Trading with Oscillators

What are Trend Indicators? Trend indicators are technical analysis tools that use price action to recognize price patterns and identify the true direction of the trend.

 

Oscillators are tools of technical analysis that are bound within a range. This predefined range helps traders to identify if the price of a financial asset is found in overbought/oversold levels. 

Oscillators can prove a useful tool for:

  • Identifying Overbought/Oversold Market Levels
  • Evaluating the Momentum of the Trend
  • Spotting Trend Reversal/Continuation
  • Generating Trade Signals

But how easy it is to spot a failure in the momentum of the trend?

“When a long-term trend loses its momentum, short-term volatility tends to rise. It is easy to see why that should be so: the trend-following crowd is disoriented.” -George Soros

Moving Average Convergence Divergence

(MACD)

Usage: Trend-Following Momentum Indicator

◙ Trading: Trading Signals from Crossovers | Slope Divergences

Standard Settings: 12-period Fast, 26-periods Slow, and 9-period EMA

 

Introduction to MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

Developed by Gerald Appel in the 1970s, MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator and one of the most widely used technical analysis indicators worldwide. The oscillator can evaluate the momentum of the trend and generate reliable trading signals.

  • The MACD is the difference between a 26-day and 12-day EMA (exponential moving average)
  • The Signal Line is a 9-day EMA which works a trigger for buying/selling the market

The MACD can be used for trading any financial market (Foreign Exchange, Equities, Commodities) in multiple timeframes. There are two ways to visualize MACD:

(a) 2 classic lines system (MACD and Signal Line) and focus on where they are interacting

(b) MACD Histogram (and focus on crossovers above/below zero)

The MACD Histogram

Developed by Thomas Aspray, the MACD-Histogram shows the distance between the MACD line and the signal line.
