The traditional MACD indicator is known for its flexibility towards trading.
It is in this light that the Custom MACD indicator was designed to allow Forex traders determine breakouts, divergence, scalp for profits, etc.
The Custom MACD indicator gets added on the chart in a separate window at the lower end of the chart window.
The indicator is comprised of a red line and a blue starred dotted line.
Key Takeaways
- The crossover technique can be implemented when deploying the Custom MACD Indicator. Buy signal takes place when the blue starred line rises above its red line.
- Conversely, when the red line rises above the blue starred line of the Custom MACD indicator, a sell signal is said to be in place.
- The widening of the gap between the red and blue starred dotted lines is an indication that the price is overextending and may soon return to more realistic levels. Thus, giving users clues about overbought/oversold price conditions.
