E9 MACD
The E9 MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is a powerful tool used in technical analysis to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals based on price action. It is designed to provide clear visual cues and alerts for trading decisions. Here’s how it applies to price action and its key functionalities:
Key Features and Functionality
MACD Line and Signal Line:
MACD Line: Represents the difference between a fast and a slow moving average of the price. It helps in identifying the momentum of the price movement.
Signal Line: A smoothed average of the MACD Line, used to generate trading signals when the MACD Line crosses above or below it.
Histogram: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line. It visually represents the strength of the trend, with positive values indicating bullish momentum and negative values indicating bearish momentum.
Trend Coloring:
Uptrend: When the MACD Line is above the Signal Line, the bars can be colored green to indicate a potential buying opportunity.
Downtrend: When the MACD Line is below the Signal Line, the bars can be colored red to signal a potential selling opportunity.
Timeframe Flexibility:
The E9 MACD can be adjusted to different timeframes, allowing traders to analyze short-term or long-term trends based on their trading strategy. This flexibility helps in tailoring the indicator’s analysis to different market conditions.
Visual Alerts and Highlights:
The indicator includes options to highlight price bars and background colors when significant crossovers occur, making it easier to spot key trading signals.
Circles can be plotted on the MACD Line to indicate cross events, enhancing visual clarity.
Customizable Appearance:
Traders can customize the appearance of the MACD Line, Signal Line, and Histogram, including color and line width, to suit their personal preferences and improve readability.
Alerts for Trading Signals:
The E9 MACD can generate alerts for crossovers of the MACD Line and Signal Line, helping traders stay informed of potential trading opportunities even when they are not actively monitoring the charts.
Application in Trading
The E9 MACD is particularly useful for:
Identifying potential entry and exit points based on the crossing of the MACD Line and Signal Line.
Gauging the strength of the current trend through the histogram.
Adjusting to different timeframes to align the indicator with various trading strategies, from day trading to long-term investing.
By providing clear visual indicators and alerts, the E9 MACD helps traders make more informed decisions and better understand the momentum and direction of price movements.

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.

RSI, SRSI, MACD and DMI cross - Open source codeHello,
I'm a passionate trader who has spent years studying technical analysis and exploring different trading strategies. Through my research, I've come to realize that certain indicators are essential tools for conducting accurate market analysis and identifying profitable trading opportunities. In particular, I've found that the RSI, SRSI, MACD cross, and Di cross indicators are crucial for my trading success.
Detailed explanation:
The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. It is calculated by comparing the average of gains and losses over a certain period of time. In this indicator, the RSI is calculated based on the close price with a length of 14 periods.
The Stochastic RSI is a combination of the Stochastic Oscillator and the RSI. It is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions of the market. In this indicator, the Stochastic RSI is calculated based on the RSI with a length of 14 periods.
The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. It consists of two lines, the MACD line and the signal line, which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the MACD is calculated based on the close price with fast and slow lengths of 12 and 26 periods, respectively, and a signal length of 9 periods.
The DMI is a trend-following indicator that measures the strength of directional movement in the market. It consists of three lines, the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI), the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the Average Directional Index (ADX), which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the DMI is calculated with a length of 14 periods and an ADX smoothing of 14 periods.
The indicator generates buy signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators.
1) For the RSI, a buy signal is generated when the RSI is below or equal to 35 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15, or when the RSI is below or equal to 28 the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15 or when the RSI is below or equal to 25 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 10 or when the RSI is below or equal to 28.
2) For the MACD, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than 0.
3) For the DMI, a buy signal is generated when the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) crosses above the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the -DI is less than the +DI.
The indicator generates sell signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators:
1) For the RSI, a sell signal is generated when the RSI is above or equal to 75 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 80 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 85 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 90 or when the RSI is above or equal to 82.
2)For the MACD, a sell signal is generated when the MACD line is above 0, there is a change in the histogram from positive to negative, the MACD line and histogram are positive in the previous period, and the current histogram value is less than the previous histogram value. On the other hand, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than the previous histogram value.
3)For the DMI a bearish signal is generated when plusDI crosses above minusDI, indicating that bulls are losing strength and bears are taking control.
The indicator uses a combination of these four indicators to generate potential buy and sell signals. The buy signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in oversold conditions, while sell signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in overbought conditions. The indicator also uses MACD crossovers and DMI crossovers to generate additional buy and sell signals.
When a signal is strong?
The use of multiple signals within a specific timeframe can increase the accuracy and reliability of the signals generated by this indicator. It is recommended to look for at least two signals within a range of 5-8 candles in order to increase the probability of a successful trade.
Why it's original?
1) There is no indicator in the library that combine all of these indicators and give you a 360 view
2)The combination of the RSI, Stochastic RSI, MACD, and DMI indicators in a single script it's unique and not available in the libray.
3)The specific parameters and conditions used to calculate the signals may be unique and not found in other scripts or libraries.
4)The use of plotshape() to plot the signals as shapes on the chart may be unique compared to other scripts that simply plot lines or bars to indicate signals.
5)The use of alertcondition() to trigger alerts based on the signals may be unique compared to other scripts that do not have custom alert functionality.
Keep attention!
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.

