justification of Methodology
This strategy leverages 2 time frames analysis to have the high probability reversal setups on lower time frame in the direction of the 1D time frame trend. That’s why it’s recommended to use this strategy on 30 min – 4 hours time frames.
To have an approximation of 1D time frame trend strategy utilizes classical Stochastic indicator. The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period. It's used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 80 indicating overbought conditions and readings below 20 indicating oversold conditions.
It consists of two lines:
%K: The main line, calculated using the formula (CurrentClose−LowestLow)/(HighestHigh−LowestLow)×100 . Highest and lowest price taken for 14 periods.
%D: A smoothed moving average of %K, often used as a signal line.
Strategy logic assumes that on 1D time frame it’s uptrend in %K line is above the %D line. Moreover, we can consider long trade only in %K line is below 80. It means that in overbought state the long trade will not be opened due to higher probability of pullback or even major trend reversal. If these conditions are met we are going to our working (lower) time frame.
On the chosen time frame, we remind you that for correct work of this strategy you shall use 30min – 4h time frames, MACD line shall cross over it’s signal line. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular momentum and trend-following indicator used in technical analysis. It helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price.
The MACD consists of three components:
MACD Line: This is the difference between a short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a long-term EMA, typically calculated as: MACD Line=12-period EMA−26-period
Signal Line: This is a 9-period EMA of the MACD Line, which helps to identify buy or sell signals. When the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line, it can be a bullish signal (suggesting a buy); when it crosses below, it can be a bearish signal (suggesting a sell).
Histogram: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line, visually representing the momentum of the trend. Positive histogram values indicate increasing bullish momentum, while negative values indicate increasing bearish momentum.
In our script we are interested in only MACD and signal lines. When MACD line crosses signal line there is a high chance that short-term trend reversed to the upside. We use this strategy on 45 min time frame.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements.

Fast EMA above Slow EMA with MACD (by Coinrule)An exponential moving average ( EMA ) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average . An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average simple moving average ( SMA ), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA .
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 coin 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.
The Strategy enters and closes the trade when the following conditions are met:
LONG
The MACD histogram turns bullish
EMA8 is greater than EMA26
EXIT
Price increases 3% trailing
Price decreases 1% trailing
This strategy is back-tested from 1 January 2022 to simulate how the strategy would work in a bear market and provides good returns.
Pairs that produce very strong results include AXSUSDT on the 5-minute timeframe. This short timeframe means that this strategy opens and closes trades regularly.
Additionally, the trailing stop loss and take profit conditions can also be changed to match your needs.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
Dominant Cycle Adaptive MACDThis Indicator is based on classic MACD but with an exceptional smoothing.
This smoothing eliminates the noise of the classic MACD as you see in the Chart
Adaptive MACD is compiled using with two adaptive moving averages, one adaptive to the dominant cycle and the other adaptive to twice the dominant cycle. As the basic behind the MACD is the difference of two moving averages we cannot find much difference between the conventional MACD (12, 26) and the adaptive MACD. However the adaptive MACD is less prone for less whipsaws and it catches the trends very well at the same time the catches the turning points in time. The Adaptive MACD is definite one notch better than the conventional MACD.
Dominant Cycle Period is calculated using Ehler's Method {Mentioned in the code}
This is how the Adaptiveness Impacts the Price Chart
1. (12, 26 EMA) VS Adaptive Dominant Cycle EMA
2. See how the Adaptive Lengths {both FastLength and SlowLength changes with time!}
Enjoy!
Combing in MACD and MTFHi all, I'm trying to wedge in the MACD into a multiple timeframe. Scope is to create:
1) an alert when the MACD across all timeframes is positive,
2) an alert when the MACD across all timeframes is negative, and
3) one when neither of them is applicable.
Would anyone be so kind to give it some thoughts, please?

Koby's 3 average MACD indicatorThis MACD is averaging 3 different MACD; KAMA MACD, ZLEMA MACD, and normal MACD.
Can find easier MACD's divergence and convergence than normal MACD.
And more smoothly drawing than ZLEMA MACD (KZ_MACD) which is I've made before.
MACDh with divergences & impulse system (overlayed on prices)-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Description:
This indicator ( the one on the top panel above ) consists on some lines, arrows and labels drawn over the price bars/candles indicating the detection of regular divergences between price and the classic MACD histogram (shown on the low panel). This script is special because it can be adjusted to fit several criteria when trading divergences filtering them according to the "height" and "width" of the patterns. The script also includes the "extra features" Impulse System and Keltner Channels, which you will hardly find anywhere else in similar classic MACD histogram divergence indicators.
The indicator helps to find trend reversals, and it works on any market, any instrument, any timeframe, and any market condition (except against really strong trends that do not show any other sign of reversion yet).
Please take on consideration that divergences should be taken with caution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Definition of classic Bullish and Bearish divergences:
* Bearish divergences occur in uptrends identifying market tops. A classical or regular bearish divergence occurs when prices reach a new high and then pull back, with an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) dropping below its zero line. Prices stabilize and rally to a higher high, but the oscillator reaches a lower peak than it did on a previous rally.
In the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), in area X (around August 2021), NKE rallied to a new bull market high and MACD-Histogram rallied with it, rising above its previous peak and showing that bulls were extremely strong. In area Y, MACD-H fell below its centerline and at the same time prices punched below the zone between the two moving averages. In area Z, NKE rallied to a new bull market high, but the rally of MACD-H was feeble, reflecting the bulls’ weakness. Its downtick from peak Z completed a bearish divergence, giving a strong sell signal and auguring a nasty bear market.
* Bullish divergences , in the other hand, occur towards the ends of downtrends identifying market bottoms. A classical (also called regular) bullish divergence occurs when prices and an oscillator (MACD histogram in this case) both fall to a new low, rally, with the oscillator rising above its zero line, then both fall again. This time, prices drop to a lower low, but the oscillator traces a higher bottom than during its previous decline.
In the example in the chart above (weekly charts of NKE, Nike, Inc.), you see a bearish divergence that signaled the October 2022 bear market bottom, giving a strong buy signal right near the lows. In area A, NKE (weekly charts) appeared in a free fall. The record low A of MACD-H indicated that bears were extremely strong. In area B, MACD-H rallied above its centerline. Notice the brief rally of prices at that moment. In area C, NKE slid to a new bear market low, but MACD-H traced a much more shallow low. Its uptick completed a bullish divergence, giving a strong buy signal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Some cool features included in this indicator:
1. This indicator also includes the “ Impulse System ”. The Impulse System is based on two indicators, a 13-day exponential moving average and the MACD-Histogram, and identifies inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. The moving average identifies the trend, while the MACD-Histogram measures momentum. This unique indicator combination is color coded into the price bars for easy reference.
Calculation:
Green Price Bar: (13-period EMA > previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram > previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Red Price Bar: (13-period EMA < previous 13-period EMA) and
(MACD-Histogram < previous period's MACD-Histogram)
Price bars are colored blue when conditions for a Red Price Bar or Green Price Bar are not met. The MACD-Histogram is based on MACD(12,26,9).
The Impulse System works more like a censorship system. Green price bars show that the bulls are in control of both trend and momentum as both the 13-day EMA and MACD-Histogram are rising (you don't have permission to sell). A red price bar indicates that the bears have taken control because the 13-day EMA and MACD Histogram are falling (you don't have permission to buy). A blue price bar indicates mixed technical signals, with neither buying nor selling pressure predominating (either both buying or selling are permitted).
2. Another "extra feature" included here is the " Keltner Channels ". Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average.
3. It were also included a couple of EMAs.
Everything can be removed from the chart any time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Options/adjustments for this indicator:
*Horizontal Distance (width) between two tops/bottoms criteria.
Refers to the horizontal distance between the MACH histogram peaks involved in the divergence
*Height of tops/bottoms criteria (for Histogram).
Refers to the difference/relation/vertical distance between the MACH HISTOGRAM peaks involved in the divergence: 1st Histogram Peak is X times the 2nd.
*Height/Vertical deviation of tops/bottoms criteria (for Price).
Deviation refers to the difference/relation/vertical distance between the PRICE peaks involved in the divergence.
*Plot Regular Bullish Divergences?.
*Plot Regular Bearish Divergences?.
*Delete Previous Cancelled Divergences?.
*Shows a pair of EMAs.
*Shows Keltner Channels (using ATR)
Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average.
*This indicator also has the option to show the Impulse System over the price bars/candles.
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

