These are the codes for the MACD Momentum, created by Barbara Star,from the Feb., 1994 Technical Analysis of Stocks and commodities. It is believe to be a leading indicator and I've created a system based on this indicator.

The idea: Take the difference between Gerald Appel's MACD's histogram and the histogram's value DSP bars ago and smooth it with an Smth bar exponential (or simple) moving average. When this differrence crosses below zero, the tradable is predisposed to go down. When the histogram actually turns negative, go short. When the difference crosses above zero, cover the short trade. And when the histogram actually turns positive, go long. Cover when the difference crosses below zero.

 

 



Code:

Type : Function, Name : McdMo
Inputs:
R(Numeric),
S(Numeric),
Q(NUmeric),
Dsp(Numeric),
Smth(Numeric);

Vars:
Mo(0),
Avg(0),
Diff(0);

Mo=MACD(C,R,S);
Avg=XAverage(MACD(C,R,S),Q);
Diff=Mo-Avg;
McdMo=Average(Diff-Diff[Dsp],Smth);




Notes: This calculates the difference between theMACD histogram and its value DSP bars ago, smooth by an SMTH bars simple moving average.

Type : Function, Name : MacdDiff
Inputs:
R(Numeric),
S(NUmeric),
Q(Numeric);
Vars: Mac(0),
Avg(0);

Mac=MACD(C,R,S);
Avg=Xaverage(MACD(C,R,S),Q);
MACDDiff=Mac-Avg;




Notes: This is the Macd Histogram.

Type : Signal, Name : Macd Momentum
Input:
R(12),
S(26),
Q(9),
Dsp(10),
Smth(3);

Vars:
Mcdif(0),
McdCr(0);

Mcdif=MacdDiff(R,S,Q);{Trigger}
McdCr=McdMo(R,S,Q,Dsp,Smth);{Filter}

Condition1=McdCr<0 and Mcdif crosses below 0;
Condition2=McdCr>0 and Mcdif crosses above 0;
Condition3=McdCr crosses above 0;
Condition4=mcdCr crosses below 0;

If Condition1 then sell 1 contract on close;
If Condition3 then exitshort 1 contract on close;
If Condition2 then buy 1 contract on close;
If Condition4 then exitlong 1 contract on close;
