function main() {
    var records = exchange.GetRecords()
    if (!records) return
    var ret = talib.MACD(records)

Returns

Type	Description
array	Two-dimensional array: [MACD line array, signal line array, histogram array] (a tuple in the same order in Python).

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
inReal	`Record` array / numeric array	Yes	K-line array (close prices are used) or numeric array; in Python, pass a numeric array such as `records.Close`.
optInFastPeriod	number	No	Fast period. Default `12`.
optInSlowPeriod	number	No	Slow period. Default `26`.
optInSignalPeriod	number	No	Signal line period. Default `9`.
