MACRO DIV CONFLUENCE Trading Guide

Last updated: March 31, 2026

The Macro-Divergence Confluence is a composite signaling indicator designed to find global, macro-structure Order Blocks. It generates sniper-like entry signals only when the price tests these major structural zones and a cluster of three distinct oscillators (RSI, WaveTrend, and MFI) simultaneously confirms a momentum divergence.

What does the indicator show?

  • Order Block (OB) Zones: Shaded rectangular areas highlighting significant global supply (Bearish OB) and demand (Bullish OB) levels.
  • Mitigated Lines: Dashed line extensions showing where an Order Block was recently broken or "mitigated" by price.
  • CONF. BUY / SELL Labels: Distinct markers pointing out exact entry bars when the required oscillator confluence triggers inside an Order Block.

Key Settings

  • Macro Swing Length: The lookback period used to identify massive, global pivot highs and lows for drawing the Order Blocks.
  • Req. Confluence (1-3): Strictness filter. Dictates how many of the 3 oscillators (RSI, WT, MFI) must hook in the same direction to confirm the signal.
  • RSI / WaveTrend / MFI Lengths: Independent period settings to fine-tune the internal momentum mechanics.

How to use Strategy Parameters (Condition Source)

Within the Strategy Tester module, you can leverage both the strict signals and the zones.

1. Confluence Signals

  • Macro Confluence BUY / SELL — Triggers true strictly on the exact bar when price is anchored in a Macro OB and the requested number of oscillators diverge and hook in the trend direction.

Strategy Example: Open a long position simply when Macro Confluence BUY is_true.

2. Macro Zones

  • Macro Bull / Bear OB Zone — The physical boundaries of the active supply/demand zone. Used with spatial operators.

Strategy Example: To prepare an early entry or scale in, use: Price enters Macro Bull OB Zone.


⚠️ Important Note on Signal Parity

Because moving averages with "infinite memory" (such as RMA, EMA, ATR, RSI) calculate their values iteratively over time, drawing from 1000 candles (Backend Worker) will result in a microscopic mathematical deviation (usually < 0.00001) compared to drawing from 3000+ candles (Visual Chart).

In extremely rare boundary conditions (where the price variance falls exactly on this microscopic threshold), the backend Strategy Tester or Alarms may execute a signal that doesn't visually display on your chart, or vice versa. This is a normal and mathematically expected effect of float-point drift when hunting for ultra-precise macro divergences at large lookback depths.
