MACD Crossfire

MACD Crossfire – Tactical MACD with Risk Intel & HUD

Next-gen MACD with 8-color gradient histogram, composite risk scoring, volume-weighted divergence detection, signal quality rating (★★★★★), and session-aware tactical HUD.

Full Description

🎯 What is MACD Crossfire?

MACD Crossfire is a professional-grade MACD indicator that transforms the classic MACD into a complete tactical intelligence system. It goes far beyond traditional crossover signals — combining momentum acceleration analysis, composite risk scoring, volume-weighted divergence detection, and a real-time tactical dashboard in one powerful subwindow.

Built for traders who demand more information with less noise.

🔥 Key Features

📊 8-Color Gradient Histogram

• Rising positive (bright green), Falling positive (dark green)
• Falling negative (bright red), Rising negative (dark red)
• 4 additional risk overlay colors (Gold → Orange → OrangeRed → DarkRed) that visually warn you when risk levels are elevated

⭐ Signal Quality Rating (0-5 Stars) Every crossover signal is rated based on 5 factors:

1. Histogram momentum direction alignment
2. ATR volatility health (enough room to move)
3. Trend freshness (not exhausted)
4. Momentum acceleration support (2nd derivative)
5. Volume above average confirmation

Set a minimum quality filter to only display high-conviction signals and eliminate noise.

🧠 Momentum Acceleration (2nd Derivative) Detects momentum shifts BEFORE they happen by analyzing the acceleration of the MACD histogram. See if momentum is accelerating or decelerating in real-time on the dashboard.

🛡️ Composite Risk Analysis (0-100%) A unique risk scoring engine that combines 4 weighted components:

• Volatility Score (30%) — Normalized ATR vs. average
• Trend Persistence (25%) — How exhausted is the current trend?
• Momentum Score (25%) — Histogram velocity changes
• Drawdown Score (20%) — Local price range compression

Risk levels are visually overlaid on the histogram and displayed on the HUD:

• 🟢 Low Risk | 🟡 Medium | 🟠 Elevated | 🔴 High | ⛔ EXTREME

📡 Volume-Weighted Divergence Detection Automatically detects bullish and bearish divergences between price and MACD histogram, filtered by volume confirmation. Draws connecting trend lines and marks divergence points with customizable arrows.

🖥️ Tactical HUD Dashboard A real-time information panel showing:

• Current time (GMT) and trading session (Asia/London/New York with color coding)
• Account name and indicator uptime
• Current risk level with percentage
