ADA Gravity OscillatorThis indicator is a deviation of a Center of Gravity Oscillator corrected for the diminishing returns of Cardano (ADA).
I've set up this indicator for it to be used on the weekly timeframe . The indicator oscillates between 0 and 10, where 0 indicates oversold conditions and 10 indicates overbought conditions.
The indicator plots in any ADAUSD chart.
It paints in all time frames, but Weekly time frame is the correct one to interpret the 'official' read of it.

Indicator Direction Table With Bullish & Bearish LabelsINDICATOR DIRECTION TABLE WITH BULLISH AND BEARISH LABELS
This is a table that shows the bullish, bearish or neutral trend for nine different popular indicators. Each indicator label will change color in real time to make you aware of each change in direction. This way you don’t have to read and analyze a bunch of different indicators constantly and you can focus on price action instead.
Look for the entire table to turn green or red before taking positions.
You can also set alerts for when the entire table of indicators is bullish or bearish.
The indicator settings allow customization of indicator lengths & values, table position and turning the indicator table on or off.
The length and other values for each indicator can be customized to suit your preferences, but by default all of them are set to the normal default settings that Tradingview supplies the indicators with. Typically 14 as the length.
The indicators used in this table are as follows:
MACD - Moving Average Convergence Divergence
Stochastic RSI - Stochastic Relative Strength Index
Vortex - Vortex Indicator
Momentum - Momentum Indicator
RSI - Relative Strength Index
PSAR - Parabolic Stop & Reverse
DMI - Directional Movement Index
MFI - Money Flow Index
Fisher - Fisher Transform Price Action
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator table can be used on all timeframes.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index + Fisher Price Action, Volume Profile With Buy & Sell Pressure, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this indicator direction table.

[Mad] Volume DeltaThis is a volume indicator that splits purchases and sales into 2 separate columns.
In addition, I added some POW factors to scale the volume to a more compact or expanded picture.
The SMA draws the red line indicating the volume of purchases and sales, also with POW factor customizable, so it is possible to scale it within the volume bars
what to do with this information: it is very easy to find rotation points when the selling volume and the buying volume are equal, this is where possible rotation phases occur

Bogdan Ciocoiu - MoonshotDescription
Moonshot is an indicator that encapsulates the value delivered by the TSI, MACD, Awesome Oscillator and CCI algorithms to produce signals to enable users to enter positions in ideal market conditions. Moonshot integrates the value delivered by the above four algorithms into one script.
This indicator is particularly useful when trading continuation/reversal divergence strategies.
Uniqueness
The Moonshot's uniqueness stands from integrating the above algorithms into the same visual area and leveraging preconfigured parameters suitable for 1-3 minute scalping techniques.
In addition, Moonshot allows swapping or furthermore configuring the above four algorithms in such a way to align signals by colour-coding or shape thickness to aid the users with identifying any emerging patterns quicker.
Furthermore, Moonshot's uniqueness is also reflected in the way it has standardised the outputs of each algorithm to look and feel the same (including the scale at which the shapes are shown) and, in doing so, enables users to plug them in/out as needed.
Open-source
The indicator leverages the following open-source scripts/algorithms:

