Trade The Matric / MACD-RSI Hybrid Candles**"MACD-RSI Hybrid Candles"** is a **custom TradingView Pine Script (v6)** indicator that **replaces your chart’s default candles** with **dynamically colored, intensity-adjusted candles** based on **combined MACD and RSI signals**.
It’s a **visual fusion** of:
- **MACD Histogram** → Momentum & Trend Strength
- **RSI** → Overbought/Oversold & Trend Confirmation
- **Dynamic Transparency** → Visualizes **signal strength**
The result? **At-a-glance confirmation of bullish/bearish phases** — no need to check subcharts.

## OVERVIEW: What This Indicator Does
| Feature | Purpose |
|-------|--------|
| **Replaces price candles** | Entire chart becomes a **live MACD-RSI signal map** |
| **Colors based on dual confirmation** | Only strong when **both** MACD and RSI agree |
| **Transparency = momentum intensity** | Brighter = stronger signal |
| **Labels & Alerts** | Highlights **phase changes** (bullish/bearish shifts) |
---
## USER INPUTS (Customizable)
| Input | Default | Description |
|------|--------|-----------|
| `fastLen` | 12 | MACD Fast EMA |
| `slowLen` | 26 | MACD Slow EMA |
| `signalLen` | 9 | MACD Signal Line |
| `rsiLen` | 14 | RSI Period |
| `showLabels` | true | Show "Bullish Phase" / "Bearish Phase" labels |
> Standard settings — tweak for sensitivity.
---
## CORE CALCULATIONS
### 1. **MACD**
```pinescript
macdLine = ta.ema(close, fastLen) - ta.ema(close, slowLen)
signalLine = ta.ema(macdLine, signalLen)
hist = macdLine - signalLine
```
- `hist > 0` → **Bullish momentum**
- `hist < 0` → **Bearish momentum**
### 2. **RSI**
```pinescript
rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLen)
```
- `rsi > 50` → **Bullish bias**
- `rsi < 50` → **Bearish bias**
---
## DUAL CONFIRMATION LOGIC
| Condition | Meaning |
|--------|--------|
| `bullCond = macdBull and rsiBull` | **MACD hist > 0** AND **RSI > 50** → **Confirmed Bullish** |
| `bearCond = macdBear and rsiBear` | **MACD hist < 0** AND **RSI < 50** → **Confirmed Bearish** |
| Otherwise | **Neutral / Conflicted** |
> Only **strong, aligned signals** get bright colors.
---
## DYNAMIC INTENSITY & TRANSPARENCY (Key Feature)
```pinescript
maxHist = ta.highest(math.abs(hist), 100)
intensity = math.abs(hist) / maxHist
transp = 90 - (intensity * 80)
```
### How It Works:
1. Finds **strongest MACD histogram value** in last 100 bars
2. Compares **current histogram** to that peak → `intensity` (0 to 1)
3. **Transparency scales from 90 (faint) → 10 (bright)**
| Intensity | Transparency | Visual Effect |
|---------|--------------|-------------|
| 0% (weak) | 90 | Almost transparent |
| 50% | 50 | Medium |
| 100% | 10 | **Vivid, bold candle** |
> **Brighter candle = stronger momentum relative to recent history**
---
## CANDLE COLOR LOGIC
| Condition | Candle & Wick Color | Transparency |
|--------|---------------------|------------|
| **Confirmed Bullish** (`bullCond`) | **Lime Green** | Dynamic (10–90) |
| **Confirmed Bearish** (`bearCond`) | **Red** | Dynamic (10–90) |
| **Neutral / Conflicted** | **Gray** | Fixed 80 (faint) |
> **Wicks and borders match body** → full candle takeover
---
## VISUAL OUTPUT
### 1. **Custom Candles**
```pinescript
plotcandle(open, high, low, close, color=barColor, wickcolor=barColor, bordercolor=barColor)
```
- **Replaces default chart candles**

MACD Sniper [trade_lexx]📈 MACD Sniper — Improve your trading strategy with accurate signals!
Introducing the MACD Sniper , an advanced trading indicator designed for a comprehensive analysis of market conditions. This indicator combines MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) with various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, KAMA, HMA, ZLEMA, TEMA, ALMA, DEMA), providing traders with a powerful tool for generating buy and sell signals. It is ideal for traders who need an advantage in detecting changes in trends and market conditions.
