    Hi

    I’m still quite new to the world of prorealtime and was hoping someone could help. I’m trying to code a strategy based on macd divergence. The default one does not correspond to what I was expecting.  If you see attached I was expecting bars to show up on corresponding to the circles – both sell signals. Is there a bespoke code for macd divergence?

    You can search this forum for the words DIVERGENCE, DIVERGENCES or MACD. You’ll find some, but I fear none will match what your eyes SEE on the chart.

    Divergences can be programmed based on some lookback periods, say 20 or 30 etc…, they will all perform differently despite the same code is running.

    I don’t know, as I can’t convert that language. Request a conversion at https://www.prorealcode.com/free-code-conversion/.

    I’m attaching here a SMACD Divergence indicator you can use. Just add it to your price chart or system code and adapt the parameter values for your timeframe and index.

    please do not attach HIDDEN CODE. This forum is devoted to sharing knowledge. Thank you 🙂

    As I’ve seen loads of strategies on this forum that include hidden indicators I thought it was ok.
    But duly noted, I will not be sharing any indicators with hidden code even though it may be a very useful trading tool like this SMACD divergence indicator.
