Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD)
Indicator DashboardThis script creates an 'Indicator Dashboard' designed to assist you in analyzing financial markets and making informed decisions. The indicator provides a summary of current market conditions by presenting various technical analysis indicators in a table format. The dashboard evaluates popular indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic RSI. Below, we'll explain each part of this script in detail and its purpose:
### Overview of Indicators
1. **Moving Averages (MA)**:
- This indicator calculates Simple Moving Averages (“SMA”) for 5, 14, 20, 50, 100, and 200 periods. These averages provide a visual summary of price movements. Depending on whether the price is above or below the moving average, it determines the market direction as either “Bullish” or “Bearish.”
2. **RSI (Relative Strength Index)**:
- The RSI helps identify overbought or oversold market conditions. Here, the RSI is calculated for a 14-period window, and this value is displayed in the table. Additionally, the 14-period moving average of the RSI is also included.
3. **MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)**:
- The MACD indicator is used to determine trend strength and potential reversals. This script calculates the MACD line, signal line, and histogram. The MACD condition (“Bullish,” “Bearish,” or “Neutral”) is displayed alongside the MACD and signal line values.
4. **Stochastic RSI**:
- Stochastic RSI is used to identify momentum changes in the market. The %K and %D lines are calculated to determine the market condition (“Bullish” or “Bearish”), which is displayed along with the calculated values for %K and %D.
### Table Layout and Presentation
The dashboard is presented in a vertical table format in the top-right corner of the chart. The table contains two columns: “Indicator” and “Status,” summarizing the condition of each technical indicator.
- **Indicator Column**: Lists each of the indicators being tracked, such as SMA values, RSI, MACD, etc.
- **Status Column**: Displays the current status of each indicator, such as “Bullish,” “Bearish,” or specific values like the RSI or MACD.
The table also includes rounded indicator values for easier interpretation. This helps traders quickly assess market conditions and make informed decisions based on multiple indicators presented in a single location.
### Detailed Indicator Status Calculations
1. **SMA Status**: For each moving average (5, 14, 20, 50, 100, 200), the script checks if the current price is above or below the SMA. The status is determined as “Bullish” if the price is above the SMA and “Bearish” if below, with the value of the SMA also displayed.
2. **RSI and RSI Average**: The RSI value for a 14-period is displayed along with its 14-period SMA, which provides an average reading of the RSI to smooth out volatility.
3. **MACD Indicator**: The MACD line, signal line, and histogram are calculated using standard parameters (12, 26, 9). The status is shown as “Bullish” when the MACD line is above the signal line, and “Bearish” when it is below. The exact values for the MACD line, signal line, and histogram are also included.
4. **Stochastic RSI**: The %K and %D lines of the Stochastic RSI are used to determine the trend condition. If %K is greater than %D, the condition is “Bullish,” otherwise it is “Bearish.” The actual values of %K and %D are also displayed.
### Conclusion
The 'Indicator Dashboard' provides a comprehensive overview of multiple technical indicators in a single, easy-to-read table. This allows traders to quickly gauge market conditions and make more informed decisions. By consolidating key indicators like Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic RSI into one dashboard, it saves time and enhances the efficiency of technical analysis.
This script is particularly useful for traders who prefer a clean and organized overview of their favorite indicators without needing to plot each one individually on the chart. Instead, all the crucial information is available at a glance in a consolidated format.
TechniTrend: Volatility and MACD Trend Highlighter🟦 Overview
The "Candle Volatility with Trend Prediction" indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify market volatility based on candle movement relative to average volume while also incorporating trend predictions using the MACD. This indicator is ideal for traders who want to detect volatile market conditions and anticipate potential price movements, leveraging both price changes and volume dynamics.
It not only highlights candles with significant price movements but also integrates a trend analysis based on the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), allowing traders to gauge whether the market momentum aligns with or diverges from the detected volatility.
🟦 Key Features
🔸Volatility Detection: Identifies candles that exceed normal price fluctuations based on average volume and recent price volatility.
