更新済 MACD + Impulse MACD - Normalized Momentum Scale
This indicator brings two complementary momentum frameworks — standard Price MACD and Impulse MACD — into one shared, normalized momentum environment. The result is a view that goes beyond a single crossover or histogram reading: it lets you see how two different expressions of momentum are behaving together, where they agree, where they diverge, which one is leading, how strongly each is expanding or contracting, and whether that relationship is being reinforced by the developing higher timeframe.
At the center of the design is the Normalized Momentum Scale (NMS), which places both MACD families on the same fixed -100 to +100 coordinate. That common scale is what makes the comparison meaningful. Instead of looking at two separate indicators with unrelated native magnitudes, the script lets their lines, signals, histograms, crossover age, and higher-timeframe context coexist in one visual framework.
The standard Price MACD side captures the familiar relationship between fast and slow exponential averages of Close. The Impulse MACD side approaches momentum differently, using a smoothed High/Low envelope and a zero-lag EMA centerline to distinguish movement occurring inside that envelope from movement extending beyond it. This implementation was inspired by LazyBear's Impulse MACD concept: tradingview.com/v/qt6xLfLi/
Those differences are exactly what make the pairing useful. The goal is not to make standard MACD and Impulse MACD behave alike, but to give them a common language for magnitude and direction. When both expand together, when one begins to roll over before the other, when their histograms disagree, or when the developing higher timeframe confirms one side of the picture, those relationships become much easier to see and interpret.
➖The Normalized Momentum Scale➖
The core of the indicator is the Normalized Momentum Scale, or NMS. Each raw MACD-derived value is first divided by ATR14. This changes the question from:
“How many price units apart are these values?” to: “How large is this momentum displacement relative to the instrument's current volatility?”
That first normalization step makes the measurement substantially more portable across instruments and timeframes. But simply plotting ATR-normalized values on a linear scale creates another problem. Most ordinary momentum activity remains clustered relatively close to zero, while occasional large expansions can stretch the scale dramatically. NMS addresses that by applying a monotonic nonlinear transfer to the ATR-relative value and mapping it onto a fixed -100 to +100 coordinate. The scale deliberately provides more visual resolution through the region where momentum spends most of its time, while progressively compressing increasingly uncommon volatility-relative excursions toward the outer limits.
Its principal absolute-value calibration points are 0.70 ATR → 34, 1.25 ATR → 55, 2.50 ATR → 65, 4.00 ATR → 75, 7.00 ATR → 89, 12.0 ATR → 95, and 20.0 ATR → 100.
This is not a percentage scale, probability scale, RSI-style oscillator, or automatic overbought/oversold model. A reading of 75 does not mean “75% bullish.” It means that the underlying momentum displacement has reached a particular standardized magnitude relative to prevailing volatility. Because the transformation is monotonic, the ordering of MACD and its Signal is preserved. A bullish MACD crossover before normalization remains a bullish crossover after normalization.
➖Standard MACD➖
The standard MACD side defaults to the familiar 12 / 26 / 9 configuration, with all three lengths exposed in Settings. MACD and MACD Signal are independently normalized against ATR14 and then mapped through NMS. This preserves their crossover relationship while placing both lines on the common -100 to +100 momentum coordinate. The shaded region between them makes expansion and contraction easier to see. When MACD leads Signal, the pair assumes the bullish family color; when Signal leads MACD, it assumes the bearish family color.
The MACD Histogram is treated separately and importantly. The script first calculates the true raw histogram — MACD minus Signal — before normalization. That raw difference is then divided by ATR14 and independently mapped through NMS. This matters because subtracting two values after they have already passed through a nonlinear scale would distort the actual histogram magnitude.
➖Impulse MACD➖
Impulse MACD provides a second view of momentum. Its default architecture uses a 34-period smoothed High/Low envelope, a 34-period zero-lag EMA centerline, and a 9-period Signal. Both lengths are user-adjustable. The Impulse value remains at zero while its centerline is contained within the smoothed envelope and begins expressing signed momentum as that centerline moves beyond the envelope. This gives it a different character from standard MACD and can make the comparison between the two especially useful during transitions.
Impulse MACD and its Signal are normalized and mapped through the exact same NMS architecture as standard MACD. Its histogram is also calculated from the true raw difference first — Impulse MACD minus Impulse Signal — and only then normalized by ATR14 and mapped through NMS. That gives the indicator two genuinely different momentum models without sacrificing a common measurement framework.
➖Reading the two together➖
The indicator is not intended to answer only whether momentum is bullish or bearish. Its larger purpose is to show how two different momentum constructions are behaving relative to one another. When standard MACD and Impulse MACD are both expanding in the same direction, momentum is being expressed through both the conventional EMA relationship and the filtered Impulse framework. When one begins contracting, crossing, or changing direction before the other, that disagreement can reveal a transition that would be less obvious when either indicator is viewed alone.
The histograms add another layer. Their sign identifies current MACD-versus-Signal ownership, while their NMS magnitude shows how large that separation is relative to volatility. A small positive histogram just above zero and a positive histogram near 55 are therefore not visually treated as equivalent momentum conditions.
