Ultimate MACD [captainua]Ultimate MACD - Comprehensive MACD Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines traditional MACD calculations with advanced features including divergence detection, volume analysis, histogram analysis tools, regression forecasting, strong top/bottom detection, and multi-timeframe confirmation to provide a comprehensive MACD-based trading system. The script calculates MACD using configurable moving average types (EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA) and applies various smoothing methods to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness. The combination of these features creates a multi-layered confirmation system that reduces false signals by requiring alignment across multiple indicators and timeframes.
Core Calculations
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates MACD using the standard formula: MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA, Signal Line = Moving Average of MACD Line, Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line. The default parameters are Fast=12, Slow=26, Signal=9, matching the traditional MACD settings. The script supports four moving average types:
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Standard and most responsive, default choice
- SMA (Simple Moving Average): Equal weight to all periods
- RMA (Wilder's Moving Average): Smoother, less responsive
- WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Recent prices weighted more heavily
The price source can be configured as Close (standard), Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, or OHLC4. Alternative sources provide different sensitivity characteristics for various trading strategies.
Configuration Presets:
The script includes trading style presets that automatically configure MACD parameters:
- Scalping: Fast/Responsive settings (8,18,6 with minimal smoothing)
- Day Trading: Balanced settings (10,22,7 with minimal smoothing)
- Swing Trading: Standard settings (12,26,9 with moderate smoothing)
- Position Trading: Smooth/Conservative settings (15,35,12 with higher smoothing)
- Custom: Full manual control over all parameters
Histogram Smoothing:
The histogram can be smoothed using EMA to reduce noise and filter minor fluctuations. Smoothing length of 1 = raw histogram (no smoothing), higher values (3-5) = smoother histogram. Increased smoothing reduces noise but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
MACD values can be converted to percentage of price (MACD/Close*100) for cross-instrument comparison. This is useful when comparing MACD signals across instruments with different price levels (e.g., BTC vs ETH). The percentage mode normalizes MACD values, making them comparable regardless of instrument price.
MACD Scale Factor:
A scale factor multiplier (default 1.0) allows adjusting MACD display size for better visibility. Use 0.3-0.5 if MACD appears too compressed, or 2.0-3.0 if too small.
Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Overbought and oversold levels are calculated dynamically based on MACD's mean and standard deviation over a lookback period. The formula: OB = MACD Mean + (StdDev × OB Multiplier), OS = MACD Mean - (StdDev × OS Multiplier). This adapts to current market conditions, widening in volatile markets and narrowing in calm markets. The lookback period (default 20) controls how quickly the levels adapt: longer periods (30-50) = more stable levels, shorter (10-15) = more responsive.
OB/OS Background Coloring:
Optional background coloring can highlight the entire panel when MACD enters overbought or oversold territory, providing prominent visual indication of extreme conditions. The background colors are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Divergence Detection
Regular Divergence:
The script uses the MACD line (not histogram) for divergence detection, which provides more reliable signals. Bullish divergence: Price makes a lower low while MACD line makes a higher low. Bearish divergence: Price makes a higher high while MACD line makes a lower high. Divergences often precede reversals and are powerful reversal signals.
Pivot-Based Divergence:
The divergence detection uses actual pivot points (pivotlow/pivothigh) instead of simple lowest/highest comparisons. This provides more accurate divergence detection by identifying significant pivot lows/highs in both price and MACD line. The pivot-based method compares two recent pivot points: for bullish divergence, price makes a lower low while MACD makes a higher low at the pivot points. This method reduces false divergences by requiring actual pivot points rather than just any low/high within a period.
The pivot lookback parameters (left and right) control how many bars on each side of a pivot are required for confirmation. Higher values = more conservative pivot detection.
Hidden Divergence:
Continuation patterns that signal trend continuation rather than reversal. Bullish hidden divergence: Price makes a higher low but MACD makes a lower low. Bearish hidden divergence: Price makes a lower high but MACD makes a higher high. These patterns indicate the trend is likely to continue in the current direction.
Zero-Line Filter:
The "Don't Touch Zero Line" option ensures divergences occur in proper context: for bullish divergence, MACD must stay below zero; for bearish divergence, MACD must stay above zero. This filters out divergences that occur in neutral zones.
Range Filtering:
Minimum and maximum lookback ranges control the time window between pivots to consider for divergence. This helps filter out divergences that are too close together (noise) or too far apart (less relevant).
Volume Confirmation System
Volume threshold filtering requires current volume to exceed the volume SMA multiplied by the threshold factor. The formula: Volume Confirmed = Volume > (Volume SMA × Threshold). If the threshold is set to 1.0 or lower, volume confirmation is effectively disabled (always returns true). This allows you to use the indicator without volume filtering if desired. Volume confirmation significantly increases divergence and signal reliability.
Volume Climax and Dry-Up Detection:
The script can mark bars with extremely high volume (volume climax) or extremely low volume (volume dry-up). Volume climax indicates potential reversal points or strong momentum continuation. Volume dry-up indicates low participation and may produce unreliable signals. These markers use standard deviation multipliers to identify extreme volume conditions.
Zero-Line Cross Detection
MACD zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts: above zero = bullish momentum, below zero = bearish momentum. The script includes alert conditions for zero-line crosses with cooldown protection to prevent alert spam. Zero-line crosses can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
Histogram Analysis Tools
Histogram Moving Average:
A moving average applied to the histogram itself helps identify histogram trend direction and acts as a signal line for histogram movements. Supports EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA types. Useful for identifying when histogram momentum is strengthening or weakening.
Histogram Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are applied to the MACD histogram instead of price. The calculation: Basis = SMA(Histogram, Period), StdDev = stdev(Histogram, Period), Upper = Basis + (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier), Lower = Basis - (StdDev × Deviation Multiplier). This creates dynamic zones around the histogram that adapt to histogram volatility. When the histogram touches or exceeds the bands, it indicates extreme conditions relative to recent histogram behavior.
Stochastic MACD (StochMACD):
Stochastic MACD applies the Stochastic oscillator formula to the MACD histogram instead of price. This normalizes the histogram to a 0-100 scale, making it easier to identify overbought/oversold conditions on the histogram itself. The calculation: %K = ((Histogram - Lowest Histogram) / (Highest Histogram - Lowest Histogram)) × 100. %K is smoothed, and %D is calculated as the moving average of smoothed %K. Standard thresholds are 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Regression Forecasting
The script includes advanced regression forecasting that predicts future MACD values using mathematical models. This helps anticipate potential MACD movements and provides forward-looking context for trading decisions.
Regression Types:
- Linear: Simple trend line (y = mx + b) - fastest, works well for steady trends
- Polynomial: Quadratic curve (y = ax² + bx + c) - captures curvature in MACD movement
- Exponential Smoothing: Weighted average with more weight on recent values - responsive to recent changes
- Moving Average: Uses difference between short and long MA to estimate trend - stable and smooth
Forecast Horizon:
Number of bars to forecast ahead (default 5, max 50 for linear/MA, max 20 for polynomial due to performance). Longer horizons predict further ahead but may be less accurate.
Confidence Bands:
Optional upper/lower bands around forecast show prediction uncertainty based on forecast error (standard deviation of prediction vs actual). Wider bands = higher uncertainty. The confidence level multiplier (default 1.5) controls band width.
Forecast Display:
Forecast appears as dotted lines extending forward from current bar, with optional confidence bands. All forecast values respect percentage mode and scale factor settings.
Strong Top/Bottom Signals
The script detects strong recovery from extreme MACD levels, generating "sBottom" and "sTop" signals. These identify significant reversal potential when MACD recovers substantially from overbought/oversold extremes.
Strong Bottom (sBottom):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its lowest point in the bottom period (default 10 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the oversold zone
3. MACD has recovered by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the lowest point
4. Recovery persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the oversold zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Strong Top (sTop):
Triggered when:
1. MACD was at or near its highest point in the top period (default 7 bars)
2. MACD was in or near the overbought zone
3. MACD has declined by at least the threshold amount (default 0.5) from the highest point
4. Decline persists for confirmation bars (default 2 consecutive bars)
5. MACD has moved out of the overbought zone
6. Volume is above average
7. All enabled filters pass
8. Minimum bars have passed since last signal (reset period, default 5 bars)
Label Placement:
sTop/sBottom labels appear on the historical bar where the actual extreme occurred (not on current bar), showing the exact MACD value at that extreme. Labels respect the unified distance checking system to prevent overlaps with Buy/Sell Strength labels.
Signal Strength Calculation
The script calculates a composite signal strength score (0-100) based on multiple factors:
- MACD distance from signal line (0-50 points): Larger separation indicates stronger signal
- Volume confirmation (0-15 points): Volume above average adds points
- Secondary timeframe alignment (0-15 points): Higher timeframe agreement adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-20 points): Closer to zero can indicate stronger reversal potential
Higher scores (70+) indicate stronger, more reliable signals. The signal strength is displayed in the statistics table and can be used as a filter to only accept signals above a threshold.
