In daily spot trading, the parameter settings of the MACD indicator are very important for improving trading accuracy. According to search results, here are some MACD parameter settings that are considered relatively precise:
Default parameters: The default parameters for the MACD indicator in most candlestick chart software are 12, 26, 9, which means the fast EMA parameter is set to 12, the slow EMA parameter is set to 26, and the DIF parameter is set to 9. This parameter setting is suitable for most financial markets and is ideal for beginners to use directly.
Optimized parameters: Some experienced investors use MACD parameters 5, 35, 5, where the core of this custom parameter is 5, with a short-term moving average parameter of 5 and a signal line parameter also of 5. This setting is suitable for financial products with high price volatility or short-term trading strategies, capturing more trading opportunities.
Parameters with high practical value: Through continuous testing, analysts have summarized that the MACD indicator for price H1 (60 minutes) has two sets of parameters with relatively high practical value, which are: (6, 30, 6) and (6, 30, 9). The MACD indicators set with these two sets of parameter values show significant performance changes in sensitivity to price trends or early warnings of future price trend changes.
Impact of parameter size: The smaller the MACD line parameters, the more sensitive the indicator is to price changes, but there are also more false signals; the larger the parameters, the more sluggish the indicator is to price changes, but it is also more accurate and stable.
In summary, there is no absolutely perfect parameter setting. Investors should continuously experiment and adjust MACD parameters based on their investment style, trading cycle, the investment varieties they focus on, and market conditions to find the settings that suit them best. At the same time, the MACD indicator should also be combined with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis to make more comprehensive and accurate investment decisions.
