<< --There are two lines, red and blue. The red line is the "fast" line, the blue a bit slower. You are
looking for events where the red crosses the blue and indicates a shift in momentum. Red crossing
blue going upward when both are below the center line seems to be more powerful as a buy signal,
while red crossing blue going down when both are in the top half is more powerful as a sell signal.
Any time the red crosses the blue going up it can be a buy, and a cross going down can be a sell. >>

Dale, I'm no expert, but when I use MACD, the red line crossing the blue above the 0line is a much better strength of trend indicator. Look at a chart like AOL and see what I mean. Very strong positive trend. This works as well for a sell signal (below the 0line).
