Unlock advanced technical analysis with the Nadaraya-Watson: Envelope (Non-Repainting) With MACD indicator.
Combining the robust smoothing capabilities of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator with the momentum insights of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), this powerful tool offers precise trend detection, dynamic envelope boundaries, and actionable crossover signals—all while ensuring non-repainting reliability.
Key Features
Nadaraya-Watson Estimator: Provides a smooth trend line (yhat_close) that effectively filters out market noise. Dynamic Envelopes: Utilizes ATR-based upper and lower boundaries that adapt to market volatility. MACD Integration: Incorporates customizable MACD settings to assess market momentum. Crossover Signals: Displays green crosses when the MACD signal line crosses above zero and red crosses when it crosses below zero. Non-Repainting: Ensures all signals are based on confirmed historical data, providing reliable and consistent indicators. Customizable Aesthetics: Offers extensive color and style options to match your charting preferences.
How to Use
Trend Identification: - Observe the Nadaraya-Watson Estimator (yhat_close) to determine the underlying trend direction. - Use the envelope boundaries to identify potential support and resistance levels based on market volatility. Momentum Confirmation: - Analyze the MACD line, signal line, and histogram to assess market momentum and potential trend reversals. - Look for changes in the MACD histogram to identify strengthening or weakening momentum. Crossover Signals: - Green Cross (✗): Consider bullish trades when the MACD signal line crosses above zero, especially if the price is above the Nadaraya-Watson trend line. - Red Cross (✗): Consider bearish trades when the MACD signal line crosses below zero, especially if the price is below the Nadaraya-Watson trend line. Envelope Interaction: - Monitor price interactions with the upper and lower envelope boundaries to identify potential breakout or reversal opportunities.
Customization Options
Kernel Settings: Adjust lookback window (h), relative weighting (alpha), and regression start bar (x_0) to tailor the estimator to different market conditions. MACD Settings: Modify fast and slow lengths, signal smoothing periods, and choose between SMA or EMA for moving averages. Envelope ATR Settings: Customize ATR length (atr_length) and near/far ATR factors (nearFactor & farFactor) to control envelope sensitivity. Color Settings: Select from a range of colors for trend lines, envelopes, and MACD components to enhance visual clarity.
I find that this works very well if you increase the 'timeframe' for the indicator to a higher time frame. Give this indicator a try!
