Live chart overlay: MACD
Formula
MACD = EMA(fast) − EMA(slow); Signal = EMA(MACD, s); Hist = MACD − Signal
How to read
Histogram expanding = momentum building. Signal-line cross and zero-line cross are the two main timing reads.
Limitations
Lags by construction. Double-cross noise in ranges.
Typical settings
12 / 26 / 9
