MACD Dashboard MT5
- Indicators
- Version: 2.30
- Updated: 19 July 2026
- Activations: 10
Multi-currency and multi-timeframe indicator MACD. The dashboard can display both the Traditional (true) MACD and the MACD which is built into MetaTrader.
On the panel you can see the current state of the indicator — the direction of movement of the MACD lines, their intersection and a pop-up window with the indicator chart. In the parameters you can specify any desired pairs-symbols and timeframes. The scanner can also send notifications about lines crossing each other and about lines crossing the Zero level. By clicking on a cell, the given symbol and period opens.
You can also see the divergence (Regular and Hidden) between Price and MACD Line, and the divergence between Price and Histogram.
So, you can easily scan all pairs and symbols for all timeframes to find a cross of the MACD panel main and Signal line or Zero-level.
Hotkey to enable/disable the Popup chart is "C" by default.
Hotkeys to toggle Arrows on the chart '1' and '2' and '3'.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) indicator (or "oscillator") is a collection of three time series calculated from historical price data, most often the closing price. These three series are: the MACD series proper, the "signal" or "average" series, and the "divergence" series which is the difference between the two. The MACD series is the difference between a "fast" (short period) exponential moving average (EMA), and a "slow" (longer period) EMA of the price series. The average series is an EMA of the MACD series itself.
Parameters
MACD- Fast MA period — period for Fast average calculation
- Slow MA period — period for Slow average calculation
- Signal MA period — period for their difference averaging
- Applied price — type of price that is used
- Fast MA Method — smoothing type for Fast average

- Signal MA Method — smoothing type for Signal average. Methods can have one of the following values:
- Simple averaging - SMA;
- Exponential averaging - EMA;
- Smoothed averaging - SMMA;
- Linear-weighted averaging - LWMA;
- Max bars to calculate (0-all bars).

I have been using the MACD indicator for trading for a while now and it works great, especially the divergence.
