# Simple MACD strategy
#
# MACD may be used in many ways, this will demonstrate a trend indicator.
# 
# traditionally, when the MACD signal crosses zero, this indicated a establishment of a positive trend
#
# we'll buy on positive treshold crossover of the 'signal' column, and sell on negative threshold crossover
