Well, tops and bottoms are usually treated the same manner.
A great example : An MACD divergence PLUS a stochastic divergence at o/b situations is an excellent Sell signal, if you are lucky to meet them the same day. Exactly the same at o/s levels.

i've found that any blanket statement about the market is usually false.

if you are looking to confirm what you see in moving averages in price, then the MACD is ONE good tool. it, by definition, is constructed by two exponentially moving averages. try looking at the two individual emas and the MACD with those emas at the same time and you will see how it works.

That is the only use I found for them but I did not try too hard to find other uses. I optimized them together and use them like a pattern both for short and long entries. The Stochastic-RSI looks like it gives earlier indications though, haven't investigated it yet.

Could you please illustrate it with a chart or two as to how you use RSI first and Stochastics next and MACD for confirmation?

Also what look back period would you recommend using for each of the indicators.

Thanks a million.

RSI-STOS-MACD

in that order
rsi moves 1st then stos then use macd as a confrirmation.

Depends on settings - for RSI and Stoch. Both can be set for sensitive response or slow response.
