Arpeet MACD Strategy

The Arpeet MACD strategy trades MACD crossovers with a zero-line filter. A long signal appears when the MACD line crosses above the signal line while remaining below zero. A short signal occurs when the MACD crosses below the signal line above zero.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: MACD crosses above signal and MACD < 0.
    • Short: MACD crosses below signal and MACD > 0.
  • Stops: None.
  • Default Values:
    • FastLength = 12
    • SlowLength = 26
    • SignalLength = 9
  • Filters:
    • Category: Indicator
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: MACD
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Low
    • Timeframe: Any
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
