Multi-Timeframe MACD Confirmation for Automated Trading

Summary

This brief description outlines an automated MetaTrader 4 trading approach that uses MACD signals across two chart intervals. A signal on the daily chart acts as the directional filter: the system waits for a matching signal on a 15-minute chart before placing a trade. The document also says the example includes money management and a trailing stop, but it does not explain their calculations or settings.

The text provides no actual signal rules, code details, backtest results, or evidence about profitability. It presents the example as educational and cautions against using it on a live account. Without information about position sizing, stop placement, transaction costs, or how conflicting signals are handled, the description is insufficient to evaluate the strategy or reproduce it reliably.

Key ideas

• The approach uses a daily MACD signal to set trade direction.
• A matching 15-minute signal is required before a trade is entered.
• The example is described as including money management and a trailing stop, but their rules are unspecified.
• The document provides no performance evidence and warns against live-account use.