Market Sector Scanner/Screener With MOM + RSI + MFI + DMI + MACDMARKET SECTOR SCANNER/SCREENER MOM + RSI + MFI + DMI + MACD FOR STOCKS CRYPTO & FOREX
This script scans 9 markets constantly and returns the values of 5 different popular indicators.
This indicator helps you see when one of your favorite stocks is bullish or bearish when you are not watching that chart so you can always catch the big moves as they happen.
***HOW TO USE***
A great way to use this market screener is to set up separate chart layouts for each sector you like to trade. Such as the top 9 stocks in the S & P 500, top 9 stocks in the XLF etf, etc. Make sure to set up separate chart layouts in Tradingview so you don’t have to change the symbols constantly. This will give you a good idea in real time if that entire sector is bullish, bearish or mixed. When the entire grid goes red or green, those are very strong signs of market direction across that entire sector, so trades in the corresponding direction are quite safe.
This can be done for crypto as well, using the top 9 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Watch the grid and wait for the entire lot to turn green or red and then take a position in that direction.
You can also use this with a variety of your favorite tickers so you can see when specific markets are looking strong in either direction, instead of constantly changing charts or missing good opportunities because you weren’t watching that specific chart.
This grid can also be used to determine how long to hold a position as well. If the entire grid is still green or red, according to your trade direction, you can usually expect price to continue in that direction until you see some conflicting colors start to pop up on the grid. As it starts to give mixed signals, you can expect the market to be indecisive or reverse which is a good time to get out.
If you have your scanner setup to show similar markets in one sector, be careful taking trades when the grid is very mixed in color. This shows signs of indecision and will likely have choppy price action until the market decides a direction so make sure to use caution when the grid is mixed. It is best to wait for the entire grid to turn green or red and then take position.
***COLOR MEANINGS***
When each indicator value is in bullish territory, the background of that value will turn green.
When each indicator value is in bearish territory, the background of that value will turn red.
When each indicator value is in neutral territory, the background of that value will turn blue.
When all 5 indicators for a ticker are bullish, the ticker background will turn green.
When all 5 indicators for a ticker are bearish, the ticker background will turn red.
When there is a mixture of bullish and bearish values, the ticker background will turn blue.
***CUSTOMIZATION***
You can customize which tickers are in your scanner including stocks, crypto, futures and forex, the source of the indicators, the length of the indicator settings and the smoothing parameters.
***INDICATORS USED***
The indicators used for each ticker are as follows:
Momentum(MOM) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above zero, bearish is below zero.
Relative Strength Index(RSI) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above 50, bearish is below 50.
Money Flow Index(MFI) - Default length is 14. Bullish is above 50, bearish is below 50.
Directional Movement Index(DMI) - Default length is 14 and smoothing is 14. Calculated by subtracting di minus from di plus. If the value is positive, it is bullish. If the value is negative, it is bearish.
Moving Average Convergence & Divergence(MACD) - Default settings are 12, 26, 9. If the short line is greater than the long line, then it is bullish. If the short line is less than the long line, it is bearish.
***MARKETS***
This market scanner can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This scanner can be used on all timeframes and pulls data from other tickers using the same timeframe as what your current chart is set to.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are Trend Friend Scalp & Swing Signals, Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile With Buy/Sell Pressure, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Scanner.

MFI + RSI + MOM With Bull & Bear Trend LabelMOMENTUM + MONEY FLOW INDEX + RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX WITH BULL & BEAR LABELS
This is a combination of 3 popular indicators. Momentum(MOM), Money Flow Index(MFI) and Relative Strength Index(RSI) along with color changing labels that tell you each indicator's current trend.
The middle white line shows the level that each indicator needs to stay above to be bullish and below for bearish. Watch for all three indicators to cross and hold above or below the mid line for big moves.
It is important to note that these indicators do not need to be going up to be bullish or down to be bearish. They just need to hold above or below the mid line to understand the overall trend.
The momentum indicator is the most relevant in my opinion. If it is holding above the mid line steadily, usually the overall trend will continue upwards so look to buy the dips if the momentum cloud is staying above the white line and vice versa.
It is also important to note that the default settings for this indicator are the 100 period as I find it to be super relevant across most charts but these numbers can be changed in the indicator settings.
Since momentum swings wildly past the normal 0-100 range, it is important to note that the momentum line has been “normalized” to stay within this same range as the rsi and mfi. So if you look at a normal momentum indicator side by side with this indicator it will not look the same however, I find it to be a very good indicator of overall direction so I know the current market sentiment even when price is diverging from the indicator directions.
All of the colors, sources and lengths can be easily customized in the indicator settings input tab.
***HOW TO USE***
When Momentum is above the mid line, it is bullish. When Momentum is below the mid line, it is bearish.
A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if momentum is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend.
When RSI is above the mid line, it is bullish. When Momentum is below the mid line it is bearish.

