The Many Moving Parts of MACD

Our guest blog post today is from Jackie Ann Patterson of BackTesting Report.  Jackie’s trading experience extends back to 1994 when Silicon Valley stock options piqued her interest.  In recent years, she’s focused her computer skills on the markets, back testing several indicators on 7,147 stocks over 14 years of price history.  Today’s Trader’s Blog post gives an overview of the MACD indicator.  You can find out more by watching the free video at The Truth About MACD.

======================================================================

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) started as a simple concept: measure the difference between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to get early notice when they might cross.  New applications evolved over the years.  Now the MACD Lines and Histogram form a complex technical indicator that is used in a myriad of ways.  This guest blog post describes the MACD signals in the order of their appearance on the chart, showing you which are the earliest signals to pick up a potential trend change and which indicate a mature trend.

With dozens of indicators, hundreds of chart patterns, and thousands of combination's between the two, it’s no wonder that many traders struggle to find and enter trades with confidence. “Analysis paralysis” is a common problem for many traders, and it can even keep experienced traders from taking good trades. It’s easy to plot a dozen indicators on your chart, but what are they really telling you? Are you able to make split second decisions when there is an opportunity in the market? If not, it’s probably time to simplify your trading.

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to keep things simple, and avoid being a victim of "analysis paralysis", is to use a strategy that I call, "The Simple Strategy".