🔸Trend Prediction: Uses the MACD indicator to overlay trend analysis, signaling potential market direction shifts.
🔸Volume-Based Analysis: Integrates customizable moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.) of volume, providing a clear visualization of volume trends.
🔸Alert System: Automatically notifies traders of high-volatility situations, aiding in timely decision-making.
🔸Customizability: Includes multiple settings to tailor the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
🟦 How It Works
The indicator operates by evaluating the price volatility in relation to average volume and identifying when a candle's volatility surpasses a threshold defined by the user. The key calculations include:
🔸Average Volume Calculation: The user selects the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, etc.) to calculate the average volume over a set period.
🔸Volatility Measurement: The indicator measures the body change (difference between open and close) and the high-low range of each candle. It then calculates recent price volatility using a standard deviation over a user-defined length.
🔸Weighted Index: A unique index is created by dividing price change by average volume and recent volatility.
🔸Highlighting Volatility: If the weighted index exceeds a customizable threshold, the candle is highlighted, indicating potential trading opportunities.
🔸Trend Analysis with MACD: The MACD line and signal line are plotted and adjusted with a user-defined multiplier to visualize trends alongside the volatility signals.
🟦 Recommended Settings
🔸Volume MA Length: A default of 14 periods for the average volume calculation is recommended. Adjust to higher periods for long-term trends and shorter periods for quick trades.
🔸Volatility Threshold Multiplier: Set at 1.2 by default to capture moderately significant movements. Increase for fewer but stronger signals or decrease for more frequent signals.
🔸MACD Settings: Default MACD parameters (12, 26, 9) are suggested. Tweak based on your trading strategy and asset volatility.
🔸MACD Multiplier: Adjust based on how the MACD should visually compare to the average volume. A multiplier of 1 works well for most cases.
🟦 How to Use
🔸Volatile Market Detection:
Look for highlighted candles that suggest a deviation from typical price behavior. These candles often signify an entry point for short-term trades.
🔸Trend Confirmation:
Use the MACD trend analysis to verify if the highlighted volatile candles align with a bullish or bearish trend.
For example, a bullish MACD crossover combined with a highlighted candle suggests a potential uptrend, while a bearish crossover with volatility signals may indicate a downtrend.
🔸Volume-Driven Strategy:
Observe how volume changes impact candle volatility. When volume rises significantly and candles are highlighted, it can suggest strong market moves influenced by big players.
🟦 Best Use Cases
🔸Trend Reversals: Detect potential trend reversals early by spotting divergences between price and MACD within volatile conditions.
🔸Breakout Strategies: Use the indicator to confirm price breakouts with significant volume changes.
🔸Scalping or Day Trading: Customize the indicator for shorter timeframes to capture rapid market movements based on volatility spikes.
🔸Swing Trading: Combine volatility and trend insights to optimize entry and exit points over longer periods.
🟦 Customization Options
🔸Volume-Based Inputs: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, and more to define how average volume is calculated.
🔸Threshold Adjustments: Modify the volatility threshold multiplier to increase or decrease sensitivity based on your trading style.
🔸MACD Tuning: Adjust MACD settings and the multiplier for trend visualization tailored to different asset classes and market conditions.
🟦 Indicator Alerts
🔸High Volatility Alerts: Automatically triggered when candles exceed user-defined volatility levels.
🔸Bullish/Bearish Trend Alerts: Alerts are activated when highlighted volatile candles align with bullish or bearish MACD crossovers, making it easier to spot opportunities without constantly monitoring the chart.
🟦 Examples of Use
To better understand how this indicator works, consider the following scenarios:
🔸Example 1: In a strong uptrend, observe how volume surges and volatility highlight candles right before price consolidations, indicating optimal exit points.
🔸Example 2: During a downtrend, see how the MACD aligns with volume-driven volatility, signaling potential short-selling opportunities.