Histogram Momentum Shaded CandlesDescription:
The Histogram Momentum Shaded Candles indicator (HMSC) is a powerful technical analysis tool that combines the concepts of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator and shaded candlestick visualization. It provides insights into momentum and trend strength by representing the MACD histogram as shaded candles on the chart.
How it Works:
The HMSC indicator calculates the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) using user-defined parameters such as the fast length, slow length, source, signal smoothing, and moving average types. It then calculates the MACD histogram by subtracting the signal line from the MACD line. The indicator transforms the histogram values into transparency levels for the shaded candles, representing bullish and bearish momentum.
Usage:
To effectively utilize the Histogram Momentum Shaded Candles indicator, follow these steps:
1. Apply the HMSC indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Customize the MACD settings such as the fast length, slow length, source, signal smoothing, and moving average types according to your trading preferences.
3. Observe the shaded candles plotted on the chart:
- Bullish shaded candles (green by default) indicate positive momentum and potential buying pressure.
- Bearish shaded candles (red by default) indicate negative momentum and potential selling pressure.
4. Assess the intensity of the shaded candles:
5. Shading intensity is determined by the magnitude of the MACD histogram, with higher values resulting in more opaque candles.
6. The shading intensity reflects the strength of momentum and can help identify significant shifts in price action.
7. Combine the analysis of shaded candles with traditional candlestick patterns, trend lines, support and resistance levels, and other technical indicators to validate potential trade setups.
8. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.
BE - OBV MACD█ Overview
BE - OBV MACD - Algo Trading is an indicator developed to analyze volume , MACD and PSAR simultaneously in order to understand how they are co-related to each other. This tool calculates the likelihood of strength for buying or selling within the market direction.
█ Calculations
The algorithm individually computes the likelihood of flow of volumes (OBV, MACD & PSAR). A positive score is assigned for events where the Buyers volume is rising over the candle, MACD on the price is rising and MACD on the OBV is providing positive output and the PSAR is Below the close price thus generating the Buy Signal, and a negative score for the vise versa thus generating the Sell Signal.
Note: Since this indicator is an overlay indicator MACD and OBV is not shown on the chart. One can add them on the chart if you wish to analyze the impact of the same.
█ Settings
Customization of settings is possible for risk management concepts like setting the initial SL level, Trail SL Level, Day Max Level.
Hide or Show plots and Table is possible from the indicator settings.

Limited MACDwhat is "Limited MACD"?
it is macd but it has some useful additional features.
what it does?
it takes limited values ??just like rsi. The highest value it can take is 100 and the lowest value is -100. this way it gets the same highs and lows for different symbols and time slots. which means we can set overbought and oversold values ??with it. he also paints candles according to their values. The closer the price is to the oversold values, the more red, and the closer to the overbought values, the greener.
how it does it?
macd values ??are limited by dividing by extreme values. The macd value is used as the variable for the color.rgb function, this is used to get a different color for each macd value.
how to use it?
The variables in the settings section are the same as standard macd.
Use the colors to identify overbought and oversold zones and to predict possible price reversal points. also the indicator will mark possible turning points. other than that, its use is similar to standard macd and its limits are up to your imagination.

