MACD Willy Strategy

Script from: TradingViewSwingScalpingMomentumTrend following

The MACD Willy Strategy is designed for scalping and intraday trading, particularly effective with popular stocks on 5 to 15-minute time frames. It employs a trio of indicators: the 200 EMA for trend affirmation, the 12/26 MACD for momentum cues, and a custom-smoothed William %R for overbought/oversold levels. Trades are entered and exited based on the relationship of price to the EMA, the MACD line to its signal, and the positions of the William %R's fast and slow MAs.
