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.

MACD Crossover with +/- FilterThis is to directly target when MACD crosses the Signal line. The purpose of this script is to target a +/- change of 3 in the MACD value after the most recent cross. It uses the value of the MACD line and holds it until a value of 3.00 + or - a crossover or crossunder happens. That's the significance of the red and green circles that appear on the chart. This is not financial advice, but I wanted to recreate what a friend of mine was doing manually and automate it for him.
The first circle that appears after MACD/SIGNAL lines cross would represent a potential trade idea. The circles after the first one match the intention of the first dot as they meet the condition of more than a value of -3 or +3 as the previous dot.
Inputs:
Standard Inputs as normal MACD (Moving Average Converging Divergence) within TradingView
Fast Length: User can change it to any value they want
Slow Length: User can change it to any value they want
Standard 12, 26, 9 as normal MACD // 9 being signal smoothing
Oscillator and Signal Line moving average type is using EMA's
Timeframe is dependent on user chart.
Circles are used for signaling the change in values. Red indicates a short-term bearish trend. Green indicates a short-term bullish trend.
Tested on lower timeframes:
1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 60m
Not used as much on higher timeframes. Used for trading futures. This is what I use it for. It can be used for other futures than just NQ or ES, but those 2 are the ones that I've tested. Code it shown below for users to tinker with.
Style of indication symbol can be changed via settings within the indicator in the "Style" tab, as well as location of the symbol(s). Additionally, color can be changed as well, if you prefer different colors.
Not financial advice. Just trade ideas.
MACD TrueLevel StrategyThis strategy uses the MACD indicator to determine buy and sell signals. In addition, the strategy employs the use of "TrueLevel Bands," which are essentially envelope bands that are calculated based on the linear regression and standard deviation of the price data over various lengths.
The TrueLevel Bands are calculated for 14 different lengths and are plotted on the chart as lines. The bands are filled with a specified color to make them more visible. The highest upper band and lowest lower band values are stored in variables for easy access.
The user can input the lengths for the TrueLevel Bands and adjust the multiplier for the standard deviation. They can also select the bands they want to use for entry and exit, and enable long and short positions.
The entry conditions for a long position are either a crossover of the MACD line over the signal line or a crossover of the price over the selected entry lower band. The entry conditions for a short position are either a crossunder of the MACD line under the signal line or a crossunder of the price under the selected exit upper band.
The exit conditions for both long and short positions are not specified in the code and are left to the user to define.
Overall, the strategy aims to capture trends by entering long or short positions based on the MACD and TrueLevel Bands, and exiting those positions when the trend reverses.
MACD & RSI Overlay (Expo)█ Overview
The MACD & RSI Overlay (Expo) trading indicator is a technical analysis tool that combines two popular indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI ) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD ), and overlays them onto the price chart. The indicator oscillates relative to price, so it plots the RSI and MACD around price while still displaying the same insights as the regular MACD and RSI indicators. This feature gives traders a unique perspective, allowing them to see the relationship between price, momentum, and trend in a single chart.
This indicator is a valuable addition to any trader's technical analysis toolkit, whether they are a beginner or an experienced trader.
█ MACD
█ RSI
The RSI comes with overbought and oversold areas, which can be set by the trader.
█ MACD & RSI
█ Trend Feature
What sets the MACD & RSI Overlay indicator apart is its ability to factor in the underlying trend. This feature makes the indicator more useful than ever before, as traders can use it to filter trades in the direction of the trend. By considering the underlying trend, traders can gain valuable insights into market trends.
█ Benefits
One of the primary benefits of having the MACD and RSI plotted directly on the price chart is that it provides a more intuitive understanding of the relationship between price, momentum, and trend. Traders can quickly identify the direction of the trend by observing the price movement relative to the MACD and RSI lines. In addition, by having these indicators plotted on the chart, traders can quickly identify potential buy and sell signals and develop new trading strategies.
█ How to use
One of the most popular strategies is to use the MACD & RSI Overlay indicator to look for crossings. A crossing occurs when the MACD and RSI lines cross over each other or when they cross over the signal line. These crossings can signal potential trend reversals and momentum shifts. For example, if the MACD line crosses over the signal line from below, it could indicate a bullish signal, while a cross from above could indicate a bearish signal.

