MACD — Moving Average Convergence Divergence

What it measures: Trend momentum (the difference between a fast and slow EMA)

When to use it: MACD line > 0 = bullish momentum; use Threshold(> 0) as a trend filter, or Compare against Lag to see momentum accelerating/fading

Typical period: 12/26 (fixed in this node)

Caution: This node only gives the MACD line — no signal line/histogram yet; a signal-line crossover requires Python eject

Formula the engine actually uses

MACD line = ema(close,12) − ema(close,26) — this node only gives the MACD line (no signal/histogram)

smoothing: EMA fast 12 / slow 26 · warmup: ~78 (3×26)
