Description
This starter kit for algorithmic developers includes a MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and RSI (Relative Strength Index) to open, close and manage trades automatically 24/7. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crossover indicator is a popular tool used in the technical analysis of stock prices to identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. The MACD components are the MACD, Signal and Histogram.
The Full Source Code is included for educational purposes.
HOW DOES THIS STRATEGY WORK?
Bullish Crossover (Buy Signal): This occurs when the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line as it suggests that the price might be starting an upward trend.
Bearish Crossover (Sell Signal): This occurs when the MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line as it suggests that the price might be starting a downward trend.