MACD ModifiedIn an attempt to improve the MACD for trading, I have added an alternative way to calculate the MACD Line and Overbought/Oversold (OB/OS) lines to filter signals.
The alternate calculation I named "Modified" and put the option to select it under "MACD Calculation" in the input menu. Traditionally the MACD is calculated as fastEMA - slowEMA, for "Modified" I changed the calculation to ((fastEMA - slowEMA) / slowEMA * 100). The goal of this change is to view the difference in MA as a percent of the slow. The hope is that this will compensate for securities that have had major gains or losses in their history.
For the OB/OS lines, I coded in three different ways to calculate them. Users can select which method they prefer in the input menu. The first is through pivot points. The script records the pivot points into an array and takes the average of the array. There are two arrays, one for the OB line and one for the OS line. I also added filters so it will only record pivots above/below a specific value. The crosses on the indicator are for debugging purposes only. They mark the pivots that were recorded into the arrays. The crosses are offset by the pivot strength and do not provide timely indications. All inputs are adjustable for the pivots in the "Pivots" section of the input menu. The second method for the OB/OS lines I added is Bollinger Bands. The user can choose to put it around the Signal or MACD line. The final method added is simply using the previous high/low pivot of the MACD line.

(MACD-Price) Displaying MACD Indicators on Price Chartshello?
Although it is a simple indicator, I decided to disclose it because I thought it was a pretty useful (?) indicator.
** Others may have previously published indicators similar to this indicator.
** Please understand this.
** All charts or indicators disclosed are not guaranteed to result in profit or loss.
** Therefore, please use it as a reference for your own trading strategy.
(design purpose)
The MACD indicator is a secondary indicator and is located below the price chart.
Accordingly, it is not easy to check along with the price flow.
Therefore, the index has been reorganized to display important factors in interpreting the MACD index according to the price change.
(Metric Description)
- The center line of the EMA line corresponding to the MACD value and the signal value displayed in the MACD indicator is designed to receive the Close value or Open value among prices according to changes in the rise and fall.
- The color of the line displayed in the manner described above is designed to change color when the Histogram passes the zero point, so that you can check whether the current state is in an uptrend or a downtrend.
Uptrend: green
Downtrend: blue
(How to Interpret and Apply)
- Buy when the 'Buy / Sell line' of the MACD-P indicator is level and the color is green, and when it crosses the 'Buy / Sell line' upwards.
- Sell when the 'Buy / Sell line' of the MACD-P indicator is level and the color is blue, and when it crosses below the 'Buy / Sell line'.
MACD Linear Regression by zdmreBoth the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Linear Regression (LR) rank among the most popular momentum indicators used in trading. When used in combination with other technical indicators, both MACD and LR can offer value in validating trade opportunities to optimize your risk management practices.
While they represent a similar approach to evaluating trades, the functions of both MACD and LR are distinct, which makes them useful indicators to combine in trade evaluation. Here’s a look at how to use MACD and LR as part of your trade analysis.

