Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD)

Price Action Trading System v0.3 by JustUncleLThis is an updated and improved version of my "Price Action Trading strategy". I have added two extra optional filters, one is a trend direction filter based on the MACD slow EMA(17), blue line, and the other is a RSI(7) filter which works similarly to CCI(14) but slightly different dynamics (thank you to gianfranco60 for the suggestion). Also made a couple of corrections: - input for lenLower minval=1 should be maxval=-1 - one bar pullback did not reset trigger, missing some alerts Some Notes about usage: - this is an alert indicator not a signal generator, each alert is a strong trend continuance candidate, but should be treated on it's own merits by looking at chart dynamics and market conditions. - will work well on trending markets only. - works best on the first alert after MACD cross over. - don't take trades when MACD and signal are close together. - don't trade when channel and slow MA are flat or close together or chopper (yellow and blue MA cross over quickly over short period).

Oscillator Moving Average (OsMA)This code for Oscillator of Moving Averages (OsMA) is based on MACD 4C indicator code published by vkno422 . Many thanks to vkno422. I have borrowed the concept of 4 colours which I find very useful. For those who are not familiar with OsMA, it is histogram of difference between MACD (oscillator) and its MA (signal line). The zero line cross over of this indicator is used in many strategies. This version includes MACD & its signal line together with OsMA histogram. I have programmed flexibility for switching OFF/ON individual indicator components as well as changing the periods for various moving averages. I am dedicating this indicator to the TV trading community hoping that people will find it useful.

MTF MACD 2 By YuthavithiIf you want a good strategy without repaint. This one might be for you. Excellent profitable for BTCUSD3M for OKCoin. It uses multiple time frame MACD for trading decision. To avoid repaint, set the delay period = 1 for both long term and midterm. The idea is that, if long term, mid term and current time frame all agree on traidng direction, the trade will take place. I also uses it in my automated trading bot with good result. www.tradingview.com

Rob RSI Stoch MACD Combo Alert//Created by Robert Nance on 5/28/16. Additional credit to vdubus. //This was a special request from rich15stan. It combines my original RSI Stoch extremes with vdubus’ MACD VXI. //This script will give you red or green columns as an indication for oversold/overbought, //based upon the rsi and stochastic both being at certain levels. The default oversold is at 35. //If Stochastic and RSI fall below 35, you will get a green column. Play with your levels to see how //your stock reacts. It now adds the MACD crossover, plotted as a blue circle.

MACDouble + RSI (rec. 15min-2hr intrv) Uses two sets of MACD plus an RSI to either long or short. All three indicators trigger buy/sell as one (ie it's not 'IF MACD1 OR MACD2 OR RSI > 1 = buy", its more like "IF 1 AND 2 AND RSI=buy", all 3 match required for trigger) The MACD inputs should be tweaked depending on timeframe and what you are trading. If you are doing 1, 3, 5 min or real frequent trading then 21/44/20 and 32/66/29 or other high value MACDs should be considered. If you are doing longer intervals like 2, 3, 4hr then consider 9/19/9 and 21/44/20 for MACDs (experiment! I picked these example #s randomly). Ideal usage for the MACD sets is to have MACD2 inputs at around 1.5x, 2x, or 3x MACD1's inputs. Other settings to consider: try having fastlength1=macdlength1 and then (fastlength2 = macdlength2 - 2). Like 10/26/10 and 23/48/20. This seems to increase net profit since it is more likely to trigger before major price moves, but may decrease profitable trade %. Conversely, consider FL1=MCDL1 and FL2 = MCDL2 + (FL2 * 0.5). Example: 10/26/10 and 22/48/30 this can increase profitable trade %, though may cost some net profit. Feel free to message me with suggestions or questions.

MACD Divergence MultiTimeFrame [FantasticFox]This is a MACD divergence on 3 time-frames, 1h, 4h and 1D. Please insert the indicator into a 1h chart, otherwise change the lengths' inputs. you will see H1,H2, H3, R1, R2 and R3 in green and maroon colors. H means hidden divergence, 1 regards to 1h, 2 to 4h, and 3 to 1D. If the color is green, its bullish, and if its maroon the divergence is bearish. Gray circles on 4h macd is for those traders who want to check the confirmation on Elliott wave changes. *Thanks to RicardoSantos MACD divergence.