MACD -- Normalized█ OVERVIEW
This indicator is a normalized and scaled version of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) indicator, inspired by the work in "Statistically Sound Indicators" by Timothy Masters. It enhances the traditional MACD by applying statistical normalization and scaling techniques, providing more consistent and reliable signals across different markets and timeframes.
█ CONCEPTS
The traditional MACD measures the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages ( EMAs ) of different lengths to identify momentum changes. However, its raw values are unbounded, making it challenging to compare across different instruments or timeframes.
This normalized MACD addresses this limitation by:
• Normalization : Adjusting the MACD values using the Average True Range ( ATR ) to account for market volatility.
• Scaling : Applying the Cumulative Distribution Function ( CDF ) to constrain the output between -50 and +50.
• Smoothing : Providing a smoothed signal line and histogram to effectively visualize momentum shifts.
█ FEATURES
• Normalized MACD Line : Computes the difference between the short-term and long-term EMAs, normalized by market volatility.
• Signal Line : Applies EMA smoothing to the normalized MACD line over a user-defined period.
• Histogram : Visualizes the difference between the normalized MACD line and the signal line, highlighting momentum changes.
• Customization Options :
• Adjustable lengths for the short-term EMA, long-term EMA, and signal line smoothing.
• Ability to toggle the visibility of the MACD line, signal line, and histogram.
• Statistical Scaling : Utilizes statistical methods from Timothy Masters' work to provide consistent scaling across different instruments.
█ HOW TO USE
1 — Identify Momentum Shifts :
• A crossover of the MACD line above the signal line may indicate a bullish momentum shift.
• A crossover of the MACD line below the signal line may indicate a bearish momentum shift.
2 — Analyze the Histogram :
• A rising histogram suggests strengthening momentum in the current trend direction.
• A falling histogram may signal weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
3 — Customize Parameters :
• Adjust the EMA lengths and smoothing periods to fit the specific instrument or timeframe.
• Use the visibility toggles to focus on the components most relevant to your analysis.
4 — Combine with Other Tools :
• Use in conjunction with support/resistance levels, trend lines, or other indicators to confirm signals.
• Consider the overall market context to enhance decision-making.
█ LIMITATIONS
• The indicator is based on historical price data; it may not predict future market movements accurately.
• May produce false signals during low volatility or ranging market conditions.
• Initial periods may display na values due to insufficient data for calculations.
█ NOTES
• Ensure that the MathHelpers library by HuntGatherTrade is imported for the indicator to function correctly.
• The default parameters are commonly used settings but may require adjustments based on the trading instrument and timeframe.
• The normalization and scaling techniques are designed to make the indicator's outputs more comparable across different markets.

Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)
The VASTC is a fairly fast-moving oscillator designed to identify trends early and signal when trends may be nearing their end. While it can be used for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies , it shines in trend-following setups. It’s particularly useful for catching the start of a trend and giving early warnings that a trend might end soon, making it a valuable addition to a multi-indicator system.
How It Works:
The VASTC adapts the traditional Schaff Trend Cycle by adjusting the MACD component with volume data. This volume-adjusted MACD is run through two stochastic processes , applying exponential smoothing to enhance responsiveness. Volume sensitivity allows the VASTC to adapt dynamically to periods of high or low trading activity, providing more reliable trend signals.
Recommended Use:
Use VASTC in confluence with other indicators to confirm trend entries and exits. It’s best for identifying early trend setups rather than sustaining prolonged trend trades. When used alongside other indicators, especially those with a longer-term outlook or momentum based trend indicators, you’ll gain a clearer signal for potential exits or entries. Always backtest the VASTC on your chosen assets to determine the most effective input parameters, as the defaults may not suit all markets or assets. Different assets behave differently, and adjustments in parameters can improve its ability to analyze the assets you're looking at.
Parameters:
Length : Sets the primary smoothing length.
Fast/Slow Length : Adjust the speed of the volume-adjusted MACD component.
Factor : Controls the final smoothing applied to the STC.
Overbought/Oversold Levels : Defines overbought/oversold levels.
Experiment with these settings to customize the VASTC to your trading strategy and asset.
