📊 MACD Indicator in Stock Market Trading (Complete Guide for NEPSE Traders)
📌 What is MACD?
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a popular technical analysis indicator used by traders to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential buy/sell signals in the stock market.
It helps traders understand whether a stock is gaining strength (bullish) or losing strength (bearish).
MACD is widely used in global markets and also very effective in NEPSE trading (Nepal Stock Exchange).
⚙️ How MACD Works
MACD is based on moving averages and consists of three main components:
📈 1. MACD Line
It is calculated by subtracting:
- 26-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
- 12-period EMA
👉 Formula idea:
MACD Line = 12 EMA – 26 EMA
📉 2. Signal Line
- A 9-period EMA of the MACD line
- Used to generate buy/sell signals
📊 3. Histogram
- Shows the difference between MACD line and Signal line
- Helps visualize momentum strength
