Upward Crossover · Instant Strength

Main criterionLONG

Two conditions: MACD crossed above Signal within the last 2 candles (you decide) and in this candle the volatility-divided histogram is above the threshold (0.1 (you decide)). It asks "does it have strength," it doesn't ask "is it rising." If it holds, opens LONG. You set both the threshold and the window yourself.

What is MACD?

The blue MACD line is the difference between the fast and slow averages; the orange Signal is its smoothed version. The histogram is the difference between the two: the moment it crosses zero is the moment MACD crosses Signal. The bot divides the histogram by the coin's own volatility (StdDev ×) so the "strength threshold" says the same thing for every coin.

How do you use it?

Opens an entry on its own. The histogram doesn't grow smoothly for every coin, it bulges and pulls back; this condition ignores the fluctuation, looking only at the magnitude on the decision candle. More flexible, earlier, and more signal-generating than "With Strength Rising."

Which settings does it read?

Two boxes are read: Crossover Window (currently 2) how many candles back the crossover is counted; Strength (StdDev ×) currently goes to the bot as 0.1. In the panel the strength toggle comes OFF by default and the bot receives 0 — at 0, the condition drops to "histogram positive," which is already true right after an upward crossover: effectively only the crossover remains.

Does this condition close the position?

It only approves the entry; even if the condition breaks after the position opens, it doesn't close it. What closes it is your choice: if Profit Lock is on, PNL tracking takes over (while it's on, the Trailing Stop, Take Profit Net, Limit Take Profit Net boxes are locked); if it's off, the numbers you entered in these three are placed as orders on Binance and the position closes from there. DCA Rescuer and Liquidation Shield kick in under their own conditions; and you can always close from the panel with CLOSE or manually from Binance.