L'MACD GUNHi all!
I would like to present you my universal MACD module.
In addition to the standard functions I have added several improvements:
Source Selection.
In addition to the standard calculation of the moving average "EMA", in the parameter "MA Type" I have added 52 more methods for calculating the MA! :
ADXMA, AHMA, ALF, ALMA, ARI, ARSI, BlackFilter, CTI, DoubleEma, DTA, DWMA, EEO, EHMA, ELA, EMARSI, EREA, HEMA, hma, HWMA, JAMA, KA, KAMA, LSMA, LWMA, McGinley_2, MNMA, PAW, REMA, rma, RMF, RMTA, RWMA, sma, SMMA, SuperSmooth, THMA, TilsonT3, TMA, TRAMA, TripleEma, TSF, VAMA, VAR, VHMA, VIDYA, VVMA, vwma, WCD, wma, WWMA, ZEMA, ZLMA !
Additional histogram and lines from the higher timeframe. With the parameter "Multiple of TF" you can specify on which timeframe the standard histogram should be zoomed.
The Zoom function allows increasing or decreasing the size of the histogram. (It does not affect the calculations in any way, it is only used for visualization purposes.)
How to use it?
I recommend using it as a standard MACD. You can test different types of moving averages thanks to my modules and choose the one you find most suitable.
Tips:
The script is slightly heavy and may take a little longer to load than usual.
All MA types are in alphabetical order and tied to numbers.
Next to the "MA Type" parameter there is a hint which method of calculating MA corresponds to the figure. The default is 15. In the hint 15 = EMA. This is the standard method of calculating the MAСD.
To select the MA more quickly. You can switch them with the mouse wheel or the arrows on the keyboard.
I use the standard parameters prescribed in the script.
The code is calibrated for any TF and displays as correctly as possible. Can be used on any type of chart.
Volume + VolatilityBefore I begin I want to mention:
1. This is a variation of the 'CCI & BB' made by matsu_bitmex (Link: ) and SigmaDraconis's 'On Balance Volume Oscillator + Bollinger Bands' (Link: )
2. While using this sometimes you may not notice the crossover so I've added the Line 'x' outside 'x' BB to only see if Line 3 and 4 crossed over
The indicator:
1. When the background is green and the 2 lines are going up it means uptrend
2. When the background is red and the 2 lines are going down it means downtrend
3. When there is a crossover and the background outside BB turns yellow, it means there is a lot of volatility or volume
How to use (Or how I use this):
1. All trades based on the yellow color MUST be during a trend
2. When the color changes to yellow for the 1st time in the direction of a trend it is advisable to enter
Momentum With Bullish & Bearish LabelMOMENTUM WITH BULLISH AND BEARISH SIGNALS
This is a momentum oscillator that paints red or green depending on whether Momentum is above or below the zero line. It includes a label on the right hand side that will reflect the bullish or bearish direction of the current momentum by changing colors to red or green and text telling you Bullish or Bearish.
***HOW TO USE***
When Momentum is above zero, it is bullish. When Momentum is below zero it is bearish.
A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if momentum is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend.
When momentum is above the zero line(Bullish) but trending downward, a second label will show up in purple to notify you of a change in momentum direction.
When momentum is below the zero line(Bearish) but trending upward, a second label will show up in purple to notify you of a change in momentum direction.
This indicator was built to help you quickly identify the Bullish or Bearish nature of the current Momentum using colors as well as a live color changing label so you can glance at the label and understand it's direction without analyzing the indicator data.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
***TIMEFRAMES***

