Multi-Timeframe MACD (Titan_Multi_MACD)
Indicator Overview
Displaying Multi-Timeframe MACD
The Multi-Timeframe MACD indicator can display the MACD not only for the chart's timeframe but also from longer timeframes. This indicator also shows the histogram of the difference between the MACD and its signal line, which is not available in the default MACD on MT4 and MT5.
Additionally, the histogram changes color based on the increase or decrease from the previous bar, allowing for the detection of subtle changes.

What is MACD?
MACD, or Moving Average Convergence Divergence, is an indicator that displays the difference between a short-term EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and a long-term EMA on a subchart. It is common to overlay the MACD with a signal line, which is the moving average of the MACD.
Unlike the default MACD in MT4 and MT5, this indicator displays the difference between the MACD and the signal as a histogram. The histogram is shown in four different colors based on whether it is positive or negative and increasing or decreasing, allowing for detailed tracking of changes between the MACD and the signal line.
There are fundamentally two trading signals with MACD:
MACD Buy/Sell Signals #1: MACD and Signal Crossover
A sell signal is generated when the MACD crosses below the signal line above zero, and a buy signal is generated when the MACD crosses above the signal line below zero.
【Example of MACD and Signal Crossover】
MACD Buy and Sell Signals #2: MACD and Zero Crossover
A buy signal occurs when the MACD crosses above zero, and a sell signal occurs when it crosses below zero. This corresponds to a golden cross or death cross in EMA.
