Strategy overview

The MACD reads momentum from the distance between two moving averages and a signal line drawn on top of it — but the MACD on this chart is not the one that ships with TradingView. This entry decodes a video from the channel STOCK MARKET US, titled "The BEST FREE Buy Sell Indicator on TradingView? This One Is Insanely Smart!", which pairs a community-published MACD rebuild with a channel-style overlay called Meridian Lens PRO and presents the combination on the 1-minute chart. The format is indicator discovery rather than a trading lesson: the hook is a free script you may not have heard of, and the setup is what the presenter builds around it.

The second indicator's name is effectively its spec sheet. "Perfect MACD Leader plus Volume Weighted plus Impulse" bundles three departures from the standard calculation: a leading variant tries to buy back some of MACD's structural lag, which usually costs something in extra turns; volume weighting makes the momentum reading sensitive to how much participation is behind a move rather than to price alone; and an impulse layer adds a colour-coded state on top of the histogram. Each of those changes what a crossover means, so intuition built on the default MACD does not transfer cleanly — a point worth holding onto, because a good share of the video's runtime is spent inside the two settings panels before any entry condition is stated.

And that runtime is short. Under four minutes covers the introduction, both indicator configurations, the short and long entry conditions, and one long trade as the only illustration — no backtest, no sample of trades, and no treatment of spread, commission or slippage, which on a 1-minute chart sit on the same order of magnitude as the move being captured. There is also the question every signal-painting script raises and no screen recording can answer for you: whether the arrows are evaluated on the closed bar or can shift while the bar is still forming. The timestamped source video remains the reference for the conditions as the presenter states them; this page covers the concept behind the pairing and how the video frames it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a volume-weighted MACD, and how does it differ from the standard one?

A standard MACD is calculated from price alone — the difference between two moving averages, plus a signal line. A volume-weighted version gives more influence to bars that traded more, so the momentum reading reflects participation as well as direction, and its crossovers can occur at different moments than on the default MACD.

What does the "impulse" part of this indicator add?

Impulse-style layers classify each bar into a state — typically colour-coded — by combining a momentum reading with a trend reading, so the histogram communicates a regime rather than only a value. It is a presentation and filtering layer sitting on top of the MACD calculation, not an independent signal.

Do buy/sell arrow indicators on TradingView repaint?

Some do and some don't. It depends on whether the script evaluates its condition on the closed bar or on the bar in progress — an arrow printed mid-bar can disappear if the bar closes differently. A video demonstration cannot settle this; check the script's logic and watch it on bar replay and live data before relying on the signals.

How should I evaluate an indicator combination like this before trading it?

Treat the video as a starting point rather than evidence: a single illustrated trade says nothing about expectancy, and on a 1-minute chart transaction costs largely decide the outcome. Rewrite the conditions as mechanical rules, test them over a meaningful sample with realistic costs, then forward-test.
