Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD, or MAC-D) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages (EMAs) of a security’s price.
To use this in AlgoVue, first click “+”, then choose Complex Conditional, where the condition is the comparison of two technical indicators. You can now choose a moving average, or a exponential moving average, define its windows, and the condition will evaluate to true when the crossover occurs.

Lets try a a simple pairs trading strategy. Coke vs Pepsi. The assumption is that coke and pepsi must have securities that have a price relationship. So, lets check the performance of COKE vs PEP in the last 5 trading days. If COKE is performing better, buy COKE, otherwise buy PEP.
wow! this strategy got +253% from 2015-2021, beating just coke or just pepsi alone, and also beating the S&P 500! will this continue to perform well in the future? are there any other obvious pairs we can trade like this? its up to you to decide.

Lets try a strategy where we buy the dips for NASDAQ. What do we count as a dip? Lets say If the 5 day cumulative return is less than -5%. If there is a dip, lets by TQQQ, a 3x leaverages version of NASDAQ. lets also make sure we are not coming out a dip, or if the 1 day return is less then 5%. To do this, we insert a nested If/Else statement inside another If/Else statement to combine the two conditions. For the Else condition, we can leave empty, to just hold cash and do nothing.
wow! this strategy is on par with NASDAQ itself, and even narrowly beating out S&P 500 from the years 2015-2022, while only holding TQQQ a tiny percentage of the time, as we can see from the performance graph. This strategy is based on the idea of mean reversion, which states that a price has a tendancy to revert to its mean, after a big movement, like a dip.

Lets try a Filter and select strategy. In this example, we will look at 9 of the biggest tech stocks from 2015-2022. We will sort them by their performance from the past 20 trading days and buy and hold the top 2.
wow! this strategy got +1301% from the years 2015 to the end of 2021. This strategy performs better than any of the 9 stocks individually! why does this work? Tech companies often have performances that have a bit of momentum, for example maybe they are betting on a new technology or launched a new product and it is paying off, and the market is slowly realizing how well its going, as consumers are buying in and boosting their quarterly revenue. Of course, 2015-2022 was a great time for tech stocks, will this strategy continue to perform well? who knows, its up to you. Maybe you can start with this idea and apply them to different industries, and tweak the performance criteria and parameters.
