⚡ Combo Indicator
SuperTrend + MACD Combo Indicator — Ready Pine Script
SuperTrend is one of the best trend indicators. MACD is one of the best momentum indicators. Together? A powerful combo that filters false signals and identifies high-probability entries.
In this post, I’ll hand you the complete Pine Script v5 code that combines both into a single indicator, with visual signals and alerts.
How the combo works
- SuperTrend defines trend direction (green = up, red = down)
- MACD confirms momentum (positive or negative histogram)
- BUY signal: SuperTrend turned green AND MACD histogram > 0
- SELL signal: SuperTrend turned red AND MACD histogram < 0
💡 Why combine?
SuperTrend alone gives many false signals in a sideways market. MACD alone lags in strong trends. Combined, one filters the other’s errors. Result: fewer trades, but higher quality.

How to use
- Recommended timeframes: H1 or H4 (works best in medium-term trends)
- Assets: Forex majors, synthetic indices (V75), crypto
- Wait for the “COMBO” signal (with 🚀 BUY or 📉 SELL label) — ignore the gray arrows
- Set up alerts to get notified when the combo fires
- Combine with 2x ATR stop loss and 4x ATR take profit (1:2 risk-reward)
✅ Best results
This combo works best in markets with clear trend. In choppy markets, signals become rare (which is good — it protects you from bad trades).
