Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD)

Momentum AlertsThe Momentum Alerts indicator is an advanced, alert-only tool meticulously designed for traders who demand robust confirmation of bullish market conditions. Unlike traditional indicators that clutter your chart with lines and plots, this indicator operates discreetly in the background, providing timely notifications only when a powerful and broad-based bullish momentum confluence is detected. Its primary function is to distill complex market dynamics into a clear, actionable signal, allowing you to focus on high-conviction trading opportunities. This sophisticated indicator integrates the analysis of twelve distinct momentum oscillators, each evaluated for its bullish posture. It draws upon the methodologies of widely recognized tools such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), MACD Convergence/Divergence, Awesome Oscillator (AO), Stochastic Oscillator, Money Flow Index (MFI), Commodity Channel Index (CCI), Average Directional Index (ADX), Williams Percent Range (%R), Vortex Indicator, Fisher Transform, Rate of Change (ROC), and the Triple EMA Oscillator (TRIX). The indicator continuously assesses each of these components, identifying when they individually signal a bullish condition, represented as a "green" state. The core strength of the Momentum Alerts indicator lies in its stringent confluence requirement. An alert is triggered exclusively when all twelve of these momentum indicators are simultaneously signaling bullish conditions. This comprehensive alignment signifies an exceptionally strong underlying momentum, providing a high-quality signal for potential long entries. To offer subtle visual confirmation without interfering with your chart analysis, a small rocket icon (🚀) will appear in the top-right corner of your screen whenever this powerful bullish momentum confluence is active. To utilize this indicator, simply add it to your TradingView chart. As it is an alert-only system, you will then configure an alert by selecting the "Momentum Confluence Alert" condition. This setup ensures you receive instant notifications, enabling you to react promptly to the rare yet potent instances when the market exhibits such widespread bullish momentum. The Momentum Alerts indicator is an invaluable asset for traders seeking to capitalize on strong, confirmed bullish trends with precision and minimal visual distraction.

Triple MACD MomentumWhat This Indicator Does Triple MACD Momentum is a multi-layer momentum confluence indicator that runs three independent MACD calculations — each tuned to a different speed cycle — and displays them as nested histogram columns within a single pane. Rather than requiring a trader to open three separate MACD indicators and mentally cross-reference them, it unifies the reading into one visual structure and adds a composite momentum score that numerically quantifies cross-layer agreement. The three layers operate at short, medium, and long-term horizons. Their histograms are painted one inside the other (widest in the back, narrowest in front), and dynamic gradient coloring on each layer independently reflects whether momentum within that cycle is accelerating or decelerating. The indicator also provides six dedicated alert conditions, optional background shading on full alignment, and a user-toggleable anti-repainting gate — all computed directly on chart data without any request.security() calls. How It Works The indicator computes three standard MACD lines (fast EMA minus slow EMA), each with its own configurable fast length, slow length, signal smoothing length, and price source. -Layer A (Short-term) uses default parameters 8/12/9. This is the most responsive layer. Its fast EMA (8) reacts within a few bars to price changes, while the slow EMA (12) provides the baseline. The resulting MACD line oscillates quickly around zero and captures intrabar and intraday momentum shifts. Because the spread between fast and slow is only 4 bars, this layer will cross zero frequently — that is intentional. It is designed to show every momentum impulse, including minor ones, so the trader can evaluate them in the context of the slower layers. -Layer B (Medium-term) uses default parameters 16/30/9. The fast EMA (16) is roughly double Layer A's, creating a natural harmonic relationship. The slow EMA (30) provides a wider baseline that filters out the minor swings that Layer A captures. When Layer B crosses zero, it typically represents a momentum shift that persists for multiple sessions rather than a single bar — it is the "noise filter" that separates meaningful swings from intraday chop. The 16/30 spread (14 bars) is approximately 3.5x wider than Layer A's spread, ensuring it responds to genuinely different market dynamics rather than just being a lagged version of Layer A. -Layer C (Long-term) uses default parameters 50/80/9. This is the structural layer. The 50-period fast EMA aligns with the widely-watched 50-period moving average that institutional traders and algorithms monitor. The 80-period slow EMA establishes the macro trend baseline. When Layer C is above zero, the dominant trend is bullish at a multi-week to multi-month scale (on daily charts); when below zero, the structural bias is bearish. Zero-line crosses on this layer are relatively rare events — they represent genuine regime shifts in market momentum. Because these crosses happen infrequently, each one carries significantly more weight than a Layer A or B cross. All calculations use ta.macd() directly on the chart's price data. No request.security() is involved anywhere — the indicator reads only from the symbol and timeframe already loaded on the chart. This eliminates an entire category of repainting risk that arises from security context mismatches, lookahead settings, or real-time vs. historical data divergence in multi-security calls. The Anti-Repaint Gate Beyond avoiding request.security(), the indicator includes a dedicated "Wait for Bar Close" toggle (enabled by default) in the System settings group. When active, it uses barstate.isconfirmed to gate every value the indicator produces — MACD lines, signal