FX5 MACD Divergence Indicator

MACD divergence is one of the strongest signals in technical analysis. It is not always convenient to track it manually, especially when trading many instruments or on small timeframes. The FX5 MACD Divergence indicator will signal the appearance of a divergence between price and MACD and draw it on the chart.

Divergence can be used as an additional signal filter in your trading strategy.

The archive contains 2 versions:
1.0 - the signal appears earlier, but redrawing is possible.
1.1 - the signal appears 1 candle later, but there is no redrawing.
Which version is better depends on the trading timeframe. On 4-hour and daily charts, you can safely use 1.0 with earlier signals, while on small intervals (M5, M15), version 1.1 is more suitable.
