NORMALISED GAUSSIAN MACD HEIKIN ASHI Trading Guide

The Normalised Gaussian MACD Heikin Ashi indicator transforms MACD into a normalized oscillator and then applies Heikin-Ashi style smoothing. The result is a cleaner momentum view with reversal arrows, swing states, and zero-line trend context.

What does the indicator show?

• Normalized MACD and Signal Lines: Smoothed momentum lines scaled for easier comparison across symbols.
• Heikin-Ashi Momentum Candles: Synthetic candles that reduce noise in the MACD movement.
• Histogram: Difference between MACD and signal, colored by momentum state.
• Reversal and Swing Markers: Arrows and events for overextended turns and momentum swings.

Key Settings

• Fast Length and Slow Length: Define the MACD impulse calculation.
• Source: Selects which price source feeds the MACD engine.
• MACD Smoothing Length and Signal Smoothing: Control the Gaussian-style smoothing and signal response.
• Outer Reversal Level and Inner Zone Level: Set the oscillator thresholds used for reversal and swing detection.
• Show Heikin Ashi Candles: Toggles the smoothed momentum candle display.

How to use Strategy Parameters (Condition Source)

Within the Strategy Tester module, this indicator can provide both trend state and precise momentum reversal events.

1. Momentum Values

• macd, signal, and hist - Core normalized MACD values.
• haOpen and haClose - Heikin-Ashi momentum candle values.
• gmacdBullish and gmacdBearish - Directional state flags.

Strategy Example: Enter Long when macd crosses_above signal and gmacdBullish is true to require both crossover and state confirmation.

2. Reversal and Swing Events

• bullishReversal and bearishReversal - Reversal events from extended oscillator zones.
• bullishSwing and bearishSwing - Momentum swing changes.
• histogramBullish and histogramBearish - Histogram direction states.

Strategy Example: Use bearishReversal is true as a take-profit or exit condition for open Long trades after strong upside momentum.
