The Moving Average Convergence and Divergence (MACD) is a staple in most trading platforms. It is a basic trading indicator that measures the difference between two moving averages and assesses the direction of the trend based on it. If the difference between the two moving averages is positive, then the trend is said to be bullish. If it is negative, then it is said to be bearish.
The most popular method of trading the MACD is by taking the trade on the cross of the midline, which is zero.
Fratelli MACD Forex Trading Strategy is a custom indicator that determines the main trend direction. It does this by printing three lines, white, blue and yellow.
The blue and yellow lines act as the main trend lines. However, unlike most trend lines, these are printed mostly as straight lines during flat market conditions and start to slope only when the market is starting to trend. The blue line is the top line and the yellow line is at the bottom. The white line act as a signal line, which hugs the price action quite closely.
