MACD crossing over the 0 line is simply an MA crossover EA. Plenty of those hanging around here.

Thanks Ronald


Unfortunatily , these are not the same.


i just insert the histogram and the moving averages lines (same setting), the crossing is not at the same time or price .



Still looking for Histogram EA.

MACD using Exponential Moving Averages if I remember properly.

Thaks a gain Ronald

I just tried the Exponential Moving Averages but also it is not the same as Histogram .

I'd have a second look at that (attached)

MA settings:
Period 5
Mode: Exponential
Price: Close

Period: 34
Mode: Exponential
Price: Close

MACD Settings:
Fast: 5
Slow: 34
Signal: 1
Price: Close

You'll notice in the picture attached that when the res line is below the blue line, the MACD is negative. When the red line is above the blue line, the MACD is positive.

Aha,

Here the miss-understand , in your attached chart the white vertical lines are not histogram but only macd, and the red dot line is the signal line. histogram arise when these ( white) line cross the signal red line.

see my attached chart you will find in the lower window the histogram and in the middle window same as yours.

Now follow in the middle window the cross between the red dot ( signal line) and the macd ( white vertical lines ) you will find when they cross they form the histogram in the lower window. and there are no relation to the EMA.

This would be a much better EA if it would close the position when the histogram makes a lower low compared to the previous tick instead of waiting for it to go below the zero line.

I played around with it with setting 5,9,3 on a daily setting and it is profitable when you look back the past one year. (Started the back-test with $1000 and half way through the year it was up $9000 only trading 0.5 lots, ended taking some loss trades around august as you know due to the crash and all and the fact that this EA goes only long)

I also found that it is not going short for me only taking long positions without placing a stop so its a bit risky when it comes to MM.

Would someone be able to either add the function so it can go short as well as long and a separate EA taking profits or losses when histogram makes a lower low or higher high if going short.

I have a few ideas for strategies if anyone would like to write them free of charge.
