concept: statistical relevance filtering
the indicator introduces a novel approach by considering volume as a critical factor in validating price movements. in illiquid markets, price fluctuations may occur without substantial backing. macd institutional employs an analysis buffer (inpbuffersize) that updates only when the volume of a tick surpasses its volume moving average (volume sma). this selective data processing preserves institutional 'memory', resulting in a macd that responds to genuine buying and selling pressure from significant market participants.
key features
- dynamic volume filtering: candlesticks with above-average volume (inpmavolumeperiod) exclusively contribute to ema calculations.
- false signal reduction: by excluding low-volume noise, signal lines and macd exhibit clearer trends and crossovers with enhanced success probability.
- custom ema calculation: features a proprietary method for computing the exponential moving average using solely the filtered data window.
- fully adjustable parameters: traders can customize volume period, analysis buffer size, and classic macd periods to suit their strategies.
input parameters
- volume averaging period: defines the volume analysis window to identify 'relevant activity'.
- n values in the array (buffer size): determines the size of the filtered price reconstruction window.
- macd fast/slow ema: standard periods for calculating the macd spread.
- macd signal period: length of the sma serving as a trigger line.
