Easy to Use MACD+RSI Strategy
BEGINNERS REJOICE!
Easy to use strategy test using MACD with RSI as a confirming indicator. The code is structured to make it easy to manipulate the variables to your choosing.
EASY TO CHANGE CODE VARIABLES
LINE 2 = Change the amount you invest every trade and the currency
LINE 8/9/10 = Change the defval of each of these lines to backtest from a certain date
LINE 16/17/18 = Change the MACD sensitivity by changing the defval on each line
LINE 21 = Change the value after close toadjust the sensitivity of the RSI
LINE 37/39 = Change/remove the < and > variables for macdLine and rsivalue after the crossover/crossunder to adjust your buying point further.
As a beginner you may not feel comfortable with shorting stocks, therefore LINE 5 was added to only allows long positions.
Funny how a simple indicator can return such a high profitability. Couple this with some trend/exit strategies and you'll have something really special!
MACD, backtest 2015+ only, cut in half and doubledThis is only a slight modification to the existing "MACD Strategy" strategy plugin!
found the default MACD strategy to be lacking, although impressive for its simplicity. I added "year>2014" to the IF buy/sell conditions so it will only backtest from 2015 and beyond ** .
I also had a problem with the standard MACD trading late, per se. To that end I modified the inputs for fast/slow/signal to double. Example: my defaults are 10, 21, 10 so I put 20, 42, 20 in. This has the effect of making a 30min interval the same as 1 hour at 10,21,10. So if you want to backtest at 4hr, you would set your time interval to 2hr on the main chart. This is a handy way to make shorter time periods more useful even regardless of strategy/testing, since you can view 15min with alot less noise but a better response.
Used on BTCCNY OKcoin, with the chart set at 45 min (so really 90min in the strategy) this gave me a percent profitable of 42% and a profit factor of 1.998 on 189 trades.
Personally, I like to set the length/signals to 30,63,30. Meaning you need to triple the time, it allows for much better use of shorter time periods and the backtests are remarkably profitable. (i.e. 15min chart view = 45min on script, 30min= 1.5hr on script)
** If you want more specific time periods you need to try plugging in different bar values: replace "year" with "n" and "2014" with "5500". The bars are based on unix time I believe so you will need to play around with the number for n, with n being the numbers of bars.
Divergence Detector [TradingFinder] RSI + MACD + AO Oscillator 🔵 Introduction
🟣 Understanding Divergence
As mentioned, divergence occurs in technical analysis when a stock's price behaves contrary to indicators on the price chart. Divergence can signify either a reversal of the stock's trend or a continuation of the previous trend correction.
Divergences can act as reversal patterns or continuation patterns. Moreover, divergences can be utilized to identify potential support and resistance levels.
For instance, when an indicator is trending upwards and positive, but the price is declining and trending downwards, divergence occurs. Divergence in a stock indicates trader indecision in buying and selling and warns traders to reconsider their decisions regarding buying or holding the stock.
Divergence aids analysts in identifying critical price points. In indicator divergences, it serves as a potent signal in the realm of technical analysis.
🟣 Types of Divergence
1.Regular Divergence
o Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
o Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
2.Hidden Divergence
o Positive Hidden Divergence (HD+)
o Negative Hidden Divergence (HD-)
3.Time Divergence
Key Note : This indicator is specifically designed to identify "Regular Divergence" only. Therefore, the following explanation pertains to this type of divergence.
🔵 Regular Divergence/Convergence
Regular Divergence(Convergence) occurs due to conflicting behavior between the indicator and the price chart, typically at the end of a trend. Recognizing Regular Divergence suggests an anticipation of a trend reversal or a pattern resembling a reversal.
🟣 Positive Regular Divergence (RD+)
In contrast to negative divergence, positive Regular Divergence occurs at the end of a downtrend and between two price lows. It manifests when the price forms a new low on the price chart, but the indicator fails to recognize it.
Positive Regular Divergence indicates strong buying pressure and weak selling pressure. Following the identification of positive divergence on the chart, one can anticipate a price increase for the examined stock.
