Technical Indicators
- Title
- What is a moving average convergence divergence (MACD)?
- Technical Indicators Category
Technical Indicators
- Description
- MACD is the gap between a fast and a slow exponential moving average, plotted with its own signal line. Massive returns three numbers per point: the MACD value, the signal, and the histogram between them.
- Title
- What is a relative strength index (RSI)?
- Technical Indicators Category
Technical Indicators
- Description
- RSI is a number between 0 and 100 measuring how one-sided recent price moves have been. Above 70 is conventionally read as overbought and below 30 as oversold. Massive computes it on the RSI endpoint.
- Title
- What is a simple moving average (SMA)?
- Technical Indicators Category
Technical Indicators
- Description
- A simple moving average is the plain average of the last N closing prices, recalculated as each new bar arrives. Massive computes it for you on the SMA endpoint, so you pass a ticker, a timespan and a window rather than pulling bars and averaging them.
- Title
- What is an exponential moving average (EMA)?
- Technical Indicators Category
Technical Indicators
- Description
- An exponential moving average weights recent prices more heavily than older ones, so it turns faster than a simple average of the same length. Massive computes it on the EMA endpoint from a ticker, a timespan and a window.
- Title
- What is implied volatility (IV)?
- Options Category
Options
- Technical Indicators Category
Technical Indicators
- Description
- The volatility figure that makes an option pricing model return the option's actual market price. It is the market's expectation of how much the underlying will move, backed out of the price rather than measured from history. Massive returns it on the options snapshot.