lines, histogram values, momentum score, gradient coloring decisions, and alert evaluations. On the current forming (unclosed) bar, the indicator displays the previous confirmed bar's state instead of the live-updating values. The moment that bar closes and becomes confirmed, the indicator updates to reflect the new confirmed data. On historical bars, barstate.isconfirmed is always true, so this mechanism has zero impact on backtesting — it only affects the single live bar on a real-time chart. This means that if you screenshot a signal today and check it tomorrow, it will be in the same place with the same color. Traders who prefer to see live intra-bar updates can disable this toggle, understanding that the current bar's values may shift until close. Momentum Score Calculation The momentum score is a composite number that translates visual histogram information into a single numeric value. For each enabled layer, two components are evaluated: 1. Directional component: If the MACD line is above zero, the layer contributes +1 (bullish structural bias); if below zero, it contributes -1 (bearish structural bias). This captures the position of price momentum relative to its own moving average equilibrium. 2. Acceleration component: If the MACD line is above its own signal line, an additional +0.25 is added (momentum is accelerating or maintaining strength); if below the signal line, -0.25 is applied (momentum is decelerating or weakening). This is a subtler measure — a layer can be bullish (above zero) but decelerating (below its signal line), which is a common pre-reversal condition. With all three layers enabled, the score ranges from -3.75 (all bearish and decelerating) to +3.75 (all bullish and accelerating). The fractional granularity means you can distinguish between, for example, "all layers bullish but Layer A is losing steam" (+2.75) vs. "all layers bullish and all accelerating" (+3.75) — a distinction that is difficult to make visually from histogram columns alone. Gradient Coloring Mechanics Each layer's histogram bars are colored not just by polarity (above/below zero) but by whether the histogram value is growing or shrinking compared to the previous bar. This is implemented by comparing the current bar's histogram to the prior bar's histogram (both gated through the anti-repaint mechanism): - When the histogram is growing (current > previous for bullish, or current < previous for bearish), the bar color is rendered at full brightness — momentum in that layer is accelerating. - When the histogram is shrinking (moving back toward zero), the bar color dims to 50% transparency — momentum in that layer is decelerating. This is functionally equivalent to monitoring the first derivative of the MACD histogram, which itself is the first derivative of the MACD line, which is the difference between two EMAs of price. In practical terms, the gradient coloring reflects the rate of change of momentum's rate of change. That may sound abstract, but visually it is intuitive: bright bars mean the trend is pushing harder, dim bars mean it is losing energy. You will typically see a sequence of bright bars at the start of a move, transitioning to dim bars as the move matures, before the MACD line eventually crosses zero. The gradient gives you that early read. Underlying Concepts Multi-Cycle Momentum Decomposition Markets generate price movements across multiple overlapping cycles simultaneously. A single MACD captures one frequency band determined by its parameter set. The fundamental limitation is that short parameters generate many signals (high sensitivity, low specificity — many false positives), while long parameters generate few signals (low sensitivity, high specificity — but late entries and exits). Neither alone solves the core problem of distinguishing a genuine trend initiation from a temporary counter-trend bounce. Triple MACD Momentum addresses this by decomposing momentum into three frequency bands with harmonically-related parameters. "Harmonically-related" means the fast EMA lengths scale in approximate ratios (8 → 16 → 50, roughly 1x → 2x → 6x), so each layer responds to genuinely different market dynamics rather than overlapping time horizons. This creates a three-tier filter: - Layer A catches the impulse first (sensitivity) - Layer B confirms it is not just noise (intermediate filter) - Layer C confirms the structural trend supports it (specificity) When all three agree, the probability of a sustained directional move increases substantially because momentum at every measured frequency is pointing the same way. When they disagree — particularly when Layer A diverges from Layer C — it reveals that short-term price action is moving against the dominant trend, a condition that often precedes either a reversal or a temporary pullback followed by trend continuation. Confluence as a Probability Filter The momentum score formalizes what experienced discretionary traders do intuitively: weigh multiple confirming signals to assess conviction. A score of +3.75 does not guarantee price will rise, but it quantifies a state where short, medium, and long-term momentum all agree and are all accelerating — a relatively rare alignment that, empirically, tends to produce stronger directional follow-through than any single MACD reading alone. Conversely, a score near zero reveals genuine indecision across timescales — a state where entering directional trades carries higher risk because no dominant momentum regime exists. Acceleration vs. Deceleration: Leading vs. Lagging Information A standard MACD crossing zero is a lagging event — by the time the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, price has already reversed by a meaningful amount. The gradient coloring in this indicator provides a leading element: you can observe momentum decelerating (histogram bars dimming) well before the zero cross occurs. This does not predict the future, but it tells you that the current rate of momentum change is decreasing. In physical terms, it is the difference between an object still moving forward but slowing down (decelerating) versus one that has actually reversed direction (zero cross). Seeing deceleration