How It Works

Classic MACD (12, 26, 9) crossover strategy that generates signals when the MACD line crosses above or below the signal line. Enhanced with histogram divergence detection to identify weakening momentum before the crossover occurs. Works across all five markets with per-instrument parameter optimization.

When This Strategy Works Best

Best in trending markets with clear directional momentum. Less effective in choppy, range-bound conditions.
