Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) of a security’s price. This indicator was created in the 1970s and gained wide popularity among traders due to its simple rules of use and good performance.

The relative strength index (RSI) is a widely used technical analysis tool that helps traders evaluate the momentum of a security's price changes. By measuring the magnitude and speed of recent price changes, RSI can identify potential overbought or oversold conditions in the security's price.

Using a unique system of multi-level backtests and a proprietary method for analyzing volatility and price dynamics of stocks, our team of quants created an effective strategy for using these indicators.