MACD, EMA, Know sure thing, Chopy Market - high adaptabilityHey there :)
This is the free version of the script. The following indicators / settings are missing:
- Support and resistance zones
- dynamic textboxes for alarms when using bots (3 Commas, Alertatron, etc.)
- a table showing the current position, indicators and other important information
With this script there is the possibility to completely customize the MACD . Starting with the MACD and signal line, the histogram and the color of the histogram.
Since the Pinecoders team has previously deleted the script, I will mention the fee settings in a bit more detail:
In this script a fee of 0.01% and a slipage of 15 was used. With each trade the total capital (100%) is used with a risk reward of 1 to 1.5.
The total capital, i.e. the risk, can be changed at any time under the "Settings" tab at "Equity".
I also added an EMA , the Know sure thing indicator and the Chopy Market indicator (by TradingRush) to the script to filter out bad trades.
The EMA:
Since the EMA is very reliable and shows whether there is an upward or downward trend, it should be used with the indicators in any case. It prevents long trades in downward movements and vice versa.
The KST Indicator:
The KST indicator has a similar movement as the MACD, but is by and large a bit more time delayed. It filters out false swings of the MACD and thus prevents bad trades.
The Chopy Market Indicator by Tradingrush:
The Chopy Market indicator, which was introduced by TradingRush in one of its videos, has the ability to detect sideways markets and block zones below this line for trades by means of a fixed value (the line).
To exit the trades, I added the following options:
ATR Exits. Exits based on past candles (lowest low, highest high).
Static exits based on set percentages.
In the next days I will create a tutorial for the script, just have a look on my profile.
If you have any questions about the script, let me know.
MACD BandsThis is MACD indicator on the price chart. You can read the same information as the original MACD but much more.
You can use it the same way as MACD but it won't use any space below your chart. Also you can use signal line and cloud as trend confirmation: e.g. if above them it can be a stronger uptrend.
The signal line (yellow by default) can be used as a support-resistance line.
If teal line is above maroon line, MACD is positive, otherwise it is negative
MACD value is the width of the cloud
Cloud color is green when MACD histogram is positive, red if negative
You can change MA types
MACD and histogram values can be seen in Data Window
MACD 50x Leveraged Strategy Real Equity Simulation Hello, I wrote this script to merge the two scripts I shared before.
The aim here is to see the real value of the state of the capital as a result of leveraged transactions and to combine both long and short directions.
Scripts :
MACD Long 50x Leverage Strategy :
MACD Short 50x Leverage Strategy :
The parameters have not changed so they are the same as the previous two scripts:
Adding margin: Forbidden or not specified. (Add Margin : No)
Position Size : %1 (0.01) (For each trade)
Stop-Loss : %2 (For each trade)
Long : Crossover(delta,0) (Standard MACD)
Long Exit : Long Stop Level or Short Entry
(In the case of Long Stop, all trades are closed and no positions are opened in short direction.)
Short : Crossunder(delta,0) (Standard MACD)
Short Exit : Short Stop or Long Entry
(In the case of Short Stop, all trades are closed and no positions are opened in the long direction.)
NOTE :
This is a simulation made using standard parameters, showing the state of the balance in very simple rules with leveraged transactions only.
The nice thing here is the direct observation of the results by making modifications on the strategy parameters.
Regards.
MACD with Lines - ChartWhat is MACD with Lines - Chart and why do you need it?
I use it for chart analysis to identify key macd /signal levels from which bullish / bearish market structure continues to develop.
Chart means that every Macd /Signal cross above/below the signal lines will be notified on your Chart and not on your MACD Indicator. To see them on your chart please choose "MACD with Lines - Default" in my library.
Once Signal, Macd or the Histogramm cross over or under your upper or lower signal line you will see background colors which you can adjust in the settings menu.
This small indicator is for a larger project which will be uploaded in several days/weeks.

MACD With Trend Filter: Visual Backtest Module TemplateSample Strategy: MACD Crossover with trend filter options
MA Filter : Price Close Above MA, Search for Buy, Price Close Below MA, Search for Sell
ADX Filter : Take trade only when ADX is above certain treshold
MACD Signal : MACD Cross above signal line while under 0 line indicate Buy Signal
MACD Cross below signal line while above 0 line indicate Sell Signal
-----------------------------
Using Alert Module:
Enable Alert --> Enable TV's alert and plot signal to chart
Alert Type --> Set to take Buy only, Sell only or Both alert
----------------------------
Using Backtest Module:
Enable Backtest --> Enable Backtest simulation
Backtest Type --> Set to take Buy only, Sell only or Both
SL Type -->
ATR : Set SL in ATR times Multiplier below/above entry price
Fixed : Set SL in fixed point below entry point (in 'Dollar'). e.g. for Stocks -> 0.5 equals to 50cent while for EURUSD currency -> 0.005 equal to 50 pips
HiLo Bar : Set SL at highest/lowest wick of previous bar plus/minus Fixed point. e.g. EURUSD HiLo=3 and Fixed Point = 0.0005, buy trade will place SL 5 Pips below lowest of previous 3 bar
SL ATR Period --> Set Lookback Period used for SL's ATR calculation
SL ATR Multi --> Set ATR Multiplier for SL
SL Fixed --> Set Fixed Level for SL (Use when SL Type is either Fixed or HiLo Bar)
SL Bar --> Set Number of previous bar to check for SL placement
TP RR Ratio --> Set TP based on RR multiplier. e.g. 2 means TP level will be twice further from entry point compared to Entry-SL distance.
Notes: The point is for preliminary testing, so it only supports 1 trade at a time and no Trailing Stop
----------------------------
Disclaimer:
This script main objective is to create my personal indicator template so that i just have to modify the indicator module for preliminary testing in future.
Testing Alert Module so i can re-use it as template in future study/indicator
Testing Visual Backtest Module so i can re-use it as template in future study/indicator
i believe using Strategy function is a better approach for this but the entry/exit level seems to be hit n miss (at least for me, still trying to figure what i did wrong)
also, i rather code the strategy in other platform where i can use the more accurate tick data if i want to validate backtest statistics.
My study scripts was built only to test/visualize an idea to see its viability and if it can be used to optimize existing strategy.
credit: ADX code are originally from "ADX and DI" by @BeikabuOyaji although i re-wrote so i can have cleaner read and use RMA instead of SMA