Tom Joseph MACD 5-35 for Elliot WavesThis oscillator for the Elliott Theory has been invented by Tom Joseph and it's useful to correctly count the impulsive and corrective waves.
Its difference compared to a simple MACD is the peculiarity to use the ratio between the Fast SMA (default period set to 5) and the Slow SMA (default period se to 35).
The used formula is as below:
( (fast_SMA / slow_SMA) -1 ) * 100
Hope you could find it useful! 😉
3C MACD & RSI Scalper no repaintThis is not a set and forget strategy. It needs constant tweaking to maintain a high winrate. Also what works on one pair can be horrible on another.
This strategy works best on the 1 min or 5 min TF but also works well on the 15 min. Haven't done any testing in higher TF's as im only interested in scalping.
If enabled you can retrive data on the MACD and RSI from any timeframe.
The strategy do not repaint.
You can filter on sessions as well as days. Often trading during say only the EU times and not trading during weekends yields better results. This is because weekeds and eg. the Asia Sessions are alot less volatile.
You do not need a 3c subscription to run this strategy as the bot turns on and off the bot itself.
Instructions for the 3commas connector:
1. First, you need to prepare 3commas Long/Short bots that will only listen to custom TV signals.
2. Inputs for the 3commas bot can be found at the end of the user inputs.
3. Once you have entered the required details into the inputs, turn on 3commas comments. They should appear on the chart (looks messy).
4. Now you can add the alert where you should paste the 3commas Webhook URL: 3commas.io
5. For the alert message text insert the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} and delete the rest. 6. Once the alert is saved, you can turn off those 3commas comments to have a clearer chart.
7. With a new alert, the bot and trade should launch.
Long or Short trades are determined with a crossing of the fast MA over the slow MA for Long and the opposite for Short. Trades should only happen close to the crossovers.
You can select from various different MA's and of course lenghts. I often find that using HEMA as the fast MA and DEMA as the slow give more trades while also maintaining a high winrate.
Then for Long we use the MACD indicator where we look for high peaks in negative values for Long and vice versa for Shorts. These should be significantly higher than other peaks (or if you will lower peaks for a Long).
The key is to detect high peaks on the histogram, which we will try to achieve by checking if the last 2 values were higher than X bars back. If you want to make it even more specific, then you can turn on the additional checkbox which compares the current value to the average value of X bars back, and if it is greater than, say, 72% the value of the average then it's ok to enter the trade.
The RSI filter, sets the maximum RSI threshold for a long position and the minimum for a short. By default and what i recomend is that you enter Longs when RSI is above 50 and shorts when RSI are below 50.
-You can set confirmation of the trade direction with RSI, i.e. for Long the RSI must rise a specified number of bars back, vice versa for Short.
Enabling the pullback filter is great to avoid Longing tops and Shorting bottoms.
Whats ahead. I really want to incorporate RSI divergencies, but haven't figured out how yet. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Have a look at my other strategies. They are similar to this but works abit differently.
The 3 strike line and the engulfing candles are not something that has an impact on the script yet, and might never be. But i do like to turn them on for a visual to see if the trade the strategy opened is a good one.
MACD Potential Divergence - FontiramisuIndicator showing potential momentum divergences on MACD Momentum.
The problem with the classic divergence is that when the signal appears, it is sometimes too late to enter a trade .
The potential divergence corrects this problem by signaling the beginning of a potential divergence .
MACD is a momentum indicator that offers relevant insights with divergences.
Potential divergences are indicated with the letter B and a red color for Bearish Div or Green color for Bullish Div .
Potential divergence is confirmed when the line and the label "Bear"' or "Bull" appear.
Joel on Crypto - MACD ScalpingJoel on Crypto - MACD Scalping
This is a Scalping indicator primarily intended for the 5 minute time frame.
It is based on the Crypto Scalping YouTuber Joel on Crypto's popular 5 minute scalping strategy and this is the indicator he personally use when Scalping.
This is a Multi-timeframe indicator where if you use it on the 5 minute time frame, the MACD Histogram bars will be based on the 1 minute timeframe.
The purpose of this indicator is not to trade it like a bot. The purpose is to grab the traders attention a time where there COULD be a scalping opportunity.
Use this indicator at your own risk.
MACD-VWhat is it?
The MACD-V indicator is the normal version of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator but normalized for volatility. It is normalized for volatility in order to compare momentum values across time and across tickers which the normal MACD indicator fails to do.
Formula
The formula for the MACD-V is as follows
MACD Line = [ / ATR(26)] * 100
Signal Line = EMA(9,MACD)
Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line
How to Use
The MACD-V indicator is used to analyze normalized trends. If the MACD line is above 150, it is considered overbought. If the MACD line is below -150, it is considered oversold. Crossovers of the MACD line and the signal line are considered to be points of trend changes as well.
Features
Customizable Overbought/Oversold boundaries
Customizable colors

