MACD_trendtrader

This is my modified macd indicator. It uses moving averages to determine the trend of the market. It is best used on lower time frames such as 5min and 15min. I found it useful especially with Forex pairs and also traditional markets.
This indicator will help you get in at a pullback in a trending market.

RED background tells you the trend is down. A possible entry happens when you get a sell signal from the macd oscillator above the 0 line.
GREEN background tells you the trend is up. A possible entry happens when you get a buy signal from the macd oscillator below the 0 line.
