MACD ZeroLag

Description

This is my MACD Zero Lag with a much faster signal. This Indicator uses the Double EMA instead of a traditional EMA for the Signals.

You can take a look at the difference by comparing it with my other Classic MACD Multicolors. Example in the picture Bellow.

 

09/July/2022 The Indicator was updated, applying a correction on the histogram to prevent, to paint two different colors.

 

11/Jully/2022 Another little update was done to correct the output.

Hello,

I'm trying to improve this great indicator you released on here. I keep running into a brick wall

My aim is to add this indicator (for a higher timeframe) onto the current chart (M5).

I want to use it as a Divergence indicator. I have seen the other two you uploaded and have altered those ones, but this seems more promising.

Please help.
