MACD

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) is calculated by subtracting the value of a 0.075 (26-period) exponential moving average from a 0.15 (12-period) exponential moving average.

Most analysts say that the MACD indicator is "the difference between 12-day and 26-day exponential moving averages." However, the indicator is really the difference between 0.15 and 0.075 exponential moving averages (whereas, when expressed in decimal form, the 12- and 26-day exponential moving averages are actually 0.153846 and 0.076923 exponential moving averages).

Syntax:

Public Function MACD(ByVal MACDIn() As Double, ByVal Lag1 As Long, ByVal Lag2 As Long) As Double

Parameters:

  • ByVal MACDIn() As Double
  • ByVal Lag1 As Long
  • ByVal Lag2 As Long

Example:

 

    Dim TA4Net As New TA4Net.CTAFunctions("YOUR-REGISTRATION-CODE")

    Dim Result() As Double

    Dim CloseValues() As Double

 

    ' loading values to array

    CloseValues = GetCloseValues()

    ' calculating Technical Analysis function

    Result = TA4Net.MACD(CloseValues, 12, 26)
