Its called learning price action, and it would be most helpful if you removed any lagging indicators from your screen.
What software are you using. If it's anything decent, and not google or MSN money or soemthing, your indicator is real time.
The only thing you can do is reduce the number of bars(length) used in your MACD's calculation. This will 'speed up' the indicator so to speak.
May or may not give you the results you want.
qwert, swordsman is completely correct.
Yes qwert, swordsman is absolutely correct.
It's the old conumdrum of figuring out something which is very simple by going through an extremely complicated process.
As with everthing, it is the traders discipline (or actually, lack of it) that will create the rope which hangs himself.
However, please do not take our word for it. I think you should spend the next 2 or 3 years trying out your other options, just so you can find out for yourself.
This is the type of vague yet self-congratulatory psychobabble I see a lot of on this site. And it gives no assistance whatsoever to the OP. Price action is important, but advising him to take indicators off the screen is something you're encouraging him to do without helping. What specific actions are you helping him with? Nothing.
Here's a challenge: post something SPECIFIC and "very simple" in terms of price action that has personally helped you trade profitably.