Short Swing Bearish MACD Cross (By Coinrule)This strategy is oriented towards shorting during downside moves, whilst ensuring the asset is trading in a higher timeframe downtrend, and exiting after further downside.
This script can work well on coins you are planning to hodl for long-term and works especially well whilst using an automated bot that can execute your trades for you. It allows you to hedge your investment by allocating a % of your coins to trade with, whilst not risking your entire holding. This mitigates unrealised losses from hodling as it provides additional cash from the profits made. You can then choose to hodl this cash, or use it to reinvest when the market reaches attractive buying levels. Alternatively, you can use this when trading contracts on futures markets where there is no need to already own the underlying asset prior to shorting it.
ENTRY
This script utilises the MACD indicator accompanied by the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 450 to enter trades. The MACD is a trend following momentum indicator and provides identification of short-term trend direction. In this variation it utilises the 11-period as the fast and 26-period as the slow length EMAs, with signal smoothing set at 9.
The EMA 450 is used as additional confirmation to prevent the script from shorting when price is above this long-term moving average. Once price is above the EMA 450 the script will not open any shorts - preventing the rule from attempting to short uptrends. Due to this, this strategy is ideal for setting and forgetting.
The script will enter trades based on two conditions:
1) When the MACD signals a bearish cross. This occurs when the EMA 11 crosses below the EMA 26 within the MACD signalling the start of a potential downtrend.
2) Price has closed below the EMA 450. Price closing below this long-term EMA signals that the asset is in a sustained downtrend. Price breaking above this could indicate a bullish strength in which shorting would not be profitable.
EXIT
This script utilises a set take-profit and stop-loss from the entry of the trade. The take profit is set at 8% and the stop loss of 4%, providing a risk reward ratio of 2. This indicates the script will be profitable if it has a win ratio greater than 33%.
Take-Profit Exit: -8% price decrease from entry price.
OR
Stop-Loss Exit: +4% price increase from entry price.
Based on backtesting results across a selection of assets, the 45-minute and 1-hour timeframes are the best for this strategy.
The strategy assumes each order is using 30% of the available coins to make the results more realistic and to simulate you only ran this strategy on 30% of your holdings. A trading fee of 0.1% is also taken into account and is aligned to the base fee applied on Binance.
The backtesting data was recorded from December 1st 2021, just as the market was beginning its downtrend. We therefore recommend analysing the market conditions prior to utilising this strategy as it operates best on weak coins during downtrends and bearish conditions, however the EMA 450 condition should mitigate entries during bullish market conditions.

CryptoSignalScanner - MACD Multiple Time FramesDESCRIPTION:
After receiving some multiple request to provide a MACD indicator that displays multiple timeframes at the same time I created this simple script.
You can use this script for free and adjust it as much you like.
With this script you can plot 6 MACD lines & 6 Signal lines.
• Current Timeframe MACD Line
• Current Timeframe Signal Line
• 15 minute candle MACD Line
• 15 minute candle Signal Line
• 30 minute candle MACD Line
• 30 minute candle Signal Line
• 1 hour candle MACD Line
• 1 hour candle Signal Line
• 2 hour candle MACD Line
• 2 hour candle Signal Line
• 4 hour candle MACD Line
• 4 hour candle Signal Line
HOW TO USE:
• When multiple MACD lines on an uptrend are grouped together it is time to SELL.
• When multiple MACD lines on a downtrend are grouped together it is time to BUY.
• The higher to length of the MACD lines the stronger the BUY/SELL signal.
FEATURES:
• You can show/hide the preferred MACD lines.
• You can show/hide the preferred Signal lines.
How MACD works
The MACD indicator is generated by subtracting two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to create the main line (MACD line), which is then used to calculate another EMA that represents the signal line. In addition, there is the MACD histogram, which is calculated based on the differences between those two lines. The histogram, along with the other two lines, fluctuates above and below a center line, which is also known as the zero line.
The MACD indicator consists of three elements moving around the zero line:
• The MACD line. By default the MACD line is calculated by subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA.
MACD line = 12d EMA - 26d EMA
• The signal line. By default the signal line is calculated from a 9-day EMA of the MACD line.
Signal line = 9d EMA of MACD line
• Histogram. The histogram is nothing more than a visual record of the relative movements of the MACD line and the signal line.
It is simply calculated as: MACD line - signal line

MACD Moving Average Convergence/Divergence - DurbtradeDurbtrade MACD - macd line changes color based on vertical direction. This makes it easier to see and discern movements and also helps the indicator to retain maximum functionality when taking up less chart real estate (also, having the color change really helps me see charts on small screens... such as when it's bright outside and I'm driving in my car and glancing at a chart on my phone... it helps having the info pop visually). A fill option is included to fill the space between the macd and signal lines, though I personally prefer to disable this function. Also, you get a zero line if you want it, and it doesn't extend past the current time, removing unnecessary info and keeping your chart looking a bit cleaner. Finally, there are color-coded, cross-over and cross-under background fills, signaling when the macd line crosses the signal line.
This is my 2nd published script, and 2nd script ever. If you like this style, see my 1st published script: Durbtrade Bollinger Bands Width.
Hope you find this useful.

Easy to Use MACD+RSI Strategy
BEGINNERS REJOICE!
Easy to use strategy test using MACD with RSI as a confirming indicator. The code is structured to make it easy to manipulate the variables to your choosing.
EASY TO CHANGE CODE VARIABLES
LINE 2 = Change the amount you invest every trade and the currency
LINE 8/9/10 = Change the defval of each of these lines to backtest from a certain date
LINE 16/17/18 = Change the MACD sensitivity by changing the defval on each line
LINE 21 = Change the value after close toadjust the sensitivity of the RSI
LINE 37/39 = Change/remove the < and > variables for macdLine and rsivalue after the crossover/crossunder to adjust your buying point further.
As a beginner you may not feel comfortable with shorting stocks, therefore LINE 5 was added to only allows long positions.
Funny how a simple indicator can return such a high profitability. Couple this with some trend/exit strategies and you'll have something really special!
