The MAC strategy is a trading strategy that utilizes technical indicators to generate buy and sell signals. Here's a brief description of what the strategy does:
It first populates various indicators for the given dataframe, including RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and EMA (Exponential Moving Average) with different time periods. The buy signal is determined based on the following conditions:
The 20-day EMA (ema20) is greater than the 50-day EMA (ema50).
The previous value of ema20 is less than the previous value of ema50.
The volume is greater than 0 (to ensure it's not 0).
The sell signal is determined based on the following conditions:
The 20-day EMA (ema20) is less than the 50-day EMA (ema50). The previous value of ema20 is greater than the previous value of ema50. The volume is greater than 0 (to ensure it's not 0). The strategy calculates these buy and sell signals based on the indicators and stores the results in the 'buy' and 'sell' columns of the dataframe, respectively. This information can be used for backtesting trading strategies on the website.
