RedK_xMACD: Extending the classic MACD with a simple filterThis is a simple concept that attempts to squeeze more price action insights from the classic MACD
we add a 3rd (longer length, slower) Moving Average line that acts as a trend filter - so whenever we are ("we" = the price and the 2 other MAs) are above that filter line, we consider ourselves to be in the up-trend territory, and vica versa .. so the MACD calculation here - that is represented by the main (reg/green) line in the plot - will represent the distance between the slow MA and the filter MA - when that MACD line crosses the zero axis up or down, that represents the trand reversing from one direction to the other.
A signal line (a smoothed version of that MACD line) is still added for 2 reasons
1 - the signal line makes it easy to see if an eminent trend reversal is to be expected
2 - to stay visually-consistent with the classic MACD :)
the distance (or delta) between the other 2 MAs continues to reflect an indication of the short-term momentum and is what the histogram represents.
we still have the benefit of the convergence/diversion between the price itself and the histogram similar to the classic MACD
this MACD version will also clearly show how price and momentum action will lead the trend -- i know that's a big discussion topic :)
i added a classic MACD at the bottom panel, and used the same length settings (fast / slow) for side-by-side comparison
i coded this when i found that i use 3 moving averages all the time during my chart analysis, and while i'm a big fan of the classic MACD, i wanted to find a simple way to get my MACD to reflect what the 3 MAs on the price chart show. turned out to be insightful - i hope other fellow traders may find this useful
the code is simple and i started it from the built-in MACD in TradingView. Other annotations are added to the chart here as i believe this will better explain how the eXtended MACD works
- there are 4 reversals that occur in that chart, and i chose to show one in step-by-step fashion.
if more explanation is needed to how this can be used, pls let me know in the comments.

Reverse MACD IndicatorIntroducing the reverse MACD Indicator.
This is my Pinescript implementation of the reverse MACD indicator.
Much respect to Mr Johnny Dough the original creator of this idea.
Feel free to reuse this script, drop me a note below if you find this useful.
Investopedia defines the MACD as a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price.
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA .
The result of that calculation is the MACD line.
A nine-day EMA of the MACD called the "signal line," is then plotted on top of the MACD line, which can function as a trigger for buy and sell signals.
Traders may buy the security when the MACD crosses above its signal line and sell—or short—the security when the MACD crosses below the signal line.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ) indicators can be interpreted in several ways, but the more common methods are crossovers, divergences, and rapid rises/falls.
MACD triggers technical signals when it crosses above (to buy) or below (to sell) its signal line.
The speed of crossovers is also taken as a signal of a market is overbought or oversold.
MACD helps investors understand whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price is strengthening or weakening.
The MACD has a positive value (shown as the red line on the price chart ) whenever the 12-period EMA ( indicated by the blue line on the price chart) is above the 26-period EMA (the red line in the price chart) and a negative value when the 12-period EMA is below the 26-period EMA .
The more distant the MACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the two EMAs is growing.
The baseline here is the white line.
The Reverse function of the MACD provides value by letting the user know the specific price needed to expect a MACD cross over in the opposite direction.
This function can be used to designate risk parameters for a potential trade if using the MACD as their source of edge, letting the user know exactly where and how much their risk is for a potential trade which can be used to design an effective trading plan.
P-MACD by DGTPrice and Moving Averages Convergence/Divergence, shortly named as P-MACD
P-MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between Price and Long-term Moving Average (PMACD), and the relationship between two Moving Averages (MAMACD). P-MACD is composed of two lines, and an histogram, showing price distance (convergence/divergence) to its Long-term MA (PMACD), showing short-term MA distance (convergence/divergence) to long-term MA (MAMACD), and a histogram showing the difference (momentum) between the PMACD and MAMACD
The PMACD is calculated by dividing the Price to Long-term Moving Average (200-period SMA/EMA) and finally smoothed with 9-period SMA/EMA
- PMACD Line Formula : (Price / SlowMovingAverage -1) * 100 and smoothed with 9-period SMA/EMA
The MAMACD is calculated by dividing the Short-term Moving Average (such as 20 SMA/EMA) to the Long-term Moving Average (such as 200-period SMA/EMA)
- MAMACD Line Formula : (FastMovingAverage / SlowMovingAverage -1) * 100
The Histogram is calculated by subscripting PMACD and MAMACD
- Formula : PMACD - MAMACD
Optional
Trend Cloud calculated based on fast and slow version of MAMACD
What to look for:
- Line Crosses : PMACD Line can function as a trigger(signal) for buy and sell signals. Buy when the PMACD crosses above the MAMACD line and sell - or short - when the PMACD crosses below the MAMACD line
- Base Crosses : PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses above or below Baseline is another way to indicate the trend and momentum. MAMACD crosses of Baseline, MAMACD positive or negative, reflects short-term moving average crosses the long-term moving average and similarly, PMACD crosses of BaseLine, PMACD positive or negative, reflects price crosses a long-term moving average
- Momentum : P-MACD helps investors understand whether the bullish or bearish movement in the price is strengthening or weakening displayed with a histogram which graphs the distance between the PMACD and MAMACD. Additionally, upward momentum is confirmed with a bullish crossover, which occurs when PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses above Baseline. Conversely, downward momentum is confirmed with a bearish crossover, which occurs when PMACD and/or MAMACD crosses below Baseline
- Distance : Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement. The more distant the PMACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the Price and its SMA is growing (regarding PMACD, You may find a detailed article explained in “Price Distance to its MA” indicator by DGT) . Similarly the more distant the MAMACD is above or below its baseline indicates that the distance between the two SMAs is growing
- Trend : A rising P-MACD indicates an uptrend, while a declining P-MACD indicates a downtrend
MACD vs. P-MACD
MACD measures the relationship between two MAs, while the P-MACD measures both the relationship between price and its MA, and the relationship between two MAs. MAMACD Line of P-MACD If set to same moving average type and same lengths as in MACD will produce the same line as MACD line, only values are represented as percentage with MAMACD. Both measure momentum in a market, but, because they measure different factors, they differentiate from each other even if they have similarities in presentation. P-MACD provides additional insights, not only to MA relation but also to Price and MA relation
Warning : Moving Average are calculated based on past prices, so they are lagging. The longer the time period for the moving average, the greater the lag as well as less sensitive to price changes. This study implements usage of 200-period long-term moving average, which implies that the P-MACD will provide insight especially for long-term trades, more suited for long-term trades, usage of P-MACD for short-term trades is recommend with lower timeframes (1H or lower).
Indicators aim to generate a potential signal/indication of an upcoming opportunity, but, the Indicators themselves do not guarantee the future movement of a given financial instrument, and are most useful when used in combination with other techniques.
Trading success is all about following your trading strategy and the indicators should fit within your trading strategy, and not to be traded upon solely

