APXTradez - Intraday RSI (8)🔹 APXTradez Intraday RSI (8)
Purpose:
A fast-reacting momentum and bias indicator built for intraday options and scalping setups. This version of RSI (8) identifies immediate shifts in strength, momentum slope, and trend bias—allowing traders to spot reversals, momentum builds, or choppy zones within seconds.
What It Shows
RSI (8) → ultra-responsive short-term strength indicator.
Bias Zones:
- Bull Bias (Green) – RSI rising above 55 with slope up → intraday long setups favored.
- Bear Bias (Red) – RSI falling below 45 with slope down → short setups favored.
- Chop (Gray) – Neutral area between 45–55 → reduced edge, wait for direction.
- Background Color: Highlights current bias (green/red/gray) for quick visual confirmation.
- Dynamic Label: Displays live bias text on chart (Bull, Bear, or Chop).
How to Use
Apply on 1m–15m charts for day trading or scalping options.
Trade in bias direction:
- Enter long when RSI crosses + slopes above 55 (bull bias).
- Enter short when RSI crosses + slopes below 45 (bear bias).
- Avoid chop zones (RSI between 45–55 or flat). Wait for a slope confirmation.
Combine with APX Intraday VWAP + EMA overlay, APX TTM Squeeze, and/or the APX MACD to align direction with trend and volume pressure.
Overbought/Oversold: Above 70 or below 30 still mark exhaustion zones — use for exits, not entries.
Best Use Case
Intraday confirmation of trend bias and momentum strength — helping you stay on the right side of fast-moving setups and avoid low-edge chop.
Ttmsqueeze
APXTradez - Intraday Overlay (VWAP + EMAs)🔹 APXTradez Intraday Overlay (VWAP + EMAs)
Purpose:
A clean, real-time intraday framework built for options scalpers and day traders.
This overlay combines VWAP, 8/21 EMAs, Bollinger Bands, and Keltner Channels to visualize short-term momentum, trend structure, and volatility compression directly on your chart.
What It Shows
8 EMA (teal) → Fast momentum and micro-trend direction.
21 EMA (orange) → Short-term trend confirmation and pullback zone.
VWAP (aqua) → Institutional average price; key intraday bias level.
Bollinger Bands (lime) → Standard deviation volatility envelope.
Keltner Channels (fuchsia) → ATR-based volatility range.
Compression Highlight (orange) → Shows when BBs are inside KCs, signaling volatility contraction and potential breakout setup.
How to Use
Apply on 1-min to 15-min charts for intraday trading.
Trend bias:
Price above VWAP and 8/21 EMA stack = bullish intraday momentum.
Price below VWAP and 8/21 EMA stack = bearish bias.
- Compression zones (orange highlights):
Indicates low-volatility consolidation → prepare for breakout.
Wait for breakout direction confirmation before entry.
Combine with momentum indicators (like APX TTM Squeeze, APX RSI or MACD) for confirmation.
Best Use Case
Scalping or day-trading options during high-volume sessions where VWAP and EMA structure drive precision entries and exits.
APXTradez - MACD🔹 APXTradez MACD — Summary & Usage Guide
Purpose
- The APXTradez MACD measures momentum shifts and trend reversals using exponential moving averages (EMAs).
- It helps you see when momentum changes direction before price fully reacts — perfect for catching early entries or confirming strength behind a move.
Core Components
- MACD Line (Aqua / Orange)
- Calculated as the difference between the 12 EMA and 26 EMA.
- Shows short-term vs. long-term momentum.
- Aqua: Fast EMA above slow EMA → bullish momentum building.
- Orange: Fast EMA below slow EMA → bearish momentum dominating.
- Signal Line (Blue)
- A 9-EMA of the MACD line that smooths the momentum swings.
When the MACD Line crosses above it → bullish crossover.
When the MACD Line crosses below it → bearish crossover.
-Histogram (Green/Red Columns)
Represents the distance between the MACD Line and Signal Line.
Lime = Bullish momentum expanding.
Faded Lime = Bullish momentum fading.
