Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD)

vdubus Wizard

I've been asking for this concept for a while, a simple MA that rides the top side of the trend instead of the bottom, and by accident came across the 'Hull ma' on a TV blog post. I've added another two simple Moving averages to act as strength indicator with close proximity to the price. The strategy is simple MA cross over but with the early indication using...

Here's a modified MACD which uses ZL calculation for the emas, phi adjustment to the fast signal and an optimized period set. It useful because it will give predictive signals for many setups.

This is a port of a famous MT4 indicator, as requested by user @maximus71. This indicator uses MACD/BB to track trend direction and strength. Author suggests using this indicator on 30mins. Explanation from the indicator developer: "Various components of the indicator are: Dead Zone Line: Works as a filter for weak signals. Do not trade when the red or green...

Direct port of the original Fisher Transform to TradingView: media.johnwiley.com.au www.mesasoftware.com This might be better suited to be combined with other indicator to be effective, such as the Fisher Transform of RSI. I hope you have found this useful :) Happy trading. Thanks to @MikeLloyd for referring me to this, and here's my port for you.

Smoothing methods have lag, and since MACD makes use of moving averages, it usually lags behind price. You cannot eliminate lag completely, but one way of working around this is by adding a component of the price/MA difference back to MA. This technique is called Zero-lag (well, almost). "MACD Leader" makes use of this to form a leading signal to MACD. First...

This a modified MAC-Z using Z-VWAP. Since this uses VWAP, the signals are derived indirectly from both volume and price action. I have also included a way to smooth MACZ-VWAP, you can enable it via options page. Note that this will not work on any FX pair, as volume is not available. Referenced indicators: Z-distance from VWAP: MAC-Z Indicator: Z-Score:...

This indicator is a composite of MACD and Z-Score (requested by @ChartAt). The general idea is that counter-trend component of the Z-score is used to adjust/improve the trend component of the MACD. The advantage is that it is a more accurate and “assumption-free” and can more accurately describe how a market or stock actually works in a given time frame. I have...

A while ago I posted a more flexible MACD, known as PPO (See that post for details). Yesterday I had a request by @ChartArt for a Laguerre MACD. Since I favor PPO to MACD, here it is! Completely untested, and not at all price fit. Play with the numbers and leave a comment if you come up with an interesting combination or idea ;)

MACD – Moving Average Convergence Divergence. The MACD is calculated by subtracting a 26-day moving average of a security's price from a 12-day moving average of its price. The result is an indicator that oscillates above and below zero. When the MACD is above zero, it means the 12-day moving average is higher than the 26-day moving...

I have included ports of 2 indicators from MT4 (not from the original commercial source). I couldn't cross check if these matched their commercial equivalents (you need to assume they don't!). If you own any of these in other platforms, appreciate if you could publish some comparison results here. Kase Peak Oscillator is the difference between two trend...

According to Elder, "The Impulse System encourages you to enter a trade cautiously but exit fast, by identifying inflection points where a trend speeds up or slows down. This is the professional approach to trading, the total opposite of the amateur's style. Beginners jump into trades without thinking too much and take forever to get out, hoping and waiting for...
