Users can configure independent EMA and MACD parameter settings for long and short rules. A long signal occurs when price trades above the buy EMA and the buy MACD line crosses above its signal line below zero. A short signal is generated when price trades below the sell EMA and the sell MACD crosses under its signal line above zero. The indicator plots EMA lines, a colored fill between them, and entry label shapes.