Smart Label Placement System
The script includes an advanced label placement system that tracks MACD extremes and places Buy/Sell Strength labels at optimal locations:
Label Placement Algorithm:
- Labels appear on the current bar at confirmation (not on historical extreme bars), ensuring they're visible when the signal is confirmed
- The system tracks pending signals when MACD enters OB/OS zones or crosses the signal line
- During tracking, the system continuously searches for the true extreme (lowest MACD for buys, highest MACD for sells) within a configurable historical lookback period
- Labels are only finalized when: (1) MACD exits the OB/OS zone, (2) sufficient bars have passed (2x minimum distance), (3) MACD has recovered/declined by a configurable percentage from the extreme (default 15%), and (4) tracking has stopped (no better extreme found)
Label Spacing and Overlap Prevention:
- Minimum Bars Between Labels: Base distance requirement (default 5 bars)
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Scales the base distance (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher values = more spacing between labels
- Effective distance = Base Distance × Spacing Multiplier (e.g., 5 × 1.5 = 7.5 bars minimum)
- Unified distance checking prevents overlaps between all label types (Buy Strength, Sell Strength, sTop, sBottom)
Strength-Based Filtering:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Only labels with strength at or above this threshold are displayed (default 75%)
- When multiple potential labels are close together, the system automatically compares strengths and keeps only the strongest one
- This ensures only the most significant signals are displayed, reducing chart clutter
Zero Line Polarity Enforcement:
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity (default enabled): Ensures labels follow traditional MACD interpretation
- Buy Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was below zero (negative territory)
- Sell Strength labels only appear when the tracked extreme MACD value was above zero (positive territory)
- This prevents counter-intuitive labels (e.g., Buy labels above zero line) and aligns with standard MACD trading principles
Recovery/Decline Confirmation:
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Percent move away from the extreme required before finalizing (default 15%)
- For Buy labels: MACD must recover by at least this percentage from the tracked bottom
- For Sell labels: MACD must decline by at least this percentage from the tracked top
- Higher values = more confirmation required, fewer but more reliable labels
Historical Lookback:
- Historical Lookback for Label Placement: Number of bars to search for true extremes (default 20)
- The system searches within this period to find the actual lowest/highest MACD value
- Higher values analyze more history but may be slower; lower values are faster but may miss some extremes
Cross Quality Score
The script calculates a MACD cross quality score (0-100) that rates crossover quality based on:
- Cross angle (0-50 points): Steeper crosses = stronger signals
- Volume confirmation (0-25 points): Volume above average adds points
- Distance from zero line (0-25 points): Crosses near zero line are stronger
This score helps identify high-quality crossovers and can be used as a filter to only accept signals meeting minimum quality threshold.
Filtering System
Histogram Filter:
Requires histogram to be above zero for buy signals, below zero for sell signals. Ensures momentum alignment before generating signals.
Signal Strength Filter:
Requires minimum signal strength score for signals. Higher threshold = only strongest signals pass. This combines multiple confirmation factors into a single filter.
Cross Quality Filter:
Requires minimum cross quality score for signals. Rates crossover quality based on angle, volume, momentum, and distance from zero. Only signals meeting minimum quality threshold will be generated.
All filters use the pattern: filterResult = not filterEnabled OR conditionMet. This means if a filter is disabled, it always passes (returns true). Filters can be combined, and all must pass for a signal to fire.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The script can display MACD from a secondary (higher) timeframe and use it for confirmation. When secondary timeframe confirmation is enabled, signals require the higher timeframe MACD to align (bullish/bearish) with the signal direction. This ensures signals align with the larger trend context, reducing counter-trend trades.
Secondary Timeframe MACD:
The secondary timeframe MACD uses the same calculation parameters (fast, slow, signal, MA type) as the main MACD but from a higher timeframe. This provides context for the current timeframe's MACD position relative to the larger trend. The secondary MACD lines are displayed on the chart when enabled.
Noise Filtering
Noise filtering hides small histogram movements below a threshold. This helps focus on significant moves and reduces chart clutter. When enabled, only histogram movements above the threshold are displayed. Typical threshold values are 0.1-0.5 for most instruments, depending on the instrument's price range and volatility.
Signal Debounce
Signal debounce prevents duplicate MACD cross signals within a short time period. Useful when MACD crosses back and forth quickly, creating multiple signals. Debounce ensures only one signal per period, reducing signal spam during choppy markets. This is separate from alert cooldown, which applies to all alert types.
Background Color Modes
The script offers three background color modes:
- Dynamic: Full MACD heatmap based on OB/OS conditions, confidence, and momentum. Provides rich visual feedback.
- Monotone: Soft neutral background but still allows overlays (OB/OS zones). Keeps the chart clean without overpowering candles.
- Off: No MACD background (only overlays and plots). Maximum chart cleanliness.
When OB/OS background colors are enabled, they are drawn on top of the main background to ensure visibility.
Statistics Table
A real-time statistics table displays current MACD values, signal strength, distance from zero line, secondary timeframe alignment, volume confirmation status, and all active filter statuses. The table dynamically adjusts to show only enabled features, keeping it clean and relevant. The table position can be configured (Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right).
Performance Statistics Table
An optional performance statistics table shows comprehensive filter diagnostics:
- Total buy/sell signals (raw crossover count before filters)
- Filtered buy/sell signals (signals that passed all filters)
- Overall pass rates (percentage of signals that passed filters)
- Rejected signals count
- Filter-by-filter rejection diagnostics showing which filters rejected how many signals
This table helps optimize filter settings by showing which filters are most restrictive and how they impact signal frequency. The diagnostics format shows rejections as "X B / Y S" (X buy signals rejected, Y sell signals rejected) or "Disabled" if the filter is not active.
Alert System
The script includes separate alert conditions for each signal type:
- MACD Cross: MACD line crosses above/below Signal line (with or without secondary confirmation)
- Zero-Line Cross: MACD crosses above/below zero
- Divergence: Regular and hidden divergence detections
- Secondary Timeframe: Higher timeframe MACD crosses
- Histogram MA Cross: Histogram crosses above/below its moving average
- Histogram Zero Cross: Histogram crosses above/below zero
- StochMACD: StochMACD overbought/oversold entries and %K/%D crosses
- Histogram BB: Histogram touches/breaks Bollinger Bands
- Volume Events: Volume climax and dry-up detections
- OB/OS: MACD entry/exit from overbought/oversold zones
- Strong Top/Bottom: sTop and sBottom signal detections
Each alert type has its own cooldown system to prevent alert spam. The cooldown requires a minimum number of bars between alerts of the same type, reducing duplicate alerts during volatile periods. Alert types can be filtered to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom).
How Components Work Together
MACD crossovers provide the primary signal when the MACD line crosses the Signal line. Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals. Divergences identify potential reversals before they occur.
Volume confirmation ensures signals occur with sufficient market participation, filtering out low-volume false breakouts. Histogram analysis tools (MA, Bollinger Bands, StochMACD) provide additional context for signal reliability and identify significant histogram zones.
Signal strength combines multiple confirmation factors into a single score, making it easy to filter for only the strongest signals. Cross quality score rates crossover quality to identify high-quality setups. Multi-timeframe confirmation ensures signals align with higher timeframe trends, reducing counter-trend trades.
Usage Instructions
Getting Started:
The default configuration shows MACD(12,26,9) with standard EMA calculations. Start with default settings and observe behavior, then customize settings to match your trading style. You can use configuration presets for quick setup based on your trading style.
Customizing MACD Parameters:
Adjust Fast Length (default 12), Slow Length (default 26), and Signal Length (default 9) based on your trading timeframe. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. You can change the moving average type: EMA for responsiveness, RMA for smoothness, WMA for recent price emphasis.
Price Source Selection:
Choose Close (standard), or alternative sources (HL2, HLC3, OHLC4) for different sensitivity. HL2 uses the midpoint of the high-low range, HLC3 and OHLC4 incorporate more price information.
Histogram Smoothing:
Set smoothing to 1 for raw histogram (no smoothing), or increase (3-5) for smoother histogram that reduces noise. Higher smoothing reduces false signals but may delay signals slightly.
Percentage Mode:
Enable percentage mode when comparing MACD across instruments with different price levels. This normalizes MACD values, making them directly comparable.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels:
The dynamic thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. Adjust the multipliers (default 1.5) to fine-tune sensitivity: higher values (2.0-3.0) = more extreme thresholds (fewer signals), lower (1.0-1.5) = more frequent signals. Adjust the lookback period to control how quickly levels adapt. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication of extreme conditions.
Volume Confirmation:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or higher (1.2-1.5) for standard confirmation. Higher values require more volume for confirmation. Set to 0.1 to completely disable volume filtering.
Filters:
Enable filters gradually to find your preferred balance. Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter (threshold 50+) for moderate signals, then cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for high-quality crossovers. Combine filters for highest-quality signals but expect fewer signals.