MACD-V MomentumThe MACD-V (Moving Average Convergence Divergence – Volatility Normalized) is an award-winning momentum indicator created by Alex Spiroglou, CFTe, DipTA (ATAA). It improves on the traditional MACD by normalizing momentum with volatility, solving several well-known limitations of classic indicators:
✅ Time stability – readings are consistent across history
✅ Cross-market comparability – works equally on stocks, crypto, forex, and commodities
✅ Objective momentum framework – universal thresholds at +150 / -150, +50 / -50
✅ Cleaner signals – reduces false signals in ranges and lag in high momentum
By dividing the MACD spread by ATR, the indicator expresses momentum in volatility units, allowing meaningful comparison across timeframes and markets.
MACD-V defines seven objective momentum states:
Risk (Oversold): below -150
Rebounding: -150 to +50 and above signal
Rallying: +50 to +150 and above signal
Risk (Overbought): above +150
Retracing: above -50 and below signal
Reversing: -150 to -50 and below signal
Ranging: between -50 and +50 for N bars
Optional background tints highlight the active regime (Bull above 200-MA, Bear below 200-MA).
Rare extremes (e.g., MACD-V < -100 in a bull regime) are tagged for additional context.
Use Cases
Identify and track momentum lifecycles across any market
Spot rare extremes for potential reversal opportunities
Filter out low-momentum whipsaws in ranging conditions
Compare momentum strength across multiple symbols
Support systematic and rule-based strategy development
VWMA MACD AmanitaVWMA MACD (Volume-Weighted MACD)
This indicator modifies the standard MACD by replacing EMAs with VWMAs
(Volume-Weighted Moving Averages).
- Fast VWMA (default 12 bars)
- Slow VWMA (default 26 bars)
- MACD Line = Fast VWMA - Slow VWMA
- Signal Line = EMA of MACD (default 9 bars)
- Histogram = MACD - Signal
Compared to the standard MACD, this version emphasizes price moves that
are backed by higher trading volume, helping to filter out weak signals.
The script also lets you choose the price source (Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4).

