A MACD Variant Built from Fast and Slow Momentum Measures

Summary

This short indicator note proposes a MACD-style oscillator formed by taking the difference between fast and slow momentum measures, rather than the difference between fast and slow moving averages used in conventional MACD. It suggests interpreting the result in familiar ways: a cross of the zero line or a change in slope can serve as a trading signal.

The note offers no formula details, chart examples, backtest, assets, or timeframe, and gives no evidence for its claim that the resulting behavior is usable. It mentions that the calculation contains an intentional unusual feature but does not explain it in the text. Readers therefore cannot reproduce or evaluate the variant from this description alone; signal definitions, parameter choices, and testing would be needed before assessing its usefulness.

Key ideas

• The proposed oscillator subtracts slow momentum from fast momentum.
• Zero-line crosses and slope direction are suggested as signal methods.
• The description does not specify the momentum calculation or parameter values.
• No performance evidence or market context is provided.
