In this Excel tutorial, you will learn how to calculate the MACD indicator in Excel using exponential moving averages and create trading signals for technical analysis.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is a popular technical analysis tool used in stock trading and other financial markets to identify potential buy and sell signals. The MACD is calculated as the difference between two moving averages, the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the 12-day EMA, and is often plotted along with a 9-day EMA of the MACD line, known as the signal line.

Here’s how to calculate the MACD indicator in Microsoft Excel:

In Excel, you can calculate the integral average, also known as a definite integral, by using the Sumproduct function.

Excel can approximate the definite integral of a dataset using the SUMPRODUCT function, implementing the trapezoidal rule. The trapezoidal rule approximates the area under a curve by dividing it into a series of trapezoids, where each trapezoid’s area is determined by the average height of its two vertical sides multiplied by its width.