Heikin Ashi + MACD Momentum FilterThe Heikin Ashi + MACD Momentum Filter is designed for short-term and swing traders, combining the trend-smoothing capabilities of manually calculated Heikin Ashi candles with the momentum confirmation of the MACD histogram to generate reliable buy and sell signals. This indicator aligns trend direction with momentum shifts to minimize false signals, making it ideal for trading trending markets on timeframes like 5-minute to 1-hour charts.
How It Works
The indicator uses two technical components to produce signals:
Heikin Ashi for Trend Detection:
Heikin Ashi candles are manually calculated to smooth price action, with the close as the average of OHLC values and the open as the average of the previous Heikin Ashi open and close. These values are further smoothed over a default 5-period moving average. A bullish trend is confirmed when the smoothed Heikin Ashi close is above its open (plotted in green), and a bearish trend when the close is below the open (plotted in red). This smoothing reduces noise, helping traders stay in the direction of the prevailing trend.
MACD Histogram for Momentum Confirmation:
The MACD, calculated with standard settings (fast=12, slow=26, signal=9), produces a histogram. A buy signal requires the histogram to cross above a threshold (default: 0.0), indicating bullish momentum, while a sell signal requires a cross below, indicating bearish momentum. This ensures trades are taken when momentum supports the trend.
Signal Generation
Signals are generated using the previous bar’s values to prevent repainting:
Buy Signal: The MACD histogram crosses above the threshold, and the Heikin Ashi confirms a bullish trend. Displayed as a green upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signal: The MACD histogram crosses below the threshold, and the Heikin Ashi confirms a bearish trend. Displayed as a red downward triangle above the bar.

Ghosty's MACD ROCThis indicator takes the classic MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and gives it a fresh twist to help you spot trading opportunities faster and smoother. It uses a single MACD—set to a medium speed (24, 52, 18)—and focuses on how quickly the MACD is moving up or down, rather than waiting for it to cross its signal line.
Here’s how it works:
The purple line (MACD) and yellow line (signal) show you the trend’s strength, squished into a simple -1 to 1 range so they’re easy to read. When they merge and flatten, a change is brewing.
The blue line above (Rate of Change, or ROC) tracks the MACD’s speed. It’s smoothed out to cut through market noise, so you’re not distracted by tiny wiggles.
Green crosses pop up on the MACD line when its speed turns positive—think of it as a “go” signal for buying. Red crosses appear when the speed turns negative—a “stop” or sell signal.
It’s designed to catch moves early, before the trend fully kicks in, while keeping false signals in check. Perfect for traders who want a clear, no-fuss way to time their entries and exits. You can tweak the settings—like the MACD lengths or smoothing—to match your style or market.

RSI & MACD Exit IndicatorThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential exit points for long and short trades by combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Unlike traditional indicators that provide entry signals, this script is specifically optimized for exit strategies, helping traders manage their positions efficiently.
How It Works
The script identifies potential exit points based on the following conditions:
🔴 Exit Long:
- RSI crosses above the user-defined overbought threshold (default: 65).
- MACD crosses below the signal line (bearish crossover).
🟢 Exit Short:
- RSI crosses below the user-defined oversold threshold (default: 35).
- MACD crosses above the signal line (bullish crossover).
When these conditions align, a label appears on the price chart indicating an exit point.
Key Features
- Customizable RSI & MACD Settings – Adjust lengths and thresholds to suit your strategy.
- ATR-Based Adjustments – The script incorporates an ATR multiplier for dynamic signal adjustments based on market volatility.
- Clear Visual Labels – Exit points are clearly marked on price candles.
- Color-Coded Background – Highlights buy/sell zones for quick identification.
- Alerts for Exit Signals – Receive notifications when exit conditions are met.
- Clean Chart Design – The MACD plots are placed below the main chart to avoid clutter.
How to Use
⚠ This indicator is for exits only and does not generate buy/sell entry signals.
For long trades: When an Exit Long signal appears, traders may consider closing or reducing their long positions.
For short trades: When an Exit Short signal appears, traders may consider closing or reducing their short positions.
ATR Settings: Users can adjust the ATR multiplier to fine-tune the signal frequency based on market conditions.
Important Notes
- This indicator does not guarantee future performance—it should be used alongside other analysis methods.
- No financial advice – Always use proper risk management.
- TradingView users who do not read Pine Script can still fully utilize this script thanks to the detailed signal labels and alerts.

MACD+RSI Indicator Moving Average Convergence/Divergence or MACD is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of a stock price. Convergence happens when two moving averages move toward one another, while divergence occurs when the moving averages move away from each other. This indicator also helps traders to know whether the stock is being extensively bought or sold. Its ability to identify and assess short-term price movements makes this indicator quite useful.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator was invented by Gerald Appel in 1979.
Moving Average Convergence/Divergence is calculated using a 12-day EMA and 26-day EMA. It is important to note that both the EMAs are based on closing prices. The convergence and divergence (CD) values have to be calculated first. The CD value is calculated by subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to detect overbought or oversold conditions in the price of that security.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph) on a scale of zero to 100. The indicator was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.
In addition to identifying overbought and oversold securities, the RSI can also indicate securities that may be primed for a trend reversal or a corrective pullback in price. It can signal when to buy and sell. Traditionally, an RSI reading of 70 or above indicates an overbought condition. A reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold condition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By combining them, you can create a MACD/RSI strategy. You can go ahead and search for MACD/RSI strategy on any social platform. It is so powerful that it is the most used indicator in TradingView. It is best for trending market. Our indicator literally let you customize MACD/RSI settings. Explore our indicator by applying to your chart and start trading now!