MACD Trend Following Strategy How it work ?
Work like normal MACD because this is MACD without any modify but i add color of candlestick and strategy.
The color meaning :
Green= macd > signal and macd>0 (Buy)
Red= macd < signal and macd<0 (Sell)
Yellow= macd > signal and macd<0 (Maybe reversal point)
Blue= macd < signal and macd>0 (Maybe reversal point)
Feature
- Back test range
- Long/Short option
- Modifiable MACD Setting
MACD Divergence Tops + BottomsMACD Indicator which plots local peaks and troughs in divergence.
"Classic" Divergence is specified as:
- A higher price, with reduced MACD high --> Potential Sell Point
- A lower price, with higher MACD low --> Potential Buy Point
"Alternative" Divergence is specified as:
- A higher MACD high, with reduced price --> Potential Sell Point
- A lower MACD low, with higher price --> Potential Buy Point
MACD Divergence should be used in combination with other indicators. This indicator identifies local tops and bottoms, with potential for macro trend shifts.
MACD Enhanced System MTF with optional TSL and Alerts [LTB]This script is developed to analyse MACD, MACD Signal, MACD Histogram movements by using current and higher time frame. Script calculates higher time frame automatically, no manuel entry. there is trailing stop loss line that is optional.
You can change the parameters as you wish.
btw. you should know that MACD is more successful when there is a trend.
I already shared this as a strategy script. Some ppl wanted to see the code.

Zero-Lag MACD/PPOMACD/PPO Indicator, with optional faster EMA's to reduce lag.
-Use "MA TYPE" to select SMA, EMA, Double-EMA, Triple-EMA, or Hull as the MACD Source. Default is 'EMA'.
-Use "FAST MA" and "SLOW MA" to set the fast and slow period lengths.
-Use "SIGNAL TYPE" to select SMA, EMA, Double-EMA, Triple-EMA, or Hull as the Signal formula. Default is 'EMA'.
-Use "SIGNAL LENGTH" to set the Signal period length.
-Use "HIST. SIZE" to change the scaling of the histogram and make it stand out more.
-Use "COLOR SIGNALS" to select when to signal green/red on the MACD line.
--- "None" is always black.
--- "Over/Under" will signal based on MACD being over or under the Signal line.
--- "Rising/Falling" will signal based on MACD being over/under the Signal line and both are rising/falling.
-Use "PPO INSTEAD" to use Price Percent Oscillator scaling (works better for long-term and large price fluctuation).
MACD with Directional ColorsThis MACD indicator colors the MACD and signal lines according to the direction they are moving.
- Eliminates the histogram from the traditional MACD indicator.
- Uses a histogram for the MACD line.
- Includes Bollinger Bands for the MACD line to help detect squeezes
MACD (4 Color, Color-Blind Friendly)Working MACD Histogram which colors bars based on the slope from the previous. The default colors will work for both Deuteranopia and Protonopia color-blind people but can be modified.
There is a bug with 'MACD 4C' by vkno422 + signal line - squattter and 'MACD for colour blind people' by cfhrtd in that it draws the MACD line itself as a histogram, rather than drawing an MACD histogram (which is the MACD line - signal line).
Bad indicators that this should replace:
MACD + Stochastic, Double Strategy (by ChartArt)This strategy combines the classic stochastic strategy to buy when the stochastic is oversold with a classic MACD strategy to buy when the MACD histogram value goes above the zero line. Only difference to the classic stochastic is a default setting of 71 for overbought (classic setting 80) and 29 for oversold (classic setting 20).
Therefore this strategy goes long if the MACD histogram goes above zero and the stochastic indicator detects a oversold condition (value below 29). If the inverse logic is true, the strategy goes short (stochastic overbought condition with a value above 71 and the MACD histogram falling below the zero line value).
Please be aware that this pure double strategy using simply two classic indicators does not have any stop loss or take profit money management logic.
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 + 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.
