Price Acceleration Convergence Divergence V2This is a fork of the previous PACD indicator i made by working out the RSI another two times. it works the exact same but is more leading in trend reversals and divergences.
this indicator plots 4x the RSI of the RSI of the price using the derivatives of RSI. Data is plotted just like the MACD.
points 5 and -5 are very strong support/resistance points and should be very important points to take note of.
use this indicator like the MACD essentially with the assistance of a 4x RSI momentum. enjoy
Search in scripts for "MACD"
Momentum-based ZigZag (incl. QQE) NON-REPAINTINGI spent a lot of time searching for the best ZigZag indicator. Difficulty with all of them is that they are always betting on some pre-defined rules which identify or confirm pivot points. Usually it is time factor - pivot point gets confirmed after a particular number of candles. This methodology is probably the best when market is moving relatively slow, but when price starts chopping up and down, there is no way the ZigZag follows accurately. On the other hand if you set it too tight (for example pivot confirmation after only 2 or even 1 candle), you will get hundreds of zigzag lines and they will tell you nothing.
My point of view is to follow the market. If it has reversed, then it has reversed, and there is no need to wait pre-defined number of candles for the confirmation. Such reversals will always be visible on momentum indicators, such as the most popular MACD. But a single-line moving average can be also good enough to notice reversals. Or my favourite one - QQE, which I borrowed (and improved) from JustUncleL, who borrowed it from Glaz, who borrowed it from... I don't even know where Quantitative Qualitative Estimation originates from. Thanks to all these guys for their input and code.
So whichever momentum indicator you choose - yes, there is a pick-your-poison-type selector as in in-famous Moving Average indicators - once it reverses, a highest (or lowest) point from the impulse is caught and ZigZag gets printed.
One thing I need to emphasize. This indicator DOES NOT REPAINT. It might look like the lines are a bit delayed, especially when compared to all the other ZigZag indicators on TradingView, but they are actually TRUE. There is a value in this - my indicator prints pivot points and Zigzag exactly on the moment they have been noticed, not earlier faking to be faster than they could be.
As a bonus, the indicator marks which impulse had strength in it. It is very nice to see a progressing impulse, but without force - a very likely that reversal on a bigger move is happening.
I'm about to publish some more scripts based on this ZigZag algo, so follow me on TradingView to get notified.
Enjoy!
Blockchain Fundamentals - MCCD - Miner Capitulation Conv/Div🔗Blockchain Fundamentals - MCCD - Miner Capitulation & Convergence Divergence
(a.k.a. Hash Ribbons)
Intro
Miner Capitulation has been talked about alot recently in the news and on twitter. I wanted to join the in fun and add my own spin on things.
Description
This shows the 30 (yellow) and 60 (orange) day moving average of the hash rate of bitcoin. I added an option to show the convergence/divergence of the two moving averages in a visual manner similar to the MACD.
I also added the ability to select both the length and type of MA used in the calculation of the capitulation so you can experiment.
Other additions include bar coloration by trade state, and background highlighting of capitulation periods.
Editable Capitulation/Recovery plots will show clearly when the crosses happen.
The way to replicate my display is to add the indicator twice below the chart and combine in the same pane. First indicator displays the averages by default. The second one you enable convergence/divergence display option and uncheck the rest.
Last I add the indicator one more time and dragged it on chart. Do not combine the scales into one, of else it will ruin the scale (you want them separate scales). Its just showing you possibilities, use whatever works for you!
👍 We hope you enjoyed this indicator and find it useful! We post free crypto analysis, strategies and indicators regularly. This is our 73rd script on Tradingview!

Cumulative Force Oscillator with MACDCumulative Force Oscillator with MACD
The Cumulative Force Oscillator with MACD is an advanced technical indicator designed to provide traders with a unique perspective on market momentum and trend strength. By combining the power of cumulative candle force analysis with MACD crossover signals, this indicator offers a multifaceted approach to market analysis.
Key Features
1. Cumulative Force Calculation**: Measures the net force of price movements over a specified number of candles.
2. MACD Integration**: Incorporates MACD crossover signals for additional trend confirmation.
3. Visual Cues**: Utilizes color-coded oscillator lines and background zones for easy interpretation.
4. **Dynamic Labeling**: Displays real-time force values and percentage changes.
How It Works
Cumulative Force Calculation
The indicator calculates the "force" of each candle by subtracting the open price from the close price. It then sums this force over a user-defined number of candles to create a cumulative force value. This value oscillates above and below zero, indicating bullish or bearish pressure respectively.
MACD Crossover Detection
The indicator uses the standard MACD (12, 26, 9) to detect bullish and bearish crossovers. These crossovers are visually represented by colored background zones, providing an additional layer of trend confirmation.
Visual Representation
- The main oscillator line is plotted in green when above zero (bullish) and red when below zero (bearish).
