I haven't written technical analysis articles for a long time. Today I will share the common usage of the indicator MACD. Reading this article is actually enough.
1. The meaning of the MACD indicator
1. Location meaning
The double line above the 0 axis represents a bullish trend, while the line below the 0 axis represents a short trend;
The crossing of the double line and the crossing of the 0 axis are used as the basis for judging the general trend of the current market.
There are too many signals in the small period of the cross dead fork, so it is best not to use it alone.
2. The meaning of energy column
Long-short watershed: the 0-axis is the long-short watershed, above the 0-axis is more bullish, and below the 0-axis is more bearish;
Bulls take advantage of the trend: the volume column on the 0 axis changes from small to large, which is a long-term trend, and the disk shows an upward trend;
Long pullback: the volume column on the 0 axis gradually shrinks from large to more, and the disk shows an upward trend adjustment;
Short take advantage of the trend: the volume column under the 0 axis changes from small to large, which is a bearish trend, and the disk shows a downward trend;
Short rebound: The downward volume column under the 0 axis changes from large to small, which is a bearish rebound, and the disk shows a downward trend adjustment.
3. Comprehensive meaning
Long-short balance of power: the moving average is close to the 0 axis and circles up and down, and the volume bars are distributed in sporadic and small volume bars. At this time, the market is likely to fluctuate.
Divergence: Divergence is a signal of kinetic energy failure. Effective divergence refers to the divergence of both lines and energy columns at the same time. A meaningful phenomenon is: if there is a divergence, the trend may not necessarily reverse; if the trend reverses, there will be a high probability of divergence.
Trend continuation: The trend is rising + the volume energy column is always above the 0 axis, indicating that the upward trend continues; the trend is falling + the volume energy column is always below the 0 axis, indicating that the downward trend continues.
2. MACD trading method and application1. The first category of buying points
Trading principles:
Bottom divergence + golden cross as a buying point;
Top divergence + dead cross as a selling point.
2. The second type of buying point
Trading principles:
The double line runs above the 0 axis for the first time;
For the first time, the double line pulls back to near the 0 axis;
Afterwards, the 0 axis first formed a golden cross to buy.
3. Trend judgment trading method
Trading principles: judging trends in large cycles; entering the market in small cycles.
From the analysis of the weekly and daily lines, there are many large cycles, and the daily line has a short-term callback. Our trading strategy is that if the daily line is short, we can only do a callback, or wait for the daily line to pull back and then go long along the weekly line.
We can find the entry point from a small cycle, such as 1 hour or 4 hours.
4. Energy column position trading method
Trading principles:
The moving average is close to the 0 axis and circles up and down;
The volume columns are distributed in sporadic small volume columns;
Enter when the price breaks out at the same time.
The volume column of the MACD indicator is shrinking, and the moving average is coiled around the 0 axis, indicating that the long and short positions are in a state of evenness, which is consistent with the K-line consolidation and shock, and is a form of energy accumulation and accumulation.
Therefore, when the form presented by the volume column of the MACD indicator is consistent with the classic form of K-line, such as triangle, flag and other narrow-range consolidation market trends, once the narrow-range fluctuation form is broken, it is often a good opportunity.
5. Key position trading method
Trading principles:
Key support pressure level;
There is a needle threading signal on the K line;
The amount of energy column from positive to negative, short;
Volume energy column from negative to positive, go long.
6. Second turn red turn green trading method
Trading principles:
The first wave of rising volume bars should not be too large or too small, corresponding to the K-line price pattern, it is best to be in the attack pattern;
The first wave of positive volume gradually enlarged from small to then gradually reduced, but when it shrunk to a certain level, no negative volume appeared, but the positive volume expanded again and continued to gradually enlarge.
7, bergamot upwardTrading principles:
After the double-line golden cross, it goes up as the commodity price goes up, and then the price pulls back;
After the double line returns to the vicinity of the 0 axis, the DIF line immediately turns around and upwards, forming a bergamot upward pattern.
8. Master Shenglang Trading MethodTrading principles for falling masters and rising waves:
The MACD volume column has been above the 0 axis, and the price has continued to rise;
The MACD volume column is below the 0 axis for the first time, and the price pulls back in 1 wave;
2 wave energy columns are less than 1 wave energy column;
When wave 2 pulls back and the MACD volume column is shortened or enlarged twice, enter the market to short trade wave 3.
The same is true for rising main Shenglang.
9. Divergence + pattern trading method
Trading principles:
MACD diverges;
Trend breaks.
Divergence does not mean a reversal, it can also be a sign of gaining momentum, and there will be another divergence after the divergence, so we can easily be deceived by using the divergence to leave or enter the market.
But we can use macd + price trend to judge the turning point of the market.
In the end, indicators are just a tool for us to observe the market. The key is that we need to find a tool that suits us and a trading system that suits us.
