Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD)

RSI as a Trend ToolMost people use the RSI as a momentum indicator, trying to find Overbought/Oversold (OBOS) conditions, and/or divergences. However there is also a way to use it as a Trend Tool. There is a mathematical relationship that connects the RSI and EMA's. The formula is RSI(x) cross-over 50-line = Close cross-over EMA(2x) i.e. RSI(14) cross-over 50 line = Close cross-over EMA(28) This one of the properties of the RSI, which I discovered when taking a more indept look into momentum indicators, which ultimately led to the discovery of the MACD-v in 2014/2015 The MACD-v was then publicly disclosed in 2022, in the form of a a paper called "MACD-v: Volatility Normalised Momentum", which was awarded: It has won 2 International Awards: 1. The “Founders Award” (2022), for advances in Active Investment Management from the National Association of Active Investment Managars (NAAIM) 2. The “Charles H. Dow Award” (2022) for outstanding research in Technical Analysis, from the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)

Bull Bear Power Void - Your volume oscillator is lying to you.The simplicity of this indicator is REALLY what has me gassed up. It's the smallest indicator I have coded but it is just so powerful. There are a million oscillators out there based on volume. My biggest problem with them is that they simply tell you whether you have volume to the upside or volume to the down side. It kind of tricks you with the lack of information into thinking you have a change in your trend or that you're going to be able to break out of a range across a moving average or through some trend line or support and resistance. However many of these Oscillators are failing because they lack to tell you one key thing. They tell you that you have volume but they never tell you if it's enough volume. Even a popular indicator like the MACD can have its MACD Line crossing upwards over the signal, telling you that you have an uptrend but again it's still failing to give you the results of how much volume of trades you have and "is it enough" volume in that crossover. It boils down to the one key fact that without volume there is no momentum. This should be able to make trading crossovers a lot easier. So in today's video I'm going to show you the newest addition to the trading View Community Scripts and it is called, "The Bull Bear Void Volume Oscillator" Use this link to get it for free From my own testing, this oscillator can predict whether the next candle will get you the move you need or not. In the markets you cannot have anything good without volume. After you have volume you have momentum. You cannot have momentum without volume and this is the key thing that causes people to fail when they look for breakouts, trend reversals, or if they're wondering whether this move is a fake out. This indicator is based on the study of volume spread analysis or VSA. This indicator is designed to be paired perfectly with the Heiken Ashi Algo oscillator. Get it here This indicator is strictly to be used as a confirmation indicator and not to be used by itself to tell you when to buy or sell. What are its Parts? The Colored Columns or Volume Bars RED Column - Indicates volume movie downward Light Red - indicates volume is pulling back from a downward move Green - indicates volume is moving upwards Light Green - indicates volume is moving down from an outboard move The void Is Green for bullish and red for bearish. This is a Cloud that appears extending from the center upwards and downwards. This is the average range of volume. Anything volume closing inside of this void is ranging volume or very little volume and it is not enough to break the trend or break out. The MACD and MACD Signal Line Just like using the macd these two lines indicate whether the trend is moving up or the trend is moving down. But in this oscillator it's been colorized to show you when profits are being taken versus new positions being opened in either direction. Rules for a SELL CONFIRMATION TRADE The macd line must be underneath the signal line and the macd line must be below the midline. A bullish column must appear below the midline and it must extend outside of the red void. if you are using the heikin-ashi Aldo oscillator you must also have a red Heiken Ashi candle close below -10. The MACD trend line must be a solid color and NOT black. To open a LONG position you simply reverse the rules.

The MACD explained ! All you need to know about it Hello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :) _________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________ In this video, I am gonna explain what is the MACD and how to use it and how to identify buy and sell signals using this indicator. So what is the MACD, The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator (so a momentum indicator is a technical analysis tool that allows us to determine the strength or weakness of a stock's price movement ) There are a lot of people that use the MACD when they analyze charts because it's very simple and it's very good but I always say never just use 1 indicator to analyze a chart, always try to use at least 3 this way u can make sure that the result is more accurate and the market most likely to move as u analyzed. let's look at the theory behind the MACD before looking at a real-life example and how to identify buy and sell signals using this indicator : The typical settings for the MACD are 12 26 and 9. The MACD consist of 4 parts : 1) Zero line 2) MACD line 3) Signal line 4) Histogram We start off with our zero line and this is where the MACD line and the signal line move around and basically so if the MACD is trading above the 0 line then it's bullish and if it's under then it's bearish. Then we have the MACD line and it comes from the 12 26 section, and it gets calculated by subtracting the 26 EMA of the price out of the 12 day EMA of the price. And after that we have a second line that gets plotted from the 9 section so basically, it’s a moving average for the MACD line so it tries to smooth the MACD line and give us some signals and it's called the signal line.(it's called a signal line because that's where we get our buy and sell signals from) So on top of that, we have another part in this indicator which is called the histogram. So this histogram job is to show how close these lines will crossover, so when the distance between the MACD line and the signal line is far the histogram gets bigger and bigger. So how do we use this indicator : 1) Crossovers between the MACD line and the Signal line. * When the MACD line crosses above the Signal line then its a buy signal (Bullish Crossover) * When the MACD line crosses below the Signal line then its a sell signal (Bearish Crossover) 2) The Histogram . A lot of people use histograms as a way to predict when a reversal will occur. We know that the MACD is a momentum indicator so it can show us when sell pressure is low. And that means it might be a good time to buy. And It can tell you when your long position is about to run out of steam and when you should exit. 3) Divergences between the MACD and the Market Price . A Divergence means that the indicator is not moving in sync with the Market Price and a Reversal could happen (Note that Reversal trading is risky so please calculate your risks before using this Strategy) always remember that : Bullish divergence is when the Market price is going down but the MACD is going up. Bearish divergence is when the Market Price is going up but the MACD is going down. I hope I’ve made the MACD easy for you to understand and please ask if you have any questions . Hit that like if you found this helpful and check out my other video about the Moving Average, Stochastic oscillator, The Dow Jones Theory, How To Trade Breakouts and The RSI. links will be bellow

NOK Price AnalysisPlease take care and observe NOK's price action of the coming week. MACD looks set up well for a Bearish zero line MACD/Signal cross. It's been my observation that when this set up is realized there is a large move to the downside that generally follows. Watch for this week's close to maintain or exceed $4.00 A close below $4 level without significant bullish volume in the following week might see a break of the ascending triangle presented in the video. For further details and analysis, please watch the video in its entirety.