Fibonacci Zone Oscillator With MACD HistogramThe columns
After I found a way to calculate a price as a percent of the middle line of the KeltCOG Channel in the KCGmut indicator (published), I got the idea to use the same trick in the Fbonacci Zone Channel (also published), thus creating an oscillator.
I plot the percent’s as columns with the color of the KeltCOG Channel. Because the channels I created and published (i.e. Fibonacci Zone, Donchian Fibonacci Trading Tool, Keltner Fibzones, and KeltCOG) all use Fibonacci zones, this indicator also reports the position of the close in their zones.
Strategy and Use:
Blue column: Close in uptrend area, 4 supports, 0 resistance, ready to rally up.
Green column: Close in buyers area, 3 supports, 1 resistance, looking up.
Gray column: Close in center area 2 supports, 2 resistances, undecided.
Yellow column: Close in sellers area 1 support, 3 resistances, looking down.
Red column: Close in downtrend area, 0 support, 4 resistances, ready to rally down.
I use this indicator in a layout with three timeframes which I use for stock picking, I pick all stocks with a blue column in every timeframe, the indicator is so clear that I can flip through the 50 charts of my universe of high liquid European blue chips in 15 minutes to make a list of these stocks.
Because I use it in conjunction with KeltCOG I also gave it a ‘script sets lookback’ option which can be checked with a feedback label and switched off in the inputs.
The MACD histogram
I admire the MACD because it is spot on when predicting tops and bottoms. It is also the most sexy indictor in TA. Actually just the histogram is needed, so I don’t show the macd-line and the signal line. I use the same lookback for the slow-ma as for the columns, set the fast-ma to half and the signal-line to a third of the general lookback. Therefore I gave the lookback a minimum value of 6, so the signal gets at least a lookback of 2.
The histogram is plotted three times, first as a whitish area to provide a background, then the colums of the Fibzone Oscillator are plotted, then the histogram as a purple line, which contrasts nicely and then as a hardly visible brown histogram.
The input settings give the option to show columns and histogram separate or together.
Strategy and use:
I think about the columns as showing a ‘longer term chosen momentum’ and about the histogram as a ‘short term power momentum’. I use it as additional information.
Enjoy, Eykpunter.

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

Momentum
Trend Strength
Overbought and oversold zones
Being the most beautiful indicator you ever see
Momentum
The big yellow honey waves primary use is to see the momentum of the market, they can be used in a similar way you would use a MACD or Chaikin Money Flow
On this image you see the honey waves being plotted to the 30 minute timeframe while on the 5 minute chart to have an understanding of longer time momentum in the chart.
Trend Strength
Most tools of the indicator can be used for that but the yellow and purple slope strength lines are made specificaly for this. When you see them curl down you know trend is strengthening towards the downside.
The candle color is based on the amount of Honey waves sloping in one direction. This might be the best tool in the indicator to find Trend Strength. Bright yellow candles mean strong bears while the bright blue candles mean strong bulls.
Overbought and oversold zones
By analysing the waves on a chart you start to learn how big waves can get before a reversal or consolidation period arrives.
You can become profitable with the indicator. But to be honest, my primary focus in making this indicator was find ways to visualise alot of data in a clear and beautiful way.
You should use the indicator with some out of the box ideas instead of just trusting the signals.
examples:
Find a head and shoulders pattern on the top of a huge honey wave.
Find a bottom small wave while the others honey waves are in the opposite direction for entering a pullback.
Use the honey for direction but the yellow and purple slope line crosses for entrys.
Comment your own strategys, I made this open source to be able to get community feedback.
The Honey Cypher waves are calculated in a similar way as the MACD histogram. I've combined MACD formula with some of the lazybear formula. It looks for the distance between 2 moving averages to find trend strength. After that the end results get's smoothed out. It is very satisfying to change that as you can see the honey waves create a melting like motion on each change of smoothing.
Below a preview of the honey cypher moving average lines, all lines have a length that is based on the fibonacci number sequence. Honey cypher measures the distance between for example length 5-8 averages.
I hope this inspires coders to create very beautiful scripts.
MACD Infinity Indicator(MACDI)MACDI is the macd of macd indicators and macd of macd indicators of macd indicatrs and so on...!!

