Moving Average Crossover Swing StrategyMoving Average Crossover Swing Strategy
**Overview:**
The basic concept of this strategy is to generate a signal when a faster/shorter length moving average crosses over (for Longs) or crosses under (for Shorts) a medium/longer length moving average. All of which are customizable. This strategy can work on any timeframe, however the daily is the timeframe used for the default settings and screenshots, as it was designed to be a multi-day swing strategy. Once a signal has been confirmed with a candle close, based on user options, the strategy will enter the trade on the open of the next candle.
The crossover strategy is nothing new to trading, but what can make this strategy unique and helpful, is the addition of further confirmation points, ATR based stop loss and take profit targets, optional early exit criteria, customizable to your needs and style, and just about everything visual can be toggled on/off. This strategy is based on a Trend (MA) indicator and a Momentum (MACD) indicator. While a Volume-based indicator is not shown here, one could consider using their favorite from that category to further compliment the signal idea.
It should be noted that depending on the time frame, direction(s) chosen, the signal options, confirmation options, and exit options selected, that a ticker may not produce more than 100 trades on the back test. Depending on your style and frequency, one could consider adjusting options and/or testing multiple tickers. It should also be noted that this strategy simply tests the underlying stock prices, not options contracts. And of course, testing this strategy against historical data does not assume that the same results will occur in future price action.
Shoutout given to Ripster's Clouds Indicator as pieces of that code were taken and modified to create both the Cloud visualization effects, and the Moving Average Pair Plots that are implemented in this strategy.
BASIC DEFAULTS
All can be changed as normal
Initial capital = 10,000
Order Sizing = 25% of equity (use the "Inputs" tab to modify this)
Pyramiding = 0
Commission = 0.65 USD per order
Price Verification = 1 tick
Slippage = 1 tick
RISK MANAGMENT
You will notice two different percentage options and ATR multipliers. This strategy will adjust position sizing by not exceeding either one of those % values based on the ATR (Average True Range) of the symbol and the multipliers selected, should the stock hit the stop loss price.
For Example, lets assume these values are true:
Account size = $10,000,
Max Risk = 1% of account size
Max Position Size = 25% of the account size
Stock Price = 23.45
ATR = 3.5
ATR Stop Loss Multiplier = 1.4
Then the formulas would be:
ACCT_SIZE * MaxRisk_% = 10000 * .01 = $100 (MaxCashRisk)
-----
MaxCashRisk / (ATR * ATR_SL_MULTIPLIER) = 100 / (3.5 * 1.4) = 20.4 Shares based on Max Cash Risk
-----
(ACCT_SIZE * MaxEquity_%) / STOCK_PRICE = (10000 * .25) / 23.45 = 106.61 Shares based on Max Equity Allocation
The minimum value of each of those options is then used, which in this case would be to purchase 20 shares so as not to exceed the max dollar risk should the stock reach the stop loss target. Likewise, if the ATR were to be much lower, say 0.48 cents, and all else the same, then the strategy would purchase the 106 shares based on Max Equity Allocation because the Max Cash Risk would require 149.25 shares.
MOVING AVERAGE OPTIONS
Select between and change the length & type of up to 5 pairs (10 total) of moving averages
The "Show Cloud-x" option will display a fill color between the "a" and "b" pairs
All moving averages lines can be toggled on/off in the "Style" tab, as well as adjusting their colors.
Visualization features do not affect calculations, meaning you could have all or nothing on the chart and the strategy will still produce results
SIGNAL CHOICES
Choose the fast/shorter length MA and the medium/longer length MA to determine the entry signal
CONFIRMATION OPTIONS
Both of these have customizable values and can be toggled on/off
A candle close over a slower/much longer length moving average
An additional cross-over (cross-under for Shorts) on the MACD indicator using default MACD values. While the MACD indicator is not necessary to have on the chart, it can help to add that for visualization. The calculations will perform whether the indicator is on the chart or not.
EARLY EXIT CRITERIA
Both can be toggled on/off with customizable values
MA Cross Exit will exit the trade early if the select moving averages cross-under (for longs) or cross-over (for shorts), indicating a potential reversal.
Max Bars in Trades will act as a last-resort exit by simply calculating the amount of full bars the trade has been open, and exiting on the opening of the next bar. For example: the default value is 8 bars, so after 8 full bars in the trade, if no other exit has been triggered (Stop Loss, Take Profit, or MA Cross(if enabled)), then the trade will exit at the opening of the 9th bar.
Finally, there is a table displaying the amount of trades taken for each side, and the amount & percent of both early exits. This table can be turned off in the "Style" tab
ADDITIONAL PLOTS
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence):
- The MACD is an optional confirmation indicator for this strategy.