Directional Movement Index + Fisher Price Action With LabelsDIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT INDEX + FISHER PRICE ACTION WITH LABELS
Directional Movement Index shows buy and sell pressure.
Fisher transform shows price action trending bullish or bearish.
Caution dots notify you of conflicting trends.
***HOW TO USE***
The top lines are the fisher transform showing you the price action trend.
The bottom lines filled with color shows the DMI directional movement index.
The yellow dots at the bottom tell you if these two indicators are currently giving conflicting signals.
DMI
If the green line is above the red line and the background is colored green, there is more market buying than selling.
If the red line is above the green line and the background is colored red, there is more market selling than buying.
FISHER TRANSFORM
If the lines are painted green, the price action is trending up.
If the lines are painted red, the price action is trending down.
CAUTION DOTS
If a yellow dot shows up at the bottom of the chart, it is notifying you that the DMI and Fisher Transform are currently giving opposite signals…. so use caution.
***BULLISH/BEARISH LABEL***
There is also a label on the right side that tells you whether there is more buying or selling. This table updates in real time and changes colors so you can get an easy, quick interpretation of the current buy/sell pressure without having to look at the indicator data so you can make faster decisions on whether to enter or exit a trade.
Green means more market buying than selling.
Red means more market selling than buying.
Blue means an equal amount of market buying and selling.
If buying pressure is bullish but below the 20 level, a second label will show up in purple letting you know there is weak buying pressure so use caution.
If selling pressure is bearish but below the 20 level, a second label will show up in purple letting you know there is weak selling pressure so use caution.
There is a third label showing the current trend of the fisher transform. Green means bullish price action. Red means bearish price action.
The fourth label is orange and only shows up when the DMI and Fisher Transform are currently giving opposite signals, so make sure you use caution during those times.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.

ETH Gravity OscillatorThis indicator is a deviation of a Center of Gravity Oscillator corrected for the diminishing returns of Ethereum.
I've set up this indicator for it to be used on the weekly timeframe . The indicator oscillates between 0 and 10, where 0 indicates oversold conditions and 10 indicates overbought conditions. What is interesting is that it is not particularly ideal for identifying market cycle tops, but generally picks out the most euphoric region in the initial parabolic rally. Good to potentially keep in mind if there is a second bounce to the peak!
The indicator plots in any ETH charts. It paints in all time frames, but Weekly time frame is the correct one to interpret the 'official' read of it.

StrengthA mathematically elegant, native & modern way how to measure velocity/ strength/ momentum. As you can see it looks like MACD, but !suddenly! has N times shorter code (disregard the functions), and only 1 parameter instead of 3. OMG HOW DID HE DO IT?!?
MACD: "Let's take one filter (1 parameter), than another filter (2 parameters), then let's take dem difference, then let's place another filter over the difference (3rd parameter + introduction of a nested calculation), and let's write a whole book about it, make thousands of multi-hours YouTube videos about it, and let's never mention about the amount of uncertainty being introduced by multiple parameters & introduction of the nested calculation."
Strength: "let's get real, let's drop a weighted linear regression & usual linear regression over the data of the same length, take dem slopes, then make the difference over these slopes, all good. And then share it with people w/o putting an ® sign".
Fyi, regressions were introduced centuries ago, maybe decades idk, the point is long time ago, and computational power enough to calculate what I'm saying is slightly more than required for macd.
Rationale.
Linearly weighted linear regression has steeper slope (W) than the usual linear regression slope (S) due to the fact that the recent datapoints got more weight. This alone is enough of a metric to measure velocity. But still I've recalled macd and decided to make smth like it cuz I knew it'll might make you happy. I realized that S can be used instead of smoothing the W, thus eliminating the nested calculation and keeping entropy & info loss in place. And see, what we get is natural, simple, makes sense and brings flex. I also wanna remind you that by applying regression we maximize the info gain by using all the data in the window, instead of taking difference between the first and the last datapoints.
This script is dedicated to my friend Fabien. Man, you were the light in the darkness in that company. You'll get your alien green Lambo if you'll really want it, no doubts on my side bout that.
Good hunting
Oscillators Overlay w/ Divergencies/Alerts by DGTAn oscillator is a technical analysis tool that, simply said, gauge momentum, determine market trend direction and duration. For some oscillators, fluctuations are bounded by some upper and lower band, and traders use them to discover short-term overbought or oversold conditions.
Oscillators are often combined with moving average indicators to signal trend breakouts or reversals
Histogram, is the difference between the oscillator and signal lines, which oscillates above and below a center line and is used as a good indication of an asset's momentum
What to look for
- Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the oscillators
- Zero Line Crossovers have a very similar premise to Signal Line Crossovers
- Divergence , when the oscillator and actual price are not in agreement, is another signal created by the oscillators
- Overbought and Oversold , with any range-bound oscillator, conditions are a primary signal generated
Oscillators Overlay study
* Presents oscillators on top of the mian chart (price chart)
* A single indicator for many well known and custom oscillators
* Divergence detection
* Alerts for various condtions
The list of oscillators included;
- Awesome Oscillator (AO)
- Chaikin Oscillator (Chaikin Osc)
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
- Distance Oscillator
- Elder-Ray Bear and Bull Power
- Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)
- Klinger Oscillator
- Money Flow Index (MFI)
- Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
- Rate Of Change (ROC)
- Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Stochastic (Stoch)
- Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI)
- Volume Oscillator (Volume Osc)
- Wave Trend
In technical analysis, investors find oscillators to be important technical tools and consider them more effective when used in conjunction with other means of technical analysis

