MACD-AO MACD-AO is programmed by Ruben Jaramillo
MACD-AO , short for moving average convergence/divergence, is a trading indicator used in technical analysis of stock prices, created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. It is supposed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price.
The MACD-AO indicator (oscillator) is a collection of three time series calculated from historical price data, most often the closing price. These three series are: the MACD-AO series proper, the "signal" or "average" series, and the "divergence" series which is the difference between the two. The MACD-AO series is the difference between a "fast" (short period) exponential moving average (EMA), and a "slow" (longer period) EMA of the price series. The average series is an EMA of the MACD-AO series itself.
The MACD-AO indicator thus depends on three time parameters, namely the time constants of the three EMAs. The notation " MACD-AO (a,b,c)" usually denotes the indicator where the MACD-AO series is the difference of EMAs with characteristic times a and b, and the average series is an EMA of the MACD-AO series with characteristic time c. These parameters are usually measured in days. The most commonly used values are 12, 26, and 9 days, that is, MACD-AO (12,26,9). As true with most of the technical indicators, MACD-AO also finds its period settings from the old days when technical analysis used to be mainly based on the daily charts. The reason was the lack of the modern trading platforms which show the changing prices every moment. As the working week used to be 6-days, the period settings of (12, 26, 9) represent 2 weeks, 1 month and one and a half week. Now when the trading weeks have only 5 days, possibilities of changing the period settings cannot be overruled. However, it is always better to stick to the period settings which are used by the majority of traders as the buying and selling decisions based on the standard settings further push the prices in that direction.
The MACD-AO and average series are customarily displayed as continuous lines in a plot whose horizontal axis is time, whereas the divergence is shown as a bar graph (often called a histogram).
A fast EMA responds more quickly than a slow EMA to recent changes in a stock's price. By comparing EMAs of different periods, the MACD-AO series can indicate changes in the trend of a stock. It is claimed that the divergence series can reveal subtle shifts in the stock's trend.
Since the MACD-AO is based on moving averages, it is inherently a lagging indicator. As a metric of price trends, the MACD-AO is less useful for stocks that are not trending (trading in a range) or are trading with erratic price action.

Librehash Reversion Ribbon V2Out of all the indicators created by this brand, this is probably the grandest of them all.
Known as the ‘ZN Reversion Ribbon V2’, for short, this indicator is designed to:
1. Create multiple buy and sell signals
2. Help users gauge the momentum of the price movement.
3. Re-color candles to give users a better understanding of price direction as well as plotting entries and exits.
4. Serve as an enhanced version of the MACD indicator.
5. Effectively gauge buy and sell pressure at any given point in time by using former price data.
There are a lot of moving parts to this indicator, so this guide will be dedicated to dissecting these moving parts, piece by piece.
#1 — Histogram
Perhaps the simplest part of the indicator to dissect at the start is the Histogram. This is also the part of the indicator that can be the most important complement to any other readings that are being made.
You read the histogram in the same manner that you would read the Histogram for the MACD.
The bars in the background are the histogram. Reading this portion of the indicator is fairly simple though.
1. As the green bars get darker, the buy pressure is increasing.
2. As the red bars get darker, the sell pressure is increasing.
3. If the current bar is larger than the last, the trend is sustained. This is the same principle that you would observe in the MACD. The core difference, however, is that this indicator is plugged in with a specific formula (beyond just the basic moving averages), that make them more responsive to price movement in a way that allows for the anticipation of signals being formed.
#2 — Ribbon
The ribbon on this indicator has about 3 different buy/sell signals embedded within it that will allow traders to anticipate an impending change in trend well before it EVER occurs.
This may be the most valuable part of the indicator itself.
Let’s start with the first facet of the ribbon.
A) — The ‘widening’ of the ribbon
When the ribbon ‘expands’, that means that the trend is ‘strengthening’ or growing. When the ribbon narrows or ‘contracts’, that means that the trend is becoming weaker and that this may serve as a warning of impending trend reversal.
In the picture above, you can see the color change of the ribbon itself as well.
You’ll notice that the ribbon transitions from a darker red to a lighter red. That’s a sign of waning sell pressure. You can apply this concept to the green portion of the ribbon too.
B)— The Line Sometimes Signals Before the Cross
This one is a bit harder to explain, but the way that the indicator is programmed is not to turn ‘green’ or ‘red’ based on the crosses, but rather on a mathematical formula.
Now, because of the way the indicator is programmed, the cross often coincides with the color change — but not always.
Below is an example:
Of course, beyond this, there are the usual buy and sell signals that come with the MACD as well.
For instance, there is —
C) The Change in Direction of the is a ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’ Signal As Well
--------------
Changes in the Candle Colors
Perhaps the most elaborate part of this indicator is the fact that it changes the colors of the candles on the chart in live time without repainting.
In order to understand the candles, here’s a quick guide:
a) dark green with green outline = extreme buy pressure
b) lighter green with green outline = normal buy pressure
c) dark red = heavy sell pressure
d) light red = light sell pressure
e) dark green with red outline = impending reversal downward
f) purple with any outline = ambiguous / neutral
g) light green with red outline = very, very weak sell pressure
h) dark green with red outline = exhausted buy pressure
f) dark red with green outline = exhausted sell pressure
Effectiveness of Indicator
This indicator has the ability to be a ‘game changer’ in terms of its ability to dissect price action.
This next picture is another awesome example of how this indicator works.
Check it out:
Here are the multiple reasons why we could’ve anticipated the reversal in price direction before red candles started showing up:
1. The actual reversion lines themselves began to converge.
2. The Histogram is declining.
3. The bar colors move from dark green to light green.
Now, you may be looking at the above picture and thinking, ‘Well it seems that it didn’t catch the major upswing in the price later though’.
This is true, however —
The gain from this move was preposterous.
Even still, the indicator ensures that we still garner some pretty significant profits.
Conclusion
What you see here sums up this indicator for the most part. However, there are continued updates that will be put out for the indicator in the near future as well.
As always, these can be pushed directly through TradingView (which will happen soon).
MACD - Baby WhaleI spiced the standard MACD indicator up a bit to make it more visible.
When using the MACD:
1. Never go short when the MACD lines are in the negative.
2. Never go long when the MACD lines are in the positive.
3. Always wait for an uptick / downtick on the histogram before you start your trade.
The MACD Histogram can also show you Divergence.
When the price goes up but the Histogram can't make new highs, it might be a good time to think about shorting.
If you want access, just send a message please.
Much love from Baby Whale!!

