Monty, Somewhere I believe you said never trade against the grain of MACD, at least I thought I saw that so I ask your forgiveness in advance if I'm mistaken. Are you using MACD as a directional filter -- only taking trades that agree with the direction of MACD? but waiting for a separate primary signal before entering? TIA for the help. Mechanical Method

even i dont follow my signals 100% mechanically. i have to use trendlines and S&R to help me. my momentum indicator might give buys and sells but it doesn't account for trade risk and reward (that's where trendlines/s&r can help) i have one particular Parabolic SAR setting that does well. but i only use it when I'm IN the trade. I dont use the signal to ENTER trades.. only exit them. i might post some pics of it too. too bad qcharts doesn't have SAR.. metastock does.
