MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) is a classic trend-following momentum indicator introduced by Gerald Appel in 1979. It computes the difference (DIF) between a short-term and long-term EMA, plus a signal line (DEA), to identify momentum shifts and trend reversals. In quantitative trading, MACD is widely used for trend confirmation, golden/death cross signals, and divergence analysis — making it one of the most common indicators in factor models and backtesting strategies.
