Class MovingAverageConvergenceDivergence

Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is the difference between Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of Short period data, and EMA of Long period data, that is: EMA(price short period) - EMA(price long period). The Signal line is Signal period EMA of MACD. Histogram shows the difference between MACD and Signal (MACD - Signal).

Methods

dispose

getName

  • Gets the indicator name.

    Returns string

    The indicator name.

setHistogramColors

  • Sets the colors for the histogram.

    Parameters

    • positiveStrongColor: string

      The positive strong color for Histogram.

    • positiveWeakColor: string

      The positive weak color for Histogram.

    Returns void

setLineWidth

  • Sets the width of the MACD and Signal lines.

    Parameters

    • newWidth: number

      New line width.

    Returns void

setMACDLineColor

  • Sets the color of the MACD line.

    Parameters

    • newColor: string

      New line color as string, should be in HEX format e.g. #FFFFFF.

    Returns void

setName

  • Sets the name of the indicator.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      New indicator name.

    Returns void

setOffset

  • Moves the indicator from its calculated position forward or backward.

    Parameters

    • newOffset: number

      New offset value.

    Returns void

setPeriodCounts

  • Sets the numbers of time periods (n) used to calculate the indicator.

    Parameters

    • longPeriodCount: number

      New long period count.

    • shortPeriodCount: number

      New short period count.

    • signalPeriodCount: number

      New signal period count.

    Returns void

setSignalLineColor

  • Sets the color of the Signal line.

    Parameters

    • newColor: string

      New line color as string, should be in HEX format e.g. #FFFFFF.

    Returns void

setSource

  • Sets which values the indicator calculations are based on.

    Parameters

    • source: Source

      Values to base the calculations on.

    Returns void

setValueLabelType

  • Sets the type of the indicator's value label(s).

    Parameters

    Returns void