- Background colors change based on MACD crossovers: light blue for bullish crossovers and light orange for bearish crossovers.
- A dynamic label displays the current cumulative force value and its percentage change from the previous period.
Interpretation
1. Oscillator Line : When the line is above zero, it indicates net bullish pressure; below zero suggests net bearish pressure.
2. Oscillator Momentum : The steepness and direction of the oscillator line indicate the strength and direction of the current market force.
3. MACD Crossovers : Blue background zones suggest potential bullish trends, while orange zones indicate potential bearish trends.
4. Divergences : Look for divergences between the oscillator and price action for potential trend reversal signals.
Customization
Users can customize several aspects of the indicator :
- Number of candles for force calculation
- Label offset and text size
- Color schemes (through code modification)
Conclusion
The Cumulative Force Oscillator with MACD is a versatile tool that combines momentum analysis with trend confirmation signals. By providing a visual representation of cumulative market force alongside MACD crossovers, it offers traders a comprehensive view of market dynamics. This indicator can be particularly useful for identifying potential trend reversals, confirming existing trends, and gauging overall market strength.

RSI Trend Following StrategyOverview
The RSI Trend Following Strategy utilizes Relative Strength Index (RSI) to enter the trade for the potential trend continuation. It uses Stochastic indicator to check is the price is not in overbought territory and the MACD to measure the current price momentum. Moreover, it uses the 200-period EMA to filter the counter trend trades with the higher probability. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
Dynamic stop-loss system: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes average true range (ATR) multiplied by user given number subtracted from the position entry price as a dynamic stop loss level.
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Two layers trade filtering system: Strategy utilizes MACD and Stochastic indicators measure the current momentum and overbought condition and use 200-period EMA to filter trades against major trend.
Trailing take profit level: After reaching the trailing profit activation level script activates the trailing of long trade using EMA. More information in methodology.
Wide opportunities for strategy optimization: Flexible strategy settings allows users to optimize the strategy entries and exits for chosen trading pair and time frame.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
RSI is above 50 level.
MACD line shall be above the signal line
Both lines of Stochastic shall be not higher than 80 (overbought territory)
Candle’s low shall be above the 200 period EMA
When long trade is executed, strategy set the stop-loss level at the price ATR multiplied by user-given value below the entry price. This level is recalculated on every next candle close, adjusting to the current market volatility.
At the same time strategy set up the trailing stop validation level. When the price crosses the level equals entry price plus ATR multiplied by user-given value script starts to trail the price with trailing EMA(by default = 20 period). If price closes below EMA long trade is closed. When the trailing starts, script prints the label “Trailing Activated”.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.75)
ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level (by default = 2.25)
MACD Fast Length (by default = 12, period of averaging fast MACD line)
MACD Fast Length (by default = 26, period of averaging slow MACD line)
MACD Signal Smoothing (by default = 9, period of smoothing MACD signal line)
Oscillator MA Type (by default = EMA, available options: SMA, EMA)
Signal Line MA Type (by default = EMA, available options: SMA, EMA)
RSI Length (by default = 14, period for RSI calculation)
Trailing EMA Length (by default = 20, period for EMA, which shall be broken close the trade after trailing profit activation)
Justification of Methodology
This trading strategy is designed to leverage a combination of technical indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Stochastic Oscillator, and the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA)—to determine optimal entry points for long trades. Additionally, the strategy uses the Average True Range (ATR) for dynamic risk management to adapt to varying market conditions. Let's look in details for which purpose each indicator is used for and why it is used in this combination.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis to measure the speed and change of price movements in a financial market. It helps traders identify whether an asset is potentially overbought (overvalued) or oversold (undervalued), which can indicate a potential reversal or continuation of the current trend.
How RSI Works? RSI tracks the strength of recent price changes. It compares the average gains and losses over a specific period (usually 14 periods) to assess the momentum of an asset. Average gain is the average of all positive price changes over the chosen period. It reflects how much the price has typically increased during upward movements. Average loss is the average of all negative price changes over the same period. It reflects how much the price has typically decreased during downward movements.
RSI calculates these average gains and losses and compares them to create a value between 0 and 100. If the RSI value is above 70, the asset is generally considered overbought, meaning it might be due for a price correction or reversal downward. Conversely, if the RSI value is below 30, the asset is considered oversold, suggesting it could be poised for an upward reversal or recovery. RSI is a useful tool for traders to determine market conditions and make informed decisions about entering or exiting trades based on the perceived strength or weakness of an asset's price movements.
This strategy uses RSI as a short-term trend approximation. If RSI crosses over 50 it means that there is a high probability of short-term trend change from downtrend to uptrend. Therefore RSI above 50 is our first trend filter to look for a long position.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular momentum and trend-following indicator used in technical analysis. It helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in an asset's price.