first gives traders time to tighten stops, reduce position size, or prepare for a potential exit — actions that a zero-cross-only approach would trigger too late. Why Three Layers Instead of Two (or Four) Two layers (short + long) capture directional agreement but miss the intermediate filter. This often results in situations where the short layer flips frequently while the long layer stays steady, giving ambiguous signals during transitional phases. The medium layer resolves this: it confirms that the short layer's signal is more than noise but hasn't yet become a structural shift — it occupies the analytically useful middle ground. Four or more layers would add visual complexity without proportional information gain. Three layers cover the primary momentum cycles that most market participants react to: intraday/scalping (Layer A), session/daily (Layer B), and weekly/monthly (Layer C). Additional layers would subdivide these same cycles with diminishing marginal insight. What Makes It Original Several open-source indicators display multiple MACDs. This indicator differs from those in the following specific ways: - Numeric confluence quantification: Most multi-MACD indicators leave interpretation entirely visual. The momentum score converts three-layer agreement into a single number with defined ranges, enabling objective threshold-based analysis and alerting. A trader can set a rule like "I only take long entries when score is above +2.0" — something not possible with visual-only multi-MACD tools. - Acceleration-aware coloring: Standard MACD histograms use fixed colors for above/below zero. This indicator's gradient coloring adds the histogram's direction (growing vs. shrinking) as a visual dimension, providing deceleration warnings that standard coloring cannot show. The bright-to-dim transition within a bullish or bearish phase is a distinct visual signal not present in conventional MACD presentations. - Transparent anti-repaint architecture: The barstate.isconfirmed gate is exposed as a user-facing toggle with a detailed tooltip, not hidden in the code logic. This lets traders make an informed decision about the repaint/responsiveness tradeoff and ensures that the indicator's behavior is fully transparent. All downstream calculations — score, coloring, alignment, and alerts — flow through this gate. - Harmonic parameter design: The defaults are not arbitrary. The 8/16/50 fast EMA progression creates approximately 1x/2x/6x harmonic scaling, ensuring each layer responds to a different market cycle rather than slightly shifted versions of the same one. The slow EMAs (12/30/80) maintain proportional spreads that produce meaningful MACD oscillation amplitude at each scale. - Alert architecture tied to confluence events: The six alert conditions focus on multi-layer events (full alignment formed, alignment broken, score threshold crossings) rather than single-layer crossovers. This means alerts fire on confluent events that carry more analytical weight than individual MACD crosses. How to Use It Reading the histogram layers The chart displays three sets of histogram columns overlaid from back to front. Layer C (long-term) uses white for bullish and black for bearish, rendering as the widest column. Layer B (medium-term) uses dark green for bullish and dark red for bearish, rendering slightly narrower. Layer A (short-term) uses bright green for bullish and bright red for bearish, rendering as the narrowest column in the foreground. This nesting creates a visual "traffic light" where you can see all three layers' directional state on every bar without any interpretation effort. When all columns on a bar share the same polarity (all above or all below zero), momentum is aligned across all three cycles. When they diverge — for example, Layer C (wide white column) extends above zero while Layer A (narrow red column) drops below zero — you are looking at a short-term pullback within a structurally bullish environment. This specific pattern often precedes a continuation opportunity once Layer A re-aligns upward. Interpreting the momentum score The numeric label displays the composite score on the last bar. Use it as a quick directional conviction check: - +3.0 to +3.75: Maximum bullish confluence. All layers bullish and at least some are accelerating. This is the strongest possible momentum regime. Pullbacks in this state tend to be shallow and short-lived. - +2.0 to +2.99: Strong bullish bias. Most layers agree, though one may be decelerating. Trend-following entries still favorable, but position sizing may be slightly more conservative than in the +3.0 zone. - +1.0 to +1.99: Mild bullish bias. Typically one layer disagrees or multiple layers are decelerating. The trend exists but lacks full conviction — suitable for reduced-size positions or waiting for higher confirmation. - -0.99 to +0.99: Neutral zone. Layers are mixed or offsetting each other. Directional trades in this zone carry elevated risk because no dominant momentum regime is established. Consider this a "no-trade" or "range-trade" zone for directional momentum traders. - -1.0 to -1.99: Mild bearish bias. Mirror of the +1 to +2 zone. - -2.0 to -2.99: Strong bearish bias. Mirror of the +2 to +3 zone. - -3.0 to -3.75: Maximum bearish confluence. Mirror of the +3 to +3.75 zone. Using gradient coloring for timing The transition from bright to dim bars within a layer is one of the indicator's most actionable patterns. Here are specific situations to watch: - Entry timing: After all layers align bullish, wait for Layer A to show a sequence of dimming bars (deceleration) followed by a return to bright bars. That transition from dim back to bright indicates that a pullback has completed and momentum is re-accelerating in the trend direction — often a higher-quality entry point than the initial alignment. - Exit or tighten stops: When Layer A and Layer B both begin dimming simultaneously while still in bullish territory, the move is maturing. If Layer C also starts dimming, the entire momentum structure is decelerating — a condition that frequently precedes a meaningful correction or reversal. Setting and using alerts Six alert conditions