Red = Bearish momentum expanding.
Faded Red = Bearish momentum fading.
The histogram visually shows when momentum is increasing or losing strength.
-Zero Line
Center baseline separating bullish (above) and bearish (below) momentum.
Crosses through zero often mark early trend reversals.
How to Use It
1️⃣ Identify Trend Direction
- MACD Line above Signal Line & Histogram above Zero:
→ Bullish momentum. Confirms uptrend or call-side bias.
- MACD Line below Signal Line & Histogram below Zero:
→ Bearish momentum. Confirms downtrend or put-side bias.
2️⃣ Spot Momentum Shifts (Crossovers)
- Bullish Crossover:
MACD (Aqua) crosses above Signal (Blue).
→ Potential start of new upward leg or reversal.
- Bearish Crossover:
MACD (Orange) crosses below Signal (Blue).
→ Possible start of new downward leg.
These are your “momentum pivot” moments — strongest when aligned with a squeeze fire or RSI midline cross.
3️⃣ Read Momentum Strength (Histogram)
- Growing Lime bars → momentum accelerating upward.
- Shrinking Lime bars → bullish side fading.
- Growing Red bars → bearish momentum accelerating.
- Shrinking Red bars → bearish side weakening.
When you see histogram bars shrink or color fade, it often signals a pause or pullback before a potential flip.
4️⃣ Combine with APX Squeeze & RSI
- MACD crosses up + TTM Squeeze fires + RSI > 50 → powerful bullish swing signal.
- MACD crosses down + Squeeze fires down + RSI < 50 → strong bearish setup.
This triple-stack alignment confirms momentum, volatility, and sentiment all pointing in one direction.
- The APXTradez MACD is your momentum confirmation tool.
- It helps you visually see when momentum flips, builds, or fades, giving you precise entry timing inside larger swing or intraday setups.
- Used with the APX RSI and APX TTM Squeeze, it forms one of the three core pillars of the APX Momentum Framework — confirming when volatility, strength, and direction all align.
APXTradez - Swing RSI🔹 APXTradez Swing RSI — Summary & Usage Guide
Purpose
- The APXTradez Swing RSI measures momentum strength and exhaustion in a stock’s price movement.
- It tells you when price is overextended, balanced, or reversing, helping you time entries, exits, and confirmation on swing trades.
This version is tuned for clean visual momentum tracking during 2-to-5-day swings or multi-week trends.
Core Components
-RSI (14-period)
- Uses a standard 14-bar calculation on the closing price (or whichever source you choose).
- Ranges between 0 and 100, showing how strong the recent price push has been.
- Smooth enough for swing trading; reactive enough to catch early turns.
- Color-Coded RSI Line
White = Neutral zone (healthy price action).
Lime = Oversold (< 30) → buying opportunity or short-covering zone.
Red = Overbought (> 70) → profit-taking or potential pullback zone.
Color shifts automatically as RSI crosses key thresholds, so you see sentiment flips instantly.
Horizontal Levels
70 = Overbought (red dashed line)
30 = Oversold (lime dashed line)
50 = Midline (gray dotted line, optional toggle)
These levels frame the RSI’s “zones of strength.”
How to Use It
1️⃣ Identify Momentum Regime
-Above 50 → Bullish Bias
Momentum favors buyers. Use this to confirm call or long positions.
- Below 50 → Bearish Bias
Momentum favors sellers. Confirms put or short setups.
- The 50 midline is your “momentum compass.”
Crosses above or below often precede trend reversals.
2️⃣ Spot Extremes (30 / 70 Zones)
RSI > 70 = Overbought
Price is stretched; risk of pullback or short-term cooling.
→ Good area to trim longs or watch for reversal candles.
RSI < 30 = Oversold
Price is washed out; potential bounce forming.
→ Good area to look for bullish reversal + volume confirmation.
3️⃣ Combine with APX TTM Squeeze and Overlay
- When RSI > 50 and rising + TTM histogram bright teal + Squeeze fires black dot up → high-probability long swing.
- When RSI < 50 and falling + TTM histogram bright yellow + Squeeze fires down → high-probability short swing.
