What it does
Outputs the MACD line (fast EMA − slow EMA), its signal line, and the histogram (their difference).
What happens
All three series update each candle. Warmup is roughly the slow period plus the signal period.
When to use
Momentum-shift entries (MACD crossing its signal line) or histogram-based filters.