Disclaimer : This indicator is a tool to complement your trading analysis and should not be used in isolation. Always backtest and use other confluence signals for best results. The assets I looked at when making this indicator are almost certainly different than what you're looking at.
Dynamic Volume-Based Buy/Sell IndicatorThis script provides a powerful volume-based indicator that visualizes buy and sell volumes, issues alerts for volume spikes, and adjusts color intensity dynamically based on volume size. It includes customizable settings for volume averaging and thresholds, making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
Divergence Indicator Multi [TradingFinder] MACD AO RSI DIV Chart🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is Divergence in Financial Markets?
Divergence in technical analysis happens when the price of a stock moves in a direction opposite to certain indicators. This is a crucial concept in financial markets as it can signal either a trend reversal or a continuation of the current correction in the trend. Understanding divergence helps traders and analysts make more informed decisions.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
A positive regular divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend, where two price lows form. This divergence appears when the price chart shows a new low, but the indicator does not follow, signaling potential buying opportunities.
Positive divergence indicates increased buying pressure and reduced selling pressure, making it a useful signal for forecasting price increases.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
A negative regular divergence is seen during an uptrend when two price highs form. The price chart records a new high, but the indicator does not reflect this change, suggesting that a market downturn is likely.
This type of divergence shows strong selling pressure and weaker buying activity, which can help identify selling opportunities.
Both positive and negative divergences are powerful tools for identifying potential trend reversals and key support and resistance levels. For example, when an indicator trends upward while the price moves downward, this creates divergence, warning traders to reconsider their investment strategy.
🟣 Different Types of Divergence in Trading
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.
Note : This guide focuses specifically on Regular Divergence.
🟣 What is Regular Divergence?
Regular Divergence, often referred to as convergence, occurs when price action and indicators show conflicting patterns, usually signaling the end of a trend. Detecting regular divergence helps traders anticipate potential trend reversals or the formation of reversal patterns.
🔵 How to Use
To optimize the detection of divergence, you can adjust the Fractal Period to specify the length of time for identifying divergence patterns.
Additionally, with the Divergence Detection Method, you can select oscillators like the MACD, RSI, or AO to base divergence detection on.
Divergence in MACD :
MACD divergence occurs when the price chart forms an opposite pattern compared to the MACD line, indicating a potential price reversal.
Divergence in RSI :
In a downtrend, if the price chart forms two consecutive lows with the second lower than the first, but the RSI shows two lows with the second higher, this indicates positive regular divergence, which is a buy signal.
On the other hand, during an uptrend, if the price forms two highs with the second higher than the first, but the RSI shows the second high lower, this points to negative regular divergence, indicating a sell signal.
Divergence in AO (Awesome Oscillator) :
The AO indicator calculates histograms using the difference between 5-period and 34-period simple moving averages. It compares peaks and troughs of these histograms with price movements, detecting divergence and plotting lines and arrows to signal divergence.
🔵 Table
The following table breaks down the main features of the oscillator. It covers four critical categories: Exist, Consecutive, Divergence Quality, and Change Phase Indicator.
Exist : If divergence is detected, a "+" will appear in this row.
Consecutive: Shows the number of consecutive divergences that have formed in a short period.
Divergence Quality : Evaluates the quality of the divergence based on the number of occurrences. One is labeled "Normal," two are "Good," and three or more are considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change is detected between two oscillation peaks, this is marked in the table.
BRT MACD CustomBRT MACD Custom — Adaptive and Flexible MACD for Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The BRT MACD Custom is an advanced version of the traditional MACD indicator, offering additional flexibility and adaptability for multi-timeframe trading. This custom script allows traders to adjust the calculation parameters for MACD to suit their specific trading strategy, timeframe, and market conditions.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support
Unlike the standard MACD, this indicator lets you choose a specific timeframe (different from the chart timeframe) for calculating MACD values. This feature provides more flexibility in analyzing market trends on multiple timeframes without changing the main chart.
