Theory:

So, let’s break this down a bit. This concept actually hails from another trading platform, but the name we use here captures its essence perfectly. The core idea is pretty straightforward: we leverage the fact that the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) reacts more quickly than the Simple Moving Average (SMA). This allows us to construct a MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator using a single period, rather than the typical two-period setup used in traditional MACD calculations, which usually involves both a fast and a slow average. In this case, the signal line is derived from an SMA.

Usage:

You can utilize this indicator just like any other MACD variant. It’s all about timing your trades right and spotting those potential entry and exit points in the market.
