Stefan Krecher: Jeddingen DivergenceThe main idea is to identify a divergence between momentum and price movement. E.g. if the momentum is rising but price is going down - this is what we call a divergence. The divergence will be calculated by comparing the direction of the linear regression curve of the price with the linear regression curve of momentum.
A bearish divergence can be identified by a thick red line, a bullish divergence by a green line.
When there is a divergence, it is likeley that the current trend will change it's direction.
Looking at the chart, there are three divergences that need to get interpreted:
1) bearish divergence, RSI is overbought but MACD does not clearly indicate a trend change. Right after the divergence, price and momentum are going up. No clear signal for a sell trade
2) bearish divergence, RSI still overbought, MACD histogram peaked, MACD crossed the signal line, price and momentum are going down. Very clear constellation for a sell trade.
3) two bullish diverences, RSI is oversold, MACD crossover near the end of the second divergence, price and momentum started rising. Good constellation for a buy trade. Could act as exit signal for the beforementioned sell trade.

MACD, backtest 2015+ only, cut in half and doubledThis is only a slight modification to the existing "MACD Strategy" strategy plugin!
found the default MACD strategy to be lacking, although impressive for its simplicity. I added "year>2014" to the IF buy/sell conditions so it will only backtest from 2015 and beyond ** .
I also had a problem with the standard MACD trading late, per se. To that end I modified the inputs for fast/slow/signal to double. Example: my defaults are 10, 21, 10 so I put 20, 42, 20 in. This has the effect of making a 30min interval the same as 1 hour at 10,21,10. So if you want to backtest at 4hr, you would set your time interval to 2hr on the main chart. This is a handy way to make shorter time periods more useful even regardless of strategy/testing, since you can view 15min with alot less noise but a better response.
Used on BTCCNY OKcoin, with the chart set at 45 min (so really 90min in the strategy) this gave me a percent profitable of 42% and a profit factor of 1.998 on 189 trades.
Personally, I like to set the length/signals to 30,63,30. Meaning you need to triple the time, it allows for much better use of shorter time periods and the backtests are remarkably profitable. (i.e. 15min chart view = 45min on script, 30min= 1.5hr on script)
** If you want more specific time periods you need to try plugging in different bar values: replace "year" with "n" and "2014" with "5500". The bars are based on unix time I believe so you will need to play around with the number for n, with n being the numbers of bars.
MACD + SMA 200 Strategy (by ChartArt)Here is a combination of the classic MACD (moving average convergence divergence indicator) with the classic slow moving average SMA with period 200 together as a strategy.
This strategy goes long if the MACD histogram and the MACD momentum are both above zero and the fast MACD moving average is above the slow MACD moving average. As additional long filter the recent price has to be above the SMA 200. If the inverse logic is true, the strategy goes short. For the worst case there is a max intraday equity loss of 50% filter.
Save another $999 bucks with my free strategy.
This strategy works in the backtest on the daily chart of Bitcoin, as well as on the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average daily charts. Current performance as of November 30, 2015 on the SPX500 CFD daily is percent profitable: 68% since the year 1970 with a profit factor of 6.4. Current performance as of November 30, 2015 on the DOWI index daily is percent profitable: 51% since the year 1915 with a profit factor of 10.8.
All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
MACD trend heatmap (by ChartArt)This is an overlay indicator which uses the classic period settings and signals from the MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) indicator to overlay a heatmap using all the information the MACD generates with its three periods (12,26,9).
The first two moving averages which the MACD uses (12 and 26) can be plotted on the chart like usual EMAs.
In addition to the background color function (the heatmap) and the EMAs, there is an optional bar color alert when the uptrend or the downtrend as measured by the MACD appears to be very strong.
Improved Moving Average Convergence/DivergenceSimple change to the standard MACD formula I like to use that slow it down and reduces the amount of false signals while allowing strong/good signals through,
chentz MACDAn adaptation of MACD. I added:
- Zero line cross signal
- MACD/Signal line cross signals with arrows
- Max/Min lines threshold
Theoretical foundation is from goo.gl

Buy to Sell Convergence / Divergence and Volume Pressure Counterforce Histogram Ideas by: @XeL_Arjona
WHAT IS THIS?
The following indicators try to acknowledge in a K-I-S-S approach to the eye (Keep-It-Simple-Stupid), the two most important aspects of nearly every trading vehicle: -- PRICE ACTION IN RELATION BY IT'S VOLUME --
Volume Pressure Histogram: Columns plotted in positive are considered the dominant Volume Force for the given period. All "negative" columns represents the counterforce Vol.Press against the dominant.
Buy to Sell Convergence / Divergence: It's a simple adaptation of the popular "Price Percentage Oscillator" or MACD but taking Buying Pressure against Selling Pressure Averages, so given a Positive oscillator reading (>0) represents Bullish dominant Trend and a Negative reading (<0) a Bearish dominant Trend. Histogram is the diff between RAW Volume Pressures Convergence/Divergence minus Normalised ones (Signal) which helps as a confirmation.
Volume bars are by default plotted from RAW Volume Pressure algorithms, but they can be as well filtered with Karthik Marar's approach against a "Total Volume Average" in favor to clean day to day noise like HFT.