The MACD consists of three components:
MACD Line: This is the difference between a short-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a long-term EMA, typically calculated as: MACD Line = 12 period EMA − 26 period EMA
Signal Line: This is a 9-period EMA of the MACD Line, which helps to identify buy or sell signals. When the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line, it can be a bullish signal (suggesting a buy); when it crosses below, it can be a bearish signal (suggesting a sell).
Histogram: The histogram shows the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line, visually representing the momentum of the trend. Positive histogram values indicate increasing bullish momentum, while negative values indicate increasing bearish momentum.
This strategy uses MACD as a second short-term trend filter. When MACD line crossed over the signal line there is a high probability that uptrend has been started. Therefore MACD line above signal line is our additional short-term trend filter. In conjunction with RSI it decreases probability of following false trend change signals.
The Stochastic Indicator is a momentum oscillator that compares a security's closing price to its price range over a specific period. It's used to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 80 indicating overbought conditions and readings below 20 indicating oversold conditions.
It consists of two lines:
%K: The main line, calculated using the formula (CurrentClose−LowestLow)/(HighestHigh−LowestLow)×100 . Highest and lowest price taken for 14 periods.
%D: A smoothed moving average of %K, often used as a signal line.
This strategy uses stochastic to define the overbought conditions. The logic here is the following: we want to avoid long trades in the overbought territory, because when indicator reaches it there is a high probability that the potential move is gonna be restricted.
The 200-period EMA is a widely recognized indicator for identifying the long-term trend direction. The strategy only trades in the direction of this primary trend to increase the probability of successful trades. For instance, when the price is above the 200 EMA, only long trades are considered, aligning with the overarching trend direction.
Therefore, strategy uses combination of RSI and MACD to increase the probability that price now is in short-term uptrend, Stochastic helps to avoid the trades in the overbought (>80) territory. To increase the probability of opening long trades in the direction of a main trend and avoid local bounces we use 200 period EMA.
ATR is used to adjust the strategy risk management to the current market volatility. If volatility is low, we don’t need the large stop loss to understand the there is a high probability that we made a mistake opening the trade. User can setup the settings ATR Stop Loss and ATR Trailing Profit Activation Level to realize his own risk to reward preferences, but the unique feature of a strategy is that after reaching trailing profit activation level strategy is trying to follow the trend until it is likely to be finished instead of using fixed risk management settings. It allows sometimes to be involved in the large movements.

Leading MACDThe Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is one of the most popular and versatile tools used by traders to identify potential buy and sell signals. It helps traders determine the strength and direction of a trend by comparing different moving averages of a security's price. The traditional MACD uses two exponential moving averages (EMAs), a fast EMA (typically 12 periods) and a slow EMA (typically 26 periods), along with a signal line (typically a 9-period EMA of the MACD line) to generate trading signals.
Our "Custom MACD with Leading Length" script for TradingView enhances the traditional MACD by introducing an additional smoothing factor called the "leading length." This customization aims to reduce noise and provide a potentially earlier indication of trend changes, making it a valuable tool for traders seeking to optimize their trading strategies.
- **Purpose:** This additional smoothing factor is designed to reduce noise and provide a potentially leading signal, enhancing the accuracy of trend identification.
## How It Works
1. **Calculate the MACD Line:**
The MACD line is calculated by subtracting the slow EMA from the fast EMA. This difference represents the convergence or divergence between the two EMAs.
2. **Calculate the Signal Line:**
The signal line is an EMA of the MACD line. This additional smoothing helps to generate clearer buy and sell signals based on crossovers with the MACD line.
3. **Calculate the Histogram:**
The histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line. It visually indicates the strength and direction of the trend. A positive histogram suggests a bullish trend, while a negative histogram indicates a bearish trend.
4. **Apply Leading Length Smoothing:**
To incorporate the leading length, the script applies a simple moving average (SMA) to both the MACD and signal lines using the leading length parameter. This additional smoothing helps to further reduce noise and potentially provides earlier signals of trend changes.
## Benefits of the Leading MACD
### Reduced Noise
The leading length parameter adds an extra layer of smoothing to the MACD and signal lines, helping to filter out market noise. This can be particularly beneficial in volatile markets, where frequent price fluctuations can generate false signals.
### Potential Early Signals
By smoothing the MACD and signal lines, the leading length can help to provide earlier indications of trend changes. This can give traders a potential edge in entering or exiting trades before the broader market reacts.
### Enhanced Trend Identification
The combination of the traditional MACD with the leading length smoothing can enhance the accuracy of trend identification. Traders can use this tool to confirm the strength and direction of trends, making it easier to make informed trading decisions.
### Versatility
The Custom MACD with Leading Length can be applied to various timeframes and asset classes, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Its adaptability makes it a valuable tool for traders with different strategies and preferences.