KC-MACD Entry Master @shrilssThe KC-MACD Entry Master is designed to enhance trading strategies by utilizing Keltner Channels and MACD for dynamic market analysis. This indicator excels in visually identifying market conditions with a sophisticated bar coloring system and an informative MACD Traffic Light feature.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Bar Coloring: The core feature of this indicator is its ability to adjust the color of bars based on their positioning relative to the Keltner Channels and the EMA (Exponential Moving Average). It colors bars lime or red when the closing price is within the Keltner Channels but above or below the EMA, respectively. Additionally, it uses a fuchsia color to indicate breakouts when the price extends beyond the Keltner Channels. This visual aid helps traders quickly identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on market volatility and price action.
- MACD Traffic Light: Positioned at the bottom of the chart, this unique feature displays the histogram color of the MACD, set by default to a 3/10/16 configuration—known as the 3-10 Oscillator. This Traffic Light gives traders an at-a-glance view of the underlying momentum and trend shifts, further aiding in decision-making processes.
- MACD-Based Entry Signals: By calculating the fast and slow moving averages specified by the user, the script determines MACD values and their crossover with a smoothed signal line. Entry points are then highlighted with shapes (e.g., "Buy" or "Sell") plotted on the chart when conditions are met, including alignment with the bar colors for enhanced accuracy.
Parabolic SAR + EMA 200 + MACD SignalsParabolic SAR + EMA 200 + MACD Signals Indicator, a powerful tool designed to help traders identify optimal entry points in the market.

The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines, channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Digital Kahler MACD as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C Digital Kahler MACD
What is Digital Kahler?
From Philipp Kahler's article for www.traders-mag.com, August 2008. "A Classic Indicator in a New Suit: Digital Stochastic"
Digital Indicators
Whenever you study the development of trading systems in particular, you will be struck in an extremely unpleasant way by the seemingly unmotivated indentations and changes in direction of each indicator. An experienced trader can recognise many false signals of the indicator on the basis of his solid background; a stupid trading system usually falls into any trap offered by the unclear indicator course. This is what motivated me to improve even further this and other indicators with the help of a relatively simple procedure. The goal of this development is to be able to use this indicator in a trading system with as few additional conditions as possible. Discretionary traders will likewise be happy about this clear course, which is not nerve-racking and makes concentrating on the essential elements of trading possible.
How Is It Done?
The digital stochastic is a child of the original indicator. We owe a debt of gratitude to George Lane for his idea to design an indicator which describes the position of the current price within the high-low range of the historical price movement. My contribution to this indicator is the changed pattern which improves the quality of the signal without generating too long delays in giving signals. The trick used to generate this “digital” behavior of the indicator. It can be used with most oscillators like RSI or CCI.
First of all, the original is looked at. The indicator always moves between 0 and 100. The precise position of the indicator or its course relative to the trigger line are of no interest to me, I would just like to know whether the indicator is quoted below or above the value 50. This is tantamount to the question of whether the market is just trading above or below the middle of the high-low range of the past few days. If the market trades in the upper half of its high-low range, then the digital stochastic is given the value 1; if the original stochastic is below 50, then the value –1 is given. This leads to a sequence of 1/-1 values – the digital core of the new indicator. These values are subsequently smoothed by means of a short exponential moving average . This way minor false signals are eliminated and the indicator is given its typical form.

█ GKD-C Hodrick–Prescott MACD
What is Hodrick–Prescott filter?
The Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter is a mathematical tool used in macroeconomics to separate a time series into its trend component and its cyclical component. It was developed by economists Robert Hodrick and Edward Prescott in 1980.
The HP filter works by decomposing a time series into two components: a trend component and a cyclical component. The trend component represents the long-term behavior of the time series, while the cyclical component represents the short-term fluctuations around the trend.
The HP filter is based on the assumption that the trend component of a time series varies smoothly over time, while the cyclical component varies more rapidly. The filter uses a mathematical algorithm to estimate the trend component of the time series, and then subtracts the trend from the original time series to obtain the cyclical component.
The HP filter is widely used in macroeconomics to analyze business cycles, as it allows researchers to separate the underlying trend in economic data from the short-term fluctuations. It is also used in finance to analyze asset prices, and in other fields where time series analysis is important.
What is Hodrick–Prescott MACD?
This indicator uses the HP Filter instead of EMA in the general MACD calculation.

1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Zero-Lag MACD as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Zero-Lag MACD
What is Zero-Lag MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA.
This version adds the ability to change the moving average to 60+ different moving averages. This is also Zero-lag which increases the speed at which MACD identifies trends.
