Quantora Multi-Timeframe MACD Dashboard MT5 - Professional MACD Momentum Analysis - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Quantora Multi-Timeframe MACD Dashboard MT5 is a professional multi-timeframe momentum and trend analysis indicator for MetaTrader 5.

The indicator simultaneously analyzes 7 timeframes — M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4 and D1 using the standard MACD calculation.

Default configuration:

                                                    Fast EMA      = 12
Slow EMA      = 26
Signal Period = 9

For every timeframe, the dashboard displays the MACD Main value, Signal value, Histogram, Momentum State and individual Score.

All timeframe results are then combined into an Overall MACD Bias and a Multi-Timeframe Momentum Score ranging from -14 to +14.

This makes it possible to monitor short-, medium- and higher-timeframe MACD conditions from a single chart.

Multi-Timeframe MACD Analysis

The indicator calculates MACD independently for:

                                                    M1
M5
M15
M30
H1
H4
D1

Each timeframe therefore has its own MACD Main, Signal and Histogram values.

Example:

                                                    TIMEFRAME    MACD MAIN    SIGNAL      HISTOGRAM     STATUS

M1           0.00056      0.00032      0.00024      STRONG BULLISH
M5           0.00125      0.00098      0.00027      STRONG BULLISH
M15          0.00038      0.00045     -0.00007      BEARISH
M30         -0.00035     -0.00018     -0.00017      STRONG BEARISH
H1          -0.00128     -0.00088     -0.00040      STRONG BEARISH
H4          -0.00185     -0.00120     -0.00065      STRONG BEARISH
D1           0.00062      0.00010      0.00052      STRONG BULLISH

MACD Histogram

The Histogram is calculated as:

                                                    Histogram = MACD Main - Signal

Therefore:

                                                    Histogram > 0 → Positive momentum relationship
Histogram < 0 → Negative momentum relationship

The dashboard also counts the number of positive and negative histogram readings across all seven timeframes.

For example:

                                                    POSITIVE HISTOGRAMS: 4
NEGATIVE HISTOGRAMS: 3

Momentum Classification

STRONG BULLISH

                                                    MACD Main > Signal
Histogram > 0
MACD Main > 0

Score:

                                                    +2

BULLISH

                                                    MACD Main > Signal
Histogram > 0
MACD Main <= 0

Score:

                                                    +1

NEUTRAL

Conditions that do not meet the defined bullish or bearish classifications receive:

                                                    0

BEARISH

                                                    MACD Main < Signal
Histogram < 0
MACD Main >= 0

Score:

                                                    -1

STRONG BEARISH

                                                    MACD Main < Signal
Histogram < 0
MACD Main < 0

Score:

                                                    -2

Multi-Timeframe Momentum Score

Each of the seven timeframes contributes between -2 and +2 points.

Therefore, the complete score range is:

                                                    Minimum = -14
Maximum = +14

Example:

                                                    M1      +2
M5      +1
M15      0
M30     -1
H1      -2
H4      -2
D1      +2

TOTAL SCORE = 0

This provides a numerical summary of MACD alignment across multiple timeframes.

Overall MACD Bias

The total Momentum Score is converted into an Overall MACD Bias.

The current version uses:

                                                    +8 to +14     STRONG BULLISH
+3 to +7      BULLISH
-2 to +2      NEUTRAL
-3 to -7      BEARISH
-8 to -14     STRONG BEARISH

Example:

                                                    MOMENTUM SCORE: +9 / 14

OVERALL MACD BIAS:
STRONG BULLISH

The Overall Bias is an analytical summary of the seven MACD readings rather than a direct trading signal.

Momentum Counters

The dashboard also displays the number of timeframes currently classified in each state.

Example:

                                                    STRONG BULLISH     2
BULLISH            1
NEUTRAL            1
BEARISH            1
STRONG BEARISH     2

This provides additional context behind the overall Momentum Score.

Configurable MACD Settings

Default parameters:

                                                    Fast EMA       = 12
Slow EMA       = 26
Signal Period  = 9

These parameters can be changed from the indicator inputs.

For example:

                                                    Fast EMA       = 8
Slow EMA       = 21
Signal Period  = 5

The Slow EMA period must be greater than the Fast EMA period.

Live Market Information

The dashboard also displays current market information for the chart symbol:

                                                    SYMBOL       EURUSD
BID          1.08940
ASK          1.08955
SPREAD       1.5 points

This allows current trading conditions to be monitored together with the MACD analysis.

Automatic Updates

The default dashboard update interval is:

                                                    2 seconds

The indicator automatically recalculates the seven MACD readings and updates the dashboard while it is running.

Why Multi-Timeframe MACD?

MACD conditions can vary significantly between timeframes.

For example:

                                                    M1      STRONG BULLISH
M5      BULLISH
M15     NEUTRAL
M30     BEARISH
H1      STRONG BEARISH
H4      STRONG BEARISH
D1      STRONG BULLISH

A trader analyzing only one timeframe may therefore see a very different momentum picture from the broader market.

Quantora Multi-Timeframe MACD Dashboard brings all seven readings together in one interface.

Installation

Place:

Quantora Multi-Timeframe MACD Dashboard MT5.mq5

inside:

MQL5 → Indicators

Compile the source file using MetaEditor.

Then attach Quantora Multi-Timeframe MACD Dashboard MT5 to any MetaTrader 5 chart.

The dashboard will automatically begin analyzing the current symbol across all seven supported timeframes.

Important Notes

MACD calculations use closing prices and the current forming candle. Values and classifications can therefore change before a candle closes.

A positive MACD Histogram does not guarantee that price will rise, and a negative Histogram does not guarantee that price will fall.

STRONG BULLISH, BULLISH, NEUTRAL, BEARISH and STRONG BEARISH represent the indicator's defined MACD classification model only.

The indicator does not open trades, close positions, modify orders, set Stop Loss or Take Profit, or guarantee future market direction.

It is designed for market monitoring and analytical purposes only.