Divergence:
Enable divergence detection and adjust pivot lookback parameters. Pivot-based divergence provides more accurate detection using actual pivot points. Hidden divergence is useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust range parameters to filter divergences by time window.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line cross alerts are automatically available when alerts are enabled. These provide early warning signals for momentum shifts.
Histogram Analysis Tools:
Enable Histogram Moving Average to see histogram trend direction. Enable Histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable Stochastic MACD to normalize histogram to 0-100 scale for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see higher timeframe context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Signal Strength:
Signal strength is automatically calculated and displayed in the statistics table. Use signal strength filter to only accept signals above a threshold (e.g., 50 for moderate, 70+ for strong signals only).
Smart Label Placement:
Configure label placement settings to control label appearance and quality:
- Label Strength Minimum (%): Set threshold (default 75%) to show only strong signals. Higher = fewer, stronger labels
- Label Spacing Multiplier: Adjust spacing (default 1.5x) for better distribution. Higher = more spacing between labels
- Recovery/Decline Confirm (%): Set confirmation requirement (default 15%). Higher = more confirmation, fewer labels
- Enforce Zero Line Polarity: Enable (default) to ensure Buy labels only appear when tracked extreme was below zero, Sell labels only when above zero
- Historical Lookback: Adjust search period (default 20 bars) for finding true extremes. Higher = more history analyzed
Cross Quality:
Cross quality score is automatically calculated for crossovers. Use cross quality filter to only accept high-quality crossovers (threshold 50+ for moderate, 70+ for high quality).
Alerts:
Set up alerts for your preferred signal types. Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types (All, MACD Cross, Zero Line, Divergence, Secondary Timeframe, Histogram MA, Histogram Zero, StochMACD, Histogram BB, Volume Events, OB/OS, Strong Top/Bottom). Each signal type has its own alert condition, so you can be selective about which signals trigger alerts.
Visual Elements and Signal Markers
The script uses various visual markers to indicate signals and conditions:
- MACD Line: Green when above signal (bullish), red when below (bearish) if dynamic colors enabled. Optional black outline for enhanced visibility
- Signal Line: Orange line with optional black outline for enhanced visibility
- Histogram: Color-coded based on direction and momentum (green for bullish rising, lime for bullish falling, red for bearish falling, orange for bearish rising)
- Zero Line: Horizontal reference line at MACD = 0
- Fill to Zero: Green/red semi-transparent fill between MACD line and zero line showing bullish/bearish territory
- Fill Between OB/OS: Blue semi-transparent fill between overbought/oversold thresholds highlighting neutral zone
- OB/OS Background Colors: Background coloring when MACD enters overbought/oversold zones
- Background Colors: Dynamic or monotone backgrounds indicating MACD state, or custom chart background

- StochMACD Lines: %K and %D lines with overbought/oversold thresholds
- Regression Forecast: Dotted blue lines extending forward with optional confidence bands
Signal Priority and Interpretation
Signals are generated independently and can occur simultaneously. Higher-priority signals generally indicate stronger setups:
1. MACD Cross with Multiple Filters - Highest priority: Requires MACD crossover plus all enabled filters (histogram, signal strength, cross quality) and secondary timeframe confirmation if enabled. These are the most reliable signals.
2. Zero-Line Cross - High priority: Indicates momentum shift. Can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line.
3. Divergence Signals - Medium-High priority: Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal.
4. MACD Cross with Basic Filters - Medium priority: MACD crosses signal line with basic histogram filter. Less reliable alone but useful when combined with other confirmations.
Best practice: Wait for multiple confirmations. For example, a MACD crossover combined with divergence, volume confirmation, and secondary timeframe alignment provides the strongest setup.
Chart Requirements
For proper script functionality and compliance with TradingView requirements, ensure your chart displays:
- Symbol name: The trading pair or instrument name should be visible
- Timeframe: The chart timeframe should be clearly displayed
- Script name: "Ultimate MACD " should be visible in the indicator title
These elements help traders understand what they're viewing and ensure proper script identification. The script automatically includes this information in the indicator title and chart labels.
Performance Considerations
The script is optimized for performance:
- Calculations use efficient Pine Script functions (ta.ema, ta.sma, etc.) which are optimized by TradingView
- Conditional execution: Features only calculate when enabled
- Label management: Old labels are automatically deleted to prevent accumulation
- Array management: Divergence label arrays are limited to prevent memory accumulation
The script should perform well on all timeframes. On very long historical data with many enabled features, performance may be slightly slower, but it remains usable.
Known Limitations and Considerations
- Dynamic OB/OS levels can vary significantly based on recent MACD volatility. In very volatile markets, levels may be wider; in calm markets, they may be narrower.
- Volume confirmation requires sufficient historical volume data. On new instruments or very short timeframes, volume calculations may be less reliable.
- Higher timeframe MACD uses request.security() which may have slight delays on some data feeds.
- Stochastic MACD requires the histogram to have sufficient history. Very short periods on new charts may produce less reliable StochMACD values initially.
- Divergence detection requires sufficient historical data to identify pivot points. Very short lookback periods may produce false positives.
Practical Use Cases
The indicator can be configured for different trading styles and timeframes:
Swing Trading:
Use MACD(12,26,9) with secondary timeframe confirmation. Enable divergence detection. Use signal strength filter (threshold 50+) and cross quality filter (threshold 50+) for higher-quality signals. Enable histogram analysis tools for additional context.
Day Trading:
Use MACD(8,17,7) or use "Day Trading" preset with minimal histogram smoothing for faster signals. Enable zero-line cross alerts for early signals. Use volume confirmation with threshold 1.2-1.5. Enable histogram MA for momentum tracking.
Trend Following:
Use MACD(12,26,9) or longer periods (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Enable secondary timeframe confirmation for trend alignment. Hidden divergence signals are useful for trend continuation entries. Use cross quality filter to identify high-quality crossovers.
Reversal Trading:
Focus on divergence detection (pivot-based for accuracy) combined with zero-line crosses. Enable volume confirmation. Use histogram Bollinger Bands to identify extreme histogram zones. Enable StochMACD for overbought/oversold identification.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Enable secondary timeframe MACD to see context from larger timeframes. For example, use daily MACD on hourly charts to understand the larger trend context. Enable secondary confirmation to require higher timeframe alignment for signals.
Practical Tips and Best Practices
Getting Started:
Start with default settings and observe MACD behavior. The default configuration (MACD 12,26,9 with EMA) is balanced and works well across different markets. After observing behavior, customize settings to match your trading style. Consider using configuration presets for quick setup.
Reducing Repainting:
All signals are based on confirmed bars, minimizing repainting. The script uses confirmed bar data for all calculations to ensure backtesting accuracy.
Signal Quality:
MACD crosses with multiple filters provide the highest-quality signals because they require alignment across multiple indicators. These signals have lower frequency but higher reliability. Use signal strength scores to identify the strongest signals (70+). Use cross quality scores to identify high-quality crossovers (70+).
Filter Combinations:
Start with histogram filter for basic momentum alignment, then add signal strength filter for moderate signals, then cross quality filter for high-quality crossovers. Combining all filters significantly reduces false signals but also reduces signal frequency. Find your balance based on your risk tolerance.
Volume Filtering:
Set volume threshold to 1.0 (default, effectively disabled) or lower to effectively disable volume filtering if you trade instruments with unreliable volume data or want to test without volume confirmation. Standard confirmation uses 1.2-1.5 threshold.
MACD Period Selection:
Standard MACD(12,26,9) provides balanced signals suitable for most trading. Shorter periods (8,17,7) for faster signals, longer (15,30,12) for smoother signals. Adjust based on your timeframe and trading style. Consider using configuration presets for optimized settings.
Moving Average Type:
EMA provides balanced responsiveness with smoothness. RMA is smoother and less responsive. WMA gives more weight to recent prices. SMA gives equal weight to all periods. Choose based on your preference for responsiveness vs. smoothness.
Divergence:
Pivot-based divergence is more reliable than simple divergence because it uses actual pivot points. Hidden divergence indicates continuation rather than reversal, useful for trend-following strategies. Adjust pivot lookback parameters to control sensitivity.
Dynamic Thresholds:
Dynamic OB/OS thresholds automatically adapt to volatility. In volatile markets, thresholds widen; in calm markets, they narrow. Adjust the multipliers to fine-tune sensitivity. Enable OB/OS background colors for visual indication.
Zero-Line Crosses:
Zero-line crosses indicate momentum shifts and can provide early warning signals before MACD crosses the signal line. Enable alerts for zero-line crosses to catch these early signals.
Alert Management:
Enable alert cooldown (default enabled, 5 bars) to prevent alert spam. Use alert type filter to only evaluate specific alert types. Signal debounce (default enabled, 3 bars) prevents duplicate MACD cross signals during choppy markets.

