MacdDiv Parameters
Name Default Definition
Page 541
N 1 Number of divergence patterns that are needed to produce a signal.
Most only need 1 and will not produce signals if increased.
Period 5 Qualifies a propriety area within which signals do not have to be
symmetrical.
MA Period 1 This second period refers to the variable of the moving average.
Setting it to a number beyond 1 means that the average is being
used as the divergence tool and not the original indicator. A period of
9 would reflect the standard default for the Macd.
Lookback 50 Qualifies the lookback period for when divergence can occur within.
Increasing the number will normally increase the number of
divergence signals and for slow moving indicators should be raised
from the default.
MA Type Sim Qualifies the type of moving average to be used.
MacdDivDn High Qualifies the relationship within the change in direction of the
indicator and the subsequent bar value to be recorded at that point.
MacdDivUp Low Qualifies the relationship within the change in direction of the
indicator and the subsequent bar value to be recorded at that point.
MA1 Period 13.000 Macd variable to be used in the divergence calculation providing the
Period of the Ma is set at 1.
MA2 Period 26.000 Macd variable to be used in the divergence calculation providing the
Period of the Ma is set at 1.