- Plotting the indicator is not necessary for the strategy to work, but it can be helpful to visually see the status and position of the MACD if this feature is enabled in the strategy
- This helps to identify if there is also momentum behind the entry signal
K-macd
Biquad MACDThis indicator reimagines the traditional MACD by incorporating a biquad band pass filter, offering a refined approach to identifying momentum and trend changes in price data. The standard MACD is essentially a band pass filter, but often it lacks precision. The biquad band pass filter addresses this limitation by providing a more focused frequency range, enhancing the quality of signals.
The MACD Length parameter determines the length of the band pass filter, influencing the frequency range that is isolated. Adjusting this length allows you to focus on different parts of the price movement spectrum.
The Bandwidth (BW) setting controls the width of the frequency band in octaves. It affects the smoothness of the MACD line. A larger bandwidth results in less smooth output, capturing a broader range of frequencies, while a smaller bandwidth focuses on a narrower range, providing a smoother signal.
The Signal Length parameter sets the period for the exponential moving average of the MACD line, which acts as a signal line to identify potential buy and sell points.
Key Features of the Biquad MACD
The MACD is a well-known momentum indicator used to identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. By applying a biquad band pass filter, this version of the MACD provides a more refined and accurate representation of price movements.
The biquad filter offers smooth response and minimal phase distortion, making it ideal for technical analysis. The customizable MACD length and bandwidth allow for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and market conditions. The signal line smooths the MACD values, providing clear crossover points to indicate potential market entry and exit signals.
The histogram visually represents the difference between the MACD and the signal line, changing colors to indicate rising or falling momentum, which helps in quickly identifying trend changes.
By incorporating the Biquad MACD into your trading toolkit, you can enhance your chart analysis with clearer insights into momentum and trend changes, leading to more informed trading decisions.

🔶 Filtered MACD : Understanding How Filters Work with ADX and MA
ADX Filter:
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend. The script calculates ADX using the user-defined length and applies a threshold value.
Trading Signals with ADX Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal (crossover of MACD line above the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the set threshold. This suggests a stronger uptrend to potentially capitalize on.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal (crossunder of MACD line below the signal line) is only considered valid if the ADX is above the threshold, indicating a stronger downtrend for potential shorting opportunities.
Benefits: The ADX filter helps avoid whipsaws or false signals that might occur during choppy market conditions with weak trends.
MA Filter:
You can choose from various Moving Average (MA) types (EMA, SMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA) for the filter. The script calculates the chosen MA based on the user-defined length.
Trading Signals with MA Filter:
Buy Signal: A regular MACD buy signal is only considered valid if the closing price is above the MA value. This suggests a potential uptrend confirmed by the price action staying above the moving average.
Sell Signal: Conversely, a regular MACD sell signal is only considered valid if the closing price is below the MA value. This suggests a potential downtrend confirmed by the price action staying below the moving average.
Benefits: The MA filter helps identify potential trend continuation opportunities by ensuring the price aligns with the chosen moving average direction.
Combining Filters:
You can choose to use either the ADX filter, the MA filter, or both depending on your strategy preference. Using both filters adds an extra layer of confirmation for your signals.
🔶 Backtesting Module
The backtesting module in this script allows you to visually assess how the filtered MACD strategy would have performed on historical data. Here's a deeper dive into its features:
Backtesting Type: You can choose to backtest for buy signals only, sell signals only, or both. This allows you to analyze the strategy's effectiveness in different market conditions.
Stop-Loss Types: You can define how stop-loss orders are placed:
ATR (Average True Range): This uses a volatility measure (ATR) multiplied by a user-defined factor to set the stop-loss level.
Fixed Point: This allows you to specify a fixed dollar amount or percentage value as the stop-loss.
X bar High/Low: This sets the stop-loss at a certain number of bars (defined by the user) above/below the bar's high (for long positions) or low (for short positions).
Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Define the desired ratio between your potential profit and potential loss on each trade. The backtesting module will calculate take-profit levels based on this ratio and the stop-loss placement.

2 MA Cross Cvg Dvg Slope Overview
This indicator combines the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and two Moving Averages (MAs) to assess market momentum and trend direction. It aims to provide insights into the strength and direction of price movements by analyzing the MACD line, MAs slopes, and MA crossovers. Instead of eyeballing the exact MA crossovers and MAs slope steepness on the chart and MACD line changes on separate panes, this indicator pixelate the overloaded information or multiple indicators interpretation into a KISS "boolean" decision making.
Key Components
MACD Line
This line represents the difference between the fast MA and slow MA. It reflects short-term price momentum relative to the long-term trend.
Moving Averages (MAs)
Two types of MAs are utilized in this indicator:
Fast MA (short-term): Often a 9-period MA or similar, which reacts quickly to price changes.
