Impulse MACD Overview

This indicator uses a double filter itself to judge the trend and generate the trade signal. It has a moving average line and histogram bars to keep the filtering process smooth.

For a bullish trend signal, the MACD moving average moves above its zero parameter and the MACD bars closes above the moving average line with a rising pattern.

On the other hand, for a bearish trend signal, the bars close below the moving average line when the line itself crosses below the zero levels carrying a negative value already.
