Features of MACD 4C Indicator for MT4

Four-Color Histogram for Better Clarity

Unlike the standard MACD’s single-color bars, MACD 4C uses four colors:

Lime – MACD crosses upward (bullish crossover)

Maroon – MACD crosses downward (bearish crossover)

Green – weakening bullish momentum

Red – weakening bearish momentum

This makes it easy to understand market strength or weakness at a glance.

Clear Bullish & Bearish Crossovers

A lime histogram indicates a potential bullish trend beginning, while a maroon bar signals a potential bearish trend starting.

Momentum Strength Detection

Lime/Maroon = strong trend momentum

Green/Red = momentum fading

This helps traders anticipate potential reversals or consolidations.

Improved Visualization Over Standard MACD

The enhanced color system makes it easier to detect changes without analyzing raw data or waiting for a cross line.