🟣 Negative Regular Divergence (RD-)
This type of Regular Divergence emerges between two price highs during an uptrend. A new high is formed on the price chart, but the indicator fails to acknowledge it. This scenario indicates negative Regular Divergence.
The likelihood of a subsequent market downturn is high. Negative divergence signifies strong selling pressure and weak buying pressure, suggesting an unfavorable future for the stock.
🔵 How to use
By utilizing the "Fractal Period" input, you can specify your desired periods for identifying divergences.
Additionally, through the "Divergence Detect Method" feature, you can choose which oscillators (MACD, RSI, or AO) to base divergence identification on.
Divergence in MACD Oscillator :
Divergence in the MACD indicator occurs when the price chart and the MACD line form a noticeable opposing pattern, meaning the price moves contrary to the MACD line. In this scenario, one expects a reversal in price direction.
Divergence in RSI Oscillator :
If divergence occurs during a downtrend on the price chart (two consecutive lows, with the second low being lower) and on the corresponding RSI point (two consecutive lows, with the second low being higher), it signifies positive Regular Divergence and implies a buying signal.
Conversely, if divergence occurs during an uptrend on the price chart (two consecutive highs, with the second high being higher) and on the corresponding RSI point (two consecutive highs, with the second high being lower), it indicates negative Regular Divergence, signaling a selling opportunity.
Divergence in AO Oscillator :
The AO indicator calculates histograms similar to the AO base. It calculates the difference between the simple moving averages of 5 and 34 periods based on the median of each bar. Then, it plots the bars based on the difference.
It then compares the histograms to detect peaks and troughs in the AO histograms and compares the identified peaks and troughs to the price. Whenever divergence is detected, it plots lines and arrows.
🔵 Table
The table contains information on the functional features of this oscillator that you can utilize. Four categories of information are presented in the table: "Exist," "Consecutive," "Divergence Quality," and "Change Phase Indicator."
Exist :
If divergence exists, you'll see "+" in this row.
Consecutive :
Divergences may occur consecutively. If same-type divergences form within short intervals, you can observe the count in this row.
Divergence Quality : Based on the number of consecutive divergences, their quality can be evaluated. If one divergence exists, its quality is considered "Normal." If two divergences exist, the quality is "Good," and if three or more divergences exist, the quality is considered "Strong."
Change Phase Indicator : If a phase change occurs between two oscillation peaks formed based on divergence, this change is identified and displayed in this row.
RedK K-MACD : a MACD with some more musclesMoving Averages are probably the most commonly used analysis tools, and MACD is possibly the first charting indicator a trader gets to learn about.
MACD Basic concept
----------------------------
Without repeating all the tons of documentation about what MACD does, let's quickly re-visit the MACD concept from a 10-mile altitude (note we're keen on simplifying here rather than being technically accurate - so please forgive the use of any "common lingos")
- MACD goal is to represent the distance between 2 Moving Averages (MAs) - one fast and one slow, relatively - as an unrestricted zero-based oscillator.
- The value of the main MACD line is the distance, or the displacement between the 2 MA's
- usually a signal line is used (which is another MA of that distance value) to enable better visualization of the change (and rate of change, since this is all depicted on a time axis) of that displacement - this represents price momentum (price movement in the recent period versus movements for a relatively longer period).
- the difference between the main MACD line and its signal is then represented as a histogram above and below the zero line. in this case, that histogram is really redundant, since it shows a value that is already represented visually by the main line and its signal line.
How K-MACD is different
---------------------------------
K-MACD takes that simple concept of the classic MACD and expands around it - the idea is to use the same simple approach to representing price momentum while bringing in more insight to price moves in the short, medium and long terms, ability to represent more than 2 MA's and to enable better identification of tradeable patterns (like Volatility Contraction and others) - while still keeping things simple and visually clean.
