Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

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 choose percent-of-equity, fixed-contract, or risk-based size, an optional take-profit ratio, and a moving-average period labeled for stops. Markers, trade labels, alerts, and debug tables can be toggled. No market or timeframe is specified.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