The best MACD line + MACD signal + MACD histogram DivergencesHi everyone,
Here is a script that synthesizes divergence signals from the MACD indicator, including 3 options:
- MACD divegence
- MACD signal divergence
- MACD histogram divergence
Scripts are used for learning and research purposes. THESE ARE NOT BUY/SELL SIGNALS.
If you have a better idea, share it here or contact me via msg. I will improve this script better in next version.
Settings:
Basically, you only need to care about 2 parameters:
- MACD Source: There are 3 options: macdLine, signLine and histLine.
- Lookback Level For Divs: Number of previously adjacent peak.
- Other parameters, you can research more
Feel free to use, share, comment & provide feedback.

Good luck!
[blackcat] L1 Stick-Line Merged MACDLevel: 1
Background
The MACD is a superior derivative of moving average crossovers and was developed by Gerald Appel in 1979 as a market timing tool. MACD uses two exponential moving averages with different bar periods, which are then subtracted to form what Mr. Appel calls the Fast Line. A 9-period moving average of the fast line creates the slow line.
Function
L1 Stick-Line Merged MACD merges dif and dea lines with macd sticks by the same color candles. The generation of candles help to confirm the trend contiuation. E.g. yellow candles indicate up trend continuation while blue candles indicate down trend continuation
Key Signal
dif --> classic MACD diff fast line in yellow
dea --> classic MACD dea slow line in fuchsia
macd --> classic difference histogram
upslmerge --> up trend continuation yellow candle merge condition
dnslmerge --> down trend continuation blue candle merge condition
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. merged line and stick with candles help confirm trend reversal
2. long entry signal is indicated.
Cons:
1. need sophisticated knowledge of MACD to use this well
2. this still requires a lot of MACD experience to obtain reliable trading signals
Remarks
Merge lines and sticks of MACD into candles. Better view of the trend

