Question 2: 2: What does MACD mean?
MACD is called convergence and divergence of moving average. It is developed from the double moving average, and the fast moving average is subtracted from the slow moving average. The meaning of MACD is basically the same as that of double moving average. But it's easier to read.
When MACD turns from negative to positive, it is a buy signal. When MACD turns from positive to negative, it is a signal to sell. When the MACD changes at a large angle, it means that the gap between the fast moving average and the slow moving average expands very quickly, which represents the change of the market trend.
MACD indicators are displayed in three ways:
White line, yellow line, red and blue column. That white line is called DLF, that yellow line is called DEM[ also called MACD], and the red and blue columns are called bar charts. Interpreting it as Chinese, the white line DLF is the difference between short-term smma value and medium-term smma value; The yellow line DEM is the moving average and value calculated according to the white line DLF value; The red and blue columns are the difference between the DLF value of the white line and the DEM value of the yellow line. This index is the deviation value of the moving average of the deviation value of smma.
The traditional usage of MACD indicator is:
When the white line DLF crosses the yellow line DEM from bottom to top, if it is below the imaginary straight line [also called line 0] in the middle of the red and blue columns, it is an opportunity for bears to leave, while crossing line 0 upwards is a long one. When the yellow line DEM falls from top to bottom and crosses the white line DLF, if it is above the zero line, it is an opportunity for the bulls to close their positions and leave. If it breaks through the zero line, it is short. The red column changes from long to short, and the blue column changes from long to short. But in the actual market, first, when the white line crosses the yellow line and it is time to buy or sell, once repeated, futures prices and stock prices will continue to run in the original trend, and even start another wave of decline or rise. Second, after breaking through the zero line, it can be repeated, or it will trap people. So it is inconvenient to use. Some people make a fuss about parameter adjustment, such as adjusting EMA 1[ short-term smma] for calculating the DLF value of white line from 12 to 66, and EMA2[ medium-term smma] from 26 to 99, which completely avoids the repeated intersection of DLF of white line and DEM of yellow line, and avoids the size of red and blue columns.
This change has basically avoided the problem of mathematical playfulness, but new problems have emerged. This indicator has completely become a medium-and long-term indicator, and the red and blue columns have changed from long to short, as an early warning signal for both sides. Short-term speculators can no longer use it. If you want to use it, you can only look at the time-sharing chart. After adjustment, it is ok to do long-term work, but it must not be short-term. In fact, the yellow line has always been the trend line on the map. Once it changes direction, the market price really changes. This yellow line is very important.
In practice, the MACD indicator not only has a bargain-hunting function (when the price deviates from the MACD), but also captures a strong rising point (when the MACD turns red for the second time in a row), and captures the best selling point to help investors successfully escape from the top.
Common ways to escape from the roof are:
1, the stock price is sideways, and the MACD indicator is sold. It means that the stock price has been sideways after a sharp rise, forming a relatively high point, and the MACD indicator is the first to appear dead fork. Even if there is no dead fork on the 5 th and the 10 moving average, it is necessary to lighten up the position in time.
2. If the stock price does not plummet after the MACD indicator is dead, but rises again after the callback, it is often the last time the main force rises to cover the shipment, and the height is extremely limited. The high point formed at this time is often the highest point of a wave of market. The sign at the top of the judgment is the deviation of "price and MACD", that is, when the stock price hits a new high, but the MACD fails to hit a new high at the same time, the two trends deviate, which is a reliable signal that the stock price peaks.