are available in the indicator's alert menu: - Full Bullish Alignment / Full Bearish Alignment: Fires when all enabled layers simultaneously cross into the same polarity for the first time. This is the "all green lights" or "all red lights" event. Useful for swing traders monitoring multiple instruments — set this alert on your watchlist and only check the chart when alignment forms. - Alignment Formed / Alignment Lost: A broader version — "Formed" fires when any full alignment (bullish or bearish) begins; "Lost" fires when a previously aligned state breaks (at least one layer diverges). The "Lost" alert is particularly useful as a risk management trigger: if you entered on alignment and alignment breaks, it may be time to re-evaluate the position. - Strong Bullish Score / Strong Bearish Score: Fires when the momentum score crosses the +2.5 or -2.5 threshold from the weaker side. These are threshold-based alerts for traders who use the numeric score as an objective entry filter. All alerts operate on gated (anti-repaint) values when the anti-repaint setting is enabled, meaning they will only fire after the bar closes and confirms. Adjusting parameters for different markets and timeframes The defaults (8/12/9, 16/30/9, 50/80/9) are calibrated for general-purpose use on 5m to Daily charts across liquid markets. If you trade on very short timeframes (1m-3m), consider increasing Layer A's slow EMA from 12 to 17-21 to reduce noise from microstructure volatility. If you trade weekly charts, consider increasing Layer C's signal length from 9 to 14 to reduce whipsaw crossovers that lack structural significance on that timeframe. The key principle when adjusting: maintain meaningful separation between layers. If Layer A's slow EMA gets too close to Layer B's fast EMA, the two layers begin measuring the same momentum cycle and the confluence reading becomes redundant rather than additive. Combining with other analysis This indicator is most effective as a momentum confluence confirmation layer within a broader methodology. It tells you what momentum is doing across multiple cycles but does not identify price levels, volume patterns, or market structure on its own. Practical combinations include using it alongside horizontal support/resistance levels (enter when momentum aligns at a key level), volume profile (confirm that momentum alignment coincides with high-volume nodes), or candlestick patterns (use Layer A gradient transitions to validate reversal candle signals). Avoid combining it with other oscillators that measure similar things (like RSI or Stochastic) — adding another momentum oscillator would be redundant rather than complementary. Suitability Markets: Suitable for any liquid market — Forex pairs (majors and liquid crosses), Cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, and major altcoins on established exchanges), Stocks (equities with adequate daily volume), Futures (equity indices, commodities, rates), and broad market Indices. Illiquid markets with wide spreads or thin order books may produce unreliable MACD readings on lower timeframes due to price gaps and erratic tick-level movements. Timeframes and trading styles: - Momentum scalping (1m to 5m): Use Layer A as the primary trigger within the structural bias set by Layer C. The gradient coloring on Layer A provides entry-to-exit timing within individual momentum impulses lasting minutes. Focus on score above +2.0 (or below -2.0) before initiating a scalp in that direction. Because scalping on these timeframes involves rapid decisions, consider disabling the anti-repaint gate for real-time intra-bar responsiveness, understanding that signals may shift before bar close. - Intraday momentum trading (5m to 15m): All three layers contribute meaningfully. Layer C establishes the session bias (is the day trending or ranging?), Layer B confirms the dominant intraday swing direction, and Layer A provides entry timing. Keep anti-repaint enabled for signal reliability. The gradient coloring on Layer B is particularly useful here — dimming on Layer B during an intraday trend signals that the current swing is maturing. - Day trading (15m to 1H): At this resolution, Layer B becomes the primary directional tool and Layer A serves as an entry optimizer. Layer C acts as a structural backdrop — if Layer C is bearish on the 1H chart, bullish signals from A and B are counter-trend trades with lower probability. Set "Alignment Formed" and "Alignment Lost" alerts to monitor transitions without watching every bar. - Swing trading (4H to Daily): Layer C zero-line crosses become significant swing trade signals. When Layer C crosses above zero and Layer B confirms by also being above zero, a multi-day to multi-week bullish swing is likely underway. Layer A's gradient coloring identifies pullback entries within the swing. Consider increasing Layer C's signal length to 12-14 on the Daily to reduce minor whipsaws. - Position trading (Daily to Weekly): Focus primarily on Layer C and the momentum score. A score transition from negative to above +2.0 on the Daily or Weekly chart signals a potential regime change worth investigating for longer-term allocation. Layer A and B serve as timing tools for entry and exit within the position. On Weekly charts, all signal lengths may benefit from being increased to 12-14. Disclaimer This indicator is a technical analysis tool provided for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or a solicitation to trade. No indicator, regardless of its complexity or the number of confirming layers, can predict future market direction with certainty. All signals generated — including alignment events, momentum scores, and gradient color transitions — reflect historical and current price data; they do not guarantee future performance. Always apply proper risk management, define your position sizing relative to account equity before entering any trade, and use this indicator as one component within a complete trading methodology. Past performance observed on backtests or historical charts does not ensure similar results in live markets due to slippage, spread variability, liquidity conditions, and changing market regimes.