- When RSI flat around 50 → trendless; wait for compression + momentum confirmation.
4️⃣ Divergences (Advanced Use)
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, RSI makes a higher low → momentum turning up before price.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, RSI makes a lower high → momentum weakening.
- These signals are strongest when combined with a Squeeze firing or EMA crossover from your Swing Overlay.
Best Timeframes
Daily / 4-Hour: Ideal for swing entries and momentum tracking.
1-Hour: For fine-tuning entries inside larger setups.
- The APXTradez Swing RSI gives you a clean, visual read on who controls momentum and when that strength is fading or reversing.
- It’s not meant to predict exact tops or bottoms — it’s a confirmation and rhythm tool:
Use the 50-line for trend bias.
Use 30/70 for exhaustion.
Use color shifts for quick sentiment reads.
Combine with your APX Squeeze and Overlay for the complete swing-timing system.
APXTradez - Swing Overlay🔹 APX Swing Overlay – Summary & Usage Guide
Purpose
The APX Swing Overlay is built for options swing traders who focus on 1–5 day directional moves.
It visually identifies trend strength, compression zones, and momentum buildup using a combination of EMAs, Bollinger Bands, and Keltner Channels — making it ideal for spotting breakouts early.
Core Components
8 EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
- Tracks short-term price action and momentum.
- Price above = bullish continuation; price below = short-term weakness.
- Acts as the first dynamic support/resistance level.
21 EMA
- Captures the mid-term trend (confirmation layer).
- When the 8 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA → bullish shift.
- When the 8 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA → bearish or consolidation signal.
Bollinger Bands (BB)
- Measures volatility around price.
- When the bands tighten, volatility is compressing → expect expansion soon.
- When the bands expand, volatility is releasing → breakout or breakdown in play.
Keltner Channels (KC)
- Uses ATR to show “normal” price movement range.
- When Bollinger Bands move inside the Keltner Channels, it signals a squeeze — price is coiling up for a potential breakout.
- Compression Highlights
- The overlay visually marks when BB are inside KC (low volatility squeeze).
- These zones are shaded or highlighted so you can easily see when a stock is building pressure.
- Once price exits that zone with momentum, it often begins a new swing leg.
How to Use It
Add to Chart : Apply the APX Swing Overlay on your daily or 4-hour timeframe.
Look for Compression:
- Watch for areas where the bands tighten and the compression highlight appears.
- This means volatility is low — expect an expansion soon.
- Wait for Expansion + EMA Confirmation:
- A breakout above both the 8 & 21 EMA, with bands expanding, signals a potential long swing.
- A breakdown below both EMAs with expanding bands signals potential short swing.
Ride the Trend:
- Stay in the trade as long as price respects the 8 EMA.
- Take profit when momentum slows or the 8 crosses back below the 21 EMA.
Best Timeframes
Daily Chart → Ideal for swing setups (2–5 day hold).
4H Chart → Good for early entry timing and breakout confirmation.
Quick Visual Interpretation
Signal Meaning
8 > 21 and expanding BB Bullish trend continuation
8 < 21 and expanding BB Bearish continuation

Squeeze Momentum DeluxeThe Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive trading toolkit built with features of momentum, volatility, and price action. This script offers a suite for both mean reversion and trend-following analysis. Developed based on the original TTM Squeeze implementation by @LazyBear, this indicator introduces several innovative components to enhance your trading insights.
🔲 Components and Features
Momentum Oscillator - as rooted in the TTM Squeeze, quantifies the relationship between price and its extremes over a defined period. By normalizing the calculation, the values become comparable throughout time and across securities, allowing for a nuanced assessment of Bullish and Bearish momentum. Furthermore, by presenting it as a ribbon with a signal line we gain additional information about the direction of price swings.