Parabolic RSIThe Parabolic RSI is a fusion between two of Welles Wilder Jr.'s indicators:
* The parabolic stop-and-reverse: A trend following overlay indicator.
* The relative strength index: A contrarian indicator bounded between 0 and 100.
The parabolic RSI applies the RSI formula on the parabolic stop-and-reverse which in turn is applied on the market price. The main aim is to find an oscillator similar to the RSI but with a touch of a trend following indicator. In other words, the parabolic RSI is to be used in tandem with the regular RSI to get a confirmatory signal. Generally the parabolic RSI is more stable than the RSI due to the formula used (a type of smoothing from the parabolic stop-and-reverse) which is why it may have a diversification factor with the signals from the RSI.
The best way to use the parabolic RSI is as follows:
* A long signal is generated whenever the parabolic RSI exits the oversold level.
* A short signal is generated whenever the parabolic RSI exits the overbought level.
RedK Dual VADER with Energy Bars (VADER-DEB)VADER-DEB is not really a new indicator - This is a "visually enhanced" version of the Volume-Accelerated Directional Energy Ratio (VADER) I recently published - here's the direct link to read more about how RedK VADER works and how to use it (click the chart below to visit the link)
The visual improvements I added in VADER-DEB helps bring more insight about the market action by
1) exposing the dual/long VADER plot by default (which we use as a proxy for sentiment) - and it shows now as an area (instead of a histogram) - You can still hide the sentiment plot in indicator settings
and
2) by using directional "energy bars" (instead of energy lines in v3.0). Optional Red/Green DER Lines are available in study settings and are hidden by default.
So this is Dual VADER w/ Energy Bars -- or VADER-DEB for short.
These changes may be considered by some as small, but in my view, I found them to be more visually appealing and better for "driving action" - This works better for me as a visual person - so i thought to share with others who may be like me .. This is why i decided to publish this as a separate version and not as an update to the existing indicator - so you can make the choice which one you prefer to use.
There's no change in the core calculation within the code. As shown by the chart above where we compare both VADER versions side-by-side.
If you're happy with VADER v3.0, please feel free to continue to use it.
good luck !
Adaptive Momentum BaseThe Adaptive Momentum Base, (AMB), is a momentum based indicator which measures the momentum change in the recent candles and changes the colour of bar which it occurred on.
Momentum is used as a confirmation to show that the market may move in favour of your direction if the momentum is present for that direction.
Trade Example:
If you have long/short positions open and the market is moving in your favour, the signal will indicate to hold on to the position for a while has the price action has not been completed.
Script Explained:
AMB works by using the velocity created by the bars during the period of the "lookback" which is then used to formulate the momentum. The momentum is then compared against the previous bars and if a spike in momentum occurs, the indicator will follow to give a signal.
Momentum RibbonThe Momentum Ribbon is a collection of Moving Averages which indicate the severity of pull-backs in a given market.
As the ribbon spreads apart, it indicates more and more significant support/resistance for a trending market. As it is compressed back together, it displays a blue colour to indicate a "cooling" of trend momentum.
Adjustable Moving Average periods and types! You can customize the parameters of your ribbon to your heart's content!
MACD-X Overlay, 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.
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. 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.
Main features of MACD-X ;
1- Plotting of the Oscillator presented on top of the price chart (main chart) and applicable on both log and linear scale. Maximum plotting length is limited to 250 bars
2- Introduces different proven techniques applied on MACD calculation, such as MACD-AS (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
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.
• 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.
• 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 .
MACD Source provides relatively early crossovers comparing to MACD and better momentum direction indications, assuming the lengths are set to same values

