MACD fluctuates above and below zero lines, highlighting both momentum and trend direction as the moving averages converge and divergence. Your MACD line is the day exponential moving average EMA less the day exponential moving average EMA. You can use closing price for this moving average. The 9-day EMA acts as a signal line and identifies turns because it is plotted with the indicator.

For the histogram, it represents the difference between MACD and its 9-day EMA Signal Line. If the MACD line is above its Signal Line then its positive and if the MACD line is below its Signal Line, then it is negative.

You can substitute other values depending on your preference and goals. MACD has two moving averages with different speeds. In other words, one will be quicker to react to price swing movements than the other one. If a new trend occurs, the fast line will start to cross the slower line.

For this reason, the fast line will diverge or move away from the slower line, often indicating a new trend. You can see in the image above that when the lines cross, the histogram temporarily disappears because the difference between the lines at that time is 0. If moving averages move towards each other, it means that a Convergence is occurring. On the other hand, a divergence occurs when the moving averages move away from each other.

There are three different methods to interpret Moving Average Convergence Divergence MACD. It trails average line and helps determine the turns in the MACD. It shows bullish crossover when the MACD crosses above the signal line, and a bearish crossover if it turns below the signal line. As shown above, the chart clearly shows how a buy entered after the bullish crossover can be profitable. This strategy can also be used to manage or close a short entry. When the MACD line moves above the zero line to turn positive, then a bullish center-line crossover occurs.

This occurs when the day EMA moves above the day EMA. If the MACD line moves below the zero line to turn negative, then it is a bearish center-line. This occurs when the day EMA moves below the day EMA. This shows a point where the MACD does not follow price action and deviates.

The use of Relative Vigor Index is to measure the strength of a trend by comparing the closing price of a security to its price range and smoothing the results with EMA. In fact, the basic point of combining these tools is to match crossovers. To put it differently, if one of the indicators has a cross, you wait for a cross in the same direction as the other one. If it occurs, you buy or sell the equity and hold your position until the MACD gives you a signal to close the position.

See image below;. The chart above is the minute chart of Citigroup from December , It illustrates that there are two short and one long setups that occur after a crossover between the MACD and the RVI. The green circles are crossovers and the red circles are where the position should have been closed. The Money Flow Index — MFI is a type of oscillator that uses both price and volume on measuring buy and sell pressure. It generates less buy and sell signals compared to other oscillators, for the reason that the money flow index requires both price movements and surge to make extreme readings.

If the MFI gives you a signal of a bearish cross over the MACD lines, there is a potential short trade. This strategy is the same way in the opposite direction for long trades. The chart above is the minute chart of Bank of America BAC. The green circle is the moment when the MFI is signaling that BAC is oversold. After 30 minutes, the MACD has a bullish signal and is now open for a potential long position at the green circle highlighted on the MACD.

You hold your position until the MACD lines cross in a bearish direction as shown in the highlighted red circle on the MACD. To sum up, this position lets you profit an amount of 60 cents per share for about 6 hours. The use of Triple Exponential Moving Average — TEMA is to filter out volatility from conventional moving averages. It is made up of a single exponential moving average, a double exponential moving average, and a triple exponential moving average.

It can generate a trade signal when the fast line crosses the MACD and the price of a security breaks through the TEMA. What is MACD? MACD fluctuates above and below zero lines, highlighting both momentum and trend direction as the moving averages converge and diverge.

You can use closing price for this moving average. The 9-day EMA acts as a signal line and identifies turns because it is plotted with the indicator. For the histogram, it represents the difference between MACD and its 9-day EMA Signal Line. If the MACD line is above its Signal Line then its positive and if the MACD line is below its Signal Line, then it is negative. You can substitute other values depending on your preference and goals.

How to Trade Using MACD MACD has two moving averages with different speeds. If a new trend occurs, the fast line will start to cross the slower line. For this reason, the fast line will diverge or move away from the slower line, often indicating a new trend. You can see in the image above that when the lines cross, the histogram temporarily disappears because the difference between the lines at that time is 0.

Terminology The Convergence and Divergence of two moving averages are what MACD implies. If moving averages move towards each other, it means that a Convergence is occurring.

