In Forex, we use MACD for Convergence & Divergence.
Divergence means disagreement, Convergence means agreement.
MACD should be the same with price action, therefore when price makes a new high, so do MACD. If the pattern is not repeated, then you'll have a Divergence.
Divergence is the strongest technical analysis in Forex. Let's check the 2 Divergence : Bullish Divergence & Bearish Divergence.
Example: Bullish Divergence for USD/JPY, Daily Chart.

May you please further elaborate MACD like how to apply...... when not to apply ...... Any good method to improve it?
I apply & study MACD regularly. I think, it's hard to be workable as a entry and exit signal.
However, it serves as an excellent trend confirmer, especially after a position is established.
I'll post another topic again about technical analysis..Please continue to support..thanks.
