Introduction to the COG MACD Trend Indicator

The COG MACD Trend is a forex trend indicator based on popular Center of Gravity and Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicators.

That gauge gives an interesting trend-following channel wrapped around the MACD bars.

It’s really easy to follow the signals provided by the COG MACD indicator:

The trend is considered to be bullish (uptrend) when the channel is sloping up and MACD bars turn olive color.
The trend is considered to be bearish (downtrend) when the channel is sloping down and MACD bars turn tomato color.

It fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs.

The indicator is displayed in a separate window placed just below the main trading chart.

The default settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.

Bottom Line

The COG MACD Trend indicator is well worth adding to your trading collection but remember about having realistic expectations.

Its performance will vary significantly depending on market conditions. Feel free to develop your own trading system based around it.
