What is Auto MACD?
Auto MACD plots the MACD line and its signal line in a sub-window, with a histogram that shows the distance between them in green and red. The MACD line recolours by trend direction, and the indicator marks the crossover points between the two lines with signal arrows.
On the chart
MACD and signal lines
The two lines that make up the classic MACD read, with the MACD line recoloured by trend.
Green and red histogram
Bars show whether momentum is building or easing, coloured by direction.
Signal arrows on crossovers
An arrow marks each crossover of the MACD and signal lines.
Educational example
The indicator marks trend shifts, with entry and exit points shown as examples of how a trader may use the signal within their own strategy. It is not investment advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument.
The dashboard
Always know it is working
A compact status indicator keeps you informed of the indicator's state at a glance, so you never wonder whether it is live.
The panel stays out of the way
A floating button hides and shows the dashboard on your chart, so it clears the view when you want the candles alone.
Min / max, not fixed values
Every input adjusts between a minimum and a maximum rather than a single fixed value, so the indicator can adapt while staying within your bounds.
The readout you asked for
The dashboard shows the fast, slow and signal periods in use, for example 12/26/9, together with the price the indicator is applied to.
Adjustable inputs
| Input | Range |
|---|---|
| Fast period | 6 – 15 |
| Slow period | 20 – 35 |
| Signal period | 5 – 12 |
The defaults are ready to go. These ranges just bound how far the indicator can adapt on the chart in front of it.
Questions
Each bar shows how far the MACD line is from its signal line, green when the gap is building in one direction and red in the other.