3D MACD Bar Plot [LuxAlgo]The 3D MACD Bar Plot indicator provides a multi-dimensional visualization of MACD values across a user-defined range of fast and slow EMA lengths. By projecting these values into a 3D grid, the tool allows traders to observe momentum clusters and identify robust trends that persist across various parameter settings. 🔶 USAGE The indicator aims to solve the problem of "parameter sensitivity" by showing the MACD histogram for many different settings simultaneously. Instead of looking at a single (12, 26, 9) MACD, users can see a surface of momentum. 🔹 Identifying Momentum Clusters When the majority of the 3D bars are tall and colored with the bullish color, it indicates a "momentum cluster" where most EMA combinations agree on a strong uptrend. Conversely, a mix of small bullish and bearish bars suggests a choppy or transitioning market where different settings are providing conflicting signals. 🔹 Trend Robustness A robust trend is visible when the entire 3D surface slopes steeply in one direction. If only a small corner of the grid (specific EMA combinations) is showing strength while the rest remains flat, the trend may be fragile or limited to a specific timeframe/sensitivity. 🔹 3D Projection The script uses a pseudo-3D isometric projection. The Fast Axis represents variations in the Fast EMA length. The Slow Axis represents variations in the Slow EMA length. The Height (Z-axis) represents the resulting MACD value (Fast EMA - Slow EMA). 🔶 DETAILS The tool calculates a matrix of MACD values by iterating through the "Step" values provided in the settings. It then maps these values to a 2D coordinate system on the chart to create the illusion of depth. To maintain performance and visual clarity, the script uses a snaking polyline algorithm to draw the grid and surface. The bars also feature dynamic transparency: bars further back in the "depth" of the 3D space are more transparent, helping the user focus on the overall shape of the momentum surface rather than individual lines. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Grid Configuration Fast Min/Max/Step : Defines the range and increments for the Fast EMA lengths used in the calculation. Slow Min/Max/Step : Defines the range and increments for the Slow EMA lengths used in the calculation. 🔹 3D Projection Settings Y Baseline Price : Adjusts the vertical anchor point of the 3D plot. X Spacing (bars) : Controls the horizontal spread between the 3D grid points. Z Height : Scales the height of the MACD bars relative to the grid spacing. 🔹 Style Bullish/Bearish Color : Sets the colors for positive and negative MACD bars. Grid Color : Controls the color of the connecting surface lines and the base grid.

MACD - Trend & Signals with ArrowsThis isn't just another MACD to clutter your chart. I designed this Hybrid MACD Script specifically to solve the "indicator fatigue" that happens when trading multiple asset classes. Most MACD scripts require you to squint at the lines to see if a crossover actually happened; this script automates the detection and organizes the data into a clean, actionable HUD. The Hybrid Edge: Why This Version? Standard MACD indicators often fail in high-volatility environments (like Options or Forex) because the "cross" is hard to time visually. This program bridges that gap. 1. Key Logic & Signal Mechanics The script uses a dual-signal confirmation system that is hard-coded into the visual output: The Momentum HUD (Right) : Instead of calculating the trend slope in your head, the table uses a real-time logical check. If macdLine > 0, the trend is classified as BULLISH. This is critical for Stock and Fund traders who need to filter out "fake" bounces that occur below the zero line. The Delta-Histogram : Unlike basic histograms, this one tracks velocity change. Dark Green/Red: Momentum is accelerating. Light Green/Red: Momentum is exhausting (The "Squeeze" phase). Precision Entry Arrows : The plotshape function is tied to ta.crossover. These arrows only appear at the close of the candle, ensuring you don't jump into a trade on a "repainting" signal. 2. Strategic Application For Options & Scalping The Histogram Gradient is your exit signal. If you are long on a Call option and the histogram changes from Dark Green to Light Green, the program is telling you that the rate of change is slowing down. Even if price is still moving up, the Greeks (specifically Delta) will start working against you. For Forex & Trend Following Use the Zero-Line Filter. High Probability: Only take Green Arrows if the MACD Line is already above 0. Reversal Play: Look for Red Arrows when the MACD Line is significantly extended from the 0 axis—the "Value Area." 3. How to Use This Script Effectively Stop Loss Placement: When a Red Arrow appears, the recent swing high is your mathematical ceiling. Divergence Detection: If price makes a higher high, but the Momentum Value in the Dashboard table is lower than the previous peak, you are looking at a classic bearish divergence. Cross-Asset Optimization: Stocks/Funds: Keep the default 12, 26, 9 settings. Crypto/Options: Consider tightening to 10, 20, 7 for faster reaction to "flash" moves.