In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
MACD_trendtrader v2 (picte)This is an upgraded version of my MACD_trendtrader indicator.
UPGRADES:
- Histogram slope changes colors according to the direction of the slope.
- Panel that displays volatility of the asset. The volatility is measured from 0 to 100. Zero being the lowest and 100 the highest volatility. I also included different text colors for a certain volatility value (white= very low volatility, blue = low volatility, purple= high volatility, green= very high volatility)
It works well on all time-frames but i found it particularly useful on the lower time-frames for identifying pullbacks in a trending market.
It has been tested in the Forex and Traditional market.
[SignalFI] MACD PrimeWelcome! As part of our continual process to build and enhance trusted existing indicators, we're proud to release MACD Prime to the PRIME series for those traders that rely on the popular divergence mechanics traditional MACD provides.
MACD Prime provides a default MACD structure using the popular 12,26 EMAs and a 9 lockback signal line as the core of the indicator's functionality. In this way, you will get a consistent view for what you're use to, but of course we've added additional functionality that can be used to increase the value this view provides when trading.
ADDITIONAL Functions:
1) MACD Fast and Slow EMA sources are selectable, thus allowing the user to select OHLC variants as the source input for the 12/26 trendlines.
2) Background Coloring is based on a secondary "Signal" color which be default has been set to 6. This length is configurable, and providing a leading edge to the typical "MACD Cross". Said simply, the background color will change with the trend BEFORE a default MACD cross occurs. This may provide early warning of a MACD cross, and allow for additional entry/exit signals to manifest depending on other confluence with price and trend information.
3) MACD Trend Lines. In accordance with the PRIME series MACD Prime comes bundled with Trend Line support and resistance pivots that provide additional context for how the MACD may act based on a previous and projected trend line information. By default projections are turned off, but can be enabled from within the menu options. These trendlines can be used to spot divergences as well, and can be tuned within the option to increase resolution or decrease noise provided by trend lines.
All other standard functions persist, including the typical MACD line, MACD Signal Line, and MACD Histogram.
SignalFI was created to help traders and investors to effectively analyze the market based on the Golden Mean Ratio (Fibonacci numbers), plan a trade and ultimately execute it. To help inform and educate market decisions we developed a set of Trading Indicators which are available on TradingView.
SignalFI indicators are just that, indicators. Our indicators are generally configured to use completely historical data (negating repaint), and we advise all alerts created with SignalFI indicators to be fired upon "close" of the current candle. Our indicators can provide valuable context and visualization support when performing market analysis and executing buy and sell decisions. However. we are not financial experts, and all information presented on this site or our other media outlets are for educational purposes only.
Renko MACD TrendThe goal of this indicator is to plot the MACD, Signal, and Histogram values "as if" the chart is a true price action based Renko chart. It can be used on a time series chart or Renko series chart. The MACD is derived from the raw price action of a time-based chart, where the historic and live price is clustered into Renko bricks. The Renko brick production algorithm is entirely backed by Renko Overlay Ribbon and thoroughly tested.
The algorithm takes into account rapid brick production within a single time candle and adjusts accordingly. The output may vary slightly between different chart time frames for the same indicator settings, but this is due to the lack of price fluctuation visibility that can occur in higher chart time frames. If the brick tick size is low, an appropriate chart interval should be selected that maximizes the amount of price volatility visible to the indicator. A bad setting would be something like a 1 tick EURUSD Renko setting on an H4 or Day chart, there simply is no way to derive the exact and ordered price fluctuations in a single candle, 1 pip at a time. A more appropriate chart time frame would be 1-5 minutes for this selected Renko brick size.
The difference between this indicator and the companion Renko MACD indicator can be understood in the following video. The indicator plots the current MACD - Signal cross and MACD - Zero cross thresholds on the chart so that you know exactly where the most important crossing values are at all times. This can be used as a dynamic stop or a dynamic entry location for trades.

MACD Builder ProOur newest indicator, the MACD Builder Pro, gives traders the ability to build a MACD based on 7 different kinds of moving averages. The options include:
1.Standard MACD (EMA)
2.Hull Moving Average MACD
3.Volume Weighted MACD (VWMA)
4.Arnaud Legoux MACD (ALMA)
5.Double EMA MACD
6.MACD based on median
7. Simple Moving Average (SMA) MACD
Additionally, we've included countless plotting options for users to choose from. Users can choose to plot either the MACD or MACD Histogram in addition to the signal line. There is also an option to have the entry and exit signals displayed as green(entry) and red(exit) triangles for the entry and exit signals or red and green vertical highlight lines.
We've also provided the ability to fully customize the entry and exit conditions for the indicators trading logic. As mentioned, we've included over 7 different types of MACD indicators. But, we also included the ability to customize the lengths of the fast and slow Moving Averages used in the MACD calculation, as well as the length of the signal line. For entry conditions, the different options are:
1. MACD Histogram Above/Below Zero- Entry signals are generated when MACD Histogram crosses above the zero line into positive territory and exit signals come when the MACD Histogram crosses under the zero line into negative territory.
2. MACD Histogram Rising/Falling - Entry signals are generated when MACD Histogram first begins rising and exits when MACD Histogram first starts decreasing.
3. MACD Above/Below Zero - Entry signals are generated when MACD crosses above the zero line into positive territory and exit signals come when the MACD crosses under the zero line into negative territory.
4. MACD Rising/Falling - Entry signals are generated when MACD first begins rising and exits when MACD first starts decreasing.
As always, this script comes with pre-set alerts and we will be offering 3 day trials to anyone interested!
