// PF TA-isolate probe 03 — MACD(12, 26, 9) signal cross
//
// Purpose: isolate ta.macd(close, 12, 26, 9). MACD = EMA(12) - EMA(26); signal
// = EMA(macd, 9). Validates EMA chain (depth 2) and tuple-return dispatch.
// Distinct from existing validation/01-macd-histogram probe by trade shape
// (this one uses crossover/crossunder of macd vs signal directly; that one uses
// histogram-zero crossings).
//
// Targets gap probe `validation/37-regex-string-filter` MACD path.

Overview
MACD Signal Cross enters long when the MACD line crosses above the signal line and short when it crosses below, reversing the position each time. It has no inputs, no stop loss and no take profit. The script is written as a test of the MACD calculation and plots nothing itself beyond the strategy output in a separate pane.
- MACD 12, 26, 9 line and signal crossover
- Long and short reversal entries
- No adjustable inputs
- Separate pane strategy
