Your Guide to the MACD Indicator: Learning How to Better Time Your Trades

Hey, everyone. It’s Chris Rowe and today I’m going to unravel the mystery behind the Moving Average Convergence Divergence, or what’s commonly known as the “MACD”.
Put simply, it’s an accurate, easy to understand momentum indicator that generates trade signals.
You can find it on every charting service. And it can be used to analyze price action for any time frame. It doesn’t matter if it’s an intraday time period, like hours and minutes, or a long-term view like monthly bars.
Trading just got simpler!
Let’s get into it.

Chris is The #1 most knowledgeable stock + finance you-tuber. He is the real-deal. When people start to know more about him and his background the number of KZbin subscribers he has will snowball. I expect he will have 500k subscribers sooner than later. Keep up the great work Chris! I appreciate it!

Thank you for a thoroughly explained video. I'm not sure I've seen a better analysis on MACD indicators. From my experience in investing, having made more than 6 figures net profit over the past few of years, I'd say having an expert handle your financial investments is the best way to earn passively and can also go a long way in helping you gain confidence to trade yourself. Not everyone is built for the ups and downs themselves, especially when starting out newly.

[@ashleycrawfd]

You are entirely correct. For the majority of people getting started, trading CAN be frustrating. There's more than one good way to approach it.

I've just turned 21 and I'm new to investing, and I've lost a good sum trying out strategies I found in online tutorials. I would sincerely appreciate any recommendations you have.

[@dwightwellings]

@@ashleycrawfd i agree with you

[@dwightwellings]

@@albert-sinclair.m Although I have a full grasp of just how and when to trade, I still leave the major pool of my investments in the hands a licensed professional. I rely on his years of successful trading to keep me earning passively. I'm sure he can get you started as well. He does charge for his services, it'll help to have that in mind.

Thank you

Very helpful video. When in a down trend, the macd and the signal line are below 0 line,and the the macd crosses from above to below the signal line, does it mean the price will keep on going down? And the same, when in an uptrend the macd and signal line are abode 0 line, what is the meaning between the crosses that happen abode the zero line and keep going the crosses they keep doing while both are above the zero line?