On the other hand, a divergence occurs when the moving averages move away from each other. There are three different methods to interpret Moving Average Convergence Divergence MACD. It trails average line and helps determine the turns in the MACD. It shows bullish crossover when the MACD crosses above the signal line, and a bearish crossover if it turns below the signal line. As shown above, the chart clearly shows how a buy entered after the bullish crossover can be profitable.

This strategy can also be used to manage or close a short entry. This occurs when the day EMA moves above the day EMA. If the MACD line moves below the zero line to turn negative, then it is a bearish center-line. This occurs when the day EMA moves below the day EMA. Divergence If the security price diverges from the MACD, it is a signal of a potential new trend. This shows a point where the MACD does not follow price action and deviates. What is the Most Popular MACD Combination?

In fact, the basic point of combining these tools is to match crossovers. If it occurs, you buy or sell the equity and hold your position until the MACD gives you a signal to close the position.

It illustrates that there are two short and one long setups that occur after a crossover between the MACD and the RVI. The green circles are crossovers and the red circles are where the position should have been closed. It generates less buy and sell signals compared to other oscillators, for the reason that the money flow index requires both price movements and surge to make extreme readings.

If the MFI gives you a signal of a bearish cross over the MACD lines, there is a potential short trade. This strategy is the same way in the opposite direction for long trades.

The chart above is the minute chart of Bank of America BAC. The green circle is the moment when the MFI is signaling that BAC is oversold. After 30 minutes, the MACD has a bullish signal and is now open for a potential long position at the green circle highlighted on the MACD.

You hold your position until the MACD lines cross in a bearish direction as shown in the highlighted red circle on the MACD. To sum up, this position lets you profit an amount of 60 cents per share for about 6 hours. It is made up of a single exponential moving average, a double exponential moving average, and a triple exponential moving average.

It can generate a trade signal when the fast line crosses the MACD and the price of a security breaks through the TEMA. You will exit positions whenever you receive contrary signals from both indicators. The image below is the minute chart of Twitter. In its first highlighted green circle you can clearly see that you have the moment when the prices switch above the period TEMA. The MACD confirms a bullish TEMA signal on the second highlighted circle.

This is when you open your long position. As shown above, the price increases and you get your first closing signal from the MACD in about 5 hours. The price of twitter breaks the period TEMA in a bearish direction after 20 minutes and you close your position. As can be seen, it generated a profit of 75 cents per share.

It is an oscillator used to identify oversold and overbought markets. This strategy offers two options for exiting the market.

This paper is focused on one of the technical analysis tools, i. It is a tool based on the three exponential moving average EMA Rule. The MACD analysis, with the help of a single line, was helpful to find out the exact bullish and the bearish trend of the NEPSE. A signal line is a benchmark to determine the stock market moving either to a bullish or bearish trend.

It can help an investor, where the market is going in a direction. A market convergence, divergence, and crossover were better identified with the help of the MACD histogram.

The paper found that the NEPSE return was stable for a very minimal period from to The shift from the bullish to bearish or vice-verse were seen easily identified with the help of a MACD histogram. Finally, a better-combined knowledge of moving average and candlestick chart analysis will help an investor, to put a clear picture of a market trend with the help of MACD analysis. Rashesh Vaidya. A simple moving average is one of the oldest and the simplest techniques of forecasting the trends of the stock market.

The technical analysts follow mainly three types of moving averages, namely; simple, weighted, and exponential moving averages. Among these three types, as per the interest of investors, short-term and long-term time duration is used to calculate the trend using the moving average. All the mentioned moving averages are used by investors or analysts to predict the future trends of the market using historical data. Hence, for evaluating their forecasting accuracy, the paper has used both the short-term and the long-term moving average.

The paper has used the NEPSE closing index values to calculate as well as plotted the moving averages to forecast the future trend and its accuracy with the help of Mean Absolute Percentage Error MAPE. The paper found that there is a better crossover in the graphical representation of the moving average in the long-term moving average. In context to the Nepalese stock market, the MAPE results reflected a weekly 5-trading days 5-SMA analysis of the market movement as the most relevant in short-term forecasting.

Similarly, using the technique of moving average, SMA trading days of a year was seen as the most effective to forecast long-term trends. The result of the long-term moving average MAPE pointed out that the annual reports of the listed companies better determine the trend of the market.
