SMACD - Standardised MACDStandardised MACD - this uses the MACD indicator, but expressed as a percentage of Close price. This allows for the relative comparison between stocks which have different absolute values. MACD will give a high value to a high priced stock, whereas SMACD will represent stock performance in a standardised format, relative to the closing price of the stock. It effect it represents the MACD as a percentage of share price. An added advantage of SMACD over MACD is that since the indicator is relative to the price, later values are not inflated (assuming rising trend). Thus the scale is not linear, rather it more like a log scale, offering a truer picture of growth over time. It is for this reason the SMACD lines may slightly differ from MACD, but it is a more valid representation in my view. The difference is minor. (Developed by Des Bleakley - Melbourne)

v01 - orginal description
---------------------------------
Insync Index, by Norm North, is a consensus indicator. It uses RSI, MACD, MFI, DPO, ROC, Stoch, CCI and %B to calculate a composite signal. Basically, this index shows that when a majority of underlying indicators is in sync, a turning point is near.
There are couple of ways to use this indicator.
- Buy when crossing up 5, sell when crossing down 95.
- Market is typically bullish when index is above 50, bearish when below 50. This can be a great confirmation signal for price action + trend lines.
Also, since this is typical oscillator, look for divergences between price and index.
Levels 75/25 are early warning levels. Note that, index > 75 (and less than 95) should be considered very bullish and index below 25 (but above 5) as very bearish. Levels 95/5 are equivalent to traditional OB/OS levels.
The various values of the underlying components can be tuned via options page. I have also provided an option to color bars based on the index value.

RN MACD SignalsThis is my simple way to quickly see MACD signals without having the MACD taking up space. The one at the bottom is for display to show how this works. A crossover occurs when the arrow flips over. The position of the arrow tells you if it is currently above or below the zero line. You can change the script to overlay and have it show up above or below price also. Let me know what you think.
AK MACD BB INDICATOR V 1.00Here's my version of the MACD _BB . This is a great indicator to capture short term trends.
yellow candles = long
aqua candles = short
This indicator can be much better. I will work on it and publish an improved version (hopefully) soon. In the mean time , go ahead and play around with the code, and please share your findings :)
Cheers

Normalized MACDNormalized MACD
There are varius options like choosing the moving average to use, sometimes i prefer the wma it is much smoother
Added also macd line to swap color and Fill that plots columns
vdubsoxI've been asking for this concept for a while, a simple MA that rides the top side of the trend instead of the bottom, and by accident came across the 'Hull ma' on a TV blog post. I've added another two simple Moving averages to act as strength indicator with close proximity to the price.
The strategy is simple MA cross over but with the early indication using Hull ma gives you a heads up on trend / price reversal.
I'm using this in conjunction with BB set at 34. on a 1/3/5 min charts & Heiken Ashi to smooth out the noise with awesome success trading Binary options.
S3-ZMACDHere's a modified MACD which uses ZL calculation for the emas, phi adjustment to the fast signal and an optimized period set. It useful because it will give predictive signals for many setups.
Waddah Attar Explosion [LazyBear]This is a port of a famous MT4 indicator, as requested by user @maximus71. This indicator uses MACD/BB to track trend direction and strength. Author suggests using this indicator on 30mins.
Explanation from the indicator developer:
"Various components of the indicator are:
Dead Zone Line: Works as a filter for weak signals. Do not trade when the red or green histogram is below it.
Histograms:
- Red histogram shows the current down trend.
- Green histogram shows the current up trend.
- Sienna line shows the explosion in price up or down.
Signal for ENTER_BUY: All the following conditions must be met.
- Green histo is raising.
- Green histo above Explosion line.
- Explosion line raising.
- Both green histo and Explosion line above DeadZone line.
Signal for EXIT_BUY: Exit when green histo crosses below Explosion line.
Signal for ENTER_SELL: All the following conditions must be met.
- Red histo is raising.
- Red histo above Explosion line.
- Explosion line raising.
- Both red histo and Explosion line above DeadZone line.
Signal for EXIT_SELL: Exit when red histo crosses below Explosion line. "
All of the parameters are configurable via options page. You may have to tune it for your instrument.

This might be better suited to be combined with other indicator to be effective, such as the Fisher Transform of RSI.
I hope you have found this useful :) Happy trading.
Thanks to @MikeLloyd for referring me to this, and here's my port for you.
MACD Leader [LazyBear]Smoothing methods have lag, and since MACD makes use of moving averages, it usually lags behind price. You cannot eliminate lag completely, but one way of working around this is by adding a component of the price/MA difference back to MA. This technique is called Zero-lag (well, almost). "MACD Leader" makes use of this to form a leading signal to MACD.
First proposed by Giorgos E. Siligardos, "Leader" leads normal MACD, especially when significant trend changes are about to take place. This has the following features:
- It is similar to MACD in smoothness.
- It can be plotted along with MACD in the same window using the same scaling.
- It has the ability to lead MACD at critical situations
For detailed discussion on the various divergence patterns, refer to the PDF I have linked in the "More Info" below.
I have provided an option to plot MACD and MACD signal on the same pane. You can enable/disable them via options page.
For Pinescript coders: Try enabling histo on this to compare with normal MACD histo :)

MAC-Z VWAP Indicator [LazyBear]This a modified MAC-Z using Z-VWAP. Since this uses VWAP, the signals are derived indirectly from both volume and price action.
I have also included a way to smooth MACZ-VWAP, you can enable it via options page.
Note that this will not work on any FX pair, as volume is not available.

Ergotic MACD Strategy This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book
"Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more,
we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects
of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical
engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship
between price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding,
he then looks at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some
innovative techniques, including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional
issues, he analyzes the intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help
define trending and non-trending periods.
Blau`s indicator is like usual MACD, but it plots opposite of meaningof
stndard MACD indicator.

MAC-Z Indicator [LazyBear]This indicator is a composite of MACD and Z-Score (requested by @ChartAt). The general idea is that counter-trend component of the Z-score is used to adjust/improve the trend component of the MACD. The advantage is that it is a more accurate and “assumption-free” and can more accurately describe how a market or stock actually works in a given time frame.
I have also added support to smooth out the MAC-Z using Laguerre filter (Thanks @TheLark for the excellent LMA). Note that smoothing removes the "noise" component additive of Z-Score, so you may miss some good signals. By default Laguerre smoothing is OFF, I suggest playing with the Gamma to see if you can find a proper trade-off value.

TheLark: Laguerre PPOA while ago I posted a more flexible MACD, known as PPO (See that post for details).
Yesterday I had a request by @ChartArt for a Laguerre MACD. Since I favor PPO to MACD, here it is!
Completely untested, and not at all price fit. Play with the numbers and leave a comment if you come up with an interesting combination or idea ;)
