MACD-VWAP-BB Indicator
The Scalping Rainbow MACD-VWAP-BB Indicator is a simple tool for beginners to scalp (make quick trades) on a 1-minute chart in TradingView. It helps you decide when to buy or sell assets like forex (EUR/USD), crypto (BTC/USD), or stocks by showing clear signals directly on the candlestick chart. Here’s how to use it for scalping, explained in the easiest way:
Setup: Open TradingView, choose a 1-minute chart for a liquid asset (e.g., EUR/USD). Copy the indicator code into the Pine Editor (bottom tab), click “Add to Chart.” You’ll see green triangle-up signals below candles for buying and red triangle-down signals above candles for selling.
Buy Signal (Green Triangle Up): When a green triangle appears below a candle, it means the MACD, VWAP, and Bollinger Bands all suggest the price may rise. Action: Buy immediately, aiming for a small profit (5-10 pips in forex, 0.1-0.5% in crypto/stocks). Set a stop-loss 2-5 pips below the recent low to limit losses.
Sell Signal (Red Triangle Down): A red triangle above a candle signals a potential price drop. Action: Sell or short the asset, targeting a quick profit. Set a stop-loss 2-5 pips above the recent high.
Scalping Tips: Trade during busy market hours (e.g., 5:30 PM–9:30 PM IST for forex). Exit trades within 1-5 minutes. Only risk 1-2% of your account per trade. Check for support/resistance levels or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Practice: Use a demo account to test the indicator. Stick to 3-5 trades per session to avoid overtrading. If signals are too frequent, adjust “Signal Delay” to 2 in settings.
This indicator simplifies scalping by combining three reliable tools into clear buy/sell signals, perfect for beginners.
