MACD Calculator v2.0

This block calculates the Moving Average Convergence Divergence, which measures the difference between two moving averages with different periods. A third moving average, called the “signal”, is generated and compared to the spread – when the spread crosses above or below the signal line this is an indicator for trade.

Description

To make this block available to your scenario, you must add the Analytics APIs bundle to your project.