## Practical Applications
### Buy Signal
A typical buy signal occurs when the MACD line crosses above the signal line. With the additional smoothing provided by the leading length, traders might receive this signal slightly earlier, allowing them to enter a long position sooner. This can be particularly advantageous in capturing the beginning of a bullish trend.
### Sell Signal
Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the MACD line crosses below the signal line. The leading length smoothing can help to provide this signal earlier, enabling traders to exit a long position or enter a short position before the trend reversal is fully recognized by the market.
### Divergence Analysis
Traders can also use the Custom MACD with Leading Length for divergence analysis. Bullish divergence occurs when the price makes a new low, but the MACD line forms a higher low. This suggests that the downward momentum is weakening, potentially leading to a bullish reversal. Bearish divergence is the opposite, where the price makes a new high, but the MACD line forms a lower high, indicating a potential bearish reversal.
### Confirmation Tool
The Custom MACD with Leading Length can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm trading signals. For example, traders might use it alongside support and resistance levels, trendlines, or other momentum indicators to validate their trade entries and exits.
## Conclusion
The Custom MACD with Leading Length is a powerful enhancement of the traditional MACD indicator. By introducing an additional smoothing factor, it aims to reduce noise and provide earlier signals of trend changes. This makes it a valuable tool for traders seeking to improve their market analysis and trading strategies.
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, the Custom MACD with Leading Length can help you make more informed decisions by offering clearer insights into market trends. Its adaptability to different timeframes and asset classes further enhances its utility, making it a versatile addition to any trader's toolkit.
Experiment with the parameters to find the optimal settings that suit your trading style and preferences. Use the Custom MACD with Leading Length to gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and enhance your trading performance.
Instant MACD (IMACD)The "Instant MACD" is a tailored version of the traditional Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, specifically designed to begin plotting with minimal data, such as in cases of high timeframe charts or newly listed trading instruments. Unlike the standard MACD that requires a substantial amount of data to provide accurate readings, the Instant MACD can deliver insights with as few as two candlesticks.
This iteration of the MACD utilizes the Chebyshev filter for the computation of both the fast and slow moving averages as well as for the signal line. The Chebyshev filter is known for its effectiveness in smoothing data series and reducing ripple effects, which is particularly advantageous when working with limited datasets.
The Instant MACD comprises several components. The histogram, which illustrates the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, adjusts its color based on the directional momentum; it transitions between shades of green and red as the histogram moves above or below the zero line and increases or decreases in value. The MACD line, depicted in blue, represents the disparity between the fast and slow Chebyshev moving averages. Complementing it is the signal line in orange, which is a Chebyshev-filtered mean of the MACD line and serves as an indicator of potential momentum shifts.
Additionally, the indicator includes a zero line for reference, aiding in the visualization of the convergence or divergence of the MACD and signal lines. To enhance its utility, the script encompasses alert conditions to notify users when there is a change in the trend of the histogram—specifically, when it transitions from a rising to a falling state and vice versa, potentially indicating shifts in market momentum.
Overall, the Instant MACD is an innovative tool for traders who require early trend signals in scenarios where traditional MACD analysis might be hampered by the lack of extensive historical data.
tl;dr this is identical to the regular macd but it starts working almost instantly.
Enhanced McClellan Summation Index
The Enhanced McClellan Summation Index (MSI) is a comprehensive tool that transforms the MSI indicator with Heikin-Ashi visualization, offering improved trend analysis and momentum insights. This indicator includes MACD and it's histogram calculations to refine trend signals, minimize false positives and offer additional momentum analysis.
Methodology:
McClellan Summation Index (MSI) -
The MSI begins by calculating the ratio between advancing and declining issues in the specified index.
float decl = 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴
float adv = 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴
float ratio = (adv - decl) / (adv + decl)
It then computes a cumulative sum of the MACD (the difference between a 19-period EMA and a 39-period EMA) of this ratio. The result is a smoothed indicator reflecting market breadth and momentum.
macd(float r) =>
ta.ema(r, 19) - ta.ema(r, 39)
float msi = ta.cum(macd(ratio))
Heikin-Ashi Transformation -
Heikin-Ashi is a technique that uses a modified candlestick formula to create a smoother representation of price action. It averages the open, close, high, and low prices of the current and previous periods. This transformation reduces noise and provides a clearer view of trends.
type bar
float o = open
float h = high
float l = low
float c = close
bar b = bar.new()
float ha_close = math.avg(b.o, b.h, b.l, b.c)
MACD and Histogram -
The Enhanced MSI incorporates MACD and histogram calculations to provide additional momentum analysis and refine trend signals. The MACD represents the difference between the 12-period EMA and the 26-period EMA of the MSI. The histogram is the visual representation of the difference between the MACD and its signal line.