4 in 1 - MA, MACD, Stochastic and RSIIt consolidates four of the most popular technical analysis tools into a single script. It displays the Moving Averages on the main chart (Overlay) and stacks the MACD, Stochastic, and RSI into a single bottom panel using vertical offsets. This script uses Vertical Offsets to prevent the lines from overlapping: RSI lives at 0 - 100. Stochastic lives at 120 - 220 (It adds +120 to the values). MACD lives around 300 (It adds +300 to the values). Note: Do not rely on the specific numbers on the far right Y-axis for the MACD or Stochastic, as they have been artificially shifted up. Rely on the visual crossovers and the relative position of the lines.

Auto-Lensed MACD + Z-Score v8.2The AL-MACD represents a departure from static technical analysis. While traditional oscillators use fixed mathematical constants, this indicator treats the market as a living, breathing cycle that requires a dynamic "Lens" to view clearly. 1. The Core Innovation: The Adaptive Lens Standard MACDs are often "too fast" in volatile markets (causing noise) or "too slow" in trending markets (causing lag). How it works: The script constantly measures the distance between recent price pivots to determine the Market Tempo. The Result: It automatically recalculates its own Fast, Slow, and Signal lengths. If the market cycle compresses, the MACD tightens to catch the move; if the cycle expands, the MACD smooths out to avoid fakeouts. 2. Statistical Extremity (Z-Score Integration) We integrated a price-based Z-Score (Standard Deviation) logic to provide a "Mean Reversion" layer. Normalization: The Z-Score is normalized to the MACD scale so that the threshold bands breathe with the momentum. Exhaustion Coloring: The histogram turns Aqua or Magenta when the price is statistically overextended (sigma>2.0 SD). This tells you a move is "out of breath" even before a reversal begins. 3. Signal Intelligence & Noise Reduction To solve the "dot cluster" problem common in divergence indicators, we implemented a Quiet Build architecture: ATR Magnitude Filter: Divergences are ignored if the price move between pivots is too small to be significant. Signal Cooldown: A mandatory "rest period" (default 15 bars) prevents the script from firing repeated signals during a slow grind. Slope Filter: Ignores signals if the MACD momentum is essentially flat. 4. Visual Interface & Dashboard The Dashboard: Provides a real-time "Flight Deck" including Lens Speed, Price Z-Score, and current Adaptive Lengths. Timeframe Recommendations: A dynamic "Rec Pivot" feature that tells the user exactly which structural settings to use based on the current chart interval (15s vs. Daily). Sniper Alerts: A confluence-based alert system that only triggers when a Divergence meets a Z-Score extremity—the "A+ Setup." 5. Strategy Cheat Sheet Signal Market Context Action Histogram Color Shift Z-Score sigma> 2.0 Alert: Market is overextended. "R" Triangle + Magenta/Aqua Divergence at Extremity Entry: High-conviction mean reversion (The Sniper). Rising Lens Speed Cycle lengths are increasing Wait: Market is entering a slow, trending grind. Falling Lens Speed Cycle lengths are decreasing Prep: Volatility is coiling; expect a fast move.

Squared9 Pro v1Squared9 Pro v1.0 (strategy) combines classic Gann geometry with modern momentum checks to find high-conviction reversal zones. The strategy requires: 1. Price to be within a user-defined percentage of Gann levels (based on recent pivot highs/lows and Square of Nine calculations). 2. Divergence on Stochastic and/or MACD (price and indicator moving in opposite directions). 3. Current price to respect the trend direction on a higher timeframe EMA. 4. A candle with a strong body relative to its range. Here's what it looks for: - Price is close to important Gann levels (calculated from recent swing highs/lows using Square of Nine math — shown as colored horizontal lines). - Stochastic and MACD indicators show divergence (price makes new high/low but indicators do not — a classic reversal clue). - The overall trend on a higher timeframe (default 4-hour) supports the trade direction via a 50-period EMA filter. - The current candle has a strong directional body (not a doji or tiny range — minimum body size is adjustable). When these line up, a green triangle appears below the bar for a potential long entry, or a red triangle above for short. Stop-loss and take-profit are set automatically using ATR multiples (default 1.7× for stop, 3.2× for target), with an optional trailing stop. All settings (lookback periods, tolerances, ATR multipliers, etc.) can be changed in the inputs panel. This script is designed for traders who want confluence-based signals rather than relying on a single indicator. Feedback is welcome.

