Moving Average Convergence Divergence with Enhanced Cross Alerts
Overview of Features and Settings
- Customizable Parameters:
- Fast and Slow Periods: Users can set the duration for both the fast (default 12) and slow (default 26) moving averages.
- Source Selection: The indicator uses the closing price (close) by default, though this can be modified to any other data source.
- Signal Smoothing: The smoothing period for the signal line is adjustable (default 9), and you can choose whether to use SMA or EMA for both the oscillator and the signal line calculations.
Calculation Logic
1. Calculation of Moving Averages:
- The fast and slow moving averages are computed based on the chosen moving average type (SMA or EMA) over the specified periods.
- The MACD line is then determined as the difference between these two moving averages.
2. Signal Line and Histogram:
- Signal Line: Created by smoothing the MACD line, with the option to choose between SMA and EMA.
- Histogram: Represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, visually indicating the divergence between the two.
Detection of Cross Events
The script identifies two specific cross events with additional filtering conditions:
- Bullish Cross:
- The MACD line **crosses above** the signal line.
- The previous value of the histogram is negative, and both the MACD and the signal line are below zero.
- This condition suggests that a cross occurring in the negative territory might indicate a potential upward trend reversal.
- **Bearish Cross:**
- The MACD line **crosses below** the signal line.
- The previous value of the histogram is positive, and both the MACD and the signal line are above zero.
- This condition indicates that a cross in the positive territory may signal a potential downward trend reversal.
For each event, there are dedicated alert conditions defined that trigger notifications when the criteria are met.
Visualization
- Displayed Elements:
- Histogram: Rendered as a column chart with colors that change based on the rate of change. For instance, a rising positive histogram uses a stronger green, whereas a declining positive histogram uses a lighter shade.
- MACD and Signal Lines: Displayed as separate lines with distinct colors to differentiate them.
- Zero Line: A horizontal line is drawn to help visually pinpoint the zero level.
- Crossing Signals:
- Optional markers in the form of arrows appear on the chart:
- **Bullish Cross: A green, upward-pointing triangle at the bottom.
- **Bearish Cross: A red, downward-pointing triangle at the top.
Summary
This indicator not only incorporates the traditional MACD components but also offers the following additional benefits:
- **Enhanced Accuracy:** Extra conditions (such as checking the previous histogram value and the position of the lines relative to zero) improve the identification of significant cross events.
- **Customization:** Users can personalize the moving average types and periods, making the indicator adaptable to different trading strategies.
- **Visual Assistance:** The combination of histogram columns, lines, and markers helps quickly pinpoint potential trend reversals, thereby aiding trading decisions.
This comprehensive description is intended to clearly demonstrate to users how the indicator works, outlining its calculations, filtering conditions, and its role in identifying cross events within technical analysis.

