Same standard (12, 26, 9) MACD
Also you can try (6, 13, 9) MACD for faster signals.

Hello all,

How successful is this system? Are there anyone using only this system and making good profits? If yes, how many pips per week? Thank you all so very much.

Also, can you suggest MACD values for the AUDJPY 15m and 1H charts?

Edward, Edward,
You're the man! You're the bomb! This is absolutely the most mind-blowing website for solid training in fx trading I've ever been to! On behalf of all of us who've been frustrated by the assorted sharks and grifters selling us crap for big bucks - Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! (Sigh.)

Seriously though, I've had little success finding good MACD values for the USDJPY 15m chart. Any suggestions?

I've found (01, 03, 16) on the 15m GBPJPY gives some good signals...so far.

Don't stop the good stuff!

A signal line just have to produce a cross of any type - when it crosses from above and goes downwards - we sell; when it crosses from below and heads upwards - we buy.

If you still have doubts about MACD cross signals, you can upload your screenshot and we will look at it together.

Hi Ed -

The best Macd signals occur with the convergence or divergence of the macd graph. Ie: when the macd graph shows a low then a higher low while the price is moving the opposite dir. Conversely - when the macd graph shows a high, then a lower high while the price is rising, you can expect a sharp drop in the price.

Hello Wes,

When MACD signal line (gray) crosses over MACD line (blue) downwards and this cross appears above MACD zero line, it is a signal to Sell.

When MACD signal line crosses MACD line upwards from below and the cross is below zero line, it is a signal to Buy.

Edward

HELLO, when MACD appears above and below zero line , how does one decide which point (above or below )should be used to place an order

Remcurrence,

pip levels on MACD histogram? Did you mean how to change settings for MACD?
If so, you'd need to RightClick on indicator and form the menu choose "Edit settings" and type in your own numbers.

If you want to draw somethig on MACD, for example a trend line or highlight a zero level etc, you simply use drawing tools available at your trading platform; I often use simple Trend line tool.

hallo good people, I was just wondering how to set pip levels on the Macd histogram. Thanking you in advance.

Regards, Remcurrence.

Hi Jatin,

These numbers for MACD are found through testing and experimenting. The way you do it, you simply pick a currency pair and a time frame and start "playing" with MACD settings till you get the most in your opinion accurate, fast and winning signals.

While there are many different suggestions about what MACD settings are the best, there is still a general rule of thumb: using the settings suggested by the author of the indicator is the most beneficial. Firstly, because no one probably has done more research on the indicator behaviour than the author of the indicator; secondly, because majority of Forex traders prefer using standard settings suggested for indicators, which enables them to see the same picture of the market and react to market changes all at the same time.

Hope this helps in your own research.

Edward
