Examples

Compute the MACD with Controllable MA Type from the latest K-lines.

javascript
python


    javascript
    
    
function main() {
    var records = exchange.GetRecords()
    if (!records) return
    var ret = talib.MACDEXT(records)
    // Output: [MACD line array, signal line array, histogram array]
    Log(ret)
}


    python
    
    
import talib
def main():
    records = exchange.GetRecords()
    if not records:
        return
    ret = talib.MACDEXT(records.Close)
    # Output: (MACD line array, signal line array, histogram array)
    Log(ret)

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`.
optInFastMAType	number	No	Moving average type of the fast line; see the MAType table on the `Talib` page. Default `0` (SMA).
optInSlowPeriod	number	No	Slow period. Default `26`.
optInSlowMAType	number	No	Moving average type of the slow line; see the MAType table on the `Talib` page. Default `0` (SMA).
optInSignalPeriod	number	No	Signal line period. Default `9`.
optInSignalMAType	number	No	Moving average type of the signal line; see the MAType table on the `Talib` page. Default `0` (SMA).