Squeeze Bars - The original squeeze concept is based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel , once the BB resides inside the KC a squeeze occurs. By understanding their fundamentals a new form of calculation can be inferred.
method bb(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) => method kc(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma (src, len) float basis = ta.sma (src, len)
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len) float rng = ta.atr ( len)
float upper = basis + dev * mult float upper = basis + rng * mult
float lower = basis - dev * mult float lower = basis - rng * mult
Both BB and KC are constructed upon a moving average with the addition of Standard Deviation and Average True Range respectively. Therefore, the calculation can be transformed to when the Stdev is lower than the ATR a squeeze occurs.
method sqz(float src, simple int len) =>
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len)
float atr = ta.atr ( len)
dev < atr ? true : false
This indicator uses three different thresholds for the ATR to gain three levels of price "Squeeze" for further analysis.
Directional Flux- This component measures the overall direction of price volatility, offering insights into trend sentiment. Presented as waves in the background, it includes an OverFlux feature to signal extreme market bias in a particular direction which can signal either exhaustion or vital continuation. Additionally, the user can choose if to base the calculation on Heikin-Ashi Candles to bias the tool toward trend assessment.
Confluence Gauges - Placed at the top and bottom of the indicator, these gauges measure confluence in the relationship between the Momentum Oscillator and Directional Flux. They provide traders with an easily interpretable visual aid for detecting market sentiment. Reversal doritos displayed alongside them contribute to mean reversion analysis.
Divergences (Real-Time) - Equipped with a custom algorithm, the indicator detects real-time divergences between price and the oscillator. This dynamic feature enhances your ability to spot potential trend reversals as they occur.
🔲 Settings
Directional Flux Length - Adjusts the period of which the background volatility waves operate on.
Trend Bias - Bases the calculation of the Flux to HA candles to bias its behavior toward the trend of price action.
Squeeze Momentum Length - Calibrates the length of the main oscillator ribbon as well as the period for the squeeze algorithm.
Signal - Controls the width of the ribbon. Lower values result in faster responsiveness at the cost of premature positives.
Divergence Sensitivity - Adjusts a threshold to limit the amount of divergences detected based on strength. Higher values result in less detections, stronger structure.

Squeeze Range: Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channels [Whvntr]Presenting Squeeze Range: Bollinger Bands / Keltner Channels
TTMSqueeze method is a volatility and momentum indicator introduced by John Carter of Simpler Trading, which capitalizes on the tendency for price to break out strongly after consolidating in a tight trading range.
How did I make this indicator? The Bollinger Bands & Keltner Channels base scripts are from the standard indicators of their class in the Technicals section... I made this indicator first then noticed there were 3 others with a similar concept, but this differs in it's unique features and application of the TTMSqueeze strategy. This indicator plots the True Range of the Keltner Channel (Customizable in 'Bands Style" in the Inputs Menu) the instances the Bollinger Bands are within the range of the Keltner channel (the market just entered a squeeze).
Featuring: customizable Moving Averages
1. Exponential (Default for both BB & KC)
2. Simple
3. RMA (MA used in RSI )
Keltner channels have a multiplier of 2 & 3 on the Chart (3 being the outer).
How do I use this indicator? Once the teal dots are inside the solid red lines this would indicate that TTMperiod of low market volatility (the market is preparing itself for an explosive move up or down). Do some research and study how to use the TTMSqueeze method by John Carter. Disclaimer: not a guarantee of future favorable results.
TTM Regression°This oscillator attempts to provide context to John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" indicator.
Similar to my MAR° indicator, statistically significant areas based on the past n candles (Lookback) are calculated to provide context for the y-axis values of the TTM indicator.
Note that Carter's squeeze idea has been dropped in favour of the regression bands, in that they offer a clear visual momentum squeeze condition.
The regression bands identify temporary exhaustion of bullish (purple) and bearish (green) momentum; these could potentially be seen as overbought and oversold indications.
The dotted midlines dictate intra-zones where momentum could reverse to continue the larger trend.
All the latter behave similarly to Support and Resistance zones.
The oscillator can also be normalized over a given interval to show results on a scale between 0 and 100, preserving even more context over time.
You should experiment for yourself to find out what is best for you in terms of scale, and Normalization Period.
Normalization Example: on the left you can observe how the momentum is visualized differently based on the scale, given the rapid momentum to the upside.
