L1 MACD Overlay Indicator

20 sept. 2020

Level: 1

Background

MACD is a measure of changes in the dynamics between short-term and longer-term price averages. The sign (positive or negative) and the size or MACD line represent the interaction between the two underlying EMAs.

Function

L1 MACD Overlay Indicator is a MACD indicator for main chart. The lime and red color EMAs are the DIFF and DEA signal. I want to plot a contant "Zero Line" line in main chart but failed. So, I use dyanmic color bands to inidcate the "Zero line" in traditioanl MACD. It is not static but a dynamic one.

Key Signal

wdiff --> MACD DIFF
wdea --> MACD DEA
th191 --> zero line
th886 --> zero line
th946 --> zero line
bot --> zero line


Pros and Cons

Pros:

1. main chart MACD
2. easier observation with candles


Cons:

1. I cannot draw static zero line in main chart with PINE, so I draw dyanmic "Zero"
2. No diff-dea histograms


Remarks

I cannot draw static zero line in main chart with PINE, so I draw dyanmic "Zero"

Readme

In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.

The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.

Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.

Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.

Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.

Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.

Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
