What Is the DAT MACD Forex Indicator?

The DAT MACD Forex Indicator for MT4 is a modern version of the classic MACD tool.
Instead of using standard moving averages, it applies a Triple Exponential Average (TRIX).
This method smooths out noise and creates more reliable trading signals.

It helps traders identify trend direction, momentum changes, and entry or exit points.
The indicator works well across all timeframes and currency pairs — ideal for scalping, intraday, or swing trading.

How the DAT MACD Works

The DAT MACD plots two lines — a fast and a slow moving average — around the zero line.
These lines change color to make signals easy to spot.

  • Buy Signal: Fast MA crosses above the slow MA and both move above zero.
  • Sell Signal: Fast MA crosses below the slow MA and both move below zero.
  • Momentum Reading: Positive = bullish, Negative = bearish.

Because of its TRIX smoothing, the indicator reduces false signals, especially in sideways markets.

How to Trade Using the DAT MACD Indicator

Buy Setup

  1. Wait for the fast MA to cross above the slow MA.
  2. Confirm both lines are above the zero line.
  3. Lines turn green – bullish confirmation.
  4. Place your stop-loss below the last swing low.

Sell Setup

  1. Wait for the fast MA to cross below the slow MA.
  2. Confirm both lines are below the zero line.
  3. Lines turn red – bearish confirmation.
  4. Stop-loss goes above the recent swing high.

Exit Strategy

  • Exit a long trade when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA.
  • Exit a short trade when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA.
    You can also use trailing stops or support/resistance levels to protect profits.

Trading Example

On the EUR/USD 30-minute chart, the DAT MACD gave a sell signal when the fast MA crossed below the slow MA and both lines dropped under zero.
The lines turned red, showing strong bearish momentum.
Later, a buy signal appeared as the fast MA crossed above the slow MA and turned green — signaling a strong rally.