// –––. Regular
// –––. Normalized
It's crucial to use this oscillator as confluence only and not to take trades based solely on its indications.
At the moment there are no alerts set for this script, open to suggestions :)
Stacked EMAsStacked Daily & Weekly EMAs + Labels
Pretty much self-explanatory indicator that shows the current momentum based on the key exponential moving averages.
Three stages of the EMAs:
1. Stacked Positively (Bullish) - EMAs are stacked on top of each other which represents a healthy bullish uptrend (green Label).
2. Stacked Negatively (Bearish) - EMAs are stacked below each other meaning the trend is bearish (red label).
3. Stacked Neutral (Neutral) - EMAs are crossing each other without any clear direction = chop (yellow label).
Hope it helps.
TTM Squeeze Pro BarsCredits:
-> John Carter creating the TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro
-> Lazybear's original interpretation of the TTM Squeeze: Squeeze Momentum Indicator
-> Makit0's evolution of Lazybear's script to factor in the TTM Squeeze Pro upgrades - Squeeze PRO Arrows
This is my version of their collective works, with amendments primarily to the Squeeze Conditions to more accurately reflect the color coding used by the official TMM Squeeze Pro indicator.
Rather than having a separate indicator window, the TTM Squeeze Pro is now overlaid on the price bars for easier viewing.
For those unfamiliar with the TTM Squeeze, it is simply a visual way of seeing how Bollinger Bands (standard deviations from a simple moving average ) relate to Keltner Channels ( average true range bands) compared with the momentum of the price action. The concept is that as Bollinger Bands compress within Keltner Channels , price volatility decreases, giving way for a potential explosive price movement up or down.
Differences between the original TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro:
-> Both use a 2 standard deviation Bollinger Band ;
-> The original squeeze only used a 1.5 ATR Keltner Channel; and
-> The pro version uses 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ATR Keltner Channels .
The pro version therefore helps differentiate between levels of squeeze (compression) as the Bollinger Bands moves through the Keltner Channels i.e. the greater the compression, the more potential for explosive moves - less compression means more squeezing.
The Histogram shows price momentum whereas the colored dots (along the zeroline) show where the Bollinger Bands are in relation to the Keltner Channels:
-> Cyan Bars = positive, increasing momentum;
-> Blue Bars = positive, decreasing momentum (indication of a reversal in price direction);
-> Red Bars = negative, increasing momentum;
-> Yellow Bars = negative, decreasing momentum (indication of a reversal in price direction);
-> Orange Dots = High Compression / large squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 1st (1.0 ATR) Keltner Channel);
-> Red Dots = Medium Squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 2nd (1.5 ATR) Keltner Channel);
-> Black Dots = Low compression / wide squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 3rd (2.0 ATR) Keltner Channels );
-> Green Dots = No Squeeze / Squeeze Fired (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is outside of the 3rd (2.0 ATR) Keltner Channel).
Ideal Scenario:
As the ticker enters the squeeze, black dots would warn of the beginning of a low compression squeeze. As the Bollinger bands continue to constrict within the Keltner Channels , red dots would highlight a medium compression. As the price action and momentum continues to compress an orange dot shows warning of high compression. As price action leaves the squeeze, the coloring would reverse e.g. orange to red to black to green. Any compression squeeze is considered fired at the first green dot that appears.
Note: This is an ideal progression of the different types of squeezes, however any type of squeeze (and color sequence) may appear at anytime, therefore the focus is primarily on the green dots after any type of compression.
Entry and Exit Guide:
-> John Carter recommends entering a position after at least 5 black dots or wait for 1st green dot ; and
-> Exit on second blue or yellow bar or, alternatively, remain in the position after confirming a continuing trend through a separate indicator.
