Preparations for trading with the MACD Professional Strategy

The MACD Professional Strategy is based on 3 indicators. Exponential Moving Average, Parabolic SAR and Moving Average Convergence Divergence. You will have to add each indicator to the chart. Leave their settings as default.

The EMA is one of the types of moving average. It will plot over the price.

The PSAR is displayed in a form of coloured dots that develop above or below the candles. They show the current price direction and its change. Moreover, they show the strength of the trend. The further the dots from the price, the stronger the trend. You may expect a change of the price direction when the dots are approaching the candlesticks. A long transaction can be opened when the dot appears below the price. A signal to open a short trade occurs when the first dot develops above the candles.

The MACD will appear in a separate window beneath the price chart. It consists of two lines. One is known as the MACD Line and the other as the Signal Line. Their crossovers produce trading signals. When the Signal Line crosses the MACD Line from below, you can open a long transaction. When the MACD Line crosses the Signal Line from above, it gives a signal to open a short trade.
