Color RSI MACD Strategy

This strategy trades signals from a MACD indicator that can be analysed in four different modes:

  • Breakdown – trade when the MACD histogram crosses the zero line.
  • MACD Twist – trade when the MACD line changes direction.
  • Signal Twist – trade when the signal line changes direction.
  • MACD Disposition – trade on crossings between the MACD line and the signal line.

Each mode can independently open or close long and short positions using the corresponding flags.

No stop-loss or take-profit levels are used by default.

Details
