jbesr1230 28 posts msg #35987 - Ignore jbesr1230	5/12/2005 11:48:06 PM Hello All, I've been reading about MACD and most sources site crossing the zero line as an indicator of strength. I don't understand this. Why does crossing the zero line mean anything different than a crossover of the moving averages -- whether below zero or above zero? Thanks
brokedown 21 posts msg #35993 - Ignore brokedown	5/13/2005 6:09:25 PM MACD is a measure of trend. Increasing means stronger trend. Crossing above zero simple means a stronger trend. Moving averages can be used as a measure of trend also. Both are lagging. All the MACD does is combine moving averages into one indicator for ease of sight. Tom
