MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

MACD

Introduction

The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) usually displays the difference between the 12 period and 26 period EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). The MACD does so by displaying a histogram as well as a signal line which by default is a 9 period EMA of the histogram.
Over the years, we've noticed people prefer to display the MACD indicator differently which we call the "MACD Traditional". This version includes both the main MACD line and the signal line, as well as a histogram.

There are actually many forex-learning resources which provide free trading videos,  InformedTrades is one of them. InformedTrades tries to help people learn to trade by providing trading courses. They incorporate a bunch of free trading videos within their free courses. I browsed around the site and found tremendous amount of info for those who want to know and learn to trade. InformedTrades cover both technical and non-technical sides of trading.

It seems that the host (David Waring) is trying to present the course-materials as systematic as possible. He categorize the course into 8 categories including course on forex, stock, futures and options trading. Up to this point you can see that InformedTrades is not only about forex trading.