Slow MA (long-term): Typically a 21-period MA or similar, which smooths out price fluctuations and identifies the longer-term trend.
Indicator Logic
MA Crossover: The crossover of the fast MA above the slow MA suggests a bullish trend, while a crossover below indicates a bearish trend.
MA Slope Analysis: The indicator also considers the slopes of both the fast and slow MAs to determine the direction:
Both MA Positive Slope: Indicates upward momentum or bullish trend.
Both MA Negative Slope: Indicates downward momentum or bearish trend.
One MA Positive Slope, the other Negative Slope: Indicates indecision.
MACD Line: MACD Line consecutively increase means increasing positive momentum, vice versa.
Interpretation
Uptrend: When fast MA cross over slow MA. Indicator show "+" symbol at top zone with value 0.5.
Additional Uptrend Confirmation: When both MAs have positive slope. Indicator show only green bar.
Uptrend Upward Momentum: MACD Line increase when fast MA above slow MA. Indicator show "." symbol value 0.75.
Uptrend Downward Momentum: MACD Line decrease when fast MA above slow MA. Indicator show "." symbol value 0.25.
Indecision: When one of the MA has positive slope, but another MA has negative slope. Indicator showing both red and green bar.
Downtrend: When fast MA cross under slow MA. Indicator show "+" symbol at bottom zone with value 0.5.
Additional Downtrend Confirmation: When both MAs have negative slope. Indicator show only red bar.
Downtrend Upward Momentum: MACD Line increase when fast MA below slow MA. Indicator show "." symbol value -0.25.
Uptrend Downward Momentum: MACD Line decrease when fast MA below slow MA. Indicator show "." symbol value -0.75.
Combination of above multiple interpretation can further derive different signal for Trend Starts, Trend Continuous, and Trend Reversals.
Usage
This indicator is valuable for traders seeking to:
Identify entry and exit points based on single or multiple combination of MAs and MACD Line signals.
Confirm trend direction using MAs cross over or cross under spotted easily with the "+" symbol above 0 or below 0.
Double confirm the trend based on two MAs align slope direction.
Understand momentum shifts and potential trend reversals with an easy 4 different dots at -0.75, -0.25, 0.25, and 0.75.
Conclusion
By combining MACD Line analysis with Moving Average slopes and crossovers, this indicator offers a comprehensive approach to assessing market momentum and trend direction. It provides clear signals for traders to make informed decisions on when to enter or exit positions, enhancing overall trading strategy effectiveness without the need of referring to multiple chart or zoom in and out of the price chart to identify the crossover and slope direction.
CCI and MACD Auto Trading Strategy with Risk/RewardOverview:

・Sufficient Sample Size: Choose a dataset that will generate more than 100 trades to provide a robust sample size.
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) Buy Sell Strategy [TradeDots]The "Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) Buy Sell Strategy" leverages the CMO indicator to identify short-term buy and sell opportunities.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The standard CMO indicator measures the difference between recent gains and losses, divided by the total price movement over the same period. However, this version of the CMO has some limitations.
The primary disadvantage of the original CMO is its responsiveness to short-term volatility, making the signals less smooth and more erratic, especially in fluctuating markets. This instability can lead to misleading buy or sell signals.
To address this, we integrated the concept from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. By applying a 9-period exponential moving average (EMA) to the CMO line, we obtained a smoothed signal line. This line acts as a filter, identifying confirmed overbought or oversold states, thereby reducing the number of false signals.
Similar to the MACD histogram, we generate columns representing the difference between the CMO and its signal line, reflecting market momentum. We use this momentum indicator as a criterion for entry and exit points. Trades are executed when there's a convergence of CMO and signal lines during an oversold state, and they are closed when the CMO line diverges from the signal line, indicating increased selling pressure.
APPLICATION
Since the 9-period EMA smooths the CMO line, it's less susceptible to extreme price fluctuations. However, this smoothing also makes it more challenging to breach the original +50 and -50 benchmarks.
To increase trading opportunities, we've tightened the boundary ranges. Users can customize the target benchmark lines in the settings to adjust for the volatility of the underlying asset.
The 'cool down period' is essentially the number of bars that await before the next signal generation. This feature is employed to dodge the occurrence of multiple signals in a short period.
DEFAULT SETUP
Commission: 0.01%
Initial Capital: $10,000
Equity per Trade: 80%
Signal Cool Down Period: 5

LBR-S310ROC @shrilssOriginally made by Linda Raschke, The S310ROC Indicator combines the Rate of Change (ROC) indicator with the 3-10 Oscillator (Modified MACD) and plots to capture rapid price movements and gauge market momentum.
- Rate of Change (ROC): This component of the indicator measures the percentage change in price over a specified short interval, which can be set by the user (default is 2 days). It is calculated by subtracting the closing price from 'X' days ago from the current close.
