## Description

This MCP server provides advanced technical analysis tools for trend-following using the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. It identifies early trend reversals by detecting crossovers when the MACD line is below zero for BUY signals and above zero for SELL signals. The strategy includes momentum confirmation via histogram analysis and provides precise risk management parameters including entry prices, stop-loss levels based on ATR, and 3:1 reward-to-risk take-profit targets. Use `calculate_macd_signals` to generate full signal series, `evaluate_signal_quality` to assess trend strength, and `get_volatility_metrics` for risk parameters.