K-MACD is an indicator that allows us to view how price moves against 3 moving averages: a fast / slow pair, and a "market" Filter or Baseline (very long) that will be used as a flag for Bear/Bull market mode. Many traders and trading literature use the 200 day (40 week) SMA as that key filter
so in total, there are 4 MA lines in K-MACD (excluding the "orange" signal line):
* Price Proxy: Which is a very fast moving average that will represent the price itself - let's use a WMA(3) or something close to that here - there will be a signal line to enable better visualization of this similar to a classic MACD - that's the orange line
* Fast & Slow MA's : Use whatever represents the "medium term" momentum for your trading - Some traders use 20 and 50, others use 10 and 20 .. if on your price chart, you keep using a pair of MA's for this, use the same settings in K-MACD - these will be represented by the 3-color Momentum Bars that fluctuate above and below the baseline
* Filter/Baseline MA: Should be your long (Bullish/Bearish Mode) MA. so 100 or 200 or any other value you consider your market to be bearish below and bullish above. on K-MACD this is actually the blue zero line - everything else is "relative" to it
Review the sample chart which explains various elements and the "price chart" setup that K-MACD represents. With K-MACD you can clean up your chart from those various Moving Averages - or use a different set than the ones you already have K-MACD represent - or other indicators (like ATR channels..etc)
Other "muscles" in the K-MACD
---------------------------------------------
- Relative vs Classic Calculation Mode
A key issue with the classic MACD is that the displacement between the 2 moving averages is represented as "absolute or direct" values - as the price of the underlying increases with time, you can't really use these values to make useful comparison between the past and now (see below example) - also you can't use them to compare 2 different instruments.
- The "Relative" calculation option in K-MACD addresses that issue by relating all "distances" to the Baseline MA as percentage (above or below) - you can see this clear when you look at the above chart the far left versus the far right and compare K-MACD with the classic MACD - the Classic option is still available
- More MA "type" options for all MA lines: choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, and RSS_WMA (which i use a lot in my trading and is my default for the Price Proxy)
- More Alerts: a total or 9 alerts (in 3 groups) are available with K-MACD (Momentum above or below baseline, Price Proxy crossing signal line, and Price Proxy crossing baseline)
- New 52 week High / Low markers: These will show as Green/red circles on the zero line in K-MACD. this will only work for 1D timeframe and above, i'm just using a simple approach and would like to keep it that way.
- i know i added some more features not covered above :) -- if you have questions about any of the settings, feel free to ask below
Closing thoughts
-------------------------
K-MACD is a combination of couple of indicators i published in the past (xMACD and Mo_Bars) - so you can go back and read about them if needed - I then added improvements to accommodate ideas from swing trading literature and common practices that i plan to focus on in future. So K-MACD is really part of my own trading setup.
I assume here that most traders are familiar with what a MACD is - so kept this post short - if you thing we should expand more about the concepts covered here let me know in the comments - i can make some separate posts with examples and more details.
I hope many fellow traders find this work useful - and feel free let me know in comments below if you do.
MACD-RSI Confluence SimplifiedAnother simple version of the MACD RSi Confluence script. But this is one is more simplified with simple signals. Again to fully understand macd & RSI you should already have some type of knowledge of how they work. With understanding this script & it's signals are great for those who do. This script is based on Barcolor signals reflected by macd & RSI data
Triple Exponential MACDA modification of the classic MACD to use Triple EMAs which tends to have less lag than the standard indicator. (I also have a Double Exp MACD indicator, I tend to use both simultaneously)
Alert conditions are pre-configured for simple line crosses and you can enable/disable the histogram from the indicator options menu.
Enjoy!
Double Exponential MACDA modification of the classic MACD to use Double EMAs which tends to have less lag than the standard indicator.

Awesome Oscillator & MACD Cross TacticOscillator for Tradingview based on MACD and Awesome Oscillator. This oscillator is designed to identify potential local growth or decline in prices as part of a trend movement.
For some ridiculous reason I am not allowed to attach screenshots of graphs and links on TradingView, so I hope that you will find my detailed instructions on my github page: github.com/samgozman/AO-MACD-cross-tradingview
EMA Cross and MACD Signal CombinedThe rule is simple.