Tracks two layers of OS/OB logic:
Base triggers (broader detection)
Refined triggers (stricter pattern match layered on top of Base)
Plots a Squeeze anchor level during squeeze “ON” runs and provides squeeze lifecycle alerts (start/release + bull/bear release).
Optionally plots OS/OB start markers (seed points) and slope-acceleration markers for momentum context.
Provides alertconditions for starts, active lines, price interactions, within-N-bar follow-through, squeeze lifecycle, and hold/confirm.
Core Concepts
Mutually inclusive Base + Refined
Refined logic is not a competing system. It is a stricter confirmation layer on top of the Base logic.
You can use Base levels as the “watch” context, and Refined levels as a higher-confidence confirmation (or display both).
Line segments (line breaks)
OS/OB levels are drawn as horizontal segments using line-break style plotting. Each segment represents a “reference level” that remains valid for a limited number of bars after it triggers.
If a new, more extreme OS/OB triggers while a prior one is active, the plot will step to the new level (by design).
How to read the plots
OS Levels (below price)
These are support reference levels. Common reads:
Touch : price trades into the OS line.
Reclaim : close crosses back above the OS line.
Bounce : price dips below OS intrabar but closes above it (same bar).
Hold/Confirm : close stays above OS for N consecutive bars.
OB Levels (above price)
These are resistance reference levels. Common reads:
Touch : price trades into the OB line.
Reject : price trades above/into OB but closes back below it.
Breakout : close crosses above OB.
Hold/Confirm : close stays below OB for N consecutive bars (bear confirmation) or use breakout/hold logic for bull continuation.
Squeeze Anchor
When squeeze is ON, the script anchors a reference line from the first ON bar and holds it for the duration of the continuous squeeze run.
On squeeze release (OFF), you can interpret direction by where price closes relative to the anchor.
Slope Acceleration Markers
These markers highlight momentum inflection behavior derived from the internal regression/slope logic.
If you see fewer markers than another script, it usually means the underlying trend-gate and/or slope parameters differ (not that the feature is “missing”).
Settings — What they do and how changing them affects signals
1) Base Triggers
Controls the Base OS/OB detection layer.
Changing Base thresholds generally affects:
Frequency : looser = more lines; stricter = fewer lines
Quality : stricter = fewer but cleaner levels
Responsiveness : shorter lookbacks = faster reacting, more noise; longer = slower, smoother
2) Base Lines
Controls the Base OS/OB plotted appearance and segmentation length.
Segment length (forward bars): longer = level remains visible/valid longer; shorter = faster turnover and fewer active segments.
Line width : purely visual emphasis (does not change the underlying detection).
3) Refined Triggers
Controls the stricter confirmation layer (Refined OS/OB).
Refined triggers typically reduce false positives but may occur later than Base.
Use Refined when you want: “Only alert me on the higher-confidence pattern.”
4) Refined Colors + Widths
Color and width controls for Refined levels.
Recommended usage:
Keep Base slightly lighter/less prominent.
Make Refined more prominent so confirmations stand out.
5) Trend Context
Trend SMA length (default 62)
Shorter SMA = more sensitive trend context (more “below trend” flips).
Longer SMA = slower trend context (fewer flips, more stability).
Trend mode affects how some context cues render (for example, whether certain momentum markers appear in “below-trend” context).
6) Squeeze
Squeeze ON indicates compression conditions. The script plots a held anchor line during the ON run.
Per-bar render vs static
Per-bar render updates opacity per bar while squeeze is ON (based on your selected strength model).
Static render keeps the anchor appearance constant through the run.
Squeeze opacity model selection
Compression ratio : based on 1 − (BB width / KC width). Higher = tighter squeeze.
Z-score style : normalizes the BB/KC ratio over a lookback and maps extremes to opacity.
Duration boost : increases opacity with consecutive ON bars up to a cap.
Changing squeeze settings affects:
How early/late squeeze turns ON/OFF
How aggressively “tightness” is visually emphasized
How frequently bull/bear release alerts fire
7) Markers
OS/OB Start markers
Shows the first bar where an OS/OB segment begins (Base and/or Refined).
Useful for “N bars after start” logic and for validating what bar started a segment.
Alerts (built-in alertconditions)
Start alerts
OS Start (Any) — Base OR Refined start.
OB Start (Any) — Base OR Refined start.
Active line alerts (true while a line is plotted)
OS Active (Any line)
OB Active (Any line)
Price interaction alerts
OS Touch (Any)
OS Reclaim (Any) — close crosses above OS line
OS Bounce (Any) — low below OS line and close above
OS Breakdown (Any) — close crosses below OS line
OB Touch (Any)
OB Reject (Any) — price probes above/into OB and closes below
OB Breakout (Any) — close crosses above OB line
OB Breakdown (Any)
Within N bars after start alerts
Uses the setting: Within N bars after start (default 5).
OS Reclaim within N bars
OS Bounce within N bars
OS Breakdown within N bars
OB Reject within N bars
OB Breakout within N bars
OB Breakdown within N bars
Hold/Confirm alerts
OS Hold/Confirm (N closes above) — first bar where close stayed above OS for N consecutive bars.
OB Hold/Confirm (N closes below) — first bar where close stayed below OB for N consecutive bars.
SQZ lifecycle alerts
SQZ Start
SQZ Release
SQZ Bull Release — release bar close > SQZ anchor
SQZ Bear Release — release bar close < SQZ anchor
Suggested workflows
Bottom / bounce workflow
Watch: OS Start (Any) or OS Touch (Any)
Confirm: OS Reclaim within N bars + OS Hold/Confirm
Context: SQZ ON and/or SQZ Bull Release to time expansion
Top / rejection workflow
Watch: OB Start (Any) or OB Touch (Any)
Confirm: OB Reject within N bars (or OB Breakdown)
Context: SQZ Bear Release to time expansion lower
Notes
“Active line” alerts will be true on every bar while the line is present. For one-shot alerts, prefer the Start or Within-N-bar alerts.
If you change trend, slope, or squeeze parameters compared to a framework strategy script, you should expect differences in marker density and background behavior. The signal is highly parameter-dependent.
“Oversold/Overbought” levels are currently hardcoded, future version will open up configuration settings.
HaP MACDHaP MACD - Advanced DEMA Assisted Signal Indicator
Overview
The HaP MACD is an evolution of the classic MACD, designed for traders who demand faster response times and clearer trend visualisations. By integrating DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) logic into the standard MACD framework, this indicator filters out noise and highlights momentum shifts with a unique color-coded dot system.
How It Works
The indicator calculates two types of MACD: a standard one for the main lines and a DEMA-based one for signal generation. This dual approach ensures you stay in the trend while being alerted the moment the momentum starts to fade.
Visual Guide & Color Logic
The signal dots are placed directly on the MACD line to guide your decisions:
🔵 Blue Dot: The Entry Signal. Appears when DEMA conditions first align for a bullish move.
🟢 Green Dot: Strong Momentum. The trend is active and the MACD value is increasing.
🟠 Orange Dot: Warning Signal. The bullish trend is still active, but the momentum is slowing down (MACD is lower than the previous bar).
🔴 Red Dot: Exit Signal. The bullish condition has ended. It’s time to consider closing the position or tightening stops.
Key Features
Reduced Lag: DEMA integration provides earlier signals than standard EMA-based MACDs.
Trend Monitoring: Easily distinguish between a healthy trend (Green) and a tiring trend (Orange).
Customizable: Choose between EMA and SMA for both the oscillator and signal calculations.
Crossover Markers: Optional triangle markers for classic MACD crossovers (can be enabled in settings).
Vector Trinity indicator II: [Bottom: TTM Squeeze]**1. Introduction: The Engine of the System**
This indicator is **Part 2** of the "Vector Trinity" trading system. While Part I (Structure) defines *where* the price is, **Part II (Impulse)** defines *when* the move will happen and *how strong* it is.
It represents the **Time Dimension** of the system, focusing on momentum ignition and energy release.
* **I: Structure:** Spatial boundaries.
* **II: Impulse:** **Momentum velocity & Squeeze timing (Current Indicator).**
* **III: Flow:** Capital validation.
**2. Core Logic: Linear Regression Momentum**
Unlike standard momentum indicators (like MACD) which are based on Moving Averages and often lag significantly, **Vector Trinity II** utilizes **Linear Regression** on price deviations.
* **Math:** It calculates the distance between the price and the mean, then runs a linear regression to determine the angle of attack.
* **Benefit:** This provides a near-instantaneous reading of market "Velocity" and "Acceleration," reducing lag and allowing traders to see the turn before price fully commits.
**3. The "Squeeze" Mechanics (The Dots)**
The central line features dots that indicate the volatility state of the market:
* **🔴 Red Dot (Squeeze ON):** The Bollinger Bands have moved inside the Keltner Channels. Volatility is critically low. The market is storing energy like a compressed spring. **Action:** Wait. Do not trade yet.