- 3-10 Oscillator (MACD; 3,10,16): This is a specialized version of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) but uses simple moving averages instead of exponential. Using a fast moving average of 3 days and a slow moving average of 10 days with a smoothing period of 16.
- ROC Dots: A great feature based on the oscillator's readings. Dots are displayed directly on the oscillator or the price chart to provide visual momentum cues:
- Aqua Dots: Appear when all lines (ROC, MACD, Slowline) are sloping downwards, indicating bearish momentum and potentially signaling a sell opportunity.
- White Dots: Appear when all lines are sloping upwards, suggesting bullish momentum and possibly a buy signal.

Velocity And Acceleration with Strategy: Traders Magazine◙ OVERVIEW
Hi, Ivestors and Traders... This Indicator, the focus is Scott Cong's article in the Stocks & Commodities September issue, “VAcc: A Momentum Indicator Based On Velocity And Acceleration”. I have also added a trading strategy for you to benefit from this indicator. First of all, let's look at what the indicator offers us and what its logic is. First, let's focus on the logic of the strategy.
◙ CONCEPTS
Here is a new indicator based on some simple physics concepts that is easy to use, responsive and precise. Learn how to calculate and use it.
The field of physics gives us some important principles that are highly applicable to analyzing the markets. In this indicator, I will present a momentum indicator. Scott Cong developed based on the concepts of velocity and acceleration this indicator. Of the many characteristics of price that traders and analysts often study, rate and rate of change are useful ones. In other words, it’s helpful to know: How fast is price moving, and is it speeding up or slowing down? How is price changing from one period to the next? The indicator I’m introducing here is calculated using the current bar (C) and every bar of a lookback period from the current bar. He named the indicator the VAcc since it’s based on the average of velocity line (av) and acceleration line (Acc) over the lookback period. For longer periods, the VAcc behaves the same way as the MACD, only it’s simpler, more responsive, and more precise. Interestingly, for shorter periods, VAcc exhibits characteristics of an oscillator, such as the stochastics oscillator.
◙ CALCULATION
The calculation of VAcc involves the following steps:
1. Relatively weighted average where the nearer price has the largest influence.
weighted_avg (float src, int length) =>
float sum = 0.0
for _i = 1 to length
float diff = (src - src ) / _i
sum += diff
sum /= length
2. The Velocity Average is smoothed with an exponential moving average. Now it get:
VAcc (float src, int period, int smoothing) =>
float vel = ta.ema(weighted_avg(src, period), smoothing)
float acc = weighted_avg(vel, period)
3. Similarly, accelerations for each bar within the lookback period and scale factor are calculated as:
= VAcc(src, length1, length2)
av /= (length1 * scale_factor)
◙ STRATEGY
In fact, Scott probably preferred to use it in periods 9 and 26 because it was similar to Macd and used the ratio of 0.5. However, I preferred to use the 8 and 21 periods to provide signals closer to the stochastic oscillator in the short term and used the 0.382 ratio. The logic of the strategy is this
Long Strategy → acc(Acceleration Line) > 0.1 and av(Velocity Average Line) > 0.1(Long Factor)
Short strategy → acc(Acceleration Line) < -0.1 and av(Velocity Average Line) < -0.1(Long Factor)
Here, you can change the Short Factor and Long Factor as you wish and produce more meaningful results that are closer to your own strategy.
I hope you benefits...
◙ GENEL BAKIŞ
Merhaba Yatırımcılar ve Yatırımcılar... Bu Gösterge, Scott Cong'un Stocks & Emtia Eylül sayısındaki “VAcc: Hız ve İvmeye Dayalı Bir Momentum Göstergesi” başlıklı makalesine odaklanmaktadır. Bu göstergeden faydalanabilmeniz için bir ticaret stratejisi de ekledim. Öncelikle göstergenin bize neler sunduğuna ve mantığının ne olduğuna bakalım. Öncelikle stratejinin mantığına odaklanalım.
◙ KAVRAMLAR
İşte kullanımı kolay, duyarlı ve kesin bazı basit fizik kavramlarına dayanan yeni bir gösterge. Nasıl hesaplanacağını ve kullanılacağını öğrenin.