TopTenAlgo 10. SQZMOM Algorithmic Strategy with Alerts & SignalsEN: This Algorithm is a derivative of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" volatility indicator. Many strategists have taken the indicator on Tradingview with simple moving averages and have looked at the biggest mistake only by dealing with squeeze and exit processes to squeeze. But I used the algorithm to determine where the markets would actually explode. For example, instead of using SMAs , I tested them on the Linear Regression Curve using Volume Weighted Moving Averages and Hull MAs. This gave me the opportunity to develop a more responsive algorithm and identify where the actual explosion would occur. The Gray Circles in the midline show that the market is entering a new jam (in the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel).

TMO with TTM SqueezeApplication of the TTM squeeze and the short-term momentum TTM Wave A in action. This is an example where the short-term wave will react faster than the TTM to give you a signal to start building your positions.
This indicator needs to be combined with "TTM Wave A" (add to existing pane).
The TTM Squeeze works like a better MACD. There is a zeroline and histogram bars above / below represent positive and negative momo. As the height of the bar decreases when above the zeroline, that is called decreasingly positive momo and as the height of the bar decreases when below the zeroline, that is called decreasingly negative momo. The dots on the TTM Squeeze: Red dots represent consolidation where Bollingers are inside the Keltner Channels and green dots represent a move out of consolidation or "squeeze fire". As price action comes out of consolidation there is a bigger move up/down depending on where momo is heading and where prices are (key support/resistance levels, fib areas). You want to use the TTM Squeeze and A wave TOGETHER - TTM Squeeze is your main momo and your A wave is a short-term momo wave that reacts faster and works as a leading gauge. You need to use them TOGETHER to gauge where price action may be heading. When the TTM Squeeze and A wave move lockstep together, let's say both are decreasingly positive, there is a good probability it continues to move in that direction to the next support levels. TWO bars on the TTM Squeeze of different heights is confirmation that in most cases means it will move in the direction of those bars. So if decreasingly positive, you'll see two darker bars. By the time you get your 2nd bar on the TTM Squeeze, it is often too late or you're losing profit. Way to counter that is after you get one darker bar in the opposite direction of current trend, use A wave to "predict" the next wave, the more A wave histogram bars going towards the other direction, the higher the certainty it will hit. Lastly, using these waves together works best when you look at it on MULTIPLE TIME FRAMES. (Credit for this details goes to Brady from Atlas).
MACD-X, More Than MACD by DGTMoving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD
The most popular indicator used in technical analysis, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), created by Gerald Appel. MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator, designed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a financial instrument’s price
Historical evolution of MACD,
- Gerald Appel created the MACD line,
- Thomas Aspray added the histogram feature to MACD
- Giorgos E. Siligardos created a leader of MACD
MACD employs two Moving Averages of varying lengths (which are lagging indicators) to identify trend direction and duration. Then, MACD takes the difference in values between those two Moving Averages (MACD Line) and an EMA of those Moving Averages (Signal Line) and plots that difference between the two lines as a histogram which oscillates above and below a center Zero Line. The histogram is used as a good indication of a security's momentum.
Mathematically expressed as;
macd = ma(source, fast_length) – ma(source, slow_length)
signal = ma(macd, signal_length)
histogram = macd – signal
where exponential moving average (ema) is in common use as a moving average (ma)
fast_length = 12
slow_length = 26
signal_length = 9
The MACD indicator is typically good for identifying three types of basic signals ;
Signal Line Crossovers
A Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the MACD. On the occasions where the MACD Line crosses above or below the Signal Line, that can signify a potentially strong move. The standard interpretation of such an event is a recommendation to buy if the MACD line crosses up through the Signal Line (a "bullish" crossover), or to sell if it crosses down through the Signal Line (a "bearish" crossover). These events are taken as indications that the trend in the financial instrument is about to accelerate in the direction of the crossover.