Ultimate Trading BotHow the "Ultimate Trading Bot" Works:
This Pine Script trading bot executes buy and sell trades based on a combination of technical indicators:
Indicators Used:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures momentum and determines overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels.
A crossover above 30 suggests a potential buy, and a cross below 70 suggests a potential sell.
Moving Average (MA)
A simple moving average (SMA) of 50 periods to track the trend.
Prices above the MA indicate an uptrend, while prices below indicate a downtrend.
Stochastic Oscillator (%K and %D)
Identifies overbought and oversold conditions using a smoothed stochastic formula.
A crossover of %K above %D signals a buy, and a crossover below %D signals a sell.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Uses a 12-period fast EMA and a 26-period slow EMA, with a 9-period signal line.
A crossover of MACD above the signal line suggests a bullish move, and a cross below suggests bearish movement.
Trade Execution:
Buy (Long Entry) Conditions:
RSI crosses above 30 (indicating recovery from an oversold state).
The closing price is above the 50-period moving average (showing an uptrend).
The MACD line crosses above the signal line (indicating upward momentum).
The Stochastic %K crosses above %D (indicating bullish momentum).
→ If all conditions are met, the bot enters a long (buy) position.
Sell (Exit Trade) Conditions:
RSI crosses below 70 (indicating overbought conditions).
The closing price is below the 50-period moving average (downtrend).
The MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish signal).
The Stochastic %K crosses below %D (bearish momentum).
→ If all conditions are met, the bot closes the long position.
Visuals:
The bot plots the moving average, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic indicators for reference.
It also displays buy/sell signals with arrows:
Green arrow (Buy Signal) → When all buy conditions are met.
Red arrow (Sell Signal) → When all sell conditions are met.
How to Use It in TradingView:
Moving Average Convergence DivergenceThis script creates a MACD indicator that not only plots the MACD histogram but also highlights when the histogram switches from rising to falling (or vice versa), which can be useful for identifying potential reversals. The indicator also includes customizable options such as the lengths of the fast and slow EMAs, the type of moving averages used, and the Signal line smoothing period. Alerts are triggered when the MACD histogram changes direction, and a zero line is plotted for better visual reference.
Moving Average Convergence DivergenceA MACD with option for logarithmic or regular scale.
This indicator presents bullish or bearish 'flags' based on the most recent signal cross and asset price divergence. If the price moves up and the macd continues trending down, a bearish divergence is flagged. if the price moves down and the macd continues moving up, a bullish divergence is flagged.
VMACD IndicatorVolume-Weighted MACD Indicator. You can turn volume-weighted off to get "regular" MACD, and you can change the scaling of the histogram to make it stand out more.
MACD+Features:
Allows for each MA to use EMA, WMA or SMA independently.
Adds a configurable fill between the MACD line and Signal lines.
Volume Weighted MACD with Named PlotsLiterally just copied VWMACD but named the plot lines to make setting alerts more clear.
MACD_TracerSimple Script for a very fast MACD
Best used as an Indicator Overlay for studying detailed movement.
Indicator over Indicator
Using as a Indicator overlay. You must drag and drop an indicator over another indicator. After you have the visual of both indicators in one indicator box, you must go to CHART PROPERTIES and SCALE LEFT . This way both your indicators are scaled to same axis.
Analysis
Having both indicators allows me the ability to better detect what the indicator is specialized to do. In this case I have one indicator that has strength at detecting Momentum shifts and the other detects Divergences.
Reverse Moving Average Convergence Divergence [CC]The Reverse Macd was created by Johnny Dough (Stocks and Commodities Jan 2012) and this is another indicator in my ongoing series to find those hidden gems. This indicator works in a few very powerful ways. For example the blue line shows you what the current price would be if the macd was at the macd level that you choose. I set the default to 0 but feel free to change it if you want. This will give you short to medium term info by telling you if it is an uptrend when the price is above the blue line or vice versa. It also creates the reverse macd line and it's signal line by using information from the previous day to decompile the macd and show you the price that it would be at if the macd was at that level. It turns this into a new moving average that closely tracks price movements and with the two competing signals, gives you more than enough info to find the perfect entry and exit points. Like always I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors are strong signals and lighter colors are normal signals. Buy when the line is green and sell when it is red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Moving Average Convergence Divergence On Alter OBVOBV:
The OBV is perfect indicator to understand the strength of the particular stock. As the strength increase, the trend of the stock goes high along with price. But, the OBV is considered only with close of previous close which is to make sure the double confirmation on the price to accumulate the volume.
Altered OBV:
So, here is the altered OBV, which basically consider the close of previous close and also buying interested of the day when close is higher than open.
MACD:
I always admire the magic of MACD with pre-defined timeframe. Now, this MACD applied on top of altered OBV to signal us the moving of the ticker strength.
I hope the another MACDAltOBV would help on your swing trading strategy.
Happy Investing.

MACD_base_and_reference_TF//====================================================================================================================
The "MACD_with_reference" indicator aims to illustrate the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) on two distinct timeframes: the base timeframe (typically the chart's timeframe, e.g., 1D) and the reference timeframe (defaulted to 1W). This tool provides a means to determine momentum shifts within the stock, potentially guiding traders in adjusting or trimming positions.
// ================================================== INFO ==================================================
Key Features of the Indicator:
- Dual Timeframe MACD: Displays MACD on both the primary (base) and higher (reference) timeframes - transparent.
- Momentum Analysis: indication of MACD crossdown of the signal line on the refenence TF to indicate momentum loss on the higher timeframe, guiding decisions to manage positions.
- MACD Line Status: Beneath the chart, a red/green bar line signifies the MACD line's position relative to the signal line on the higher timeframe.
- Alert Creation: Allows for alerts on the MACD and signal line crossdown on the higher timeframe, aiding in planning stop-loss settings for owned stocks.
// ================================================== NOTES ==================================================
The "MACD_with_reference" indicator finds optimal usage in several scenarios:
- Chart Analysis: Replacing the MACD indicator during chart reviews.
- Alert Setup: Setting alerts for owned stocks to plan ahead for stop-loss placements or position closures.

MACD ReLoaded STRATEGYSTRATEGY version of MACD ReLOADED Indicator:
A different approach to Gerald Appel's classical Moving Average Convergence Divergence.
Appel originaly set MACD with exponential moving averages.
In this version users can apply 11 different types of moving averages which they can benefit from their smoothness and vice versa sharpnesses...
Built in Moving Average type defaultly set as VAR but users can choose from 11 different Moving Average types like:
SMA : Simple Moving Average
EMA : Exponential Moving Average
WMA : Weighted Moving Average
DEMA : Double Exponential Moving Average
TMA : Triangular Moving Average
VAR : Variable Index Dynamic Moving Average a.k.a. VIDYA
WWMA : Welles Wilder's Moving Average
ZLEMA : Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average
TSF : True Strength Force
HULL : Hull Moving Average
TILL : Tillson T3 Moving Average
In shorter time frames backtest results shows us TILL, WWMA, VIDYA (VAR) could be used to overcome whipsaws because they have less numbers of signals.
In longer time frames like daily charts WMA, Volume Weighted MACD V2, and MACDAS and SMA are more accurate according to backtest results.
My interpretation of Buff Dormeier's Volume Weighted MACD V2:
Thomas Aspray's MACD: (MACDAS)
