MACD Histogram Pattern for Trend Continuation

Summary

This document describes an hourly MACD histogram setup intended to identify trend continuation. The rules use threshold levels and the sequence of histogram highs, lows, and reversals to define potential long and short signals. For a long setup, a histogram high must exceed a positive threshold, followed by a low that remains above that level; the histogram then falls below a negative threshold and turns upward past a smaller positive threshold without crossing below zero. The short rules use corresponding levels around zero and a downward reversal.

The document says an Expert Advisor was written to check the strategy’s efficiency, but it supplies no test results, instrument, risk controls, or detailed parameter rationale. The thresholds are presented as part of the pattern, with no discussion of whether they should be normalized across markets or time periods. Treat the rules as a strategy specification rather than evidence of profitability.

Key ideas

• The setup uses MACD histogram peaks and reversals to seek trend continuation on an hourly chart.
• Long and short entries rely on different threshold sequences around the zero line.
• The document mentions an Expert Advisor but provides no performance results or risk-management rules.
• Threshold suitability across instruments and market regimes is not addressed.
