Adding Floating Levels and Color Signals to a Smoothed MACD

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document presents an extended version of a smoothed momentum MACD indicator with floating levels. It describes four ways the indicator can change color: when price crosses outer levels, crosses a middle level, changes slope, or crosses the zero level. The color changes are offered as potential signals for users to interpret.

The description does not specify how the floating levels or smoothing are calculated, nor does it define entry, exit, or position-sizing rules. It provides no charts, market examples, backtest, or evidence about signal quality. As a result, it introduces a visual indicator concept rather than a complete trading method, and users would need further details to reproduce or evaluate it.

Key ideas

  • The indicator extends a smoothed momentum MACD with floating levels.
  • Color changes correspond to outer-level crosses, middle-level crosses, slope changes, and zero-level crosses.
  • The color transitions are presented as possible trading signals.
  • The document gives no calculation details or performance evidence for the indicator.
