MACD in trading

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator is a momentum oscillator primarily used to trade trends. Although it is an oscillator, it is not typically used to identify over bought or oversold conditions. It appears on the chart as two lines which oscillate without boundaries.


Narrator: The moving average convergence divergence, or MACD, is a trading indicator, which can help measure a stock's momentum and identify potential entries and exits. The MACD is a lower indicator, meaning it usually appears as a separate chart below a stock chart.
