Discussions of MACD Usage

Recommended Posts

i use the macd with bollinger bands to help me spot extremes in the market and i trade those extremes in the direction of the trend. I use it on a 1.25 momentum chart on the es.

....looks like a great MACD.....just tried to download it, via copy the code & make a indicator in TS. Worked, as was verified, BUT.....what showed up on the chart was just '3' lines, but not the dotted lines as per the pic. Any ideas how to correct this? Can you post the "ELD" for it? Thx for the post.....

(3,10,16) ,the best MACD setup i have found after having tried atleast half a dozen setups...you just need to w8 1 day after the MACD crossover to realize if the reversal or swing is actual or not.....works on the daily charts and very good for doing swings...
