A Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator is a trend-following momentum indicator that depicts the relationship between two price-moving averages. Traders use the MACD to determine whether bullish or bearish momentum is strong in order to determine when to enter and exit transactions.
The simple moving average is a popular tool that can benefit both short-term traders and long-term investors. The SMA smooths out price data by averaging a security's price over a certain length of time. It is drawn as a single line on a chart and is helpful in identifying trends.
