"Technical Analysis from A to Z":
Code:
The MACD ("Moving Average Convergence/Divergence") is
a trend following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices.
The MACD was developed by
Gerald Appel, publisher of Systems
and Forecasts.
The MACD is the difference between
a 26-day and 12-day exponential moving average.
A 9-day exponential moving average,
called the "signal" (or "trigger") line
is plotted on top of the MACD to show
buy/sell opportunities. (Appel specifies
exponential moving averages as percentages.
Thus, he refers to these three moving averages
as 7.5%, 15%, and 20% respectively.)
Code:
Interpretation The MACD proves most effective in wide-swinging trading markets. There are three popular ways to use the MACD: crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, and divergences. Code:
Crossovers The basic MACD trading rule is to sell when the MACD falls below its signal line. Similarly, a buy signal occurs when the MACD rises above its signal line. It is also popular to buy/sell when the MACD goes above/below zero. Code:
Overbought/Oversold Conditions The MACD is also useful as an overbought/oversold indicator. When the shorter moving average pulls away dramatically from the longer moving average (i.e., the MACD rises), it is likely that the security price is overextending and will soon return to more realistic levels. MACD overbought and oversold conditions exist vary from security to security. Code:
Divergences A indication that an end to the current trend may be near occurs when the MACD diverges from the security. A bearish divergence occurs when the MACD is making new lows while prices fail to reach new lows. A bullish divergence occurs when the MACD is making new highs while prices fail to reach new highs. Both of these divergences are most significant when they occur at relatively overbought/oversold levels. Code:
Calculation The MACD is calculated by subtracting the value of a 26-day exponential moving average from a 12-day exponential moving average. A 9-day dotted exponential moving average of the MACD (the "signal" line) is then plotted on top of the MACD. |
