ColorMACD_HTF: Viewing MACD on a Selected Timeframe

Summary

ColorMACD_HTF is described as a colored MACD histogram with an input for selecting the timeframe used for the indicator. The example default is a four-hour period, allowing the indicator's calculation period to differ from the chart's timeframe. This offers a way to view MACD information from a chosen interval alongside price data on another chart interval.

The document gives only a short feature description and a timeframe input example. It does not explain the histogram's color rules, define entry or exit signals, or discuss how higher-timeframe values are synchronized with lower-timeframe bars. No instrument examples, backtests, or performance results are included. The indicator also depends on a separate ColorMACD file, so the description alone is insufficient to reproduce the full calculation. Traders would need to inspect that underlying indicator and independently test any interpretation before using it in a strategy.

Key ideas

• The indicator presents MACD as a colored histogram.
• An input selects the timeframe used for the indicator calculation.
• The example setting uses a four-hour timeframe.
• The document does not provide signal rules, validation results, or details of the underlying MACD implementation.
