Visualizing MACD Zero-Line Regimes with Color Candles

Summary

This indicator colors candle areas according to whether a selected MACD line is above or below zero. Its setting lets the user choose between the MACD main line and the signal line, so the display can represent either series’ zero-line regime. The described contribution is visual: it uses colored candles to make periods on either side of zero easier to distinguish on a chart.

The document provides no trading rules, parameter guidance, performance results, or market examples. It does not explain how to interpret regime changes or whether they predict price direction. Treat the coloring as a display aid for MACD state, not evidence of a profitable signal; any strategy built around it would need separate testing and risk controls.

Key ideas

• The indicator colors chart candles based on whether the chosen MACD series is above or below zero.
• Users can choose the MACD main line or the signal line to control the displayed regime.
• The document describes a visualization feature rather than entry, exit, or risk-management rules.
• No performance evidence or guidance on interpreting zero-line transitions is provided.