Zero Line Crossovers
Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crossed the Zero Line and either becomes positive (above 0) or negative (below 0). A change from positive to negative MACD is interpreted as "bearish", and from negative to positive as "bullish". Zero crossovers provide evidence of a change in the direction of a trend but less confirmation of its momentum than a signal line crossover
Divergence
Divergence is another signal created by the MACD. Simply, divergence occurs when the MACD and actual price are not in agreement. A "positive divergence" or "bullish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new low but the MACD does not confirm with a new low of its own. A "negative divergence" or "bearish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new high but the MACD does not confirm with a new high of its own. A divergence with respect to price may occur on the MACD line and/or the MACD Histogram
Moving Average Crossovers , another hidden signal that MACD Indicator identifies
Many traders will watch for a short-term moving average to cross above a longer-term moving average and use this to signal increasing upward momentum. This bullish crossover suggests that the price has recently been rising at a faster rate than it has in the past, so it is a common technical buy sign. Conversely, a short-term moving average crossing below a longer-term average is used to illustrate that the asset's price has been moving downward at a faster rate and that it may be a good time to sell.
Moving Average Crossovers in reality is Zero Line Crossovers, the value of the MACD indicator is equal to zero each time the two moving averages cross over each other. For easy interpretation by trades, Zero Line Crossovers are simply described as positive or negative MACD
False signals
Like any forecasting algorithm, the MACD can generate false signals. A false positive, for example, would be a bullish crossover followed by a sudden decline in a financial instrument. A false negative would be a situation where there is bearish crossover, yet the financial instrument accelerated suddenly upwards
What is “MACD-X” and Why it is “More Than MACD”
In its simples form, MACD-X implements variety of different calculation techniques applied to obtain MACD Line, ability to use of variety of different sources , including Volume related sources, and can be plotted along with MACD in the same window and all those features are available and presented within a single indicator, MACD-X
Different calculation techniques lead to different values for MACD Line, as will further discuss below, and as a consequence the signal line and the histogram values will differentiate accordingly. Mathematical calculation of both signal line and the histogram remain the same.
Main features of MACD-X ;
1- Introduces different proven techniques applied on MACD calculation , such as MACD-Histogram, MACD-Leader and MACD-Source, besides the traditional MACD (MACD-TRADITIONAL)
• MACD-Traditional , by Gerald Appel
It is the MACD that we know, stated as traditional just to avoid confusion with other techniques used with this study
• MACD-Histogram , by Thomas Aspray
The MACD-Histogram measures the distance between MACD and its signal line (the 9-day EMA of MACD). Aspray developed the MACD-Histogram to anticipate signal line crossovers in MACD. Because MACD uses moving averages and moving averages lag price, signal line crossovers can come late and affect the reward-to-risk ratio of a trade. Bullish or bearish divergences in the MACD-Histogram can alert chartists to an imminent signal line crossover in MACD
The MACD-Histogram represents the difference between MACD and its 9-day EMA, the signal line. Mathematically,
macdx = macd - ma(macd, signal_length)
Aspray's contribution served as a way to anticipate (and therefore cut down on lag) possible MACD crossovers which are a fundamental part of the indicator.
Here come a question, what if repeat the same calculations once more (macdh2 = macdh - ma(macdh, signal_length), will it be even better, this question will remain to be tested
• MACD-Leader , by Giorgos E. Siligardos, PhD
MACD Leader has the ability to lead MACD at critical situations. Almost all smoothing methods encounter in technical analysis are based on a relative-weighted sum of past prices, and the Leader is no exception. The concealed weights of MACD Leader are such that more relative weight is used in the more recent prices than the respective weights used by the components of MACD. In effect, the Leader expresses more changes in average price dynamics for the recent price movement than MACD, thus eventually leading MACD, especially when significant trend changes are about to take place.
