MACDHistogram

Description

The MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) Histogram is a study that visualizes the difference between the main MACD plot and its signal line. Plotted as a histogram, this indicator often produces valuable signals for trend analysis: specifically, when it crosses above or below the zero level.

When the histogram rises above the zero level, an uptrend may be emerging; conversely, when it falls below, a downtrend is likely to be identified. Actual indication of the crossovers can be enabled by setting the show breakout signals parameter value to yes.

Input Parameters

Parameter Description
fast length The number of bars used to calculate the fast moving average.

show breakout signals Controls indication of histogram crossovers above and below the zero line.
