Including additional signal arrows on the chart to support the MACD signals on the panel.
Consists of 5 scanning modes:
- Lines Trend. If MACD Line above Signal Line then the matrix box color is Blue. And conversely if MACD Line below Signal Line then the color is Red.
- Upper/Lower Level 0. If MACD Line and Signal Line is above level 0 then the matrix box color is Blue. And if MACD line and Signal line is below level 0 then the color is Red.
- Upper/Lower Level 0 & Lines Trend. This is the combination of the previous mode 1 and mode 2. If MACD Line above Signal Line and the MACD Line and Signal Line is above level 0 then the matrix box color is Blue. And if MACD Line below Signal Line and the MACD Line and Signal Line is below level 0 then the color is Red.
- Crossover Lines. This is the cross up/down between the two lines of MACD. If the current MACD Line is above Signal Line and the previous MACD Line is below Signal Line then the matrix box color is Blue. And if the current MACD Line is below Signal Line and the previous MACD Line is above Signal Line then the color is Red.
- Crossover Level 0. Similar with Mode 4. But this is the cross over up/down the level 0. If the signal line cross up level 0 then the matrix box color is Blue and if cross down level 0, the color is Red.
The color Blue/Red above is adjustable thru the parameter input. You can change the color as your desire.

How the Alerts work
The indicator will look for symbols that have the most total signals in the same direction and more than ' Minimum Total TFs to alert/symbol'. If more than one symbol is found with the same total signal's strength, the indicator will look for the symbol with the least opposite signals direction. Otherwise, it will send alert and drawing stars highlight on the matrix. If more than 1 symbol is still found, the indicator will look for the symbol with the most recent update.
It means that the symbol with stars highlight on the matrix is the most potential symbol based on the selected MACD Scan Mode.
Signal Arrows
The Signal Arrows are drawn on the current chart. No repaint and No lagging. This is an additional feature of MACDScanner. In the hope, it can help more for trader to gain profits. The arrows work based on RSI indicator. It means this can be interpreted as the oversold/overbought signals. Regarding signal usage depends on the MACDScanner Mode currently used and the trading strategy. It can be used as an exit point and also as an entry point as well.
For examples:
1. Scan Mode: Crossover Level 0 and you make a BUY entry when you get BUY alert from the scanner. Then you can exit when you find sell arrow on the candle. Or you can use the arrows to start to trail your position on the certain price level.
2. Scan Mode: Trend Lines and you get BUY alerts from the scanner on timeframes: M15,H1,H4. Then you can wait for BUY arrow on the lower timeframe, let's say timeframe M5 or M15, to send Order Buy.
The Main function of MACDScanner Indicator is to provide MACD signals matrix on the panel. In case, you don't want to use the arrow signals, you can hide from the chart. Parameter input is available to do it.