Fizik alanı bize piyasaları analiz etmede son derece uygulanabilir bazı önemli ilkeler verir. Bu göstergede bir momentum göstergesi sunacağım. Scott Cong bu göstergeyi hız ve ivme kavramlarına dayanarak geliştirdi. Yatırımcıların ve analistlerin sıklıkla incelediği fiyatın pek çok özelliği arasında değişim oranı ve oranı yararlı olanlardır. Başka bir deyişle şunu bilmek faydalı olacaktır: Fiyat ne kadar hızlı hareket ediyor ve hızlanıyor mu, yavaşlıyor mu? Fiyatlar bir dönemden diğerine nasıl değişiyor? Burada tanıtacağım gösterge, mevcut çubuk (C) ve mevcut çubuktan bir yeniden inceleme döneminin her çubuğu kullanılarak hesaplanır. Göstergeye, yeniden inceleme dönemi boyunca hız çizgisinin (av) ve ivme çizgisinin (Acc) ortalamasına dayandığı için VAcc adını verdi. Daha uzun süreler boyunca VACc, MACD ile aynı şekilde davranır, yalnızca daha basit, daha duyarlı ve daha hassastır. İlginç bir şekilde, daha kısa süreler için VAcc, stokastik osilatör gibi bir osilatörün özelliklerini sergiliyor.
◙ HESAPLAMA
VAcc'nin hesaplanması aşağıdaki adımları içerir:
1. Yakın zamandaki fiyatın en büyük etkiye sahip olduğu göreceli ağırlıklı ortalamayı hesaplatıyoruz.
weighted_avg (float src, int length) =>
float sum = 0.0
for _i = 1 to length
float diff = (src - src ) / _i
sum += diff
sum /= length
2. Hız Ortalamasına üstel hareketli ortalamayla düzleştirme uygulanır. Şimdi bu şekilde aşağıdaki kod ile bunu şöyle elde ediyoruz:
VAcc (float src, int period, int smoothing) =>
float vel = ta.ema(weighted_avg(src, period), smoothing)
float acc = weighted_avg(vel, period)
3. Benzer şekilde, yeniden inceleme süresi ve ölçek faktörü içindeki her bir çubuk için fiyattaki ivmelenler yada momentum şu şekilde hesaplanır:
= VAcc(src, length1, length2)
av /= (length1 * scale_factor)
◙ STRATEJİ
Aslında Scott muhtemelen Macd'e benzediği ve 0,5 oranını kullandığı için 9. ve 26. periyotlarda kullanmayı tercih etmişti. Ancak kısa vadede stokastik osilatöre daha yakın sinyaller sağlamak için 8 ve 21 periyotlarını kullanmayı tercih ettim ve 0,382 oranını kullandım. Stratejinin mantığı şu
Uzun Strateji → acc(İvme Çizgisi) > 0,1 ve av(Hız Ortalama Çizgisi) > 0,1(Uzun Faktör)
Kısa strateji → acc(İvme Çizgisi) < -0,1 ve av(Hız Ortalama Çizgisi) < -0,1(Uzun Faktör)
Burada Kısa Faktör ve Uzun Faktör' ü dilediğiniz gibi değiştirip, kendi stratejinize daha yakın, daha anlamlı sonuçlar üretebilirsiniz.
umarım faydasını görürsün...
MACD 4C with DivergenceMACD 4C Indicator with Divergence
This indicator, named MACD 4C, enhances the traditional MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) by providing a visually intuitive representation with four distinct colors for the histogram bars. It offers a clear interpretation of market momentum and potential trend reversals.
Key Features:
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust the fast and slow moving average periods along with the signal smoothing parameter to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style and market conditions.
Four-color Histogram: The histogram bars are color-coded for easy interpretation. Lime and green bars indicate increasing bullish momentum, while maroon and red bars signify increasing bearish momentum.
Bullish and Bearish Divergence Detection: The indicator identifies bullish and bearish divergences between the MACD histogram and price action. Bullish divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low while the MACD histogram forms a higher low, indicating potential bullish reversal. Conversely, bearish divergence occurs when the price makes a higher high while the MACD histogram forms a lower high, suggesting a potential bearish reversal.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Monitor the color of the histogram bars. A series of green (or lime) bars suggests a strengthening bullish trend, while a series of red (or maroon) bars indicates a strengthening bearish trend.
Divergence Identification: Watch for divergences between the MACD histogram and price action. Bullish divergence may signal a potential bullish reversal, while bearish divergence may indicate a potential bearish reversal. These signals can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trade entries and exits.
The MACD 4C indicator was developed by user vkno422 You can find the original author and their work on their TradingView profile: www.tradingview.com
RSI and MACD Composite ScoreComponents of the Indicator
RSI Settings:
The RSI is set with a length parameter, which can be adjusted by the user but defaults to 14. This measures the speed and change of price movements.
MACD Settings:
The MACD is composed of two lines: the MACD line and the signal line, which are calculated from exponential moving averages (EMAs) of different lengths (fast and slow). The default settings are 9 for the fast length, 26 for the slow length, and 3 for the signal length.
The MACD histogram, which is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, is also calculated.
