macd_signal
MACD Signal Line (EMA of MACD line)
macd_signal(source, fast_period, slow_period, signal_period, fast_matype="ema", slow_matype="ema", matype="ema")
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
source |
field | Data series (commonly close) |
fast_period |
int | Fast MA period |
slow_period |
int | Slow MA period |
signal_period |
int | Signal smoothing period |
Formula
MACD Signal = MA(macd_line(...), signal_period)Examples
// MACD line crossed above signal (buy signal)
crossover(macd_line(close, 12, 26, 9), macd_signal(close, 12, 26, 9));// MACD line crossed below signal (sell signal)
crossunder(macd_line(close, 12, 26, 9), macd_signal(close, 12, 26, 9));// MACD with SMA signal smoothing
macd_signal(close, 12, 26, 9, matype="sma") > 0;Returns
float
Range
fast_period and slow_period are always ema-bound (2-210) regardless of fast_matype/slow_matype (lfg/sf-stonql#373); signal_period is bound by matype's family: 2-210 ema (default), 2-105 wilder, or 2-400 windowed sma/wma
Notes
Moving average of the MACD line, used for crossover signals
