That's certainly true.They thought a MACD cross would be their path to riches. Think about it. You're going up against the likes of Renaissance Technologies. If it were as accessible as a MACD cross and maybe a stochastic divergence, would Renaissance be hiring all those MIT Ph.Ds? Writing as...

Again, you can't. Which says something about people selling systems. Anyone looking for a "red light, green light" methodology will not find what they're looking for. That said, coaching can be invaluable. If you're going to study a musical instrument, you're going to pay for a teacher to...