When MACD crosses up, it is supposed to give a buy signal. However, before entering into a Long position, there is a need for a confirmation. This confirmation can be from a down trendline breakout or from another indicator.
In this case, I've chosen the Exponential Moving Average Cross to be as the confirmation.
The Buy Signal will appear when there it fulfills the following conditions:-
i. The MACD line is above the Signal Line
ii. The fast EMA crosses the Slow EMA
The Sell signal will appears when the opposite of the above condition is met.
This indicator is meant for the Swing Trader whom would like to hold a position for a long time.
[SCL] MACD DoubleCrossCounts crosses of the MACD and signal lines and derives entry signals. The code for counting the crosses, for deciding what counts as "close enough", and for auto-adjusting for resolutions 1D or longer, might be useful for Pinescripters. The entries and exits themselves are not intended to be used on their own, but could be used as confluence within a trading system. Full explanation is in the script introduction.
VW-MACDHello traders!
I am reading "Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends" by Buff Pelz Dormeier so I am going to implement all indicators that are considered there.
VW-MACD was developed by Buff Pelz Dormeier in 2000 and is based on the difference between a short-term volume-weighted moving average and a long-term volume-weighted moving average. The signal line is traditionally left as an exponential moving average.
Like and follow for more cool indicators!
Happy Trading!
MACD Convergence/Divergence [LY_TR]Moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend indicator that enables to show crossing between two (L and H in this script) moving averages of prices. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-day for H (12 for L) exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day for H (5 for L) EMA with used signal value is 1 as default in this script. MACD L, H and crossing each other can be used as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
Multi-Functional Fisher Transform MTF with MACDL TRIGGERWhat this indicator gives you is a true signal when price is exhausted and ready for a fast turnaround. Fisher Transform is set for multi-time frame and also allows the user to change the length. This way a user can compare two or more time spans and lengths to look for these MACDL divergent triggers after a Fisher exhaustion. With so many indicators, it's probably best to merge these indicators and change the Fisher and Trigger colors so you can still have a look at price action (remember to scale right after merger). I've noticed from time to time when you have Fisher 34 100 and 300 up and running on two different time frames such as 5 and 15 min charts, with MACDL triggers on the 100/300 or 34/100 you get a high probability trade trigger. However, there are rare exceptions such as when price moves in a parabolic state up or down for a long period where this indication does not work. Ideally this indicator works best in a sideways market or slow rising/descending moving market.
This indicator was worked on by Glaz, nmike and myself
LazyBear also introduced the MACDL indicator
[Venturose] MACD x BB x STDEV x RVIDescription:
The MACD x BB x STDEV x RVI combines MACD, Bollinger Bands, Standard Deviation, and Relative Volatility Index into a single tool. This indicator is designed to provide insights into market trends, momentum, and volatility. It generates buy and sell signals, by analyzing the interactions between these components. These buy and sell signals are not literal, and should be used in combination with the current trend.
How It Works:
MACD: Tracks momentum and trend direction using customizable fast and slow EMA periods.
Bollinger Bands: Adds volatility bands to MACD to identify overextension zones.
Standard Deviation: Dynamically adjusts the Bollinger Band width based on MACD volatility.
RVI (Relative Volatility Index): Confirms momentum extremes with upper and lower threshold markers.
Custom Logic: Includes a trigger system ("inside" or "flipped") to adapt signals to various market conditions and an optional filter to reduce noise.
Key Features:
Combines MACD and Bollinger Bands with volatility and momentum confirmations from RVI.
Dynamic color-coded plots for identifying bullish, bearish, and neutral trends.
Customizable parameters for tailoring the indicator to different strategies.
Optional signal filtering to refine buy and sell triggers.
Alerts for buy and sell signals based on signal logic.
Why It’s Unique:
This indicator combines momentum (MACD), volatility (Bollinger Bands and Standard Deviation), and confirmation signals (RVI thresholds) into a unified system. It introduces custom "inside" and "flipped" triggers for adaptable signal generation and includes signal filtering to reduce noise. The addition of RVI-based hints helps identify early overbought or oversold conditions, providing an extra layer of insight for decision-making. The dynamic integration of these components ensures a comprehensive yet straightforward analysis tool for various market conditions.