Safer Reversal: CHoCH & Div 1st BoS Entry & Exits & Pro FeaturesProfessional traders (in ICT/SMC frameworks) often exit reversal trades using these logic layers for better risk control and to avoid holding into reversals: Opposing CHoCH → Strongest exit/reversal warning: If you’re in a bullish trade and a bearish CHoCH forms (breaks structure against your direction), it’s time to exit fully or scale out aggressively. This signals the new trend might be over or reversing. Failed BoS / Lack of Continuation → If no new BoS occurs for many bars after entry (e.g., 10–20 bars, adjustable), momentum is fading → partial or full exit. Target Zones → Common exits at next major POI: e.g., opposite-side liquidity (equal highs/lows), recent swing extremes, or a fixed RR (like 1:2 or 1:3 from entry). Trailing via Swings → After each new BoS in your direction, trail stop to the recent swing low/high (or below last BoS level) for letting winners run. Other Pro Touches: Volume filter on entry BoS (require above-average volume for confirmation). RSI extreme check (e.g., exit if RSI hits overbought/oversold in your trade direction after entry). Alerts for exits (“EXIT BUY - Opposing CHoCH” etc.).

stelaraX - MACDstelaraX – MACD stelaraX – MACD is a classic momentum and trend-following indicator based on the relationship between two exponential moving averages. It is designed to visualize trend direction, momentum strength, and potential reversal points in a clear and uncluttered way. This indicator is part of the stelaraX ecosystem, focused on clean technical analysis and AI-supported chart evaluation. stelarax.com Core logic The MACD is calculated using three user-defined parameters: * fast moving average period * slow moving average period * signal line smoothing period The indicator consists of: * the MACD line, calculated as the difference between the fast and slow EMA * the signal line, which is an EMA of the MACD line * the histogram, representing the difference between MACD and signal line Momentum increases when the histogram expands and decreases when it contracts. Crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line highlight potential trend shifts. Visualization The script plots: * the MACD line * the signal line * a color-coded histogram Histogram bars adapt their color dynamically: * green tones for positive momentum * red tones for negative momentum * brighter colors when momentum is increasing * softer colors when momentum is weakening A zero baseline is plotted to clearly separate bullish and bearish momentum phases. Use case This indicator is intended for: * momentum and trend analysis * identifying trend continuation and exhaustion * confirming price action and breakout signals * divergence observation between price and momentum For traders looking to combine classical indicators with modern AI-driven chart analysis, additional tools are available at stelarax.com Disclaimer This indicator is provided for educational and technical analysis purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or trading recommendations.

MACD Standard DeviationMACD Standard Deviation The MACD Standard Deviation is a smoother, volatility-adjusted version of MACD designed to improve signal quality and reduce noise while preserving fast market responsiveness. 🚀 Benefits • Strong performance on assets like BNBUSDT • Faster entries with reduced signal noise • Simple and efficient calculation method • Improved trend clarity compared to classic MACD 💡 Core Idea The objective is to create a cleaner MACD signal by measuring and adapting to its volatility. By accounting for dispersion, the indicator filters weak fluctuations and keeps meaningful momentum moves. ⚙️ How It Works A standard MACD is calculated using selected moving averages. Standard deviation of the MACD is computed over a chosen period. Upper and lower dynamic levels are derived from MACD median and volatility. These adaptive bands help filter false signals and better capture trend direction. The result is a smoother, more stable MACD-based trend tool. 📌 Usage Notes • Crosses around the zero line indicate potential trend shifts. • Expanding band distance suggests rising momentum volatility. • Contracting distance often signals consolidation phases. • Histogram changes help visualize acceleration or weakening momentum.

MACD-V (Volatility Normalized MACD)Award-Winning Momentum Indicator by Alex Spiroglou (CMT Charles Dao Award & NAAIM Founders Award, 2022) The classic MACD has powered trading decisions for decades, but it suffers from five major limitations that undermine consistency: 1- Readings are not comparable over time (absolute price dependency causes massive scale differences across decades) 2- Not comparable across markets or assets (e.g., stocks vs. forex vs. crypto) 3- No universal overbought/oversold levels 4- Excessive whipsaws in low-momentum/range-bound conditions 5- Lagging signals in high-momentum reversals (e.g., missing big chunks of V-shaped recoveries) MACD-V solves all five issues by normalizing momentum against volatility instead of price. Core Formula MACD-V = (EMA(12) - EMA(26)) / ATR(26) × 100 This expresses momentum in units of Average True Range (ATR), creating a volatility-adjusted oscillator that remains mathematically meaningful and comparable: -Analysts can use MACD-V across any timeframe: -Across any asset class (stocks, forex, commodities, bonds, crypto) -Over decades of history Key Features & Benefits Time-stable & cross-market comparable: A +100 reading today has the same meaning as +100 in the past years, regardless of asset or price level. Universal extremes: ±150 captures ~95% of all readings across markets → extreme/stretched momentum. Momentum Lifecycle Roadmap (objective framework): +150 or < -150: Extreme / overstretched (high reversal risk) +50 to +150 or -50 to -150: Strong directional momentum (rallying, retracing, rebounding, reversing) -50 to +50: Neutral / low momentum / ranging (avoid most signals — high whipsaw zone) Range Rules for regime context: In bullish regimes (price > 200 EMA), -50 to -150 becomes the practical oversold zone; readings below -100 are rare and often powerful buy setups. Opposite in bearish regimes. Improved signal quality: Filter whipsaws in neutral zone, anticipate lag in extremes, prioritize high-probability crosses in strong-momentum bands. MACD-V Histogram (MACD-VH): Normalized short-term momentum with extremes at ±40 for fast reversal detection. Backtesting & strategy-friendly: Enables reliable historical analysis, cross-asset relative strength, and systematic rules MACD-V transforms momentum from subjective art into objective, repeatable science — giving you consistent, actionable insights no matter what you're trading. Use it standalone or layer with trend filters (e.g., 200 EMA), volume, or price action for even stronger edges.

