MACD Histogram and Force Index Trend Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This indicator combines two timeframes and two measures to classify bars as bullish, bearish, or neutral. It uses the MACD histogram on a weekly chart to identify whether momentum is increasing or decreasing, alongside the Force Index oscillator on a daily chart to qualify the signal. Green bars indicate a rising histogram while Force Index is below zero; red bars indicate a falling histogram while Force Index is above zero. Other conditions are shown in gray.

The document describes the indicator’s signal logic but provides no backtest, market examples, parameter details, or evidence that the colors predict profitable trades. It also does not explain how to act on a signal, manage risk, or handle conflicting readings across timeframes. Treat it as a technical indicator description rather than a validated trading strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator combines a weekly MACD histogram with a daily Force Index reading.
  • A rising MACD histogram and negative Force Index produce a green bar.
  • A falling MACD histogram and positive Force Index produce a red bar.
  • Gray bars represent conditions outside the two specified signal combinations.
  • The document gives no performance evidence or trade management rules.