DiNapoli MACD & Stoch [LazyBear] --- Updated: May 19 2015 ----
Applicable only If you are setting up alerts:
I noticed I have switched the plot names. Histo shd be the MACD and DMACD shd be the Signal.
Replace lines 16 & 17 with these to get the correct names. NOTE that no functionality is affected, just the names.
plot(r, style=columns, color=r>0?green:red, transp=80, title="Dinapoli MACD")
plot(s, color=teal, linewidth=2, title="Trigger")
--- Original Description ---
These two indicators are from one of my favorite books - DiNapoli's Levels. These are custom MACD and Stoch used by him. There are more indicators - Detrended Osc, DisplacedMA - that he uses, will publish them all later.
The settings of normal MACD/Stoch can be tuned to obtain these DiNapoli indicators, or if you are lazy (like me!) just use these :)

MACD Color Trawler (by ChartArt)This version of the MACD indicator is 'trawling' (checking) if the MACD histogram and the zero line crossing with the MACD line are both positive or negative. The idea behind this is to show areas with higher or lower risk.
Features:
1. Enable the bar color
2. Enable the background color
3. Change zero line value
FYI:
"The MACD-Histogram is an indicator of an indicator. In fact, MACD is also an indicator of an indicator. This means that the MACD-Histogram is the fourth derivative of price."
First derivative: 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA
Second derivative: MACD (12-day EMA less the 26-day EMA)
Third derivative: MACD signal line (9-day EMA of MACD)
Fourth derivative: MACD-Histogram (MACD less MACD signal line)

MACD for colour blind peopleThis is a MACD for the 1% of the population who suffer from Deuteranopia, commonly known as colour blindness (red-green)
MACD DEUTERANOPIEThis is a 4 coloured MACD for the appr. 1% of People who suffer from Deuteranopia, commonly known as colour blindness (red-green).
Impulse MACD [LazyBear]Impulse MACD is a modified MACD, formed by filtering out the values in a MA range (region between MAs of high and low), thereby reducing whipsaw typical in a sideways market. This is usually plotted as histogram. This also plots the traditional histogram (MACD - Signal), to help in finding entries/exits.
Use this like a traditional MACD (Zero line crossing or Signal crossing).
Colors legend:
Impulse MACD: Possible colors => Lime / Green / Orange / Red, based on the ImpulseMACD position with respect to MidLine and Signal.
Impulse MACD Signal: Maroon line.
Blue histogram: (ImpulseMACD - Signal).

SMACD - Standardised MACDStandardised MACD - this uses the MACD indicator, but expressed as a percentage of Close price. This allows for the relative comparison between stocks which have different absolute values. MACD will give a high value to a high priced stock, whereas SMACD will represent stock performance in a standardised format, relative to the closing price of the stock. It effect it represents the MACD as a percentage of share price. An added advantage of SMACD over MACD is that since the indicator is relative to the price, later values are not inflated (assuming rising trend). Thus the scale is not linear, rather it more like a log scale, offering a truer picture of growth over time. It is for this reason the SMACD lines may slightly differ from MACD, but it is a more valid representation in my view. The difference is minor. (Developed by Des Bleakley - Melbourne)
Multi Timeframe MACDThis will show you the MACD (no Signal Line) of the higher timeframes (up to 4h). Current Timeframe is colored blue, higher timeframes are colored from light gray to darker gray (you can change that).

v01 - orginal description
---------------------------------
Insync Index, by Norm North, is a consensus indicator. It uses RSI, MACD, MFI, DPO, ROC, Stoch, CCI and %B to calculate a composite signal. Basically, this index shows that when a majority of underlying indicators is in sync, a turning point is near.
There are couple of ways to use this indicator.
- Buy when crossing up 5, sell when crossing down 95.
- Market is typically bullish when index is above 50, bearish when below 50. This can be a great confirmation signal for price action + trend lines.
Also, since this is typical oscillator, look for divergences between price and index.
Levels 75/25 are early warning levels. Note that, index > 75 (and less than 95) should be considered very bullish and index below 25 (but above 5) as very bearish. Levels 95/5 are equivalent to traditional OB/OS levels.
The various values of the underlying components can be tuned via options page. I have also provided an option to color bars based on the index value.
