Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) was developed by Gerald Appel, and is based on the differences between two moving averages of different lengths, a Fast and a Slow moving average. A second line, called the Signal line is plotted as a moving average of the MACD. A third line, called the MACD Histogram is optionally plotted as a histogram of the difference between the MACD and the Signal Line.

Configuration Options

  • TBD: TBD
  • Color Selectors: Colors to use for graph elements.
  • Display Axis Label: Whether to display the most recent value on the Y axis.

Formula

[\MACD = FastMA - SlowMA\]

where:

  • FastMA is the shorter moving average and SlowMA is the longer moving average.
  • SignalLine = MovAvg(MACD)
  • MACD Histogram = MACD- SignalLine
