Digital MACD Histogram from Two Digital Filters

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator presents a MACD-style histogram calculated from the difference between two digital filters. It is an alternative way to construct and display a familiar momentum indicator, rather than a complete trading strategy: the description gives no entry or exit rules, parameter values, or interpretation of histogram signals.

The implementation relies on reusable smoothing classes from a separate library, whose role is to support intermediate price-series calculations. The text notes that the indicator originated in MQL4 and was later published in an MQL5 code collection. It supplies no performance testing, comparisons with conventional MACD, or evidence that the digital-filter calculation improves signals. Traders would need to examine the filter definitions and test the indicator on their own data before relying on it.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots a MACD-like histogram from the difference between two digital filters.
  • Its calculations depend on smoothing classes provided by a separate library.
  • The document describes an indicator implementation, not a full trading strategy.
  • No parameter settings or performance evidence are provided.
