Smoother Momentum MACD (MT5)

Smoother Momentum MACD blends MACD logic (fast/slow EMA spread + signal) with a smoothed momentum core. You get a clean, low‑lag histogram with zero‑line flips and slope‑based bias for MetaTrader 5.

What it shows

• Momentum‑driven MACD histogram that reduces chop vs classic MACD.
• Signal line (smoothed) and zero line for bull/bear regime.
• (Optional) arrows/alerts — zero flips, histogram ↔ signal crosses, slope changes, volatility squeezes.

Trade ideas

1. Flip → first pullback: after a zero‑line flip up, buy the first shallow red‑to‑green pullback; mirror for shorts.
2. Signal cross + slope: enter on histogram cross above signal when slope rising and price above structure.
3. Trend pullback: with positive regime, use red bars contracting as dip buys; exit on return to zero or slope down.
4. (Optional) Divergence filter: avoid entries on price HH/LL not confirmed by histogram.

Inputs that matter

• Fast/Slow EMA — base spread (responsiveness vs stability).
• Signal length — trigger sensitivity.
• Momentum smoothing — low‑lag filter strength.
• MTF/alerts — crosses, flips, slope, squeezes.
• Colors/widths — quick visual read.

Suggested usage

• M5–M15: flips and signal crosses with structure.
• M30–H4: swing continuations (flip → pullback → resume).
• Daily+: regime/bias map and risk tilt.
