If you mean MACD, I mostly use 12-25-9. 13-34-89 would probably be OK on a longer term basis, but for trading the spoos I don't think it would be sensitive enough. Let me know if you find otherwise.

Hi Chip, What are the Bollinger Band numbers are you use to using One set we have so far from Frank is 13,34,89 Actually, I only look at those inputs for the MACD histogram. I don't look at bollinger bands much anymore... I used to though. When I used them -mainly for high-flying stocks- I plotted 10 days 2 SD, and 20 days 2 SD... I'd also compare arithmetic and exponential averages... just to make sure both were sort of showing the same thing... especially during congestion. If you want to look at MACD (13,34,89) intra-day, I think free live charts at quote.com can plot it now with variable inputs. FWIW, talk to you later Regards, Frank
