21 Kas 2020What is Parent MACD ?
Parent MACD is standard MACD indicator with one additional parameter of Parent. Parent MACD is designed so that you should be able to see cyclical behavior of current trend without having to switch to higher timeframe.

Why You Need This Indicator ?
Technical Analysis is defined as Art of Identifying trend in its early stages and riding on that trend until weight of evidence shows or proves the trend has finally reversed.
Technical Trading is literally 2 step process,
STEP 1 Find Direction of Trend
STEP 2 Trade in Direction of Trend

The direction of trend is taken from higher timeframe (aka parent timeframe) than your trading timeframe. The parent timeframe is 4,5 or 6 times of your trading timeframe if noise is less, if noise is extreme 6,7 or 8 is used as parent. Default Parent in this indicator is 5 and can be modified according to need of trader.

This indicator will tell you that parent timeframe is gaining momentum, if parent is gianing momentum most likely the trading time frame will also gain momentum.
