MACD Crossed Above Signal · Plain

Main criterionLONG

Single condition: the histogram turned from red to green within the last 1 candle (you decide). Strength isn't asked, magnitude isn't asked, increase isn't asked. If it holds, opens LONG. You set this window (candle count) 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; it's MACD's earliest and most signal-generating form — it triggers very often sideways. Add a filter alongside it to reduce the signal count: an RSI level, a VWAP gate, EMA position, or a BTC gate.

Which settings does it read?

The only box read is the Crossover Window (currently 1): how many candles back the turn is counted. 1 = exactly this candle. The Strength (StdDev ×) box is not read in this condition — whatever you enter, the result doesn't change.

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.