Normalization and Combination
RSI Normalization : The RSI values are normalized around 0 by subtracting 50 from the RSI and then dividing by 50. This scaling adjusts the RSI to fluctuate around 0, where positive values indicate strength and negative values indicate weakness relative to the median RSI value of 50.
MACD Normalization : The MACD histogram is normalized by dividing it by the highest absolute value of the histogram over the slow length period. This adjustment scales the MACD histogram to fall between -1 and 1, making it comparable in magnitude to the normalized RSI.
Composite Score Calculation
The composite score is simply the sum of the normalized RSI and the normalized MACD histogram. This results in a combined score that reflects both momentum (from RSI) and trend (from MACD), providing a multifaceted view of market dynamics.
Visualization
The composite score is plotted as an oscillator, with a horizontal zero line that helps identify when the score shifts from positive to negative or vice versa.
The background color changes based on the trend: green if the composite score is above zero (bullish trend) and red if below zero (bearish trend).
KC-MACD Entry Master @shrilssThe KC-MACD Entry Master is designed to enhance trading strategies by utilizing Keltner Channels and MACD for dynamic market analysis. This indicator excels in visually identifying market conditions with a sophisticated bar coloring system and an informative MACD Traffic Light feature.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Bar Coloring: The core feature of this indicator is its ability to adjust the color of bars based on their positioning relative to the Keltner Channels and the EMA (Exponential Moving Average). It colors bars lime or red when the closing price is within the Keltner Channels but above or below the EMA, respectively. Additionally, it uses a fuchsia color to indicate breakouts when the price extends beyond the Keltner Channels. This visual aid helps traders quickly identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on market volatility and price action.
- MACD Traffic Light: Positioned at the bottom of the chart, this unique feature displays the histogram color of the MACD, set by default to a 3/10/16 configuration—known as the 3-10 Oscillator. This Traffic Light gives traders an at-a-glance view of the underlying momentum and trend shifts, further aiding in decision-making processes.
- MACD-Based Entry Signals: By calculating the fast and slow moving averages specified by the user, the script determines MACD values and their crossover with a smoothed signal line. Entry points are then highlighted with shapes (e.g., "Buy" or "Sell") plotted on the chart when conditions are met, including alignment with the bar colors for enhanced accuracy.
Neutral State MACD {DCAquant}The Neutral State MACD {DCAquant}
The Neutral State MACD {DCAquant} offers a nuanced interpretation of the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator. By focusing on the neutrality of price movements, it serves to identify periods where the market lacks a defined directional bias, often seen as potential phases of accumulation or distribution before a new trend emerges.
Characteristics of the Neutral State MACD {DCAquant}:
Enhanced MACD Formula: Incorporates a neutral zone detection system into the traditional MACD framework to spotlight periods of market equilibrium.
Neutral Zone Threshold: A user-defined parameter that establishes a range within which the MACD and the signal line convergence is considered indicative of a neutral state.
Color-Coded Visualization: Utilizes color variations to illustrate the relationship between the MACD line and the signal line, accentuating the detection of neutral states, bullish crossovers, and bearish crossovers.
Functionality:
MACD and Signal Line Calculation: Employs fast and slow EMA inputs to generate the MACD line, contrasted against a signal line to capture momentum shifts.
Neutral State Detection: Assesses the proximity between the MACD and signal lines relative to the neutral zone threshold, identifying periods where neither bullish nor bearish momentum is dominant.
Background Highlighting: Modifies the chart's background color to reflect the current state of the market—neutral (gray), bullish divergence (teal), or bearish divergence (purple).
Interpretation and Trading Strategy:
Market Phases Identification: Traders can spot periods of equilibrium that may precede significant market moves, aiding in the timing of entry and exit points.
Momentum Analysis: The MACD line's cross above the signal line suggests increasing bullish momentum, whereas a cross below may signal growing bearish momentum.
Trend Confirmation: Acts as a confirmation tool when aligned with trend-following strategies, providing additional validation for trade setups.
Customization and User Guidance:
Adjustable Parameters: Allows for fine-tuning of length settings and the neutral zone threshold to match different trading styles and market conditions.
Complementary Indicator: Can be paired with volume indicators, price action patterns, or other oscillators to form a comprehensive trading system.
Disclaimer:
The Neutral State MACD {DCAquant} is a sophisticated tool meant for educational and strategic development. Traders should integrate it within a broader analytical framework and consider additional market factors. It is not a standalone signal for trades and should be used with caution and proper risk management. Trading decisions should always be made in the context of well-researched strategies and responsible investment practices.
Multi-time Frame Trend DirectionThis is a multi-time frame trend direction indicator. It indicates whether the trend is ascending or descending across multiple time frames: 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, and Daily.
The logic is based on the positions of EMA12 and EMA26.
These EMAs are smoothed with an SMA.