Mean Reversion [SIMI]This mean reversion indicator identifies extreme price deviations from the mean, providing high-probability reversal signals. Designed for confluence-based trading, it works best when combined with complementary indicators such as VWAP, price action, and volume analysis. 📊 Core Features Signal Types Prime Signals (Bright Green/Red Dots): Extreme reversions usually beyond ±1.5 SD - highest probability setups (you can customise this zone!) Regular Signals (Dark Green/Red Dots): Standard reversions - moderate probability Leader Line (Pink Dotted): Early warning indicator for potential reversals Histogram Weakness: Momentum divergence signals Normalisation Methods: Institutional Hybrid (Z-ATR) (Recommended): Volatility-adjusted Z-score - adapts to changing market conditions Percentile Ranking: Statistical ranking - excellent for ranging markets PPO + ATR Hybrid: Percentage-based with volatility adjustment Efficiency Ratio: Trend-strength weighted ATR: Pure volatility-based None: Raw Z-score ⚙️ Quick Setup Guide 1. Institutional Presets Pre-configured parameter sets optimised for different timeframes: 5M Day Trading (5/21/5): Intraday scalping 1H Options Trading (6/24/5): Options-focused setups 1D Monthly Cycle (5/20/5): Swing trading 2. Signal Filtering Prime Thresholds: Adjust ±1.5 SD to control signal quality (tighter = fewer, higher quality, adjust this zone per asset traded) Dot Filters: Fine-tune entry zones (-0.03/+0.03 default - this ignores noisy signals near Zero line) Volume Filter: Enable to require volume confirmation (1.4x average recommended, but fine tune yourself) 3. Advanced Filters Dynamic SD Thresholds: Auto-adjusts for volatility regimes (tighter in low vol, wider in high vol) Time of Day Filter: Avoids first 30 minutes, last 15 minutes, and lunch hour (11:30-13:00 EST) 💡 Trading Strategy Recommendations Optimal Usage This indicator is not intended as a standalone system. Use it for confluence alongside: VWAP (institutional positioning) Price action (support/resistance) Options flow (institutional direction) Volume analysis (conviction confirmation) Signal Interpretation Prime Signals: Wait for these for highest-probability entries - mean reversion may take hours to days Manual Entries: Don't wait for dots - trade the ±2 SD zones directly using your own confirmation Options Strategy: Prime sell signals at +2 SD make excellent short call setups; prime buy signals at -2 SD for long calls Timeframe Guidance Lower Timeframes (1M-5M): Higher noise - require additional confluence Higher Timeframes (1H-1D): More reliable signals - suitable for options and swing trades Best Results: Multi-timeframe analysis (check 1H and 4H alignment on 5M entries) 🔔 Alert System Master Alert Enable customisable alerts via the Master Alert System: Toggle individual signal types (Prime Buy/Sell, SD Crosses, Leader, Histogram) Receives bespoke messages with ticker, timeframe, and price One alert condition handles all selected signals Individual Alerts Separate alert conditions available for Prime and Regular signals if preferred. 📈 Backtesting Notes Important: Backtest results are date-sensitive and should not be the primary focus. Instead: Dial in settings visually on your chosen asset Aim for signals near actual tops and bottoms Test different normalisation methods for your specific instrument Optimise for signal quality, not backtest ROI Asset Testing: Primarily developed using SPY, QQQ, and IWM as main assets to trade. Other instruments may require parameter adjustment - mess around! Backtest Engine Entry/Exit modes (All Signals, Prime Only, Early Signals) Position sizing (percentage-based) Slippage and fill method (candle close recommended) Date range selection ⚠️ Best Practices Always use confluence - never trade on MR signals alone Start with Institutional Hybrid normalisation - most adaptive to market conditions Focus on Prime signals for quality over quantity Test on your specific asset - optimal settings vary by instrument Longer timeframes = higher reliability - 1H+ for best results Enable Time Filter on intraday charts to avoid volatile periods Use Dynamic SD in highly volatile markets (earnings, FOMC, etc.) 🛠️ Troubleshooting Too many signals: Increase Prime Thresholds or enable Volume Filter Too few signals: Decrease Prime Thresholds or reduce Dot Filters False signals: Enable Time of Day Filter and Dynamic SD Signals don't align with tops/bottoms: Try different normalisation method 📝 Feedback & Development Bug Reports: Please report any issues via TradingView comments or direct message.