Example: You can analyze MACD on a 15-minute timeframe even when your chart is set to 1-minute, giving you broader market insights.
Customizable EMA and Signal Settings
Users can adjust the fast and slow EMA lengths as well as the signal smoothing to better align with their preferred trading strategies. The script allows switching between the two popular types of moving averages — SMA or EMA — for both the MACD and the signal line.
Volatility-Based Adaptive EMA
The script includes an adaptive mechanism for EMA calculation. When the selected timeframe closes, the indicator dynamically adjusts the calculation, ensuring the MACD values respond quickly to market volatility. This makes the indicator more reactive compared to static MACD implementations.
Shift Options for MACD, Signal, and Histogram
The indicator allows shifting the MACD, signal line, and histogram values by one or more bars. This can be useful for backtesting and simulating strategies where you anticipate future price movements.
Signal Alerts for Long and Short Trades
The script generates visual signals when certain conditions are met, indicating potential long or short trade opportunities. These signals are based on MACD and histogram crossovers:
Long Signal: Triggered when MACD is above the signal line and both are rising.
Short Signal: Triggered when MACD is below the signal line and both are falling.
Custom Plotting
The MACD line, signal line, and histogram are plotted on the chart for easy visualization. The histogram changes colors to reflect positive or negative momentum:
Green shades when MACD is above the signal line.
Red shades when MACD is below the signal line.
Applications in Trading
The BRT MACD Custom is ideal for traders who need flexibility in their technical analysis. Its multi-timeframe capabilities and customizable moving averages make it suitable for day trading, swing trading, and long-term investing across a variety of markets.
Scalping: Use the 1-minute or 5-minute timeframe to identify short-term trends while calculating MACD on a higher timeframe such as 15 or 30 minutes.
Swing Trading: Apply the indicator on 1-hour or 4-hour charts to detect mid-term trends.
Long-Term Investing: Analyze daily or weekly charts with longer EMA periods to confirm market direction before making large investments.
Momentum-Based Buy/Sell SignalsBuy Signal:
Triggered when ROC > threshold and the MACD line crosses above the Signal line.
Sell Signal:
Triggered when ROC < threshold and the MACD line crosses below the Signal line.
Visual Elements:
Green labels with "Buy" are displayed below the bars for buy signals.
Red labels with "Sell" are displayed above the bars for sell signals.
The background turns green during a buy signal and red during a sell signal for better visual clarity.
MACD Diff SignalWhen the MACD Absolute Histogram is above a threshold (set by nth lowest absolute histogram value in the rolling window) the indicator produces the MACD Histogram level, otherwise it produces 0. This Indicator is good for identifying bullish or bearish momentum.
Custom MACD Oscillator with Bar ColoringCustom MACD Oscillator with Bar Coloring
This custom MACD indicator is a fusion of two powerful MACD implementations, combining the best features of both the MACD Crossover by HPotter and the Multiple Time Frame Custom MACD Indicator by ChrisMoody. The indicator enhances the traditional MACD with customizable options and dynamic bar coloring based on the relationship between the MACD and Signal lines, providing a clear visual representation of momentum shifts in the market.
Key Features:
MACD Oscillator: Built on the core MACD principle, showing the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) for momentum tracking.

Histogram with Custom Colors: A customizable histogram visualizes the difference between the MACD and Signal lines with color-coding to represent changes in momentum.
Cross Dots: Visual markers at points where the MACD crosses the Signal line for easy identification of potential trend shifts.
This indicator is a versatile tool for traders who want to visualize MACD-based momentum and crossover signals in multiple timeframes with clear visual cues on price bars.
Volume Wave Trend ConfirmationUtility of the Indicator
The core utility of this indicator lies in its ability to utilize volume, a less frequently exploited metric in MACD analysis, providing several strategic advantages:
Trend Confirmation: By focusing on volume, the indicator confirms whether movements in price are backed by significant trading activity. A rising MACD line above the signal line, paired with increasing volume, can confirm the strength of an uptrend. Conversely, if the histogram turns negative while the MACD line falls below the signal line during a price drop, it confirms a robust downtrend.
