The Moxie Indicator just plots the MacD Histogram from a higher timeframe, except that it plots it as a line graph instead of a histogram.  For example, the Daily chart plots the Weekly MacD Histogram, the 1hr Chart plots the Daily MacD Histogram, etc.  The stair stepping comes from the fact that it is plotting a higher time. All you have to do is look at the MacD Histogram from the higher time frame and it gives you exactly what the "Moxie Indicator" is. For example, if you look at the Moxie indicator on Daily chart, all you have to do is look at MacD Histogram (as a line chart) on the Weekly Chart. The only thing the Moxie indicator does is that it puts it on the same chart for you and in doing so, lines up the dates. But it is easy to write code for that yourself. 

I wrote some easy code for it just to prove a point. NOTE: I did not write this code to fully replace the Moxie Indicator. It is only to prove my point. In the code below, you have to change the aggregation period manually. If you want to make it exactly like the Moxie Indicator, code would need to be written that would automatically change the aggregation period. I could do it, but I just wanted to prove a point, not replace the indicator. Also, the Moxie Indicator uses two MacD Histograms for the 15m chart and has a 15m HIGH (for long term trades) and a 15m LOW (for shorter term/Day trades).  

The chart correlations are:

Weekly Chart - Use Monthly MacD Histogram

Daily Chart - Use Weekly MacD Histogram

Hourly Chart - Use Daily MacD Histogram

15m HIGH Chart - Use 1 Hour and 2 hour MacD Histograms

15m LOW Chart - Use 30m and 1 hour MacD Histograms

So, to make it act like the Moxie indicator, you'd also need to modify it for 15m high and 15m low. But it can be done just hack this code to do whatever you want.



I have included pictures to show you that the code works. 

I colored my Magenta and Cyan to illustrate the difference, but I think the Moxie Indicator just uses Color.Downtrend and Color.Uptrend



\######### CODE STARTS HERE ######################



declare lower;



input Aggregation\_Period = [AggregationPeriod.DAY](http://AggregationPeriod.DAY) ;



\## you can make these inputs if you want the ability to change them on the fly 



def fastLength = 12;

def slowLength = 26;

def MacD\_Length = 9;



\## create zero line



declare zerobase;

plot ZeroLine = 0;

ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(Color.LIGHT\_GRAY);

ZeroLine.SetStyle(Curve.Firm);



\## Define MacD Lines



def MacD\_Line = ExpAverage(close(period = Aggregation\_Period), fastLength) - ExpAverage(close(period = Aggregation\_Period), slowLength);

def Avg\_Line = ExpAverage(MacD\_Line, MacD\_Length);



\## Plot the MacD Histogram as a line

plot Histogram\_Line = (MacD\_line - Avg\_Line);

Histogram\_Line.SetStyle(Curve.FIRM);

Histogram\_Line.SetLineWeight(2);



\## Determine if Histogram\_Line is going up or down

def trend = { default init, long, short};



switch (trend\[1\]) {

case init: 

if (Histogram\_Line < Histogram\_Line\[1\]) then { 

trend = trend.short; 

} 

else { 

trend = trend.long; 

} 

case long: 

if (Histogram\_Line < Histogram\_Line\[1\]) then { 

trend = trend.short; 

} 

else { 

trend = trend.long; 

} 

case short: 

if (Histogram\_Line < Histogram\_Line\[1\]) then { 

trend = trend.short; 

} 

else { 

trend = trend.long; 

} 

} 



\## Assign colors to the Histogram line graph. I made the colors different than the Moxie Indicator to prove a point. 

\## But I believe the Moxie indicator colors are just color.DOWNTICK and color.UPTICK

Histogram\_Line.AssignValueColor(if trend == trend.short then color.MAGENTA else color.CYAN);
