OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Awesome Oscillator and MACD Histogram
This is a quick script that combines two standard indicators, the Awesome Oscillator and MACD histogram, to highlight the beginnings of periods of fast price movement (divergence between the two). Since MACD's EMA responds more quickly than AO's SMA, look for periods of green over gold as a bullish signal, and red under blue as a bearish signal.
Of course both indicators are lagging in nature, but the presence of this divergence often leads larger, continued movement in the same direction.