* **🟢 Green Dot (Squeeze Fired):** The Bands have popped out of the Channels. The energy is releasing. **Action:** This is the "Ignition" signal. Look at the histogram color for direction.
**4. The 4-Color Momentum System**
The histogram bars are color-coded to tell the full story of the trend's lifecycle, not just direction:
* **Bullish Territory (Above 0):**
* **🟦 Cyan (Light Blue):** **Bullish Acceleration.** Buyers are aggressive. Momentum is increasing. (Best for entry).
* **🔷 Blue (Dark Blue):** **Bullish Deceleration.** Buyers are tired. Momentum is fading. (Prepare to take profit).
* **Bearish Territory (Below 0):**
* **🟥 Red:** **Bearish Acceleration.** Sellers are aggressive. Momentum is increasing. (Best for shorting).
* **🟨 Yellow:** **Bearish Deceleration.** Sellers are exhausted. Momentum is recovering towards zero. (Warning: Trend potential reversal).
**5. How to Use**
* **Step 1:** Look for **Red Dots** on the zero line. This identifies a high-potential setup building up.
* **Step 2:** Wait for the **First Green Dot**. This is the "Squeeze Fired" signal.
* **Step 3:** Confirm with the **Histogram Color**.
* If Green Dot + **Cyan Bar** = Long Signal.
* If Green Dot + **Red Bar** = Short Signal.
* **Advanced:** Use the **Yellow Bars** as an early warning to exit short positions before price actually reverses.
**Settings:**
* **Length:** 20 (Standard calculation period).
* **BB/KC Mult:** 2.0 / 1.5 (Standard ratios to define the Squeeze).
* **Smoothing:** Enabled (Default 3) to reduce noise and provide clearer color transitions.

### **中文说明**
**1. 简介：系统的核心引擎**
本指标是“矢量三位一体”交易系统的 **第二部分**。如果说第一部分 (Structure) 定义了价格*在哪里*，那么 **第二部分 (Impulse)** 则定义了行情*何时*启动以及力度*有多强*。
它代表了系统的 **时间维度**，专注于动能的点火与能量释放。
* **I: Structure 结构：** 空间边界。
* **II: Impulse 脉冲：** **动能速度与挤压时机（本指标）。**
* **III: Flow 流向：** 资金验证。
**2. 核心逻辑：线性回归动能**
传统的动能指标（如 MACD）通常基于移动平均线，存在显著的滞后性。**Vector Trinity II** 采用了基于价格偏离度的 **Linear Regression (线性回归)** 算法。
* **数学原理：** 它计算价格与均值的距离，并通过回归分析确定攻击的角度。
* **优势：** 这提供了几乎零滞后的市场“速度”与“加速度”读数，允许交易者在价格完全反转之前看到动能的拐点。
**3. “挤压”机制 (圆点信号)**
0轴上的圆点指示了市场的波动率状态：
* **🔴 红点 (Squeeze ON)：** 布林带完全进入了肯特纳通道内部。波动率极低。市场像被压缩的弹簧一样在积蓄能量。**操作：** 等待，不要急于进场。
* **🟢 绿点 (Squeeze Fired)：** 布林带扩张冲出通道。能量开始释放。**操作：** 这是“点火”信号。观察柱状图颜色以确定方向。
**4. 四色动能战术系统**
柱状图通过四种颜色讲述了趋势完整的生命周期，而不仅仅是涨跌：
* **多头区域 (0轴上方)：**
* **🟦 青色 (Cyan)：** **多头加速。** 买盘积极，动能增强。（最佳进场期）
* **🔷 蓝色 (Blue)：** **多头减速。** 买盘疲惫，动能衰减。（准备止盈）
* **空头区域 (0轴下方)：**
* **🟥 红色 (Red)：** **空头加速。** 卖盘积极，动能增强。（最佳做空期）
* **🟨 黄色 (Yellow)：** **空头减速。** 卖盘力竭，动能向0轴修复。（警告：趋势可能反转/抄底信号）
**5. 使用方法**
* **第一步：** 寻找0轴上的 **红点**。这标志着一个高爆发潜力的机会正在酝酿。
* **第二步：** 等待 **第一个绿点** 出现。这是“挤压释放/点火”的信号。
* **第三步：** 结合 **柱状图颜色** 确认。
* 绿点 + **青色柱** = 做多信号。
* 绿点 + **红色柱** = 做空信号。
* **进阶用法：** 利用 **黄色柱** 作为空单止盈的先行指标，往往在价格反弹之前，动能就已经变黄了。
**参数设置：**
* **Length (周期)：** 20 (标准计算周期)。
* **BB/KC Mult (倍数)：** 2.0 / 1.5 (定义挤压状态的标准比率)。
* **Smoothing (平滑)：** 开启 (默认3) 以减少噪音，提供更平滑的颜色转换体验。
Dual Momentum Confluence Oscillator MACD + RSIThis indicator is built around the **simultaneous use of two complementary momentum perspectives**, designed to be read **together**, not in isolation.
### Core purpose
* Highlight moments where **momentum agreement** or **momentum imbalance** becomes visually evident.
* Help distinguish between **healthy movement**, **loss of strength**, and **potential transition phases**.
### Combined reading approach
* One component focuses on **momentum flow and acceleration**, showing how force develops or fades.
* The other evaluates **relative pressure within recent price action**, adding context to whether momentum is stretched or still balanced.
* Signals are meant to be interpreted when **both perspectives are considered at the same time**, reinforcing or filtering each other.
### Practical use
* Particularly useful as a **confirmation layer** for directional strategies.
* Helps avoid decisions based on a single momentum measure by requiring **contextual alignment**.
* Can also support timing refinement in both continuation and pullback scenarios.
### Visual structure
* Everything is displayed in **one compact pane**, allowing quick cross-market scanning without overloading the chart.
* Visual contrast makes changes in momentum state easy to spot at a glance.
### Best conditions
* Most effective in markets with **clear participation and readable momentum shifts**.
* Less informative during flat, low-energy phases.
*For educational and analytical purposes only. Always test across multiple markets and timeframes.*

MACD Nexus Pro [OXE]MACD Nexus Pro
Institutional-Grade Momentum Intelligence System
Transform How You Read Market Momentum
Standard MACD indicators show you what happened. MACD Nexus Pro shows you what's about to happen.
Built for serious traders who demand more than basic crossovers, this indicator combines 8 proprietary analysis engines into one powerful momentum intelligence system. Whether you trade forex, crypto, stocks, or commodities — MACD Nexus Pro gives you the institutional edge.
What Makes This Different?
Most MACD indicators are stuck in the 1970s. They show you two lines, a histogram, and leave you guessing. MACD Nexus Pro was engineered from the ground up to answer the questions professional traders actually ask:
"Is this signal confirmed across multiple timeframes?"
"Is this momentum move real or a fake-out?"
"Are smart money players accumulating or distributing?"
"Is this trend exhausted or just getting started?"
Core Benefits for Traders
🎯 Eliminate False Signals with MTF Confluence
Stop getting chopped up by single-timeframe noise. The Multi-Timeframe Confluence Matrix scans 4 timeframes simultaneously and calculates a unified alignment score from -5 to +5.
How it helps you:
Only take trades when multiple timeframes agree
See instantly if higher timeframes support your entry
Avoid counter-trend trades that fail 80% of the time
Build confidence knowing the "big picture" backs your trade
📊 Know Your Market Regime Instantly
Markets behave differently in trending vs ranging conditions. The Regime Detection Engine automatically classifies current conditions as TRENDING, VOLATILE, RANGING, or NEUTRAL.
How it helps you:
Adjust your strategy to match market conditions
Avoid momentum trades in choppy, ranging markets
Capitalize on trending markets with confidence
Stop forcing trades when conditions don't favor your style
🔄 Catch Reversals Early with Smart Divergence Detection
Divergences signal potential reversals before they happen — but spotting them manually is tedious and error-prone. The Divergence Engine automatically detects both Regular and Hidden divergences, then rates their strength.
How it helps you:
Get early warning of trend exhaustion
Find high-probability reversal entries
Use Hidden divergences for trend continuation trades
Prioritize strong divergences (★★★★) over weak ones
🏦 Trade Alongside Smart Money
Institutional players leave footprints. The Smart Money Momentum Zones detect when volume-weighted momentum enters extreme territory — signaling potential accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) by large players.
How it helps you:
Identify where institutions are likely positioning
Buy in accumulation zones with smart money
Sell or short in distribution zones
Avoid buying into institutional selling
⚡ Distinguish Impulse Moves from Corrections
Not all momentum is created equal. The Impulse Wave Detection system identifies whether current momentum is an impulse (strong, directional) or a correction (weak, counter-trend).
How it helps you:
Enter on impulses, not corrections
Hold winners through corrections without panic
Recognize when a trend is resuming
Time entries at the start of new momentum waves
📍 Never Miss True Equilibrium
Static zero lines are outdated. The Dynamic Zero Line adapts to the market's true momentum equilibrium, shifting based on long-term bias.
