Trading indicators<\/a> have long become useful instruments in traders’ work. This article is devoted to seven popular oscillators that help detect the current market situation and give signals<\/a> for opening and closing positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MACD<\/a> <\/strong>is one of the most popular oscillators. It was created by a famous trader and analyst Gerald Appel. As the name of the indicator tells us, the indicator is comprised of several MAs with different parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The indicator is calculated in a separate window on the terminal desktop and consists of two lines, one of them presented by a bar histogram. A trading signal is basically a crossing of the two lines or a divergence<\/a> of their extremes (highs and lows) with the price chart. A divergence might be predicting a correction or even a trend reversal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
