MACD-V - Volatility(ATR) normalized MACD

kelmarin

The MACD-V indicator modifies the traditional MACD formula by dividing the difference between the two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) by the Average True Range (ATR)

The key advantages of this indicator over MACD are:

• Cross-market comparability: The classic MACD gives different readings for different instruments (like a stock versus a commodity) that are not directly comparable. MACD-V's normalization makes momentum readings comparable across different markets.
  
• Time-based stability: Classic MACD readings can't be reliably compared over long periods of time due to changes in an asset's price and volatility. MACD-V's volatility adjustment creates more stable and consistent readings over time.
  
• Reduction of false signals: In sideways or low-momentum markets, the traditional MACD can generate numerous false crossover signals near the zero line. MACD-V filters out these false signals by defining specific "neutral zones," typically between -50 and +50, where crossovers are ignored.
  
• Consistent Thresholds: MACD-V overbought and oversold thresholds (e.g., +150 and -150) are independent of instrument price, allowing for a more objective framework for analyzing momentum.
