Overview
Broken MACD Strategy enters a long position when the MACD line crosses above the signal line while the current bar close is higher than the previous bar close, and exits on a MACD crossunder. Designed as an example script for PineLint auditing, it intentionally lacks stop-loss protections and repaints live signals due to lower-timeframe security requests.

Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.

2 EMA/SMA + RSI Strategy [Alorse] combines three configurable moving averages with a short-period Relative Strength Index filter. It plots fast, slow, and trend moving averages on the price chart. Long entries trigger when the fast moving average is above the
This strategy plots on the price chart and opens long or short positions when a weighted score from MACD, Stochastic RSI, RSI, Supertrend and a moving-average crossover exceeds a user-set trigger. Each component has its own weight and candle delay. Entries can
This strategy combines Arnaud Legoux Moving Average percentage price change calculations with an adaptive Gaussian Moving Average to generate trend-following signals. Long and short entries are triggered when the ALMA change calculation crosses above or below
This overlay strategy is built around MACD inputs for a fast average, a slow average, and a signal line. Comments say the script keeps MACD values available and can draw a histogram and zero line in a separate pane, with an optional overlay on price. Settings
255 EMA Strategy combines an exponential moving average with Average True Range bands and standard MACD crossovers to generate entry signals. Drawn directly on the price chart, it plots the central 255 EMA along with upper and lower volatility envelopes. Trade
This overlay strategy combines a machine-learning distance model with a MACD oscillator to open trades on the price chart. It compares recent history using cosine similarity or Euclidean and Lorentzian distance, then filters direction with selectable moving-av
