Dual Timeframe MACD on One Chart
KT Dual MACD Overlay combines a fast MACD from the active chart with a slower MACD from a higher timeframe and displays both directly over price. This brings short-term momentum and the broader trend direction into one coordinated view.
Blue and orange vertical lines highlight the start of bullish and bearish phases, while additional MACD crossovers help identify continuation opportunities as momentum develops.
Follow Primary and Continuation Signals
The signal workflow makes each stage easy to recognize:
- Primary Buy: A blue vertical line marks the beginning of a bullish phase.
- Add-on Buy: The fast MACD crosses above its signal line while the slow MACD supports the broader bullish direction.
- Primary Sell: An orange vertical line marks the beginning of a bearish phase.
- Add-on Sell: The fast MACD crosses below its signal line while the slow MACD supports the broader bearish direction.
The fast MACD provides responsive timing, while the higher timeframe MACD keeps the current chart connected to the wider market movement. Together they create a clear workflow for trend following, momentum analysis and entry timing.
Adapt the View to Your Trading Style
The higher timeframe multiplier lets you pair the active chart with a broader period that suits your approach. For example, an M1 chart with a multiplier of 5 adds M5 context, an M5 chart with a multiplier of 3 adds M15 context, and an H1 chart with a multiplier of 4 adds H4 context.
Adjustable MACD periods, signal settings and smoothing controls make the indicator suitable for scalping, intraday analysis and swing trading. Both MACD views remain on the price chart, so momentum changes and higher timeframe alignment can be read without switching between charts.
Settings and Alerts
KT Dual MACD Overlay provides practical controls for the calculation, display and notification workflow:
- Fast MACD controls: Configure the responsive MACD used for current timeframe timing.
- Higher timeframe controls: Set the slower MACD and timeframe multiplier for broader trend context.
- Smoothing: Refine the fast MACD display for a cleaner reading of momentum transitions.
- Three alert events: Receive notifications for a main trend change, a fast MACD crossover or a higher timeframe MACD crossover.
- Alert methods: Use popup, sound, email and mobile push notifications.
With two coordinated MACD calculations, visible trend lines and flexible alerts, the indicator offers a focused way to read momentum and trend direction from a single chart.