How it helps you:
Understand the market's real neutral point
Recognize bullish/bearish bias at a glance
Better time zero-line crossover trades
Filter signals based on positioning above/below equilibrium
⚠️ Get Warned Before Momentum Dies
Chasing extended moves is how traders lose money. The Momentum Exhaustion Detector calculates the thrust-to-follow-through ratio and warns you when momentum is overextended.
How it helps you:
Avoid late entries into tired trends
Take profits before reversals hit
Spot when bulls/bears are running out of steam
Stay patient for better entries after exhaustion
🌈 Read Momentum Strength at a Glance
The Gradient Histogram Heatmap shows momentum acceleration through color intensity — brighter colors mean momentum is building, faded colors mean it's dying.
How it helps you:
Instantly see if momentum is accelerating or fading
Confirm breakouts with strengthening momentum
Spot weakening moves before price confirms
Make faster decisions with visual clarity
The Signal System You Can Trust
Every buy/sell signal comes with a Star Rating (★ to ★★★★★) based on:
Multi-timeframe alignment
Position relative to dynamic zero
Market regime confirmation
Volume confirmation
Exhaustion status
Choose your signal mode:
Standard: Classic MACD crossovers

MACD Crossover Shadow Fill: The area between the MACD line and the Signal line is filled with a customizable shadow. This instantly visualizes whether the MACD is above (bullish crossover) or below (bearish crossover) the Signal line.
Signal Crossover Markers (Arrows & Dots):
Crossover Dot: A small, configurable solid dot is plotted exactly at the point where the MACD and Signal lines intersect, providing pinpoint accuracy for the crossover event.
Crossover Arrows: Customizable up (green) and down (red) arrows are plotted using a small numerical offset from the crossover point, ensuring visibility without cluttering the indicator lines.
Zero-Line Crossing Markers: Distinct, small markers (circles/diamonds) are used to signal when the MACD line crosses the zero line, indicating a shift in momentum relative to the baseline.
Customizable MA Type: The user can select either Exponential Moving Average (EMA) or Simple Moving Average (SMA) for both the MACD oscillator calculation and the signal line calculation.
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on MACD crossovers and require precise, configurable visual feedback directly on the chart.
KSL-Fullsystem V2.0Trend Following & Reversal Trading System. It combines **Price Action (Market Structure)** with multiple technical indicators to generate high-quality Buy and Sell signals.
---
1. How Signals are Generated (The Core Logic)
The script uses **"Internal Shifts"** (Market Structure Breaks) to find entry points.
* BUY Signal: The price breaks above a previous bearish structure (Higher High) + All enabled filters are Green.
* SELL Signal: The price breaks below a previous bullish structure (Lower Low) + All enabled filters are Red.
When a signal occurs, the script automatically calculates:
* Stop Loss (SL): Based on the recent Swing High/Low.
* Take Profit (TP): Three levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) based on risk-reward ratios (1.5x, 2.0x, 3.0x).
---
2. The Filters (Your Confirmation Checklist)
You can turn these On/Off in the settings. **Note:** If you turn *all* of them on, you might get very few signals because the conditions become too strict.
**A. Bollinger Bands (BB) Filters (Primary Feature)**
This is the main filter for this version.
* Squeeze Filter: Prevents trading when the bands are too narrow (low volatility). If the background turns **Yellow**, it means the market is "Squeezing" – **Do Not Trade.**
* Touch Entry: Looks for price bouncing off the Lower Band (Buy) or Upper Band (Sell).
* Breakout Entry: Looks for price blasting through the bands.
* Mean Reversion: Checks if price is reverting to the middle line (Basis).
**B. Moving Average Filters (Trend)**
The script includes three types of Moving Averages. You can choose which style suits you:
* EMA (Exponential): Fast-reacting. Good for scalping.
* SMA (Simple): Standard trend lines. Good for position trading.
* LWMA (Linear Weighted): Focuses heavily on recent data.
* Configuration: You can select specific setups like "Scalping" (9/21/50 EMA) or "Trend" (50/200 EMA).
**C. Momentum Filters**
* MACD: Checks momentum. You can choose settings for Scalping, Day Trading, or Swing Trading.
* AO (Awesome Oscillator) & AC: Helps confirm if the momentum is strong enough to support the trend.
---
**3. Visual Guide: What You See on the Chart**
* Green Box: A Buy Zone (Demand).
* Red Box: A Sell Zone (Supply).
* Labels (Text): Shows "BUY" or "SELL" with exact prices for TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL.
* Blue Lines: The Bollinger Bands (Upper and Lower).
* Orange Line: The Bollinger Band Basis (Middle).
* Small Triangles:
* Green Triangle (Below Bar): Price touched the Lower Bollinger Band.
* Red Triangle (Above Bar): Price touched the Upper Bollinger Band.
* Yellow Background: **WARNING.** The market has low volume/volatility (BB Squeeze). Wait for a breakout.
---
4. How to Use This Script
1. Select Your Style: Go to the Settings (Inputs).
* If you are a **Scalper**, turn on "Scalping EMA" or "Scalping MACD".
* If you are a **Swing Trader**, turn on "Swing SMA" or "Trend EMA".
2. Configure Bollinger Bands: Keep `Use Bollinger Bands Filter` checked. Decide if you want to trade "Squeezes" (usually safer to avoid them).
3. Wait for the Label: Do not enter blindly. Wait for the script to print a **BUY** or **SELL** label with the TP/SL targets.
4. Check the Background: If the background is **Yellow**, ignore the signal or wait until the color clears.
5. Manage Risk: Place your Stop Loss at the price shown on the label ("SL").
VWAP-Anchored MACD [BOSWaves]VWAP-Anchored MACD - Volume-Weighted Momentum Mapping With Zero-Line Filtering
Overview
The VWAP-Anchored MACD delivers a refined momentum model built on volume-weighted price rather than raw closes, giving you a more grounded view of trend strength during sessions, weeks, or months.
Instead of tracking two EMAs of price like a standard MACD, this tool reconstructs the MACD engine using anchored VWAP as the core input. The result is a momentum structure that reacts to real liquidity flow, filters out weak crossovers near the zero line, and visualizes acceleration shifts with clear, high-contrast gradients.
This indicator acts as a precise momentum map that adapts in real time. You see how weighted price is accelerating, where valid crossovers form, and when trend conviction is strong enough to justify execution.
It uses gradient line coloring to show bullish or bearish momentum, histogram shading to highlight energy shifts, cross dots to mark valid crossovers, optional buy/sell diamonds for execution cues, and candle coloring to display trend strength at a glance.
Theoretical Foundation
Traditional MACD compares the difference between two exponential moving averages of price.
This variant replaces price with anchored VWAP, making the calculation sensitive to actual traded volume across your chosen period (Session, Week, or Month).
Three principles drive the logic:
Anchored VWAP Momentum : Price is weighted by volume and aggregated across the selected anchor. The fast and slow VWAP-EMAs then expose how liquidity-corrected momentum is expanding or contracting.
Zero-Line Distance Filtering : Crossover signals that occur too close to the zero line are removed. This eliminates the common MACD problem of generating weak, directionless signals in choppy phases.
Directional Visualization : MACD line, signal line, histogram, candle colors, and optional diamond markers all react to shifts in VWAP-momentum, giving you a clean structural read on market pressure.
Anchoring VWAP to session, weekly, or monthly resets creates a systematic framework for tracking how capital flow is driving momentum throughout each trading cycle.
How It Works
The core engine processes momentum through several mapped layers:
VWAP Aggregation : Price × volume is accumulated until the anchor resets. This creates a continuous, liquidity-corrected VWAP curve.
MACD Construction : Fast and slow VWAP-EMAs define the MACD line, while a smoothed signal line identifies edges where momentum shifts.
Zero-Line Distance Filter : MACD and signal must both exceed a threshold distance from zero for a crossover to count as valid. This prevents fake crossovers during compression.
Visual Momentum Layers : It uses gradient line coloring to show bullish or bearish momentum, histogram shading to highlight energy shifts, cross dots to mark valid crossovers, optional buy/sell diamonds for execution cues, and candle coloring to display trend strength at a glance.
This layered structure ensures you always know whether momentum is strengthening, fading, or transitioning.
Interpretation
You get a clean, structural understanding of VWAP-based momentum:
Bullish Phases : MACD > Signal, histogram expands, candles turn bullish, and crossovers occur above the threshold.
Bearish Phases : MACD < Signal, histogram drives lower, candles shift bearish, and downward crossovers trigger below the threshold.
Neutral/Compression : Both lines remain near the zero boundary, histogram flattens, and signals are suppressed to avoid noise.
This creates a more disciplined version of MACD momentum reading - less noise, more conviction, and better alignment with liquidity.
Strategy Integration
Trend Continuation : Use VWAP-MACD crossovers that occur far from the zero line as higher-conviction entries.
