Ghosty's MACD ROC

This indicator takes the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and gives it a fresh twist to help you spot trading opportunities faster and smoother. It uses a single MACD—set to a medium speed (24, 52, 18)—and focuses on how quickly the MACD is moving up or down, rather than waiting for it to cross its signal line.

Here’s how it works:

The purple line (MACD) and yellow line (signal) show you the trend’s strength, squished into a simple -1 to 1 range so they’re easy to read. When they merge and flatten, a change is brewing.
The blue line above (Rate of Change, or ROC) tracks the MACD’s speed. It’s smoothed out to cut through market noise, so you’re not distracted by tiny wiggles.
Green crosses pop up on the MACD line when its speed turns positive—think of it as a “go” signal for buying. Red crosses appear when the speed turns negative—a “stop” or sell signal.
It’s designed to catch moves early, before the trend fully kicks in, while keeping false signals in check. Perfect for traders who want a clear, no-fuss way to time their entries and exits. You can tweak the settings—like the MACD lengths or smoothing—to match your style or market.
