Going ahead into the month of September, which stocks can be potential winners? Here we have hand-picked 5 stocks that have given a ‘Buy’ signal on the daily chart based on MACD – (Moving Average Convergence-Divergence) – parameter.
Know more about MACD…
MACD is a key technical momentum indicator, which helps in ascertaining the price trend of an underlying stock or index. The MACD is plotted as two lines – MACD line and a signal line. The MACD line is the difference between two set exponential moving averages, while the signal line is the average of the last nine days MACD line.
Thus, as and when the MACD line crosses the signal line a ‘Buy’ signal is generated and vice versa.
