The MACD indicator (or oscillator) is one of the best indicators for identifying trends and reversals in the financial markets. The MACD strategy in its most basic form involves using the crossing of the smoothed out signal line over the MACD line as your entry or exit point for a trade.

The best MACD setting for day trading often uses a faster configuration, such as 3-10-16, to capture quick price movements. While the default 12-26-9 is popular, shorter settings can improve sensitivity to intraday trends. Optimal settings vary by strategy and asset volatility.
