3 The Super MACD MTF Indicators let you track the MACD and MACD Differential across 5 different timeframes, interval periods, and instruments all from just one chart! Each row of dots corresponds to a different DataStream, and are color-coded based on Stochastic signals and trend conditions. The Super MACD MTF Indicator Package includes: Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 2

4 Choose both the timeframe and instrument for each of the 5 DataStreams, unlocking new possibilities and methods of trading and chart analysis. While some traders are familiar with MTF Indicators, only our versions have the ability to be used as Multi-Interval and Multi-Instrument Indicators as well! Some Indicators are trend-based, some are signal-based, and some are both! That is why we designed the Super MACD MTF Indicator to display the colorcoded trend at all times, unless a special signal is generated. Special signals always take priority and are plotted on top so that you won't miss them. Each MTF Indicator is designed to plot as 5 rows of dots, where each row corresponds to a specific DataStream. The row on the top is the smallest timeframe (DataStream #1) and the row on the bottom is the largest timeframe (DataStream #5). If you're like most traders, you waste a large portion of your time by constantly switching back and forth between charts in order to check the different timeframes and instruments. Our MTF Indicators will save you from the constant clicking and can make your trading routine more organized and less stressful Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 3

5 Having two or more charts open with the same Indicators on each is a drain on PC resources. Using our MTF Indicators reduces the amount of calculations, which in turn provides a speed boost over the other methods of MTF chart analysis. We take color-coding to the next level by giving you full control over the color settings for all signals and trend conditions. Each trader has unique color preferences (and those with color blindness struggle with the common greens and reds), so we enable you to customize everything to your specific needs Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 4

6 Many of the most successful traders rely on monitoring several timeframes at once, from the weekly down to the 1 minute. They do this because using only one timeframe causes most traders to become lost in the "noise" of random price movements resulting in losing trades and overthinking every decision. For instance, the trend on a 30 minute chart may be much different than the trend on a 5 minute or 120 minute chart. By tracking multiple timeframes at once, you'll gain a clearer perspective of the trend and will always know when multiple timeframes are in harmony or disagreement. That said, the Super MACD MTF Indicator is capable of much more than just "Multiple Time Frame" functionality. It allows for new methods of trading and chart analysis that have never been possible until now! Read on to Learn More about each type! Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 5

7 The standard method of MTF analysis is to use a different timeframe for each DataStream. This method allows you to see the trend conditions or signals across various timeframes. DataStream 1 (Row 5): 15 Minute DataStream 2 (Row 4): 30 Minute DataStream 3 (Row 3): 60 Minute DataStream 4 (Row 2): 90 Minute DataStream 5 (Row 1): 120 Minute Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 6

8 Another method of MTF analysis is to use a different interval of Tick, Volume, or Range for each DataStream. This method allows you to see the trend conditions or signals across various interval periods. DataStream 1 (Row 5): 100 Ticks DataStream 2 (Row 4): 250 Ticks DataStream 3 (Row 3): 500 Ticks DataStream 4 (Row 2): 1,000 Ticks DataStream 5 (Row 1): 2,500 Ticks Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 7

9 A third method of MTF analysis is to use a different instrument for each DataStream. This method allows you to see the trend conditions or signals across various instruments and symbols. DataStream 1 (Row 5): SPY 60 Minute DataStream 2 (Row 4): QQQ 60 Minute DataStream 3 (Row 3): DIA 60 Minute DataStream 4 (Row 2): GLD 60 Minute DataStream 5 (Row 1): USO 60 Minute Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 8

10 You can use a combination of all the various MTF Analysis Methods to create your own custom hybrid approach! DataStream 1 (Row 5): SPY 1 Minute DataStream 2 (Row 610 Ticks DataStream 3 (Row 3): SPY 5 Minute DataStream 4 (Row 5,000 Ticks DataStream 5 (Row 1): NYSE ADV/DEC 5 Minute Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 9

15 The Super MACD Spread MTF Indicator displays the MACD Spread trend conditions and signals for up to 5 different DataStreams (using any timeframe, interval, and symbol).

18 In addition to the color-coded trend conditions, the Super MACD MTF Indicators also plot special color-coded dots whenever a Divergence Signal or DOBOS Reversal is registered on any of the DataStreams. It s important to note that signals will always take color-coding priority over trend conditions. The following are the default signal colors, but all colors are customizable!

19 MACD Fast Length: Length or period used for the Fast Moving Average. MACD Slow Length: Length or period used for the Slow Moving Average. MACD Avg. Length: Average. Length or period used when calculating the MACD Price Smoothing Length: Number of bars to include in the averaging method when smoothing the price data. Gap % to Exclude: This value is the percent of each price gap that will be ignored when calculating the MACD value. For example, a value of 30 means that 30% of each price gap will be ignored when calculating the MACD, whereas a value of 100 means that each price gap will be completely ignored when calculating the MACD. Use OHLC/4 as Price: Set to TRUE to enable the MACD formula to use the OHLC / 4 as the price for each bar. Set to FALSE to enable the MACD formula to use the close as the price for each bar.

20 Gradient Color-Coding: If set to TRUE, the Super MACD will be color-coded using a special gradient method. The color of each bar is based upon the current MACD value and where it lies in relation to the minimum and maximum MACD values over the last X bars. Gradient Color Range: Determines the lookback period or amount of bars that will be referenced when obtaining the Maximum and Minimum MACD values that are required for Dynamic Gradient Color-Coding. MACD Avg. Color-Coding: If set to TRUE, the Super MACD will be colorcoded Green when it is above its Average and Red when below its Average. Slope Color-Coding: If set to TRUE, the Super MACD will be color-coded Green when it is sloping upwards and Red when sloping downwards. ZeroLine Color-Coding: If set to TRUE, the Super MACD will be color-coded Green when it is above the ZeroLine and Red when below the ZeroLine. MACD Avg. Crossover Signals & Alerts: Set to TRUE to enable dot signals and alerts for when the Super MACD crosses above or below the MACD Average. Slope Reversal Signals & Alerts: Set to TRUE to enable dot signals and alerts for when the Super MACD reverses the direction of its slope. ZeroLine Crossover Signals & Alerts: Set to TRUE to enable dot signals and alerts for when the Super MACD crosses above or below the ZeroLine Fibozachi LLC All Rights Reserved. 19