Options:
Index Selection - Choose from TVC:NYA , NASDAQ:NDX , or TVC:XAX to tailor the MSI-HA to the desired market index.
MACD Settings - Adjust the parameters for the MACD calculation to fine-tune the indicator's responsiveness.

MAGIC MACDMAGIC MACD ( MACD Indicator with Trend Filter and EMA Crossover confirmation and Momentum). This MACD uses Default Trading view MACD
from Technical indicators library and adding a second MACD along with 3 EMA's to detect Trend and confirm MACD Signal.
Eliminates usage of 3different indicators (Default MACD , MACD-2,EMA5, EMA20, EMA50)
Basic IDEA.
Idea is to filter Histogram when price is above or below 50EMA. Similar to QQE -mod oscillator but Has a EMA Filter
1.Take DEFAULT MACD crossover signals with lower period
2.check with a Higher MACD Histogram.
3.Enter upon EMA crossover signal and Histogram confirmation.
Histogram changes to GRAY when price is below EMA 50 or above EMA 50 (Follows Trend)
4.Exit on next Default MACD crossover signal.
Overview :
Moving Average Convergence Divergence Indicator Popularly Known as MACD is widely used. MACD Usually generates a lots of False signals
and noise in Lower Time Frames, making it difficult to enter a trade in sideways market. Divergence is a major issue along with sideways
movement and tangling of MACD and Signal Lines. There is no way to confirm a Default MACD signal, except to switch time frames and
verify.
Magic MACD Can be used to in combination with other signals.
This MACD uses two MACD Signals to verify the signal given by Default MACD . The Histogram Plot shown is of a higher period
MACD (close,5,50,30) values. When a signal is generated on a lower MACD it is verified by the histogram with higher time period.
Technicals Used:
1. Lower MACD-1 values 12,26 and signal-9 (crossover Signals)
2. Higher MACD-2 values 5,50 and signal-30 (Histogram)
3. EMA 50 (Histogram Filter to allow only if price above or below Ema 50)
4. EMA 5 and EMA 20 for crossover confirmation of trend
What's is in this Indicator?
1.Histogram-(higher period 5,50 and 30signal)
2. MACD crossover Signals-(lower period Default MACD setting)
3.Signal Lines-( EMA 5 & 20)
Implemented & Removed in this Indicator
1. Default MACD and Signal Lines are removed completely
2. MACD crossover are taken on lower periods and plotted as signals(Blue Triangle or Red Triangle)
3. Histogram is plotted from a higher Period providing a clear picture with Higher Time period
4. EMA 5 and EMA 20 are used for MACD signal confirmation
How to use?
Up Signal
1. MACD Default (12,26,30) up signals are shown in Blue
2. Wait till the Histogram changes Blue
3. Look for EMA signals crossover near by
Down Signal
1. MACD Default (12,26,30) up signals are shown in Red
2. Wait till the Histogram changes Red
3. Look for EMA signals crossover near by
Do's
Consider only opposite color as signals
1. Red Triangle on Blue Histogram(likely to move down direction)
2. Blue Triangle on Red Histogram (Likely to move up direction)
Don'ts
1.Ignore Blue Signal on Blue Histogram (pull back signals can be used to enter trade if you miss first crossover)
2.Ignore Red Signal on Red Histogram(pull back signals can be used to enter trade if you miss first crossover)
3.Ignore Up and Down signals till Gray or Blacked out area is finished in Histogram
Tips:
1. EMA plot also shows pull back areas along with signals
2.side by side opposite signals shows sides ways movement
3. EMA 5,20 is plotted on MACD Histogram for Additional Benefit

[blackcat] L1 Another Improved MACD IndicatorLevel: 1
Background
The MACD is a superior derivative of moving average crossovers and was developed by Gerald Appel in 1979 as a market timing tool. MACD uses two exponential moving averages with different bar periods, which are then subtracted to form what Mr. Appel calls the Fast Line. A 9-period moving average of the fast line creates the slow line.
Function
L1 Another Improved MACD Indicator improves MACD histogram by customized an algorithm and add three levels of long entry alerts derived from ema ().
Key Signal
diff --> classic MACD diff fast line in white
dea --> classic MACD dea slow line in yellow
macd --> classic difference histogram,but I did not use it directly in the plot.
macd1 --> ema3 of macd
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. more clear sub level trend change with new histograms
Cons:
1. need sophisticated knowledge of MACD to use this well
2. this still requires a lot of MACD experience to obtain reliable trading signals
Remarks

Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Your CRYPTO Screener - MACD 0 LAG editionHello traders
What's good?
1 - Quick introduction
This script is to demonstrate a proof-of-concept - showing you again what you thought wasn't possible might become (with some tricks) in the realm of possibles !!!.