Why 12 and 26, and why are they smoothed with 9?
As you might surmise, these parameters are derived from the MACD.
I recommend not altering the parameters, but the choice is yours. Enjoy.
Triple EMA Distance IndicatorTriple EMA Distance Indicator
The Triple EMA Distance indicator comprises two sets of triple exponential moving averages (EMAs). One set uses the same smoothing length for all EMAs, while the other set doubles the length for the last EMA. This indicator provides visual cues based on the relationship between these EMAs and candlestick patterns.
Blue Condition:
Indicates when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is increasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored light blue.
Orange Condition:
Activates when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is increasing.

The distance between the two EMAs is decreasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored beige.
Light Blue Condition:
Represents when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA.
The distance between the two EMAs is decreasing.
Candlesticks and EMAs are colored light blue.
Divergence Detector [TradingFinder] RSI + MACD + AO Oscillator 🔵 Introduction
🟣 Understanding Divergence
As mentioned, divergence occurs in technical analysis when a stock's price behaves contrary to indicators on the price chart. Divergence can signify either a reversal of the stock's trend or a continuation of the previous trend correction.
Divergences can act as reversal patterns or continuation patterns. Moreover, divergences can be utilized to identify potential support and resistance levels.
For instance, when an indicator is trending upwards and positive, but the price is declining and trending downwards, divergence occurs. Divergence in a stock indicates trader indecision in buying and selling and warns traders to reconsider their decisions regarding buying or holding the stock.
Divergence aids analysts in identifying critical price points. In indicator divergences, it serves as a potent signal in the realm of technical analysis.
🟣 Types of Divergence
1.Regular Divergence
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2.Hidden Divergence
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence
Key Note : This indicator is specifically designed to identify "Regular Divergence" only. Therefore, the following explanation pertains to this type of divergence.
🔵 Regular Divergence/Convergence
Regular Divergence(Convergence) occurs due to conflicting behavior between the indicator and the price chart, typically at the end of a trend. Recognizing Regular Divergence suggests an anticipation of a trend reversal or a pattern resembling a reversal.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
In contrast to negative divergence, positive Regular Divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend and between two price lows. It manifests when the price forms a new low on the price chart, but the indicator fails to recognize it.
Positive Regular Divergence indicates strong buying pressure and weak selling pressure. Following the identification of positive divergence on the chart, one can anticipate a price increase for the examined stock.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
This type of Regular Divergence emerges between two price highs during an uptrend. A new high is formed on the price chart, but the indicator fails to acknowledge it. This scenario indicates negative Regular Divergence.
The likelihood of a subsequent market downturn is high. Negative divergence signifies strong selling pressure and weak buying pressure, suggesting an unfavorable future for the stock.
🔵 How to use
By utilizing the "Fractal Period" input, you can specify your desired periods for identifying divergences.
Additionally, through the "Divergence Detect Method" feature, you can choose which oscillators (MACD, RSI, or AO) to base divergence identification on.
Divergence in MACD Oscillator :
Divergence in the MACD indicator occurs when the price chart and the MACD line form a noticeable opposing pattern, meaning the price moves contrary to the MACD line. In this scenario, one expects a reversal in price direction.
Divergence in RSI Oscillator :
If divergence occurs during a downtrend on the price chart (two consecutive lows, with the second low being lower) and on the corresponding RSI point (two consecutive lows, with the second low being higher), it signifies positive Regular Divergence and implies a buying signal.
Conversely, if divergence occurs during an uptrend on the price chart (two consecutive highs, with the second high being higher) and on the corresponding RSI point (two consecutive highs, with the second high being lower), it indicates negative Regular Divergence, signaling a selling opportunity.
Divergence in AO Oscillator :
The AO indicator calculates histograms similar to the AO base. It calculates the difference between the simple moving averages of 5 and 34 periods based on the median of each bar. Then, it plots the bars based on the difference.
It then compares the histograms to detect peaks and troughs in the AO histograms and compares the identified peaks and troughs to the price. Whenever divergence is detected, it plots lines and arrows.
🔵 Table
The table contains information on the functional features of this oscillator that you can utilize. Four categories of information are presented in the table: "Exist," "Consecutive," "Divergence Quality," and "Change Phase Indicator."
Exist :
If divergence exists, you'll see "+" in this row.
Consecutive :
Divergences may occur consecutively. If same-type divergences form within short intervals, you can observe the count in this row.
Divergence Quality : Based on the number of consecutive divergences, their quality can be evaluated. If one divergence exists, its quality is considered "Normal." If two divergences exist, the quality is "Good," and if three or more divergences exist, the quality is considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change occurs between two oscillation peaks formed based on divergence, this change is identified and displayed in this row.
