A MACD Histogram-Based TSI Oscillator with a Cloud Signal

Summary

This document describes an indicator that constructs a True Strength Index oscillator from MACD histogram values. It adds its own signal line, displayed as a colored cloud, giving the trader a visual way to compare the oscillator with its signal. The source is identified as a MetaTrader implementation by MetaQuotes, and the description notes that it uses classes from an external smoothing library that must be available in the platform’s include folder.

The material explains the indicator’s inputs and visual presentation only at a high level. It includes no parameter settings, interpretation rules, sample chart discussion, trade entries, or evidence from backtesting. It also mentions a separate fractals indicator in its development history, without explaining how that relates to the TSI_MACD calculation. As a result, the document is useful for understanding the indicator’s basic construction, but not for assessing its predictive value or defining a standalone strategy. Users would need to examine the implementation and evaluate signals on their intended instruments and timeframes.

Key ideas

• The oscillator applies the True Strength Index concept to MACD histogram values.
• A dedicated signal line is shown as a colored cloud.
• The MetaTrader implementation depends on a separate smoothing library.
• The description does not provide signal rules, parameter guidance, or performance tests.