Early Warning Signals: Changes in the histogram and divergences between the MACD and Signal lines can serve as early warnings of potential reversals or slowdowns in market momentum. For instance, a shrinking histogram in an uptrend might suggest that the upward movement is losing steam.
Market Sentiment: The integration of volume into the MACD framework allows the indicator to provide insights into underlying market sentiment. Higher volumes during price movements indicate stronger conviction among traders, making the trend more reliable.
Indicator Functionality
The "Volume Wave Trend Confirmation" indicator is built on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) framework, but with a unique twist: it uses the smoothed moving averages (SMA) of trading volumes instead of price. The indicator calculates two specific SMAs of the volume — a shorter 33-period SMA and a longer 100-period SMA — and computes their difference. This difference is then used as the input for the MACD calculation, with typical parameters set at 12, 26, and a signal line of 9.
MACD Line (Blue): Represents the main line, calculated as the difference between the 12-period and 26-period exponential moving averages (EMA) of the volume difference.
Signal Line (Orange): A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, acting as a trigger for buy or sell signals.
Histogram (Blue/Purple): Measures the distance between the MACD line and the Signal line, colored blue when positive (above the Signal line) and purple when negative (below the Signal line).
VWAP PressureKey Features and Utility:
Intrabar Focus: Unlike standard VWAP, which provides a cumulative average throughout the day, the Intrabar VWAP focuses on volume-weighted price calculations within shorter time frames. This allows traders to see how price and volume interact moment-to-moment, offering a granular view of market sentiment.
Market Pressure Analysis: The indicator examines the difference between a smoothed weighted average price of the close and intrabar price movements. This analysis helps in identifying the market pressure at high volume areas. When the market exhibits high volume at low prices within a bar, it suggests accumulation, whereas high volume at high prices indicates distribution.
Momentum and Pressure Shift Signals: By applying a modified MACD calculation to the smoothed difference, the indicator provides signals on shifts in market pressure. Positive values indicate upward price momentum (buying pressure), while negative values suggest downward momentum (selling pressure).
Market DirectionThe "Market Direction" indicator combines four advanced sub-indicators to provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of market trends, momentum, and potential reversals. This innovative approach leverages different aspects of price action, volume, and market sentiment, offering traders an in-depth view of market conditions.
1. Fractal Indicator: Multi-Scale Price Action Analysis
The Fractal Indicator identifies significant highs and lows over six different pivot lengths, offering a nuanced view of price action across multiple timeframes. By comparing distances from current closing prices to these key fractal points, the indicator determines potential trend reversals and market direction. This approach enables traders to adapt their strategies to various market conditions, capturing both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends.
2. Volume MACD Indicator: Enhanced Market Momentum
The Volume MACD Indicator goes beyond traditional MACD analysis by incorporating volume-weighted movement and the structural attributes of candlesticks (such as body length and wicks). This hybrid model offers a more comprehensive understanding of market momentum by integrating both price action and trading volume. The use of Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA) reduces noise and ensures more stable signals, helping traders focus on sustainable trends and longer-term investment opportunities.
3. Cumulative Volume Momentum Indicator: Volume Dynamics Insight
The Cumulative Volume Momentum Indicator evaluates the momentum of cumulative buying and selling volumes, offering a clear picture of market strength and potential reversals. By comparing the relationship between open, close, high, and low prices, and applying a MACD approach to these volume dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify momentum shifts that often precede price movements. The visualization through histograms adds clarity to bullish and bearish volume momentum, enhancing decision-making in volatile markets.
4. POC-Price Momentum Indicator: Market Depth and Sentiment
The POC-Price Momentum Indicator assesses the difference between the Point of Control (POC) and closing prices, providing insights into underlying market sentiment. Positive differences indicate a buildup of upward momentum, while negative differences suggest a bearish tilt. By calculating moving averages of these differences, the indicator highlights the strength and sustainability of ongoing trends, helping traders align their strategies with the broader market direction.