MACD MultiTimeFrame 1h4h1D [Fantastic Fox]Please insert the indicator into 1h time-frame, otherwise you need to change the lengths' inputs. When there are tops for two of the MACDs and they are near and close* to each other, there is a big opportunity of a "Major Top" for the security, and vice versa for "Major Bottom". This indicator can be used for tracing multi time-frame divergence. Also, it could help traders to identify the waves of Elliott Wave, and as a signal for confirmation of an impulse after a correction or retracement. * They should be on top of each others head, not crossing each other. not necessarily touching, but not so far from each other.

MACD + Stochastic, Double Strategy (by ChartArt)This strategy combines the classic stochastic strategy to buy when the stochastic is oversold with a classic MACD strategy to buy when the MACD histogram value goes above the zero line. Only difference to the classic stochastic is a default setting of 71 for overbought (classic setting 80) and 29 for oversold (classic setting 20). Therefore this strategy goes long if the MACD histogram goes above zero and the stochastic indicator detects a oversold condition (value below 29). If the inverse logic is true, the strategy goes short (stochastic overbought condition with a value above 71 and the MACD histogram falling below the zero line value). Please be aware that this pure double strategy using simply two classic indicators does not have any stop loss or take profit money management logic. All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Stefan Krecher: Jeddingen DivergenceThe main idea is to identify a divergence between momentum and price movement. E.g. if the momentum is rising but price is going down - this is what we call a divergence. The divergence will be calculated by comparing the direction of the linear regression curve of the price with the linear regression curve of momentum. A bearish divergence can be identified by a thick red line, a bullish divergence by a green line. When there is a divergence, it is likeley that the current trend will change it's direction. Looking at the chart, there are three divergences that need to get interpreted: 1) bearish divergence, RSI is overbought but MACD does not clearly indicate a trend change. Right after the divergence, price and momentum are going up. No clear signal for a sell trade 2) bearish divergence, RSI still overbought, MACD histogram peaked, MACD crossed the signal line, price and momentum are going down. Very clear constellation for a sell trade. 3) two bullish diverences, RSI is oversold, MACD crossover near the end of the second divergence, price and momentum started rising. Good constellation for a buy trade. Could act as exit signal for the beforementioned sell trade. More information on the Jeddingen Divergence is available here: www.forexpython.com

MACD, backtest 2015+ only, cut in half and doubledThis is only a slight modification to the existing "MACD Strategy" strategy plugin! found the default MACD strategy to be lacking, although impressive for its simplicity. I added "year>2014" to the IF buy/sell conditions so it will only backtest from 2015 and beyond ** . I also had a problem with the standard MACD trading late, per se. To that end I modified the inputs for fast/slow/signal to double. Example: my defaults are 10, 21, 10 so I put 20, 42, 20 in. This has the effect of making a 30min interval the same as 1 hour at 10,21,10. So if you want to backtest at 4hr, you would set your time interval to 2hr on the main chart. This is a handy way to make shorter time periods more useful even regardless of strategy/testing, since you can view 15min with alot less noise but a better response. Used on BTCCNY OKcoin, with the chart set at 45 min (so really 90min in the strategy) this gave me a percent profitable of 42% and a profit factor of 1.998 on 189 trades. Personally, I like to set the length/signals to 30,63,30. Meaning you need to triple the time, it allows for much better use of shorter time periods and the backtests are remarkably profitable. (i.e. 15min chart view = 45min on script, 30min= 1.5hr on script) ** If you want more specific time periods you need to try plugging in different bar values: replace "year" with "n" and "2014" with "5500". The bars are based on unix time I believe so you will need to play around with the number for n, with n being the numbers of bars.

MACD + SMA 200 Strategy (by ChartArt)Here is a combination of the classic MACD (moving average convergence divergence indicator) with the classic slow moving average SMA with period 200 together as a strategy. This strategy goes long if the MACD histogram and the MACD momentum are both above zero and the fast MACD moving average is above the slow MACD moving average. As additional long filter the recent price has to be above the SMA 200. If the inverse logic is true, the strategy goes short. For the worst case there is a max intraday equity loss of 50% filter. Save another $999 bucks with my free strategy. This strategy works in the backtest on the daily chart of Bitcoin, as well as on the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average daily charts. Current performance as of November 30, 2015 on the SPX500 CFD daily is percent profitable: 68% since the year 1970 with a profit factor of 6.4. Current performance as of November 30, 2015 on the DOWI index daily is percent profitable: 51% since the year 1915 with a profit factor of 10.8. All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity.