[Sidders] MACDEMASAR IndicatorCame across a cool idea for a strategy that couldn't find in the indicator database, so decided to code it up myself for your pleasure.
Indicators consists of 3 indicators: EMA(200) to determine the overall trend, and the MACD & Parabolic SAR to determine entries (and exits).
Long entry contains 4 conditions and is generated when price is above the 200EMA (1), the MACD crosses above the signal line (2), while they are both below 0 line (3) and when the parabolic SAR is below the closing price of the bar (4).
Short entry is build up the same but in reverse: price is below the 200EMA(1), signal line crosses below the MACD line (2), while they are both above the 0 line (3) and when the parabolic SAR is above the closing price of the bar (4).
Place the stoploss on the parabolic SAR dot below/above the candle that created the signal. Profit target 1:1 risk:reward ratio, but can ofcourse be changed according to your risk apetite. Might add automatically drawn SL/TPs in a later update.
Concept behind the strategy should work on all timeframes, but will require proper backtesting. I think with additional filters the strategy can also be way more finetuned and profitable, personally haven't had the time yet to dive into that.
Have also added alerts for your convenience.
Enjoy!
MACD+ Strategy [SystemAlpha]This is a strategy based on MACD Oscillator . Instead of using just the normal crossovers, we use trend filters, trailing stop loss and take profit targets. This strategy was developed for crypto, forex and stocks on daily timeframe but feel free to experiment on 15 minutes or higher using heikin ashi or normal candles
In this strategy you have a choice of:
Trend Filters:
- Average Directional Index ( ADX ) – buy when price is trend is up and sell when trend is down.
- Moving Average (MA) – buy when price close above the defined moving average and sell when price close below moving average
- Parabolic SAR – buy when SAR is above price is above price and sell when SAR is below price.
- All - Use ADX , MA and SAR as filters
For MA Filter , you can use the “TF MA Type” and "TF MA Period" parameter to select Simple or Exponential Moving Average and length.
Stop Loss:
- Average True Range (ATR) – ATR % stop as trailing stop loss.
- Parabolic SAR ( SAR ) – Parabolic SAR adapted as trailing stop loss.
For ATR , you can use the “ATR Trailing Stop Multiplier” parameter to set an initial offset for trailing stop loss.
Take Profit Target:
- Average True Range (ATR) – ATR % stop as trailing stop loss.
- Standard % – Percent as target profit
For ATR , you can use the “ATR Take Profit Multiplier” parameter to set an initial offset for trailing stop loss.
Additional feature include:
- Regular and Hidden Divergence display and alerts
STRATEGY ONLY:
- Set back test date range
- Set trade direction - Long, Short or Both
- Use timed exit - Select method and bars
- Method 1: Exit after specified number of bars.
- Method 2: Exit after specified number of bars, ONLY if position is currently profitable.
- Method 3: Exit after specified number of bars, ONLY if position is currently losing.

EVWMA VWAP MACD Strategy [QuantNomad]Based on comment of @coondawg71 I tried to compare VWAP and EVWMA.
Both are sort of moving averages so I decided to create a MACD based on these 2 indicators.
In parameters you can set EVWMA Length and 2 smoothing lengths for "macd" and "signal".
Strategy seems to work pretty good at 2h-8h timeframes for crypto.

Modified Stochastic MACD Oscillator - Vitali ApirineFor all MACD enthusiasts out there, hot off the press, I present this next generation "Modified Stochastic MACD Oscillator" employing PSv4.0, originally formulated by Vitali Apirine for TASC - November 2019 Traders Tips. Just when you may have thought it was the end of the evolutionary line for MACD technology, it's not! Basically it's a NEW hybridization of a MACD and stochastic rolled into one, maintaining scale symmetry to support overbought/oversold defined levels across time frames and assets, unlike the ordinary MACD. On the ordinary MACD, this is virtually impossible to do properly, and trust me, I have tried with zero success. My less than 40 line implementation, at initial release, is a heavily modified version of the original indicator using novel techniques, surpassing not only Apirine's original intended design, but also the "contemporary MACD" provided by TV, visible on the bottom of the chart.
