$PEPE 4-hour MACD: a golden cross below the zero line, with opposing histogram bars persisting for 15 bars before the crossover.
Let’s use this figure to explain MACD.
DIF (also called the MACD line) = 12-period EMA − 26-period EMA; DEA (also called the signal line) is calculated by taking a 9-period EMA of the DIF.
MACD calculation details vary slightly between software platforms. Intraday crossovers can also disappear by the close, so crossovers confirmed at the close are more reliable.
Keep sufficient margin for your futures positions. Don’t let a sudden sharp move force you out of a position.