🔍 How the signals work
1. Histogram signals:
— A buy signal is generated when the MACD histogram is below zero and begins to grow after the minimum number of falling histogram columns, which are indicated in the indicator menu. This indicates that selling pressure has decreased, the market is oversold and ready for a rebound. The signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "H" under the histogram graph. On the main chart, buy signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "Buy" under candlesticks.
— A sell signal is generated when the MACD histogram is above zero and begins to fall after the minimum number of growing histogram columns, which are indicated in the indicator menu. This indicates that the buying pressure has decreased, the market is overbought and ready for correction. The signals are displayed as red triangles labeled "H" above the histogram graph. On the main chart, the sell signals are displayed as red triangles with the word "Sell" above the candlesticks.
2. Moving Average Crossing Signals (MA):
— A buy signal is generated when the Fast Moving Average (MACD) crosses the Slow Moving Average (Signal Line) from bottom to top. This indicates a possible upward reversal of the market. The signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "MA" under the MACD chart. On the main chart, buy signals are displayed as green triangles labeled "Buy" under candlesticks.
— A sell signal is generated when the Fast Moving Average (MACD) crosses the slow Moving Average (Signal Line) from top to bottom. This indicates a possible downward reversal of the market. The signals are displayed as red triangles labeled "MA" above the MACD chart. On the main chart, the sell signals are displayed as red triangles with the word "Sell" above the candlesticks.
🔧 Signal filtering
— Minimum number of bars between signals
This filter allows the user to set the minimum number of bars that must pass between the generation of two consecutive signals. This helps to avoid frequent false alarms and improves the quality of the generated signals. Setting this parameter allows you to filter out the noise in the market and make the signals more reliable. For example, if the value is set to 5, then a new signal will be generated only after 5 bars have passed since the previous signal.
— "Wait for the opposite signal" mode
In this mode, Buy and Sell signals are generated only after receiving the opposite signal. This means that a buy signal will be generated only after the previous sell signal, and vice versa. This approach adds an additional level of filtering and helps to avoid false positives. This is especially useful in conditions of high market volatility, when false signals often occur.
— RSI filter
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is used for additional filtering of buy and sell signals. The RSI helps determine whether a market is overbought or oversold. The user can set overbought and oversold levels, and signals will be generated only when the RSI is in the specified ranges. For example, a buy signal will be generated only if the RSI is in the range between 10 and 30 (oversold), and a sell signal if the RSI is in the range between 70 and 90 (overbought). This helps to avoid false signals in extreme market conditions.
🔌 Connector Histogram, MA, Combined 🔌
These parameters allow you to connect the indicator to trading strategies and test the signals throughout the trading history. This makes the indicator an even more powerful tool for traders who want to test the effectiveness of their strategies on historical data.
Connector Histogram provides the ability to connect signals based on the MACD histogram to trading strategies.
Connector MA allows you to connect signals based on the intersection of moving averages (MA) of the MACD, which can also be used for automatic trading or strategy testing.
The combined connector combines signals based on both a histogram and the intersection of moving averages, making the analysis more comprehensive and reliable, which is especially useful for traders seeking to improve the quality of their trading decisions.
🔔 Alerts
The indicator provides the ability to set up notifications for buy and sell signals, which allows traders to keep abreast of important market events without having to constantly monitor the chart. Users can set up notifications that will alert them when buy or sell signals appear, helping them respond to market changes in a timely manner and make informed decisions. These notifications can be configured for various types of signals, such as signals based on the MACD histogram, moving average crossings, or all at once, which makes the indicator a more convenient and functional tool for active traders.
🎨 Customizable Appearance
Customize the appearance of the MACD Sniper according to your preferences to make the analysis more convenient and visually pleasing. In the indicator settings section, you can change the colors of the buy and sell signals so that they stand out on the chart and are easily visible. For example, buy signals can be green, and sell signals can be red. These settings allow traders to adapt the indicator to their individual needs, making it more flexible and user-friendly.
🔧 How it works
The MACD Sniper indicator starts by calculating the MACD values and moving averages for a specific period in order to assess market conditions. For this, fast and slow moving averages are used, as well as a signal line, which are calculated based on the set parameters. The indicator then analyzes the MACD histogram to determine whether the difference between the fast and slow moving averages is rising or falling. Based on this analysis, buy and sell signals are generated. Additionally, the indicator uses the RSI filter to filter out false signals in overbought or oversold market conditions. The user can set the minimum number of bars between the signals and the "Wait for the opposite signal" mode for additional filtering. The indicator dynamically adjusts to changes in the market, providing relevant signals in real time.
