Reading the Leader of MACD as a Two-Indicator Display

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document introduces the Leader of the MACD indicator, attributed to Giorgos E. Siligardos. It describes a display that combines a regular MACD and its signal line with a second component called the Leader MACD. The regular MACD and signal are shown as lines, while shaded areas represent the Leader MACD component.

The article’s main practical point is visual: presenting the two components with different graphical forms is intended to make them easier to distinguish and read than in an earlier MetaTrader 4 presentation. It does not provide the indicator’s calculation formula, trading rules, examples of signal interpretation, or performance evidence. As a result, it offers a brief description of the display rather than guidance for using the indicator to generate or validate trades.

Key ideas

  • The display combines a regular MACD with a separate Leader MACD component.
  • The regular MACD and signal line are drawn as lines.
  • Shaded areas distinguish the Leader MACD component from the line display.
  • The document describes a readability improvement but gives no calculation details or trading evidence.