MACD on RSIThe MACD on RSI indicator combines elements of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It calculates the RSI on a specified source with a customizable length, then applies two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to the RSI values. The difference between these EMAs forms the MACD line, visually representing the momentum of the RSI.
MACD - Calculated with VWMAThe only difference from the classic MACD is that this one is calculated with VWMA instead of sma.
Why do I prefer it?
Classic MACD does not include volume.
But MACD - VWMA includes volume as well.
How to use it?
Whatever you do with MACD, you can do with this.
However, if my other indicators meet the conditions, I check MACD - VWMA and if I see that Macd is above the signal, I open the position to buy etc. even if it is below zero.
Again, if my other indicators meet the conditions, I use this method.
Enjoy it!
CAPACE MARKETThis custom indicator combines the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) into a single trading tool. It calculates the MACD and RSI values, then averages these two indicators to create a composite line. This average line is intended to capture the momentum and relative strength of the market simultaneously, potentially offering a more nuanced view of market conditions.
Key features of the indicator include:
Visualization of MACD and RSI Lines: It plots the MACD and RSI values as separate lines on the chart, allowing traders to see the behavior of each indicator clearly.
Average Line: A line representing the average of the MACD and RSI indicators is plotted, providing a synthesized view of both momentum and strength.
Entry Points Indication: The indicator uses red dots to mark the points where the average line crosses over or under the MACD or RSI lines. These intersections are meant to signal potential entry points for traders.
Market Condition Highlighting: The background color changes based on whether the average line is above or below zero. A green background suggests a positive market condition (bullish), while a red background indicates a negative market condition (bearish).
This tool aims to offer traders an integrated perspective by combining the insights of both MACD and RSI, potentially aiding in the identification of entry and exit points as well as the overall market sentiment.
MACD by Take and TradeImproved version of MACD with asymmetrical BUY and SELL approaches.
This indicator is based on popular MACD one, but with some "tricks" designed to make it more applicable to the rapidly changing crypto market.
Key benefits:
Dynamic auto-adjusted threshold to filter out weak signals
Highlighted BUY/SELL signals with divergence (if a signal is accompanied by divergence, for example, price makes a new high while macd has a second high below the first, this signal is considered stronger and will be highlighted in a darker color)
Boost BUY signals on very slow market in accumulation phase
Not symmetric! It uses 2 different signal lines, which allows to obtain SELL signals earlier comparing to classic MACD approach
Classic concept of MACD
Classic MACD, in its simplest case, consists of two lines - macd line and signal line. Macd line is a difference between so-called "fast" and "slow" EMA lines (there are just a Exponential Moving Average lines with different windows: "12" for fast and "26" for slow). Signal line is just a smoothed "macd" line.
When macd line crosses signal line from bottom to up and intersection point < 0, this is "BUY" signal. And vise versa, when macd line crosses signal line from top to bottom, and intersection point > 0, this is "SELL" signal.
Parameters used in default configuration of classic MACD indicator:
Fast line: EMA-12
Slow line: EMA-26
Signal line: EMA-9
Problem of classic concept
Classic MACD indicator usually gives not bad "BUY" signals, especially if using them not for operational trading but for "investment" strategy. But "SELL" signalls usually generated too late. Simply because the market tends to fall much faster than it rises.
Possible solution (the main feature of our version of MACD)
To make indicator react faster on SELL condition, while still keeping it reliable for BUY signals, we decided to use two signal lines . Faster than default signal line (with window=6) for BUY signals and much faster than default (with window=2) for SELL signals.
This approach allowed us to receive sell signals earlier and exit deals on more favorable prices. Trade off of this change - is the number of SELL signals - there were more of them. However, this does not matter, since we receive the very first sell signal with a "very fast signal line" much earlier than with classic indicator settings.
Parameters we use in our improved MACD indicator:
Fast line: EMA-12
Slow line: EMA-24
Faster signal line: EMA-6
Much faster signal line: EMA-2
Removing noise (false triggerings)
Other drawback of classic MACD - it generates a lot of "weak" (false) signals. This signals are generated when macd crosses signal line much close to zero-line. And usually there are a lot of such intersections.
To remove this kind of noise, we added a trigger threshold, which by default is equal to 2.5% of the average asset price over a long period of time. Due to the link to the average price, this threshold automatically takes a specific value for each trading pair. Threshold 2.5% works perfect for all trading pairs for 1D timeframe. For other timeframes user can (and maybe will want) change it.
Boost weak BUY signals in a prolonged bear market
Signals on bearish stage are usually very weak, because there is no volatility, and no price impulse. And such signals will be filtered out as "noise" - see above. But this time is perfect time to buy! Therefore, we further boost the buy signals in a prolonged bear market so that they can pass through the filter and appear on the chart. Bearish period is the best time to invest!
