In this MTF indicator, position of the MACD line is shown in relation to the signal/zero/histogram lines.

Old (Symbolic) Implementation

Excelent indicator.

Thank’s

Of course, if you give me Entry and Exit signals. I could think of several ways to implementat it.

Hi Apprentice, I think the idea of making a strategy from this indicator is very good. A strategy in which you could choose as entry signal the cross of the two EMA or MVA lines under zero and close when they cross aboce zero (but maybe some false signlas could start!!). Or you should insert, if it is possilbe, when the red line cross the blue line enter short, while long when the opposite happen.

Histogram is not shown.
MTF_MACD.lua
Multi Time Frame MACD
What are the buy & sell signals of the MTF MACD when
the circle is green & the sqaure is red and when the circle is red & the square is green
Thanks

In the current version I have not implemented the trading signals. Shows only the position and slope.
Green is Up Red Trend is Down

Ok, I know that, but in the chart above under the 4H time frame you have a Red Square & under it is a Green Circle, is the trend up or down? Why is one red & the other one green? In the 4H Time Frame with a red square first then under it a green circle, would you enter a long or short position?
Thanks

Red Square & under it is a Green Circle, is the trend up or down?
Green Circle tells us, the MACD is rising but it is still below the signal lines. Red Square tells us that the Signal is in decline, approaching the MACD line. You should take a close look at the actual chart. It seems that soon we will have long signal, but it is not happening yet.
Relying on color alone. No. Timing is critical, if you caught the change early enough, probably yes.
But for me this is for me a theoretical discussion, because I do not use indicators in my trading.

Is it possible to modify this indicator to use the histogram? Is there already an indicator available that provides this functionality?
Thanks in advance!!

Your request is added to the development list.
Apprentice · Wed May 14, 2014 8:02 am
I just added new implementation with Histogram. Old Version Is optimized a bit.

Thanks apprentice.

Thanks apprentice. Quick question, parts of the indicator doesn’t show up when you lower the timeframe.. Any idea why? Test it on m15.
Thanks in advance!!

Insufficient data is loaded to run correctly. Try re-download, I have increased the minimum data retrieval for one.

I’m wondering if there is already an MACD indicator that has its histogram bars turn red when below 0 and stay green when above 0? If not could this selection be added? Or even the option of choosing what two colours are to be used.

Try this version. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=229&p=322&hilit=macd#p322 In fact, this is one of the first things added to the forum.
MrRiversideDude · Sat Jun 07, 2014 6:25 pm
Hey Apprentice,
Sometimes this indicator is completely off, any idea why? The same timeframe will show different results depending in the TF of the current chart.
Thanks in advance for checking.
Apprentice · Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:18 am
Can you give me an example (with screen shot). My testing did not reveal this.
MrRiversideDude · Mon Jun 09, 2014 8:56 pm
Ok, if it happens again. I will.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Apprentice · Mon Apr 09, 2018 7:00 am
The indicator was revised and updated.
