The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a popular technical analysis tool in Olymp Trade that traders use to identify potential buy and sell signals. On the Olymp Trade Binary Platform, the MACD indicator helps enhance trading strategies by providing precise signals based on historical price data.
1. Understanding MACD
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. There are three components of the MACD indicator:
- MACD Line: The difference between the 12-day and 26-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
- Signal Line: The 9-day EMA of the MACD line.
- Histogram: The difference between the Moving Average Convergence Divergence and Signal lines.
