Introduction
The video introduces the MACD indicator and explains its popularity in technical analysis.
What is MACD?
- MACD stands for Moving Averages Convergence and Divergence.
- It shows the relationship between two different Exponential Moving Averages (EMA).
- It is a combination of three different types of indicators: trend, momentum, and signal.
- Gerald Appel developed the MACD line in 1979, and Thomas Aspray added the Histogram feature to it in 1986.
Components of MACD
- The graph consists of three main components: the MACD Line, Signal Line, and MACD Histogram.
- There is also an auxiliary component called the Zero Line.
Calculations
- The MACD Line is calculated by subtracting the 26-period EMA from the 12-period EMA.
- The Signal Line is calculated by taking the 9-period EMA of the MACD Line.
- The difference between the two lines oscillates around a Zero Line.
Zones and Settings
This section explains how to interpret zones on a chart using MACD as well as how to adjust settings.
Zones
- The zone upwards from zero line is called Positive Zone; downwards Negative Zone.
- If the MACD line is on zero line short and long period EMAs are equal.
- If it's in Positive Zone short period EMA value > long period EMA value
- If it's in Negative Zone short period EMA value < long period EMA value
Settings
- The default input ranges are 12, 26, and 9 for the MACD.
- The most commonly used values are 12 periods for the short EMA and 26 periods for the long EMA.
- The most commonly used signal line value is 9 periods.
- Users can make changes to these settings but should backtest before doing so.
Conclusion
This section concludes the video by summarizing what was covered.
Recap
- The video provided a detailed explanation of the MACD indicator.
- It is a combination of three different types of indicators: trend, momentum, and signal.
- The graph consists of three main components: the MACD Line, Signal Line, and MACD Histogram.
- The MACD Line is calculated by subtracting the 26-period EMA from the 12-period EMA.
- If it's in Positive Zone short period EMA value > long period EMA value; if it's in Negative Zone short period EMA value < long period EMA value
- The most commonly used values are 12 periods for the short EMA and 26 periods for the long EMA.
- The most commonly used signal line value is 9 periods.
Final Thoughts
- Users should backtest before making any changes to settings.
Technical Analysis Indicators
This section covers the technical analysis indicators used in trading.
Euro/Dollar Parity, Ounce Gold and Ounce Silver Indicators
- The best signals for these indicators are found on the 3-hour chart.
Stocks
- For stocks, the best input range is not the default settings. Instead, use 7-22, 7-23 and 7-24 fast and slow length values.
- Detailed information about backtesting can be found by clicking on the suggestion card that appears above.
MACD Components
This section covers how to interpret and use MACD components in BUY/SELL transactions.
MACD Line and Zero Line Crossovers
- If the MACD Line continues to rise by crossover the zero line upwards, it can be interpreted as a strengthening bullish trend. Conversely, if it continues to decrease by crossover downwards, it can be interpreted as a strengthening bearish trend.
- The oscillation of the MACD Line in positive or negative zones gives information about price trends of relevant financial assets.
MACD Line and Signal Line Crossovers
- The most common signal generated by MACD is the crossover of the MACD Line and Signal Line.
- Bullish Crossover: If MACD Line crosses Signal Line up in Negative Zone, that is STRONG BUY signal; an upside break in Positive Zone is a WEAK BUY signal.
- Bearish Crossover: If MACD Line crosses Signal Line downwards in Positive Zone STRONG SELL; a bearish break in Negative Zone is a WEAK SELL signal.
Histogram
- The histogram shows difference between the MACD Line and Signal Line.
- The lengthening of the MACD Histogram in the positive zone indicates that the BUY momentum has increased. Conversely, if it starts to shorten again, it indicates that there are now profit sales and that the momentum is starting to weaken.
- The lengthening of the MACD Histogram in the negative zone indicates a strengthening bearish trend.
Creating Strategies with the Momentum Histogram
This section discusses how to create trading strategies using the momentum histogram and MACD indicator.
Using the 200 Period SMA and MACD Indicator
- Wait for a pullback after an upward attack in prices.
- Spot the area where downside momentum is weakening as a possible buying zone.
- Alternatively, wait for upside momentum to increase and break through a certain resistance line on the chart before buying.
- Apply these methods to assets in bear markets as well.
Detecting Divergences with MACD Indicator
- Divergences occur when price movements move in opposite directions with technical indicators.
- Regular divergences occur when price bottoms are falling while indicator bottoms are rising (bullish) or when price peaks rise while indicator peaks fall (bearish).
- Hidden divergences occur when price bottoms are rising while indicator bottoms are falling (bullish) or when price peaks fall while indicator peaks rise (bearish).
Examples of Divergences
Regular Bullish Divergence
- Price action makes a lower low than previous level, but MACD line makes a higher low than previous level.
- Prices increased after this divergence.
Hidden Bullish Divergence
- Price action makes a higher low than previous level, but MACD line makes a lower low than previous level.
- Prices increased after this divergence.
Regular Bearish Divergence
- Price action makes higher highs than previous level, but MACD line makes lower highs than previous level.
- Prices decreased after this divergence.