I get requests for people who want a custom screener because the native TradingView Stocks/Forex/Crypto screeners don't allow to plug external indicators. (example: www.tradingview.com
This is entirely true and I have also good news for you, we can hack the system one more time. As Hackerman would say, "IT"S HACKING TIME !!!" (ref : KUNG FURY . (#geek #reference #done #for #today)
What if you could build your own personalized screener based on your custom indicator? "No Dave stop smoking, that's not possible, go back to eating your baguette". Say no more, let me present you my new script called YOUR CRYPTO Screener (MACD 0 LAG)
2 - What is a MACD ZERO LAG?
We'll all agree this indicator is NOT in the TradingView screeners so I'm not cheating here :)
A MACD ZERO LAG is a MACD that .... suspens.... wait for it.... DOES NOT lag.
The traditional MACD is based on exponential moving averages and as moving averages are lagging, then the MACD is lagging also. I'll spare you all the maths behind the MACD ZERO LAG but in short, this is a way more reactive indicator than the traditional MACD
I shared before the version that I personally use for my own trading : MACD 0 LAG nTREND coloring
3 - Crypto Screener specifications
If I could do a screener as complete as the native one, this would be wonderful but ... we cannot and this is due to technical reasons. To call indicators from different timeframes, I have to use the security function. And we're limited to 40 security calls per indicator.
That explains why I selected 4 crypto assets and 5 timeframes and the MACD zero lag output for each asset/timeframe - which gives a total of 4 * 5 * 2 = 40
You'll be able to select from the interface the 5 timeframes that you want for your screener
In this script, you'll get a :
- BUY whenever the MACD ZERO LAG for your asset/timeframe is green.
- SELL whenever the MACD ZERO LAG for your asset/timeframe is red.
4 - Can you hack it even more?
If you want to add other timeframes or assets, you can either, change the code or add the indicator on another chart.
I made the source code generic enough so that you can update it yourself easily
Example:
Chart 1 will list BTCUSD, ETHUSD, LTCUSD, and XRPUSD in m5/m15/m30/H1/H4 and Chart2 could list BTCUSD, ETHUSD, LTCUSD and XRPUSD in H6/H8/H12/Daily, etc...
Once again the sky (and your computer RAM capacity) is the limit
5 - Can you super hack it even more?
1/ This script is only a proof-of-concept that you can build your own custom screener. Imagine having the Algorithm Builder and being able to connect it in a single click to a custom screener using your own configuration :)
How coooooooooooooooool would that be!!!
This screener version will be available on my website in a few weeks along with all the tools I'm spamming you about since the beginning of July (#shameless #self-advertising)
2/ For a nicer scripter, let's keep in mind that TradingView just enabled Webhooks this week. This will allow my company to offer custom screeners design and hosted on your own website. Those screeners will be for sure nicer than the indicator version
That's it for today and for this week
I won't even touch the laptop this weekend and will enjoy life a bit
Love you all
Dave

VOLUME WEIGHTED MACD V2 VWMACDV2 BY KIVANÇ fr3762Second version of Buff Dormeier's Volume Weighted MACD indicator....
Here in this version; Exponential Moving Averages used and Weighted by Volume instead of using only vwma ( Volume Weighted Moving Averages).
I personally asked Mr Dormeier, the developer of this indicator, and he confirmed this second version could be used.
I personally think that this one is more effective when comparing with the vwma version...
Volume Weighted MACD
Volume Weighted MACD (VW-MACD) was created by Buff Dormeier and described in his book Investing With Volume Analysis. It represents the convergence and divergence of volume-weighted price trends.
The inclusion of volume allows the VW-MACD to be generally more responsive and reliable than the traditional MACD .
What is MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)?
Moving Average Convergence Divergence was created by Gerald Appel in 1979. Standard MACD plots the difference between a short term exponential average and a long term exponential average. When the difference (the MACD line) is positive and rising, it suggests prices trend is up. When the MACD line is negative, it suggests prices trend is down.
A smooth exponential average of this difference is calculated to form the MACD signal line. When the MACD line is above the MACD signal line, it illustrates that the momentum of MACD is rising. Likewise, when the MACD is below the MACD signal line, the momentum of the MACD falls. This difference between the MACD line and the MACD signal line is frequently plotted as a histogram to highlight the spread between the two lines.
What is the difference between MACD and VW-MACD?
Volume Weighted MACD is substituting the two exponential moving averages to compute the MACD difference with the two corresponding Volume-Weighted Moving Average . Thus, VW-MACD contrasts a volume-weighted short term trend from the volume-weighted longer term trend.
The signal line is left as an exponential moving average because VW-MACD line is already volume weighted.

Multi-Feature IndicatorThe Multi-Feature Indicator combines three popular technical analysis tools — RSI, Moving Averages (MA), and MACD — into a single indicator to provide unified buy and sell signals. This script is designed for traders who want to filter out noise and focus on signals confirmed by multiple criteria.