Utilizing the "Power of Pine", I included the maximum amount of features I could surmise in an ultra small yet powerful package. I provided an abundance of control over each feature as an attempt to create another heavenly MACD experience in an open source package, only rivaled by my "Ultimate MACD Super Pack". Configurations are displayed above in multiple scenarios that should be suitable for most traders. Of notable mention, I rescaled the oscillator more towards a zero mean unity scale, while still leaving the waveforms completely intact.
Features List Includes:
Dark Background - Easily disabled in indicator Settings->Style for "Light" charts or with Pine commenting
AND much, much more... you have the source!
For those of you who are new to Pine Script, this script also may help you understand advanced programming techniques in Pine and how they may be utilized in a most effective manner. I would like to see Tradingview become the go to platform for the best MACD indicators attainable with this contribution to the TV community. This is commonly what my dense intricate code looks like behind the veil, and if you are wondering why there is no notes, that's because the notation is in the variable naming. If you wish to contribute additional ideas, please do so below in the comments about all things MACD in Pine.
NOTICE: Copy pasting bandits who may be having nefarious thoughts, DO NOT attempt this, because this may violate Tradingview's terms, conditions and/or house rules. "WE" are always watching the TV community vigilantly for mischievous behaviors and actions that exploit well intended authors for the purpose of unscrupulously increasing brownie points in reputation scores. Hiding behind a "protected" wall may not protect you from investigation and account penalization by TV staff. Be respectful, and don't just throw a meaningless feature in there branding it as "your" gizmo. Fair enough? Alrighty then... I firmly believe in "innovating" future state-of-the-art indicators, and please contact me if you wish to do so.
The comments section below is solely just for commenting and other remarks, ideas, compliments, etc... regarding only this indicator, not others. When available time provides itself, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and concepts presented below in the comments section if you do have any questions or comments regarding this indicator. When my indicators achieve more prevalent use by TV members, I may implement more ideas when they present themselves as worthy additions. As always, "Like" it if you simply just like it with a proper thumbs up, and also return to my scripts list occasionally for additional postings. Have a profitable future everyone!
MACD MOMENTUM STRATEGYHey,
First of I'm not so familiar with Pine Editor, yet.
But a do need some help with a trick thing I*ve been working on.
As you can see I*ve merge the MACD and the MOMENTUM indicators in the same "chart" this have been working pretty well for me as a trading strategy. But now a chat tho create a real strategy with Pine Editor based on the same data. The thing is that I can't seem tho get the MOMENTUM indicator to and the MACD indicator in the same (different) scale in my strategy as when I merge them.
I suspect this got something to do with my chose of source för the MOMENTUM indicator, but I'm not 100.
I would be grateful for all kinds of feedback and tips for a solutions on this.
Thanks.
MACD Price Divergence indicatorIndicator for divergence between MACD trend and price trends. Try it out and let me know what you think!
MACD Leader [LazyBear]Smoothing methods have lag, and since MACD makes use of moving averages, it usually lags behind price. You cannot eliminate lag completely, but one way of working around this is by adding a component of the price/MA difference back to MA. This technique is called Zero-lag (well, almost). "MACD Leader" makes use of this to form a leading signal to MACD.
First proposed by Giorgos E. Siligardos, "Leader" leads normal MACD, especially when significant trend changes are about to take place. This has the following features:
- It is similar to MACD in smoothness.
- It can be plotted along with MACD in the same window using the same scaling.
- It has the ability to lead MACD at critical situations
For detailed discussion on the various divergence patterns, refer to the PDF I have linked in the "More Info" below.
I have provided an option to plot MACD and MACD signal on the same pane. You can enable/disable them via options page.
For Pinescript coders: Try enabling histo on this to compare with normal MACD histo :)
