Median Convergence Divergence
The Median Convergence Divergence ( MCD ) is a derivative of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence ( MACD ). The difference is the change in the use of the measure of central tendency. In MACD , moving average (mean) is used, whereas, in MCD , the median is used instead. The purpose of using the median is to eliminate the outlying values, which would be calculated for a moving average. The outliers would affect the value of the moving average.