RedK Momentum Bars (RedK Mo_Bars)Momentum Bars (Mo_Bars) offers a different way to visualize (relative) momentum - and uses some simple TA concepts to provide a different perspective into how we read momentum changes and incorporate that in our trading.
The idea here (and the script itself) is really super simple, and is (very loosely) inspired by Elder's Impulse System (EIS) - then evolved to leverage some other concepts, and to become less cluttering and "easier to read".
The construction of the Mo_Bars
---------------------------------------------
The base concept utilizes 3 moving average lines :
the first line is a relatively fast MA with a short length - acts as the main price tracking line
the second line is slightly slower than the main line - 2 to 3 bars longer length - and will by default use the open value as source - this works better to identify when the closing price starts to move faster than the open (as in, bars more frequently close higher than they open) - this line acts as the signal line - there's an added setting for an additional delay that utilizes regular WMA smoothing - the delay acts to magnify the relative displacement between the 2 MAs
for both these MA's, i choose to use the RSS MA (Lazy Line) - other MA types can be used, but the reason i used that MA type specifically is that it moves "gracefully" - and 2 Lazy Lines moving together minimizes whipsaws from small price swings - i tested with other MA types and found that the RSS has an advantage there.
the third line is a much slower MA (length 5 to 6 x the fast line) - and acts as a filter or a baseline. When we're above that line, we should favor long positions - we're in bull territory. When we're below that line we favor short positions, and we're in bear territory. Adjust this line as it suits your trading style and time frame.
(I choose to use WMA as the MA type for the filter line .. and there's a good reason for that - which i'll skip for now - but in future versions, we can add other selectable MA types. )
Using Mo_Bars
----------------------------
at a very broad level, we can use Mo_Bars similar to how we use a MACD - both are centered and unrestricted oscillators - note the difference that Mo_Bars is based on 3 MA's rather than 2.
the Mo_Bar bar length reflects the distance between the main MA and the signal MA - plotted relative to the baseline (filter line) - that means that the length of the bar represents the relative momentum between the 2 MA's - The Mo_Bars are then colored in a way that reflects increase or decrease in the value of that momentum (the visual here may have been inspired by another indicator recently published by one of our esteemed wizards - it worked perfectly - so due credits here :)
-- in simple terms, if the main MA is below the signal MA, the bar is red - and when the main MA is above the signal MA, the bar is green - a white bar usually shows up when there's a detected change of relative momentum direction (note that this is not the same as the trend direction - and that's what helps show and exploit convergence and divergence - similar to a MACD)
* in the chart above, i noted few examples of how visualizing relative momentum in this way exposes areas of chop (Mo_Bars above zero but are in red or moving down, or when Mo_Bars are below zero and green or moving up) - convergence / divergence with price - and how this can act to expose the possibility of potential changes in price action or trend.
* there's so much more to play around with this setup - and maybe if there's enough interest there can be future dedicated posts on how utilize or even to evolve it further - there's a lot of potential here, to add more filters (maybe volume based), alerts, signals...etc - so let's see the interest :)
Here's the detailed (top chart) setup that Mo_Bars is based on -- The settings for the MA's on the price charts have been matched / sync'ed with the Mo_Bars settings on the lower panel to demonstrate how the script works and how it translate the MA action on the price chart to what we see below.
As always, please play around with the indicator to get used to how it works - use it in tandem with other indicators to get proper confirmations and adjust settings to suit your own trading style, time frame, and instruments
Feedback and thoughts are always welcome --- good luck!
