PROTECTED SOURCE SCRIPT
Double MACD Intraday Scalp identifier
Please be aware - this script is not to be used in isolation but is a relatively easy way of detecting potential intraday scalps combined with other analysis. It is to be used on a 5 minute interval chart.
The script is essentially a simple two layered time frame MACD used on a 5 minute chart by combining two MACDs into one script saving user indicator allowance limits.
The shorter MACD is 8/21/7 in BLACK and RED
The longer MACD is 3 x the above at 24/63/21 in BLUE and FUCHSIA and equivalent to a 15 minute chart overlay.
Both MACDs are replicated in the same colors on the main chart with EMAs.
The reason for these specific inputs is nothing more than personal preference and using the traditional 12/26/9 and trebling it for the 15 minute overlay at 36/78/27 is entirely up to the individual. Back testing different parameters to suit your own style is advised.
________________________________
Basic Rules for a Potential BUY setup with trades being taken on subsequent bar opening.
The long MACD (blue and fuchsia) suggests the Primary trend.
1. Long MACD above Signal and MACD above "0" and rising (Histogram is grey and rising away from zero) - Strong weighted signal.
2. Long MACD above Signal with MACD below "0" but rising (Histogram grey and rising towards zero) - Medium/Strong weighted signal.
3. Long MACD is NOT above Signal and below zero but rising (Histogram is grey and rising towards zero) - Medium weighted Signal.
The short MACD (black and red has the histogram turned off) is the Scalping trend within the above Primary trend.
4. Short MACD above Signal and MACD above "0" and rising is positive in combination with above. This is a fixed rule with no alternatives.
The reverse applies for a potential SELL setup with the Histogram orange.
________________________________
In the attached snapshot you'll see all the other analysis used in combination with the Double MACD to confirm or negate the potential setups with 3 x trades marked at the appropriate points. All 3 trades in this instance are "Medium Weighted Signal" setups applying Rules 3 and 4 but they all turned out to be successful using additional analysis to confirm. Only Trade 3 incurred drawdown and was placed after PRICE closed above VWAP on the preceding bar.
It is up to the individual to use whatever additional analysis they choose to confirm or negate any given potential setups and the below is used in the chart example. TP points are arbitrary to the individual's analysis style but these are generally short term scalp trades so diligence in applying personal goals and utilizing combination analysis is paramount to any success as always.

NB. This strategy is concentration intensive and becomes far more productive when following only a few FX pairs at any given time and although it was designed primarily for FX trading, it can be applied across all asset classes with equal success.
