Multi-Timeframe (MTF) MACD Indicator with Color Trend Modes & Anti-Flicker
Overview
This is an optimized, high-performance Multi-Timeframe (MTF) MACD Custom Indicator for MetaTrader 5 (MQL5). It allows you to monitor MACD dynamics from higher timeframes (e.g., H1, H4, D1) directly on your lower timeframe execution chart without chart lag or repainting issues.
Key Features
-
Zero Repaint / Anti-Flicker: Includes an optional strict closed-bar calculation mode ( InpStrictClosed ). It locks higher-timeframe data to confirmed closed bars, eliminating bar-flicker on live ticks.
-
High Performance (Bulk Array Copy): Optimized memory handling using single-pass array copying outside execution loops to prevent CPU lag during backtesting or live execution.
-
Dual Color Modes: Visual confirmation of market bias via two customizable color logic methods.
-
Bilingual Support: Switchable label setups between English and Indonesian.
