Overview

MACD + DMI [Alorse] enters a long position when the MACD line crosses above its signal line while positive directional movement is greater than negative directional movement. The strategy exits positions when a bearish MACD crossover occurs or when price crosses below a calculated volatility stop line. The overlay script renders directly on the main price chart. Default settings include length and multiplier inputs for the volatility stop, but there are no default stop-loss or take-profit rules.
