    Hi Pete! Thank you for all you do. This does not function as it should on the mobile app which is all I can use at work. It shows the MACD lines and histogram but doesn’t appear to change colors or show thesignal arrows. Also, I can’t find “START AGGREGATION AT MARKET OPEN” on the tos mobile app anywhere. Any chance you’d be willing to slightly modify for us stuck on the mobile app? It doesn’t even have to change colors, if it would just show the signal. I love this study and this website. Thanks.

      Thanks I’ve looked into it. Tried Chrome, Edge and Firefox. No extensions, even paused antivirus security. Gear icon shows annotations on. Cleared cache and cookies. Restarted browser, reset to default on youtube and browsers, reloaded youtube, even downloaded installed as a new browser Firefox to try that. Unable to view the link annotation no matter what I try. Can’t believe I’m the only one with this issue.

        Terribly sorry to put you through all that. I was not aware that YouTube has completely removed all annotations. Even from videos previously published. Please contact me via this contact form and I will email you the link.

        I will have to update my entire library of videos to correct the issue for the rest of the viewers:

    Hi Pete, do i understand correctly that uncheck START AGGREGATION AT MARKET OPEN is only if we use intraday that can NOT be divided evenly by 6.5 hours trading hours = 390 minutes so if i use 130 minutes as base chart with mid chart 1day and check start aggregation at market open (else TOS weirdly starts the bar at 7:30 despite NO SHOW EXTENDED HOUR), your indicator will still work correctly, right?

    separate question, would you be so kind to post similar script in Trade Station (just the script without video, pls)
    thanks so much for all your time

      “Start Aggregation at Market Open”, is a setting that impacts allignment between intraday charts and the rest of the tools on the platform. Uncheck this option to ensure your intraday charts align with the rest of the platform. This has absolutely nothing to do with dividing time.

    Hi Pete, I downloaded the MTF MACD indicator and installed it as you state in the video. But I am getting an error periodically and the indicator goes blank. The error is located at the left upper corner of the chart. Chart_MTF_MACD: Trying to self-assign a non-initialized rec: mid term signal. Any idea how I can fix this? Thank you.

    Hi Pete – I started looking at your site and looks liek you got some good stuff here. Starting with this MTF MACD indicator. I’m definitely missing something here – I cannot find the link to download this TOS indicator.

      If the white box is blank, your browser is blocking video annotations. Try resetting your browser to default settings or try using another browser.

    Pete, Do you happen to have this MTF MACD in tradeStation for range chart or tick chart as TOS cant support MTF for these types of chart

    Hi Hahn,

    This is very useful. I am however confused as to what does the length of the candles indicate? Some candles are longer than the other, and they all keep moving in ascending to descending and descending to ascending for most of the time.

    Thanks.

    Hi Pete,
    It seems the link to chart_MTF_MACDSTUDY.ts is broken. Could you double-check to see it works? Thanks.

      You say you “copied the code”. We did not provide a text file for you to copy and paste. So if you copied and pasted the code you did not use our recommended method of importing the study file into thinkorswim. The entire purpose for providing a study file for import is to avoid copy errors.