➖Developing higher-timeframe context➖
A Developing Auto-Next-HTF MACD Histogram is included as a higher-timeframe reference.
This is not the chart-timeframe histogram resampled onto a higher timeframe. The complete MACD calculation is performed natively inside the automatically selected next higher timeframe using the same user-selected Fast, Slow, and Signal lengths. That higher timeframe also calculates its own ATR14 before the histogram is mapped through NMS. The result gives a direct view of whether the local histogram is aligned with, diverging from, or potentially moving ahead of the developing momentum structure one timeframe above. Because this is intentionally a Developing HTF value, it can change while the current higher-timeframe candle remains open. It should be treated as live context rather than a confirmed higher-timeframe signal.
➖Focused NMS guide levels➖
The right side of the oscillator uses the semantic ladder 0, ±13, ±34, ±55, ±75, ±89 and ±100, but the indicator intentionally does not display every level all the time. Zero remains the permanent center reference. Other guide levels appear only when currently visible momentum geometry is actually approaching them. The guide engine considers standard MACD, MACD Signal, MACD Histogram, Developing HTF Histogram, Impulse MACD, Impulse Signal, and Impulse Histogram. A distant -75 level, for example, is not displayed merely because it is the next available rung below the current MACD value. This keeps the scale contextual and reduces unnecessary visual clutter while still making important momentum zones visible as they become relevant. Again, these levels should not automatically be interpreted as support/resistance or overbought/oversold thresholds. They are reference points on the standardized momentum scale.
➖Right-side labels➖
Current NMS values are displayed directly beside the oscillator through a compact right-label system. The MACD family and Impulse family each track the age of their most recent crossover using an inclusive bars-ago convention, where the crossover candle itself is 1ba. Crossover age also follows directional ownership. During a bullish MACD state, the age appears with MACD; during a bearish state, it appears with MACD Signal. The same convention is used for Impulse MACD and Impulse Signal. This makes it possible to see not only which component currently owns the pair, but also how long that relationship has been active.
➖Price-pane momentum context➖
The indicator can also project its histogram state onto the main price chart without moving the oscillator out of its pane. Optional force-overlay candles use the chart's actual Open, High, Low, and Close. Only their color is supplied by the momentum engine. Users can choose either MACD Histogram or Impulse Histogram as the candle-color source, with MACD Histogram selected by default. The candle body, wick, and border have independent transparency controls.
➖Customization➖
The default presentation is intentionally designed to show the relationship between the two systems while remaining readable. MACD / Signal and Impulse MACD / Signal default to line presentation, while both true histograms remain available as histogram plots. Historical display windows, widths, transparency, fills, labels, and plot styles can all be adjusted.
Color customization has been kept intentionally simple. The entire standard MACD family shares one Bull / Bear / Neutral palette, while the entire Impulse family shares a separate Bull / Bear / Neutral palette. This keeps the visual language consistent without requiring a separate color control for every individual plot.
➖How I use the scale➖
I generally begin with direction around zero, then look at which member owns each MACD/Signal pair, followed by the magnitude and direction of the histograms. From there, the NMS level provides context for how significant that momentum condition is relative to volatility.
A crossover occurring near the center of the scale may represent a very different market condition from a crossover occurring after one family has already expanded toward 55, 75, or beyond.
The Developing HTF Histogram then provides a final layer of context: is the next timeframe reinforcing the local move, opposing it, or beginning to turn?
The value of the indicator is therefore less about finding one “magic” level and more about seeing direction, magnitude, agreement, disagreement, expansion, contraction, crossover age, and higher-timeframe alignment in one standardized momentum framework.
➖Important note➖
The Normalized Momentum Scale changes the representation of momentum magnitude, not the underlying MACD relationships themselves.
Standard MACD remains standard MACD. Impulse MACD remains its own separate momentum construction. NMS simply gives both a common volatility-relative coordinate so their behavior can be compared more meaningfully.
The current chart bar and the Developing HTF series can both evolve while their respective candles are open. As with any technical indicator, this tool is intended to provide analytical context rather than predict future price movement with certainty.

This is not a percentage scale, probability scale, RSI-style oscillator, or automatic overbought/oversold model. A reading of 75 does not mean “75% bullish.” It means that the underlying momentum displacement has reached a particular standardized magnitude relative to prevailing volatility. Because the transformation is monotonic, the ordering of MACD and its Signal is preserved. A bullish MACD crossover before normalization remains a bullish crossover after normalization.

リリースノート
Attribution / prior work: This update adds explicit credit to Alex Spiroglou and his published MACD-V: Volatility Normalised Momentum work, which established an important ATR-normalized MACD framework. MACD-V uses a linear MACD ÷ ATR26 × 100 calculation and derives its Signal from that normalized series. This indicator uses a different architecture: conventional raw MACD, Signal, and Histogram are calculated first, independently normalized by ATR14, and then mapped through the nonlinear bounded Normalized Momentum Scale (NMS).
I appreciate Alex bringing his prior work to my attention, and his original MACD-V publication can be found here:
