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,
can I get your email for Enquires about this Indicator please.
Thanks
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.
