MACD with Trend

3月20日

Indicator Name: MACD with Trend & Multi-Timeframe Dashboard

Why Use This Indicator?

Two MACDs for Double Confirmation:
It integrates both a standard MACD (fast/slow lengths of your choice) and a Trend MACD (longer lengths). The standard MACD identifies short-term momentum shifts, while the Trend MACD helps confirm the higher-level market trend.

Multi-Timeframe 50/200 SMA Overview:
A built-in dashboard quickly shows whether the 50-period moving average is above or below the 200-period moving average across multiple timeframes (Monthly, Weekly, Daily, etc.). At a glance, you can see if higher timeframes agree with your immediate trading setup.

Clear Buy/Sell Signals:
The script plots buy arrows when the MACD histogram crosses from negative to positive, plus an additional label for the Trend MACD crossing. The same goes for sell signals if momentum flips from positive to negative. This clarity can reduce guesswork.

Customizable & Intuitive:
Easily adjust moving average types (SMA or EMA), lengths, and source inputs to suit different asset classes or personal preferences. Visual color coding helps you quickly interpret bullish vs. bearish conditions.

Recommended Trading Approach

Identify Overall Trend
Check the Trend MACD histogram and the multi-timeframe dashboard (50/200 SMAs). If you see bullish alignment on higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, Weekly) and the Trend MACD is above zero, you know the market environment is supportive for long trades.

Pinpoint Entry Using Standard MACD
Wait for the standard MACD histogram to cross above zero or for a labeled “Buy Signal.” This indicates short-term momentum turning bullish in sync with the broader trend. If the market is already trending up (confirmed by the dashboard), the probability of a successful long entry often improves.

Set a Stop-Loss & Take-Profit
While not included in the code, adding an ATR- or price-based stop-loss can protect against sudden reversals. A simple approach is risking 1–2% per trade and aiming for a 1.5–2× reward relative to that risk.

Monitor Sell Signals
If the short-term MACD crosses below zero—triggering a “Sell Signal”—and the Trend MACD also turns down (or the dashboard flips bearish), consider exiting the position or tightening stops. This alignment of short- and long-term indicators often signals a shift in momentum that could threaten your open profits.

Summary
The MACD with Trend & Multi-Timeframe Dashboard is a versatile, all-in-one toolkit. It combines the immediacy of short-term MACD signals, the validation of a longer-term trend oscillator, and the broader insight of multi-timeframe moving averages. Whether you are a swing trader looking for alignment across bigger trends or a shorter-term trader wanting clear momentum triggers, this indicator helps streamline decision-making and reduce noise.

Disclaimer: As with all technical analysis tools, there is no guarantee of success. Always combine indicator signals with sound risk management and a thorough understanding of market conditions