Features:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Measures momentum and identifies overbought (70) and oversold (30) conditions.
A signal is triggered when RSI crosses these thresholds.
Moving Averages (MA):
Uses a short-term moving average (default: 9 periods) and a long-term moving average (default: 21 periods).
Buy signals occur when the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals occur when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA, indicating a downtrend.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of an asset's price.
Signals are based on the crossover of the MACD line and its signal line.
Unified Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when:
RSI crosses above 30 (leaving oversold territory).
Short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA.
MACD line crosses above the signal line.
Sell Signal: Triggered when:
RSI crosses below 70 (leaving overbought territory).
Short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA.
MACD line crosses below the signal line.

[blackcat] L2 Enhanced MACD Trend█ OVERVIEW
The Enhanced MACD Trend script combines traditional Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) analysis with On-Balance Volume (OBV) insights to provide traders with a comprehensive understanding of market trends. By examining both price momentum and volume fluctuations, this tool aids in identifying potential upward or downward market transitions.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Initially, the script prompts users to configure fundamental parameters such as the speed of moving averages. It subsequently utilizes a specialized auxiliary function named calculate_macd_obv_signals to perform intricate computations. This function calculates the discrepancy between two distinct types of moving averages (captured via MACD analysis), evaluates the direction of capital inflows and outflows within securities (using OBV), and applies smoothing techniques to mitigate undue influence from minor fluctuations. Ultimately, visual representations of these calculations are rendered on an additional chart pane for enhanced interpretability.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS

Volume-MACD-RSI Integrated StrategyDescription:
This script integrates three well-known technical analysis tools—Volume, MACD, and RSI—into a single signal meant to help traders identify potential turning points under strong market conditions.
Concept Overview:
Volume Filter: We compare the current bar’s volume to a 20-period volume average and require it to exceed a specified multiplier. This ensures that signals occur only during periods of heightened market participation. The logic is that moves on low volume are less reliable, so we wait for increased activity to confirm potential trend changes.
MACD Momentum Shift:
We incorporate MACD crossovers to determine when momentum is changing direction. MACD is a popular momentum indicator that identifies shifts in trend by comparing short-term and long-term EMAs. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the signal line) may suggest upward momentum is building, while a bearish crossunder can indicate momentum turning downward.
RSI Market Condition Check:
RSI helps us identify overbought or oversold conditions. By requiring that RSI be oversold on buy signals and overbought on sell signals, we attempt to pinpoint entries where price could be at an extreme. The idea is to position entries or exits at junctures where price may be due for a reversal.
How the Script Works Together:
Volume Confirmation: No signals fire unless there’s strong volume. This reduces false positives.
MACD Momentum Check: Once volume confirms market interest, MACD crossover events serve as a trigger to initiate consideration of a trade signal.
RSI Condition: Finally, RSI determines whether the market is at an extreme. This final layer helps ensure we only act on signals that have both momentum shift and a price at an extreme level, potentially increasing the reliability of signals.
Intended Use:
This script can help highlight potential reversal points or trend shifts during active market periods.
Traders can use these signals as a starting point for deeper analysis. For instance, a “BUY” arrow may prompt a trader to investigate the market context, confirm with other methods, or look for patterns that further support a long entry.
The script is best used on markets with reliable volume data, such as stocks or futures, and can be experimented with across different timeframes. Adjusting the RSI thresholds, MACD parameters, and volume multiplier can help tailor it to specific instruments or trading styles.
Chart Setup:
When adding this script to your chart, it should be the only indicator present, so you can clearly see the red “BUY” arrows and green “SELL” arrows at the candle closes where signals occur.
The chart should be kept clean and uncluttered for clarity. No other indicators are necessary since the logic is already integrated into this single script.
Polyphase MACD (PMACD)The Polyphase MACD (PMACD) uses polyphase decimation to create a continuous estimate of higher timeframe MACD behavior. The number of phases represents the timeframe multiplier - for example, 3 phases approximates a 3x higher timeframe.
Traditional higher timeframe MACD indicators update only when each higher timeframe bar completes, creating stepped signals that can miss intermediate price action. The PMACD addresses this by maintaining multiple phase-shifted MACD calculations and combining them with appropriate anti-aliasing filters. This approach eliminates the discrete jumps typically seen in higher timeframe indicators, though the resulting signal may sometimes deviate from the true higher timeframe values due to its estimative nature.
The indicator processes price data through parallel phase calculations, each analyzing a different time-offset subset of the data. These phases are filtered and combined to prevent aliasing artifacts that occur in simple timeframe conversions. The result is a smooth, continuous signal that begins providing meaningful values immediately, without requiring a warm-up period of higher timeframe bars.
