MACD True Alerts Indicator

MACD True Alerts Indicator

The MACD True Alerts indicator is an advanced and improved version of the classic MACD available on the MetaTrader 5 platform. It is optimized for superior trend direction analysis, momentum confirmation, and early trend reversal detection.

This upgraded MACD features an additional dynamic line that changes color depending on market conditions:

Green Line → Bullish trend signal

Red Line → Bearish trend signal

This visual enhancement makes trend shifts easier to spot, even for beginner traders.

Unlike the traditional MACD, the MACD True Alerts provides more sensitive movement tracking, making it useful for earlier confirmation of price reversals.

How the MACD True Alerts Indicator Works

The indicator uses:

Two MACD-based lines to measure momentum

Color-coded trend shifts

Zero-line crossovers to filter valid buy/sell signals

The intersection between the two MACD lines indicates a potential shift in market direction. However, the strongest and most reliable signals occur when:

A bullish crossover happens above the zero line

A bearish crossover happens below the zero line

This helps filter out false signals during ranging market conditions.

To increase accuracy, the indicator is best used together with price action, support/resistance, or other technical confluence tools.

How to Trade Using the MACD True Alerts Indicator

The example on the EURUSD M30 chart demonstrates how the indicator is used to confirm a buy setup.

Buy Signal Example

The indicator lines started moving upward, suggesting a potential bullish shift.

The dynamic MACD line changed to green, signaling bullish momentum.

The line also crossed above the zero level, strengthening the trend confirmation.

Price retested a demand zone and closed with a bullish candle, giving the final confluence for entering a long trade.

This synergy of MACD direction + zero-line cross + price action creates a high-quality buy setup.
