What is MACD?

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages of price.

  • MACD Line: EMA(12) − EMA(26) — the core momentum signal.
  • Signal Line: 9-period EMA of MACD Line — used to generate crossover signals.
  • Histogram: MACD − Signal Line — shows momentum acceleration. Growing histogram = strengthening trend.
  • Bullish: MACD above zero and histogram positive — strong uptrend momentum.
  • Bullish Crossover: Histogram just turned positive — early buy signal.
  • Bearish Crossover: Histogram just turned negative — early sell signal.
  • Fresh Crossover: Histogram crossed zero in the last session — the most actionable signals.

How to Use MACD Scans to Choose Stocks

  • Select all stocks and look at the MACD Value and Signal columns to identify crossovers.
  • For MACD Cross Above stocks: MACD line has just crossed above the signal line — bullish signal. Consider buying near support levels.
  • For MACD Cross Below stocks: MACD line has just crossed below the signal line — bearish signal. Consider selling near resistance levels.
  • Stocks with positive MACD (above zero line) and positive histogram are in confirmed uptrends.
  • The best MACD settings for most traders are the default 12, 26, 9 — though some use 5, 13, 1 for shorter timeframes.