The PMACD maintains the standard MACD components - the MACD line (fast MA - slow MA), signal line, and histogram - while providing a more continuous view of higher timeframe momentum. Users can select between EMA and SMA calculations for both the oscillator and signal components, with all calculations benefiting from the same polyphase processing technique.
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).
Break of High/Low with Volume, MACD, and MAsHow It Works:
Sessions:
The London session is defined between 8:00 and 16:00 UTC.
The New York session is defined between 13:00 and 21:00 UTC.
Previous High/Low:
The script identifies the highest high and lowest low from the previous bar using ta.highest(high, 1) and ta.lowest(low, 1) .
Candle Body Size:
The script calculates the size of the current candle's body and checks if it is at least double the size of the previous candle's body.
Volume Check:
A high volume threshold is set as 1.5 times the 50-period SMA of the volume.
MACD Crossover:
The script calculates the MACD and its signal line and checks for bullish (buy) or bearish (sell) crossovers.
Signals:
A long signal (buy) is generated if the price breaks the previous high with a large body candle, high volume, and a bullish MACD crossover during the specified sessions.
A short signal (sell) is generated if the price breaks the previous low with a large body candle, high volume, and a bearish MACD crossover during the specified sessions.
Plotting:
The 50-period and 200-period moving averages, previous high, and previous low are plotted on the chart.
If a long condition is met, a "BUY" label is displayed below the bar. If a short condition is met, a "SELL" label is displayed above the bar.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered whenever the conditions for a long or short trade are met.
Customization:
Feel free to adjust the session times, volume threshold, MACD settings, or moving averages based on your trading strategy or the specific asset you are trading.
RSI-based MACDThe RSI is one of the most popular indicators available. This indicator, which represents the strength of market momentum based on the gains and losses over the past 14 candlesticks, is rational and is mainly used as an oscillator to determine overbought or oversold conditions. However, because the RSI is an older indicator, its very simple design—displaying only a single line on the graph—may feel somewhat lacking in functionality to modern traders. The main issue is that there is no objective measure to determine whether the RSI is currently rising or falling.
That’s when I came up with the idea of calculating the MACD based on the smoothed values of the RSI. As is well known, the MACD is an indicator that represents the distance between moving averages, designed to show when the moving averages cross as the value falls below zero. By observing the golden crosses and death crosses of the MACD and signal line, one can anticipate the golden and death crosses of the moving averages. Applying the same logic, I thought that calculating the MACD based on RSI values would allow us to predict the rise and fall of the RSI by observing these golden and death crosses.
Currently, the RSI is often used as a contrarian indicator to determine overbought and oversold conditions, but with this approach, I believe the RSI can instead function extremely well as a trend-following indicator. Whenever an uptrend occurs, the RSI inevitably rises, and when a downtrend occurs, the RSI inevitably falls. Therefore, by predicting the rise and fall of the RSI, it becomes possible to forecast what kind of trend is likely to develop.
In this indicator, the MACD calculated from the RSI is displayed, with the original RSI line plotted above it. Since the scales of the RSI and MACD are different, I originally wanted to provide a separate scale for the RSI on the left side. However, due to TradingView’s limitations, it seems quite difficult to display more than one scale in a single panel, so I had to give up on that. Instead, I ask that you mentally multiply the RSI values displayed on the right by 10—for example, 2.11 indicates 21.1%.
Additionally, as a bonus, I’ve included a feature that detects divergences. With these features, I believe this has become the most useful indicator when compared to existing RSI-based indicators. I hope you find it helpful in your trading.

When in strong trends, you can use the average table to determine when to look to get into a position. This example we are in a strong downtrend, we then see the histogram growing above the average in these conditions which is where we should look to get into a shorting position.
Strategic Applications
The AMACD serves not just as an indicator but as a comprehensive analytical tool for spotting market trends, momentum shifts, and potential reversal points. It's particularly useful for traders to:
Spot Momentum Changes Utilise dynamic coloring and streak tracking to alert shifts in momentum, helping anticipate market movements.
Identify Market Extremes Use high and low markers to spot potential market turning points, aiding in risk management and decision-making.
Alert Conditions
Above Average Movement Alerts: Triggered when the duration of the MACD histogram's growth or decline is unusually long, these alerts signal sustained momentum:
Above Zero: Alerts for both growing and declining movements above zero, indicating either continued bullish trends or potential bearish reversals.
Below Zero: Alerts for growth and decline below zero, pointing to potential bullish reversals or confirmed bearish trends.
High/Low Break Alerts: Activated when the histogram reaches new highs or falls to new lows beyond the set thresholds, these alerts are crucial for identifying shifts in market dynamics:
Break Above Last High: Indicates a potential upward trend as the histogram surpasses recent highs.
Break Below Last Low: Warns of a possible downward trend as the histogram drops below recent lows.
These alert conditions enable traders to automate part of their market monitoring or potential to automate the signals to take action elsewhere.
