MACD Signals from Line Crossovers and Price Crossovers

Summary

This brief indicator description outlines several signal types derived from MACD. It groups them by whether MACD is above or below zero, whether the MACD line crosses its signal line, and whether MACD crosses the closing price.

The document names these conditions but does not define entry or exit rules, specify MACD settings, or explain how the signals should be combined. It provides no backtest, performance evidence, or risk controls, so it serves as a high-level signal overview rather than a complete trading strategy.

Key ideas

• MACD sign can be used to distinguish positive and negative indicator regimes.
• Crossovers between the MACD line and signal line form one class of signals.
• Crossovers between MACD and closing prices form another proposed signal class.
• The description does not provide rules for trading or evaluating these signals.
