The MACD 3 Color Oscillator is a commonly used technical analysis tool in MetaTrader 4. This tool significantly helps traders identify the strength and direction of price trends.
The MACD 3 Color Oscillator consists of two phases: positive and negative. The fluctuation of the signal line, along with the color change of the histogram in these two phases, determines whether the trend is bullish or bearish.
The color change and separation of the signal line from the histogram can provide a signal for entry or exit in trades.
