L’idée en termes simples

When MACD pulls away from its signal line, momentum is accelerating; when they come together, it is slowing. OsMA shows that gap directly, so turns are easy to see.

Mode de calcul

MACD minus its signal line.

OsMA = MACD − Signal = (EMA12 − EMA26) − SMA(MACD, 9)

Comment l’utiliser

  • OsMA crossing zero is the same moment as MACD crossing its signal line.
  • Shrinking bars warn that a move is slowing before a crossover happens.

Tirer des conclusions

  • Divergences between OsMA and the price are an early warning of trend fatigue.

Exemple

During a rally, OsMA bars shrink for five candles while the price still edges higher: momentum is fading.

Les prix des exemples sont donnés à titre d’illustration.

Points de vigilance

  • Very quick to change; best used as a timing aid with a broader trend view.