🕟𝕄🕗𝕋🕛𝔽 Madness MTF Grid by 🇨🇷🇾🇵🇹🇴🇷🇹🇭🇾🇭🇲🇸Here is a short description. This indicator being free will not have documentation for ALL things. Just the basics. There are 5 indicators included in it which I will not go into how each one works. There is ALOT of info on all the indicators included in here, just use google for that.
📊For each "row" of colored bands this represents one indicator. This is meant to be used on the 15m (or less) timeframe, and it looks up into higher TF's. It is meant to be maximized, so have this open in one tab and the chart on another. Dual Monitors are best. All options and Time frames are fully configurable inputs.
📈Indicators from top to bottom are:
1.)Polarity Filtration - 6 Timeframes
2.) Price Volume Trend - 4 Timeframes
3.) Stochastic RSI - 4 Timeframe Grid, and Current Timeframe in lines/ribbons
4.) MACD Crossovers - 8 Timeframes
5.)SuperTrend - 4 Timeframes
⏲Inside each larger "band" there are smaller rows. Each of these small rows represents one timeframe (30m, 60, 2h, 4h, etc) What timeframes you choose for them is completely configurable althought the current setup is already ideal to trade on 15m
⏲For these smaller rows the ones on top are highest timeframe(i.e. 4h) and the bottom small rows are lowest timeframe
⏲So each small row is like being able to check that indicator many timeframes at once. This will help you determine overall trends without switching to different timeframes on your chart all the time
📈The last piece of the puzzle is the background color. This background color is whether the chart is going up or down on the 1 hour heiken Ashi candle chart. Heiken ashi always shows up or down based on how they draw the candles, so its another useful trend indicator
👍If you enjoy MTF Madness all I ask in return is that you like the indicator and follow me on tradingview (profile here: www.tradingview.com)

Percentage Price OscillatorThe Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) is a momentum oscillator that measures the difference between two moving averages as a percentage of the larger moving average. As with its cousin, MACD, the Percentage Price Oscillator is shown with a signal line, a histogram and a center line. Signals are generated with signal line crossovers, center line crossovers, and divergences. More info here and here .
The indicator allows you to change the type of all moving averages (Simple, Exponential, Weighted, Volume-weighted, Triple EMA or a moving average that uses RSI ). The indicator also allows you to volume weight it(turned on by default), which will turn it into an indicator very similar to the Volume-Weighted Moving Average Convergence Divergence (VW-MACD) first used by Buff Pelz Dormeier in 2002 and described in detail in his book "Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends". If you want to weight the oscillator against the true range instead of volume this is also possible. By default, this will be done automatically for assets that do not support volume. By checking the box "MACD" you can also turn this indicator into a standard MACD indicator.
Ultimate MACD (UMACD) [cI8DH]Ultimate MACD ( UMACD ) includes True MACD fix, normalized MACD, multi time frame, bar coloring, and false cross avoidance options. It can also replicate Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator and Accelerator Oscillator. By default, this indicator is configured to work like the built-in MACD indicator. You need to customize it to your liking. Chart below shows example multi time frame setup.
True MACD and normalization
True MACD fix is similar to True RSI fix. The chart below proves that MACD is asymmetrical. This issue is most visible when analyzing charts across wide price ranges. It shows a logical problem in MACD, and most other indicators, as they can give you conflicting signals. For example, it can show long signal for both TRYUSD and its inverse pair USDTRY simultaneously. True MACD fixes this issue as shown in the chart below. Interestingly, this fix also normalizes MACD which is a major improvement upon regular MACD . (FYI, True MACD fix uses a different mechanism than my previous NMACD indicator.)
Avoiding false signals
This feature is very useful to avoid trading during sideways. To use this feature, set the std deviation multiplier option to a number greater than 1. I did some backtests on BTC chart with contract size set to 100% equity. It showed significant improvements for the time frames that I tested. (std deviation multiplier set to 1.5 @1h TF: 4x improvements, @2h: near 2x, 0.7 @4h: 2x, 0.4@12h: 3x, 0.4@daily: 1.5x). I also backtested True MACD fix separately and it showed significant improvement for most time frames.
Bar coloring
Bar coloring works similar to my previous indicators, Ultimate Money Flow and Ultimate RSI , and is subject to change in the future.
Bill Williams Awesome Oscillator and Accelerator Oscillator
Chart below both validates calculations in this indicator and also shows you how you can replicate Bill Williams AO indicators. You can apply all the features added to MACD to these indicators.
Here is a TL;DR list of my indicators to save you some time from looking at my obsolete indicators.
PS: I might publish the asymmetry fix as True MACD or as a general fix to all price-based indicators as an open source script in the future.