Volume-Weighted RSI with HMA SmoothingThis script combines a Volume-Weighted RSI, smoothed with a custom Hull Moving Average (HMA), with a modified MACD based on normalized net volume.
Volume-Weighted RSI: It is calculated by adjusting the closing price with a normalized On-Balance Volume (OBV) and then applying an RSI. This approach weights the RSI according to volume, providing a more accurate measure of the strength of the price movement.
Modified HMA: A Hull Moving Average (HMA) is used to smooth the Volume-Weighted RSI, enhancing the ability to identify market trend changes.
Possible Reversal from Oversold:
The Volume-Weighted RSI crosses above the oversold level.
It is displayed as an upward green triangle at the bottom of the chart, indicating that the market might be exhausting its oversold conditions and potentially starting an upward reversal.
Possible Reversal from Overbought:
The Volume-Weighted RSI crosses below the overbought level.
It is displayed as a downward red triangle at the top of the chart, indicating that the market might be exhausting its overbought conditions and potentially starting a downward reversal.
Confirmation with the Modified MACD: For a more robust interpretation, the behavior of the modified MACD can be observed alongside the RSI cross.
The MACD is also modified, using normalized net volume (calculated as the cumulative change in the closing price multiplied by volume) as the input instead of the standard closing price.
The direction and color change of the MACD bars indicate the market's momentum.
Alerts: Alerts are set to trigger automatically when the modified RSI crosses the oversold or overbought levels.

Uptrick: MACD Slope Buy/Sell SignalsThe "Uptrick: MACD Slope Buy/Sell Signals" indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool meticulously crafted to provide traders with precise buy and sell signals derived from the slope changes of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signal line. This indicator integrates user-defined parameters for the MACD calculation, including the fast length, slow length, and signal smoothing period. These parameters allow traders to customize the indicator according to their specific trading strategies and timeframes, ensuring adaptability across various market conditions.
The primary function of this indicator is to monitor the slope of the MACD signal line and detect significant shifts that indicate potential changes in market momentum. The indicator calculates the slope by comparing the current value of the signal line to its previous value, and further determines the change in slope to identify acceleration or deceleration in the trend. A buy signal is generated when the slope of the signal line transitions from negative to positive, signaling an upward momentum, while a sell signal is triggered when the slope moves from positive to negative, indicating a downward trend. To enhance signal accuracy, the indicator distinguishes between regular and strong signals. A strong buy signal requires the slope change to be greater than the simple moving average (SMA) of recent slope changes, whereas a strong sell signal necessitates the slope change to be less than the negative SMA of recent slope changes.
A unique feature of this indicator is its dynamic and intuitive visualization. When a strong buy or sell signal is identified, it plots labels ('B' for buy and 'S' for sell) directly on the price chart. These labels are strategically positioned below or above the respective bars to ensure clear visibility and reduce chart clutter. The indicator also includes an option to connect consecutive signals with lines, which enhances the visual tracking of signal sequences and provides a coherent view of the trend's progression. The color intensity of the plotted signals varies based on the absolute value of the slope, offering an immediate visual cue on the strength of the detected trend changes. A steeper slope results in a darker color, signaling a stronger trend.
To facilitate comprehensive analysis, the indicator also plots the MACD and signal lines on the chart, providing traders with a reference to the underlying data that drives the buy and sell signals. These lines are color-coded for easy differentiation: the MACD line is typically blue, and the signal line is orange. This visual aid ensures that traders have a clear understanding of the indicator's basis and can cross-reference the generated signals with the MACD behavior.
The calculation of this indicator is grounded in well-established technical analysis principles. It employs the MACD function to derive the MACD line and signal line based on the user-defined parameters. The slope of the signal line is then computed, followed by the calculation of the slope change. The buy and sell signals are determined by comparing the current and previous slopes, and the strong signals are filtered through an additional layer of slope change analysis relative to its moving average.
The accuracy and reliability of the "Uptrick: MACD Slope Buy/Sell Signals" indicator stem from its thorough and methodical approach to signal generation. By combining user customization, detailed slope analysis, and robust visual elements, this indicator serves as a powerful tool for traders seeking precise entry and exit points in the market. Its ability to adapt to different trading styles and market conditions, coupled with its clear visual cues, makes it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit, enhancing decision-making and improving trading outcomes.
Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal DetectorDetailed Explanation of the "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" Script
The "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" script is a sophisticated tool designed for the TradingView platform, leveraging Pine Script version 5. This script is crafted to enhance traders' ability to identify bullish (buy) and bearish (sell) signals directly on their trading charts. By combining the power of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicators, this script provides a unique and efficient method for detecting potential trading opportunities. Below is an in-depth exploration of its purpose, features, and functionality.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this script is to assist traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market by signaling bullish and bearish conditions. This automated detection helps traders make more informed decisions without the need to manually analyze complex indicators. By overlaying signals directly on the price chart, the script allows for quick visual identification of market trends and reversals.
Uniqueness
What sets this script apart is its dual use of MACD and RSI indicators. While many trading strategies might rely on a single indicator, combining MACD and RSI enhances the reliability of the signals by filtering out false positives. The script not only identifies trends but also adds a layer of confirmation through the RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements.
Inputs and Features
Customizable Label Appearance:
The script allows users to customize the appearance of the labels that indicate bullish and bearish signals. Users can set their preferred colors for the labels and the text, ensuring that the signals are easily distinguishable and aesthetically pleasing on their charts.
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates the MACD line and signal line using user-defined input values for the fast length, slow length, and signal length. The MACD histogram, which is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, is used to determine the momentum of the market.
RSI Calculation:
The RSI is calculated using a user-defined input length. The RSI helps in identifying overbought or oversold conditions, which are crucial for confirming the strength of the trend detected by the MACD.
Bullish and Bearish Conditions:
The script defines bullish conditions as those where the MACD histogram is positive and the RSI is above 50. Bearish conditions are defined where the MACD histogram is negative and the RSI is below 50. This combination of conditions ensures that signals are generated based on both momentum and relative strength, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
Label Plotting:
The script plots labels on the chart to indicate bullish and bearish signals. When a bullish condition is met, and the previous signal was not bullish, a "LONG" label is plotted. Similarly, when a bearish condition is met, and the previous signal was not bearish, a "SHORT" label is plotted. This feature helps in clearly marking the points of interest for traders, making it easier to spot potential trades.
Tracking Previous Signals:
To avoid repetitive signals, the script keeps track of the last signal. If the last signal was bullish, it avoids plotting another bullish signal immediately. The same logic applies to bearish signals. This tracking ensures that signals are spaced out and only significant changes in market conditions are highlighted.
How It Works
The script operates in a loop, processing each bar (or candlestick) on the chart as new data comes in. It calculates the MACD and RSI values for each bar and checks if the current conditions meet the criteria for a bullish or bearish signal. If a signal is detected and it is different from the last signal, a label is plotted on the chart at the current bar's price level. This real-time processing allows traders to see the signals as they form, providing timely insights into market movements.
Practical Application
For practical use, a trader would add this script to their TradingView chart. They can customize the input parameters for the MACD and RSI calculations to fit their trading strategy or preferred settings. Once added, the script will automatically analyze the price data and start plotting "LONG" and "SHORT" labels based on the detected signals. Traders can then use these labels to make decisions on entering or exiting trades, adjusting their strategy as necessary based on the signals provided.
Conclusion
The "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" script is a powerful tool for any trader looking to leverage technical indicators for better trading decisions. By combining MACD and RSI, it offers a robust method for detecting market trends and potential reversals. The customizable features and real-time signal plotting make it a versatile and user-friendly addition to any trading toolkit. This script not only simplifies the process of technical analysis but also enhances the accuracy of trading signals, thereby potentially increasing the trader's success rate in the market.
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:
