In foreign exchange trading ,
the MACD value existing at the beginning of a data series is supposed to be equal to zero. The starting values of MACD are thought to include zero as far as it is based on exponential moving averages. Under these circumstances it is possible to omit the values before the 26th value in case the longer moving average has not got any importance yet. |

| General usage of the MACD,
a particular example of a Value Oscillator, is detecting price trends through closing prices of the market of foreign exchange trading. In case of MACD growth the prices go up and they go down while MACD decreases. A 9-day exponential average against which the MACD is generally traded is its signal line. This value is generated by the MACD Signal Line function.In foreign exchange trading, MACD increasing over the signal line makes a signal to buy. MACD falling lower the signal line produces a signal to sell. |
The curves
are varying at the area near zero. Standard oscillator researching methods are used in MACD analyzing. The value crossing the line shows whether to buy or sell. The Divergence is described greatly by this indicator in foreign exchange trading. Zero level crossing signalizes a possibility of trend changing. In case it is crossed up from below, it is a buy signal, otherwise if it is crossed downright it is a sell signal.

The process
when a slower line is intersected by a faster one is not senseless either. In case the faster line crosses the slower one up from below it is a buy signal. If the situation is opposite and a slower line is intersected by a faster one downright it is a sell signal. The signal is developed in case of its confirmation, which is a continuing lines motioning in a parallel way towards and crossing the zero point. The basic trend confirmed by such signal is the most reliable and significant in the market of foreign exchange trading.
