11 באוק׳ 2018

When running MACD, it can be useful to compare the value of the MA difference to other values. In other words, is a particular stock or futures contract at a more extreme MACD value than another. This can be done by dividing by the price, however, that doesn't adjust for volatility differences. Using ATR, one can adjust for price and volatility at the same time, allowing comparisons between securities more easily.
