Bollinger Band MACD Indicator

The Bollinger Bands MACD indicator (BB MACD) wraps a Bollinger channel around the MACD, built to spot where a trend turns and how strong it is.

A plain MACD shows the gap between a fast and slow moving average. This one adds a midline and an upper/lower band on top of that gap, giving the MACD its own dynamic boundaries. When the MACD drifts inside the channel the trend is weak; when it pushes toward the band edge and flips direction, momentum is shifting. The subwindow marks turns up with green dots and turns down with magenta dots, so a glance at the dots and the bands tells you whether price is ranging or trending.

What it helps you see

• Turning points: a dot color change marks where bullish and bearish momentum swap
• Trend strength: the further the MACD sits from the midline the stronger the move; hugging the midline means chop
• Zero-line context: read it against the zero line to tell a long zone from a short zone

How to use it

• Attach it to the subwindow and read the dots together with the bands to time entries and exits
• For cleaner signals, turn on strict alert mode so a signal only fires after it confirms across the zero line
• Alerts come as popups, sound, email, and phone push, so you get notified without watching the screen