Siligardos creates two less-laggard moving averages indicators in its formula using the same periods as follows
Indicator1 = ma(source, fast_length) + ma(source - ma(source, fast_length), fast_length)
Indicator2 = ma(source, slow_length) + ma(source - ma(source, slow_length), slow_length)
and then take the difference:
Indicator1 - Indicator2
The result is a new MACD Leader indicator
macdx = macd + ma(source - fast_ma, fast_length) - ma(source - slow_ma, slow_length)
• MACD-Source , a custom experimental interpretation of mine ,
MACD Source, presents an application of MACD that evaluates Source/MA Ratio, relatively with less lag, as a basis for MACD Line, also can be expressed as source convergence/divergence to its moving average. Among the various techniques for removing the lag between price and moving average (MA) of the price, one in particular stands out: the addition to the moving average of a portion of the difference between the price and MA. MACD Source, is based on signal length mean of the difference between Source and average value of shot length and long length moving average of the source (Source/MA Ratio), where the source is actual value and hence no lag and relatively less lag with the average value of moving average of the source . Mathematically expressed as,
macdx = ma(source - avg( ma(source, fast_length), ma(source, slow_length) ), signal_length)
MACD Source provides relatively early crossovers comparing to MACD and better momentum direction indications, assuming the lengths are set to same values
For further details, you are invited to check the following two studies, where the first seeds were sown of the MACD-Source idea
Price Distance to its Moving Averages study, adapts the idea of “Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement", presented in an article by Denis Alajbeg, Zoran Bubas and Dina Vasic published in International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management
First MACD like interpretation comes with the second study named as “ P-MACD ”, where P stands for price, P-MACD study attempts to display relationship between Price and its 20 and 200-period moving average. Calculations with P-MACD were based on price distance (convergence/divergence) to its 200-period moving average, and moving average convergence/divergence of 20-period moving average to 200-period moving average of price.
Now as explained above, MACD Source is a one adapted with traditional MACD, where Source stands for Price, Volume Indicator etc, any source applicable with MACD concept
2- Allows usage of variety of different sources, including Volume related indicators
The most common usage of Source for MACD calculation is close value of the financial instruments price. As an experimental approach, this study will allow source to be selected as one of the following series;
• Current Close Price (close)
• Average of High, Low, and Close Price (hlc3)
• On Balance Volume (obv)
• Accumulation Distribution (accdist)
• Price Volume Trend (pvt)
Where,
-Current Close Price and Average of High, Low, and Close Price are price actions of the financial instrument
- Accumulation Distribution is a volume based indicator designed to measure underlying supply and demand
- On Balance Volume (OBV) , is a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow
- Price Volume Trend (PVT) is a momentum based indicator used to measure money flow
3- Can be plotted along with MACD in the same window using the same scaling
Default setting of MACD-X will display MACD-Source with Current Close Price as a source and traditional MACD can be plotted eighter as a companion of MACD-X or can be selected to be plotted alone.
Applying both will add ability to compare, or use as a confirmation of one other
In case, traditional MACD Is plotted along with MACD-X to avoid misinterpreting, the lines plotted, the area between MACD-X Line and Signal-X Line is highlighted automatically, even if the highlight option not selected. Otherwise highlight will be applied only if that option selected
4- 4C Histogram
Histogram is plotted with four colors to emphasize the momentum and direction
5- Customizable
Additional to ability of selecting Calculation Method, Source, plotting along with MACD, there are few other option that allows users to customize the MACD-X indicator
Lengths are configurable, default values are set as 12, 26, 9 respectively for fast, slow and smoothing length. Setting lengths to 8,21,5 respectively Is worth checking, slower length moving averages will lead to less lag and earlier reaction to price actions but yet requires a caution and back testing before applying
Highlight the area between MACD-X Line and Signal-X Line, with colors emphasising the direction
Label can be added to display Calculation Method, Source and Length settings, the aim of this label is to server only as a reminder to trades to be aware of settings while they are occupied with charts, analysis etc.
Here comes another question, which is of more importance having the reminder or having the indicators with multi timeframe feature? Build-in Multi Time Frame features of Pine is not supported when labels and lines introduced in the script, there are other methods but brings complexity. To be studied further, this version will be with labels for time being.
Epilogue
MACD-X is an alternative variant of MACD, the insight/signals provided by MACD are also applicable to MACD-X with early and clear warnings for the changes in the trend.
If MACD is essential to your analysis, then it is my guess that after using the MACD-X for a while and familiarizing yourself with its unique character and personality, you will make it an inseparable companion to other indicators in your charts.
The various signals generated by MACD/MACD-X are easily interpreted and very few indicators in technical analysis have proved to be more reliable than the MACD, and this relatively simple indicator can quickly be incorporated into any short-term trading strategy
