BB MACD nrp with Alerts (MT4)
BB MACD (nrp) blends Bollinger Bands context with MACD momentum and adds non‑repainting signals on closed bars. You get trend + volatility in one window, plus alerts for crosses, band breaks and normalizations in MetaTrader 4.
What it shows
- MACD line / signal with BB envelope around momentum.
- nrp signals (on closed candles) for crosses, band exits/returns.
- (Optional) histogram/markers to read surges vs. fades faster.
Trade ideas
- Momentum + volatility: take continuation when MACD crosses up and holds outside the upper BB (mirror for shorts).
- Mean‑reversion pullback: after a strong push, wait for a return inside the band with MACD hooking back.
- Regime filter: stand aside when MACD wobbles inside the mid‑band with flat slope.
- (Optional) Divergence: price prints a new extreme while MACD doesn’t — caution, seek confirmation.
Inputs that matter
- MACD fast/slow/signal — sensitivity of momentum.
- BB period / deviation — volatility envelope.
- Smoothing — steadier lines, fewer whipsaws.
- Alerts — crossovers, band touches/exits/returns.
- Colors/widths — quick visual read.
Suggested usage
- M5–M15: intraday impulses and pullbacks.
- M30–H4: swing continuations after consolidations.
- Daily+: regime filter for portfolios.