Zero-Line Rejection : Watch for histogram contractions near zero to anticipate flattening momentum and potential reversal setups.
Session/Week/Month Anchors : Session anchor works best for intraday flows. Weekly or monthly anchor structures create cleaner macro momentum reads for swing trading.
Signal-Only Execution : Optional buy/sell diamonds give you direct points to trigger trades without overanalyzing the chart.
This indicator slots cleanly into any momentum-following system and offers higher signal quality than classic MACD variants due to the volume-weighted core.
Technical Implementation Details
VWAP Reset Logic : Session (D), Week (W), or Month (M)
Dynamic Fast/Slow VWAP EMAs : Fully configurable lengths, smoothing and anchor settings
MACD/Signal Line Framework : Traditional structure with volume-anchored input
Zero-Line Filtering : Adjustable threshold for structural confirmation
Dual Visualization Layers : MACD body + histogram + crosses + candle coloring
Optimized Performance : Lightweight, fast rendering across all timeframes
Optimal Application Parameters

Slow Length : 26
Signal Length : 9
Zero Threshold : 200 - 500 depending on asset range
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Assets with strong intraday or session-based volume cycles
Markets where volume-weighted momentum leads price swings
Trend environments with strong acceleration
Reduced Effectiveness:
Ultra-choppy markets hugging the VWAP axis
Sessions with abnormally low volume
Ranges where MACD naturally compresses
Disclaimer
The VWAP-Anchored MACD is a structural momentum tool designed to enhance directional clarity - not a guaranteed predictor. Performance depends on market regime, volatility, and disciplined execution. Use it alongside broader trend, volume, and structural analysis for optimal results.

FTPM - Institutional Trend Pressure Suite @darshaksscThis indicator provides an informational view of market trend pressure using fractal-based momentum events, smoothed pressure calculations, higher timeframe confirmation, and divergence analysis. It does not produce buy or sell signals. Instead, it presents market context to help traders interpret trend conditions in a structured and data-driven way.
The indicator includes the following components:
1). Non-repainting Trend Pressure Engine
The pressure line is derived from confirmed fractal events, body-to-range ratios, displacement strength, and a controlled decay factor. The value is normalized to a 0 to 100 scale. A rising pressure value suggests increasing trend strength, while a declining value indicates weakening strength. This is informational only.
2). Pressure Shifts
The tool highlights transitions where pressure crosses above or below key thresholds. These labels do not represent entries or exits, but simply indicate contextual changes in momentum.
3). Higher Timeframe Pressure Confirmation
Users can compare current timeframe pressure to a selected higher timeframe. When both pressures align in similar regions, it may indicate agreement in broader market structure. This feature is informational only and does not generate trading signals.
4). Divergence Detection
Identifies confirmed bullish or bearish divergences between price pivots and pressure pivots. Divergences are simply analytical tools and should not be interpreted as actionable trading signals.
5). Institutional Dashboard
A multi-line dashboard summarizes current pressure, regime classification, higher timeframe regime, pressure direction, divergence status, and alignment conditions. The dashboard is informational only. No part of the dashboard should be interpreted as a trade instruction.
6). Dashboard Size Selector
Users may switch between Full, Medium, or Thin dashboard layouts to match their screen preferences. This affects only display, not indicator logic.
Important Notes
This indicator does not forecast future price movement.
It does not generate buy, sell, long, or short signals.
It does not guarantee profitable outcomes.
It is intended purely for visual analysis and market context.
All information is derived from confirmed historical data.
No part of this script is designed to automate trading decisions.
This tool is suitable for traders who want a clear, non-repainting visualization of pressure conditions and structural behavior without violating TradingView House Rules.
======================================================================
HOW TO USE
The indicator helps traders observe whether pressure is increasing or decreasing, whether higher timeframe conditions agree with the current chart, and whether divergences are present. All outputs are informational and should be combined with the user's preferred strategy or manual analysis. The indicator is not intended to signal trades or provide recommendations.
======================================================================
DISCLAIMERS
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.
It does not constitute financial advice.
It does not provide buy, sell, long, or short signals.
It does not predict future price movement.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
======================================================================
KENW Liq Sweep 17This indicator is designed to alert on potential liquidity sweep events:
- In uptrends, it tracks Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) by marking swing lows that occur during negative MACD histogram periods. It generates a long entry alert when price makes a lower low in SSL (i.e., the most recent SSL level is below the prior one), suggesting a sweep of sell-side liquidity before a potential bullish continuation.
- In downtrends, it tracks Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) by marking swing highs that occur during positive MACD histogram periods. It generates a short entry alert when price makes a higher high in BSL (i.e., the most recent BSL level is above the prior one), indicating a sweep of buy-side liquidity before a potential bearish continuation.

Nova Trades | Opening Range IndicatorNova Trades | Opening Range With Confluences
Overview
The Nova Trades ORB Simple indicator is a clean, educational implementation of Opening Range Breakout (ORB) methodology combined with Exponential Moving Average (EMA) trend filtering. This script is designed to help traders visualize market structure during the critical opening session and identify high-probability breakout opportunities.
What Makes This Implementation Unique
1. Real-Time Dynamic ORB Tracking
Unlike static ORB indicators that plot fixed levels, this script:
Updates ORB high/low levels in real-time during the opening range period
Dynamically adjusts line positions as new highs/lows form within the ORB window
Uses line.set_y1() and line.set_y2() to provide smooth, live updates without cluttering the chart
Automatically extends ORB levels into the future for easy visual reference
2. Integrated Status Dashboard
The script includes a comprehensive real-time status table that shows:
Current ORB period status (ACTIVE vs COMPLETE)
Calculated ORB range size (useful for volatility assessment)
Current price position relative to ORB levels (ABOVE/BELOW/INSIDE)
Price position relative to EMA (trend context)
First breakout direction detection (BULLISH/BEARISH/PENDING)
This dashboard eliminates the need to manually assess market conditions and provides instant decision-making information.
3. Breakout Detection Logic
The script employs a first-breakout-only tracking system that:
Waits for the ORB period to complete before flagging breakouts
Records only the first directional break after ORB completion
Prevents false signals from intraday price whipsaws
Maintains breakout status throughout the trading session for consistency
4. EMA Confluence Filter
While many ORB scripts exist and EMA is a standard indicator, this script's value lies in how they work together:
Trading Edge: The combination provides a two-factor confirmation system:
ORB Breakout = Short-term momentum shift (microstructure)
EMA Position = Intermediate trend alignment (macrostructure)
Why This Matters:
ORB breakouts above ORB high + price above EMA = Aligned bullish momentum (highest probability long setups)
ORB breakouts below ORB low + price below EMA = Aligned bearish momentum (highest probability short setups)
Conflicting signals (e.g., ORB breakout up but price below EMA) = Lower probability, potential reversal zones
5. Customizable Time Periods
Supports multiple ORB timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 45m, 60m) because:
Different securities have different volatility profiles
Intraday traders may prefer shorter ORB periods (5-15m)
Position traders may prefer longer ORB periods (45-60m)
Allows optimization for specific trading styles and instruments
6. Clean Visual Design
Market open line clearly marks session start
Color-coded ORB levels (customizable) for instant visual recognition
Minimal chart clutter with toggle options for each component
Data window plots for programmatic strategy access
How It Works
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Calculation
Initialization: At 9:30 AM NY time (market open), the script begins tracking
Range Formation: During the selected timeframe (default 30 minutes):
Continuously updates the highest high → ORB High
Continuously updates the lowest low → ORB Low
Range Completion: After the ORB period ends, levels are locked
Breakout Detection: Price breaking above ORB High (bullish) or below ORB Low (bearish) triggers the breakout flag
EMA Trend Filter
Calculates exponential moving average (default 50-period, customizable 1-500)
Provides trend context: Price > EMA = uptrend, Price < EMA = downtrend
Acts as dynamic support/resistance level
Combined Strategy Logic
Why Open Source?
This script is published as open source to:
Provide educational value to the trading community
Demonstrate clean coding practices for ORB implementations
Allow traders to customize and adapt to their specific needs
Serve as a foundation for more complex strategy development
The code uses standard Pine Script functions (ta.ema(), line.new(), table.new()) intentionally to maintain transparency and educational value.

MACD Momentum Structure & Volume Profile Sniper [MTF]**Description and Methodology**
This script offers a unique approach to Market Structure by moving away from traditional fractal-based highs and lows (which can be noisy). Instead, it utilizes **MACD Momentum Swings** to identify significant structural points, combined with an automated Fixed Range Volume Profile to pinpoint high-probability entry zones.
**1. Why MACD Structure? (The Core Concept)**
Traditional "ZigZag" or Fractal indicators rely solely on price action, often leading to fake-outs during low-volume consolidation.
* This script defines a "Swing High" only when the MACD Histogram crosses below zero (Momentum shifts Bearish).
* This script defines a "Swing Low" only when MACD crosses above zero (Momentum shifts Bullish).
