MACD Divergence TrendLine

Recommended Posts

to keep things in order,

you should post your code in the stochastic-divergence thread

 

:security:

 

Potatoes with potatoes

 

Tomatoes with tomatoes...

I'd be interested in the ability to add a moving average or linear moving average to define trend, and only show divergences in the direction of the trend.

 

Greatly cuts down on the signals... but increases the probability of continuation.

Hi Snowbird

 

Would U mind 2 make a rough of your idea and post it ?

Two images

 

1st shows MacD divergences per the indicator in this thread

 

2nd shows MacD divergences filtered using TAMs moving trend (linear regression mov avg?)

 

basically divergences would only be shown in the direction of the moving average.

Hi snowbird

 

Smart idea 2 take position only in the direction of the trend

 

Try this

 

or post the code of your trend indicator

 

 
condition98 = whatever 2 define the way of the trend U want ; // in your ex it should B Trend Dn
condition99 = The opposite of condition 98;

if condition98 then begin
Code divergence up
end;

if condition99 then begin
Code divergence dn
end;

AAA/TAMS or anyone else knowledgeable... how would I got about adding an alert feature to this indicator?

 

press the [F1] key

and look up the ALERT keyword in the dictionary.

I'm not sure how to translate that to this specific code. I used other indicators with alerts already coded in as reference but it doesn't appear to work.

 

Got any other suggestions?

Hi AAA and thanks for sharing your indicators. I imported your indicator in Multicharts and plotted in to a 1-Minute chart. Maybe I use it in a bad way but, as you can see in the attached image, I found two divergences not displayed by the indicator. See the red lines inside the two red rectangles. Do I have to use it in a different type of char? (i.e. 5 min chart)

I'd like to use it even in a tick chart but it doesn't look good. Do you have any idea? Thanks anyway for your job.

do you see the market reverse after your "divergence"?

Hi Tams. I'm not a "divergence guru" and I still have to learn a lot about this. But in my divergences I see a little market reverse, not big but almost similar to those related to the blue lines which are automatically displayed by the indicator. I used it with default values:

 

FastLength: 12

SlowLength: 26

Length: 20

LeftStrength: 3

RightStrength: 3

 

Anyway, does anybody use this indicator with the same values cited above? Or has made some changes to the code?

 

Cheers

looks like the indicator is more intelligent than your "eye ball"...

I would not call those "little market reverse". May retrace, but definitely not reverse.

as far as the code's algorithm is concerned, it has "rejected" those incidences as "divergences".

Ciao clochardo

 

I found two divergences not displayed by the indicator

 

Algo is similar in both indic

So we should have same divergences

Have U tweaked both with same values ?

Is anyone else have found this prblem ?

 

Do I have to use it in a different type of char? (i.e. 5 min chart)

it should work in all resolution

 

I'd like to use it even in a tick chart but it doesn't look good.

What do U mean ?

Like divergences everywhere ?

 

I'm not a "divergence guru" and I still have to learn a lot about this.

 

Hope these charts helps U 2 B a future "Divergence Guru" ;=)

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
