If you have a checking account, of course you balance it periodically to account for any differences between what’s in your statement and what you wrote down for checks and deposits. Many people do it once a month when their statement is mailed to them, but with the advent of online banking, you can do it daily if you’re the sort whose banking tends to get away from them.

You balance your checkbook to note any charges in your checking account that you haven’t recorded in your checkbook. Some of these can include ATM fees, overdraft fees, special transaction fees or low balance fees, if you’re required to keep a minimum balance in your account. You also balance your checkbook to record any credits that you haven’t noted previously. They might include automatic deposits, or refunds or other electronic deposits. Your checking account might be an interest-bearing account and you want to record any interest that it’s earned.

One of the ways forex traders determine when to buy or sell is by a method known as technical analysis.  While some traders use a method called fundamental analysis, which employs factors such as politics, current events, and the state of world economies, technical analysts are concerned solely with prices past and present.  By using formulas and calculating various lines and indicators, these traders are able to project into the future and make an educated guess as to what the price of a given currency will do.  And nearly all of these indicators have certain defining moments that tell one when to act.

With the Moving Average Convergence / Divergence (MACD), a technical analyst plots on a price chart two lines representing closing price moving averages of different lengths, typically 12 and 26 days.  The MACD line is plotted using the difference between these two moving averages, and a second line called a “signal” is formed by taking a nine day moving average of the MACD line.  It is the interaction between these two lines that create triggers telling the trader when to act, and one of these defining moments comes when the lines cross, as it indicates that there will likely be a change in trend.  When the MACD line crosses up through the signal line, this is the trigger to buy, and one should sell when the signal line crosses up through the MACD line.