By linking structure to momentum, we filter out weak price movements and focus on the true "heartbeat" of the trend.
**2. The "Mashup" Synergy: Structure + Volume + Logic**
This is not a random combination of indicators. Each component serves a specific step in the trading execution sequence:
* **Step 1 (Structure):** The script identifies a Change of Character (CHoCH) based on the MACD peaks described above.
* **Step 2 (Liquidity/Value):** When a CHoCH occurs, the script *automatically* draws a **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)** specifically covering the impulse leg that caused the break. This reveals the "Point of Control" (POC)—the hidden price level where the most volume occurred during the move.
* **Step 3 (The Sniper Entry):** The script creates a "Zone" around that POC. It then waits for Price to retrace into this zone.
* **Step 4 (Confirmation):** Once the zone is touched, the script monitors a lower timeframe (User selectable, default M1) for a fresh MACD crossover to trigger the final entry signal.
**Features**
* **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard:** Monitor the MACD Trend direction across 4 different timeframes simultaneously.
* **Dynamic Trendlines:** Automatically connects confirmed MACD peaks to visualize trend integrity.
* **Fibo Time Zones:** Projects potential future pivot points based on the duration of the previous swing.
* **Alert System:** Integrated alerts for Zone Touches and "Sniper" entries (Zone Touch + LTF Momentum Confirmation).
**How to Use**
1. **Identify Trend:** Look for the CHoCH labels. Green indicates a shift to Bullish, Red to Bearish.
2. **Wait for Pullback:** Do not chase the break. Wait for price to return to the Yellow POC Zone generated by the Volume Profile.
3. **Entry Trigger:** Watch for the "BUY" or "SELL" marks. These appear only when price hits the zone AND the lower-timeframe momentum aligns with the trade direction.
**Settings & Inputs**
* **Global MACD:** Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection (Default 12, 26, 9).
* **Sniper Entry:** Select the timeframe used for the final confirmation (e.g., use M1 confirmation for an H1 chart structure).
* **VP Settings:** Customize how the Volume Profile looks on the chart.

MACD Forecast Colorful [DiFlip]MACD Forecast Colorful
The Future of Predictive MACD — is one of the most advanced and customizable MACD indicators ever published on TradingView. Built on the classic MACD foundation, this upgraded version integrates statistical forecasting through linear regression to anticipate future movements — not just react to the past.
With a total of 22 fully configurable long and short entry conditions, visual enhancements, and full automation support, this indicator is designed for serious traders seeking an analytical edge.
⯁ Real-Time MACD Forecasting
For the first time, a public MACD script combines the classic structure of MACD with predictive analytics powered by linear regression. Instead of simply responding to current values, this tool projects the MACD line, signal line, and histogram n bars into the future, allowing you to trade with foresight rather than hindsight.
⯁ Fully Customizable
This indicator is built for flexibility. It includes 22 entry conditions, all of which are fully configurable. Each condition can be turned on/off, chained using AND/OR logic, and adapted to your trading model.
Whether you're building a rules-based quant system, automating alerts, or refining discretionary signals, MACD Forecast Colorful gives you full control over how signals are generated, displayed, and triggered.
⯁ With MACD Forecast Colorful, you can:
• Detect MACD crossovers before they happen.
• Anticipate trend reversals with greater precision.
• React earlier than traditional indicators.
• Gain a powerful edge in both discretionary and automated strategies.
• This isn’t just smarter MACD — it’s predictive momentum intelligence.
⯁ Scientifically Powered by Linear Regression
MACD Forecast Colorful is the first public MACD indicator to apply least-squares predictive modeling to MACD behavior — effectively introducing machine learning logic into a time-tested tool.
It uses statistical regression to analyze historical behavior of the MACD and project future trajectories. The result is a forward-shifted MACD forecast that can detect upcoming crossovers and divergences before they appear on the chart.
⯁ Linear Regression: Technical Foundation
Linear regression is a statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable (y) and one or more independent variables (x). The basic formula for simple linear regression is:
y = β₀ + β₁x + ε
Where:
y = predicted variable (e.g., future MACD value)
x = independent variable (e.g., bar index)
β₀ = intercept
β₁ = slope
ε = random error (residual)
The regression model calculates β₀ and β₁ using the least squares method, minimizing the sum of squared prediction errors to produce the best-fit line through historical values. This line is then extended forward, generating a forecast based on recent price momentum.
⯁ Least Squares Estimation
The regression coefficients are computed with the following formulas:
β₁ = Σ((xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ)) / Σ((xᵢ - x̄)²)
β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Where:
Σ denotes summation; x̄ and ȳ are the means of x and y; and i ranges from 1 to n (number of observations). These equations produce the best linear unbiased estimator under the Gauss–Markov assumptions — constant variance (homoscedasticity) and a linear relationship between variables.
⯁ Regression in Machine Learning
Linear regression is a foundational model in supervised learning. Its ability to provide precise, explainable, and fast forecasts makes it critical in AI systems and quantitative analysis.
Applying linear regression to MACD forecasting is the equivalent of injecting artificial intelligence into one of the most widely used momentum tools in trading.
⯁ Visual Interpretation
Picture the MACD values over time like this:
Time →
MACD →
A regression line is fitted to recent MACD values, then projected forward n periods. The result is a predictive trajectory that can cross over the real MACD or signal line — offering an early-warning system for trend shifts and momentum changes.
The indicator plots both current MACD and forecasted MACD, allowing you to visually compare short-term future behavior against historical movement.
⯁ Scientific Concepts Used
Linear Regression: models the relationship between variables using a straight line.
Least Squares Method: minimizes squared prediction errors for best-fit.
Time-Series Forecasting: projects future data based on past patterns.
Supervised Learning: predictive modeling using labeled inputs.
Statistical Smoothing: filters noise to highlight trends.
⯁ Why This Indicator Is Revolutionary
First open-source MACD with real-time predictive modeling.
Scientifically grounded with linear regression logic.
Automatable through TradingView alerts and bots.
Smart signal generation using forecasted crossovers.
Highly customizable with 22 buy/sell conditions.
Enhanced visuals with background (bgcolor) and area fill (fill) support.
This isn’t just an update — it’s the next evolution of MACD forecasting.
⯁ Example of simple linear regression with one independent variable
This example demonstrates how a basic linear regression works when there is only one independent variable influencing the dependent variable. This type of model is used to identify a direct relationship between two variables.
⯁ In linear regression, observations (red) are considered the result of random deviations (green) from an underlying relationship (blue) between a dependent variable (y) and an independent variable (x)
This concept illustrates that sampled data points rarely align perfectly with the true trend line. Instead, each observed point represents the combination of the true underlying relationship and a random error component.
⯁ Visualizing heteroscedasticity in a scatterplot with 100 random fitted values using Matlab
Heteroscedasticity occurs when the variance of the errors is not constant across the range of fitted values. This visualization highlights how the spread of data can change unpredictably, which is an important factor in evaluating the validity of regression models.
⯁ The datasets in Anscombe’s quartet were designed to have nearly the same linear regression line (as well as nearly identical means, standard deviations, and correlations) but look very different when plotted
This classic example shows that summary statistics alone can be misleading. Even with identical numerical metrics, the datasets display completely different patterns, emphasizing the importance of visual inspection when interpreting a model.
⯁ Result of fitting a set of data points with a quadratic function
This example illustrates how a second-degree polynomial model can better fit certain datasets that do not follow a linear trend. The resulting curve reflects the true shape of the data more accurately than a straight line.
⯁ What is the MACD?
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel. It measures the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price to identify changes in momentum, direction, and strength of a trend. The MACD is composed of three components: the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
⯁ How to use the MACD?
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, called the signal line, is then plotted on top of the MACD line. The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Here are the primary signals generated by the MACD:
• Bullish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential buy signal.
• Bearish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential sell signal.
• Divergence: When the price of the security diverges from the MACD, suggesting a potential reversal.
• Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Indicated by the MACD line moving far away from the signal line, though this is less common than in oscillators like the RSI.
⯁ How to use MACD forecast?
The MACD Forecast is built on the same foundation as the classic MACD, but with predictive capabilities.
Step 1 — Spot Predicted Crossovers:
Watch for forecasted bullish or bearish crossovers. These signals anticipate when the MACD line will cross the signal line in the future, letting you prepare trades before the move.
Step 2 — Confirm with Histogram Projection:
Use the projected histogram to validate momentum direction. A rising histogram signals strengthening bullish momentum, while a falling projection points to weakening or bearish conditions.
Step 3 — Combine with Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Use forecasts across multiple timeframes to confirm signal strength (e.g., a 1h forecast aligned with a 4h forecast).
Step 4 — Set Entry Conditions & Automation:
Customize your buy/sell rules with the 20 forecast-based conditions and enable automation for bots or alerts.
Step 5 — Trade Ahead of the Market:
By preparing for future momentum shifts instead of reacting to the past, you’ll always stay one step ahead of lagging traders.
