Introduction Compact

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence is a good medium term indicator developed by George Appel that signals overbought and oversold conditions by measuring the intensity of public sentiment. Use the crossover of the fast moving average through the slower moving average to arrive at buy or sell signals. MACD is especially valuable when used in conjunction with a momentum indicator such as Stochastic or RSI. Since MACD is a sensitive indicator of public sentiment it can be applied to mutual funds as well as stocks and some technicians believe a 8-17-9 MACD is best for entering long positions and 12-25-9 for exiting them.
