MACD Engine

The MACD Engine is the core computational logic of the suite, normalizing the MACD values and signal line for all other components (signals, divergences, histogram, etc.). It visualizes the MACD oscillator using a normalized range from -100 to +100 and enables gradient-based color mapping to enhance trend clarity.

MACD Line: Rendered with dynamic coloring:

HeatMap mode: Color intensity grows as values reach extreme ranges (-100/+100)

Rising/Falling mode: Color changes based on histogram slope.

Overbought/Oversold Zones

• OB zone: above +100

• OS zone: below -100

MACD Parameters

• Source – Default: close. Defines the price type to calculate MACD on.

• Fast Length – Default: 10. Short-term MA period.

• Slow Length – Default: 20. Long-term MA period.

• Signal Smoothing – Default: 9. Period used to smooth the signal line.

• Oscillator MA Type – EMA or SMA. Defines moving average type for MACD itself.

• Signal Line MA Type – EMA or SMA. Defines moving average type for the signal line.
