Hereβs a new, advanced MACD indicator for Tradingview:
Master MACD: Less lag, faster, more responsive to market changes.
Impressive, no?
Youβd think this is the backtest result of some amazing new trading system.
And youβd be wrong.
The truth? This is a modest, stupid-simple automated strategy that ships standard with the TradingView platform.
If youβre currently using Tradingview, you already have it.
A hidden gem in plain sight:

Itβs the βMACDβ Strategy thatβs shipped standard with your TradingViewβ¦
A βRocky Balboaβ of our trading world.
Nobody respects it. Nobody pays attention to it. Nobody ever thought to use it.
They thought it was a joke.
Well⦠the joke is on them.
The backtest result youβve just seen is of MACD Strategy applied to EUR/USD weekly time-frame.
And you know what? Other traders and researchers also reported the amazing results they got with MACD, across MULTIPLE markets, from stocks to Bitcoin (yes, Bitcoin)
For example:
Hereβs a backtest of a MACD strategy applied in the stock marketβ¦ (a quote from that page: βWe ended up with $23,524.15, or a return of 135.24%β).
Hereβs a reddit thread where the author reports his results of MACD applied on Bitcoin. (Summary: MACD beats βbuy and holdβ in terms of returns & drawdown)
You see, when I first read about these backtest results of the modest, seemingless harmless MACD, I was skeptical as hell.
So I decided to run tests on my own. Hundreds of tests. Just like the one youβve seen above.
Once Iβve seen the results with my own two eyes, I became a believer. But thatβs also when I discovered something else:
In this case, the market is in a downtrend (reflected by the 50-period Moving Average crosses below the 200-period Moving Average). And so weβre looking for the price to pull back. And wait for MACD to give us a sell signal.
As you can see, since our Master MACD indicator uses a faster, more adaptive type of moving average, it gives us a sell alert much earlier than the traditional MACD. And so weβre able to enter this sell trade earlier and get more profits.
Hereβs another similar situation where Master MACD gives much faster alert compared to classic MACD:
MACD is incredible, but not without its faultsβ¦
Thatβs why I set out to perfect this powerful indicator.
Iβd love to think that Iβve achieved this almost-impossible task.
I call it the βMaster MACDβ indicator for Tradingview
And it is FASTER, less lagging, and more adaptive to market changesβ¦
Because this new, improved Master MACD reacts FASTER to market changes, youβll no longer miss out on big market moves.
No more jumping late in a trend, just to see the market turn against you.
And it works perfectly for trading trends. It also helps you identify legitimate breakouts. AND it tells you when a market reversal will likely happenβ¦
Hereβs how it works:
The Master MACD indicator incorporates a FASTER, more adaptive kind of moving average β the Hull Moving Average β in its algorithm. And because of this, Master MACD reacts faster to market changes.
That way, it lets you enter the trend with near-perfect timing. It helps you identify explosive breakout moves with greater accuracy. And it spots divergences and market reversals earlier than traditional indicators.
Letβs see it in action. This is a AUD/USD chart, Master MACD plotted on the top panel, Classic MACD on the bottom panel:
Did you also notice that Master MACD gives you a visual alert and prints an arrow, so you can be sure you wonβt miss out on an important trade?
And it also promptly gives you a pop-up and audio alert whenever thereβs a signal.
In addition, you can also choose whether you want these alerts to show up on your main chart. Like this:
So far Iβve told about the faster, more adaptive Hull Moving Average that we use in Master MACDβs algorithm. But did you know that:
You can also choose whichever Moving Average type you want to use in the Master MACD
Yes, this Master MACD indicator gives you the ultimate flexibility to use whichever Moving Average type you like. You can choose from Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average, Linear Weight Moving Average, or Hull Moving Average:
Now, letβs talk about perhaps the most interesting feature of the Master MACD:
You can specify on which crossover situations should Master MACD give an alertβ¦
Just tell the indicator which option you prefer:
+ Show alert whenever crossing of MACD line with the signal line occurs, orβ¦
+ Show alert whenever crossing of MACD line with the zero line occurs, orβ¦
+ Show alert whenever crossing of Signal line with zero line occurs, orβ¦
+ Any combination of the above:
Now let me show youβ¦
How you can use Master MACD to enter a trend with near-perfect timingβ¦
Hereβs the rules Iβd personally use to trade the trends with Master MACD:
ONE: Identify the long-term underlying trend using 50-day and 200-day moving average.
TWO: Use Master MACD to trigger the trade.
For example, look at this chart:
In this example, the market is in the uptrend as the 50-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average.
So now weβre looking for a buy set-up identified by our Master MACD indicator.
And as expected, almost immediately after the Master MACD gives us a buy alert, the market starts to move up aggressively.
Easy trade, isnβt it?
But thatβs just the beginningβ¦
Master MACD is also extremely powerful when it comes to trading breakoutsβ¦
I admit, this is a pretty unorthodox way of using Master MACD. But I think it could be the most powerful way of all. Hereβs how it works:
If the price breaks its 30-day high AND the Master MACD breaks its 30-day high, weβll buy. if the price breaks its 30-day low AND the Master MACD breaks its 30-day low, weβll sell.
To illustrate these rules, letβs look at a chart:
