degapping is required.
Also use the third leading indicator Stoch (5, 2, 3) and the signal is @ 50%.
Indicators of two line charts are determined by the relationship of the two lines.
In MACD you will notice two opposite words. A set of six relations results. The six relations follow an order of events.
I posted an attachment for the benefit of a thread that had not learned about indicators and are following a set of CW myths instead. As usual, this interesting thread was closed. LOL...
I corrected the mistakes and made some changes. I used 25/75 for Stoc(14,1,3) for entry and Stoc(5,2,3) for exit. The result is improved. Here are the updated rocket criteria:
1. Long when macd(5,13,6) histogram >= 0.4 and stoc(14,1,3) K > 75 and stoc(14,1,3) D > 75 (K or D is crossing 75) and Vol>=Fast Pace
2. Short when macd(5,13,6) histogram <= -0.4 and stoc(14,1,3) K <25 and stoc(14,1,3) D < 25 (K or D is crossing 25) and Vol>=Fast Pace
3. Close long when stoc(5,2,3) K < 75
4. Close short when stoc(5,2,3) K > 25
I used stoc(5,2,3) K crossing 50 as an entry signal, but more losing trades resulted. I am still studying how to apply stoc(5,2,3).
Quote from jack hershey:
MACD and stochastics are mathematical names. The key words are divergence, convergence and stochastics. They all apply to the relationship of the two lines.
....
How many cases are considered for the two line relationship?
....
So three points in time suffice to show the two lines on each indicator. For each indicator only six alternative triad cases have to be considered when the first element is limited to D or C. always the middle of the triad is NOT D or C.
....
There are 4 cases for the two line relationship (Please see the attachment):
1. Convergence (C)
2. Divergence (D)
3. Crossover (X)
4. Parallel (which rarely happens)
The 6 triad cases (The 1st element is either C or D and the middle element is X) are:
CXX, CXD, CXC, DXX, DXD, DXC
I am still figuring out how these triad cases relates to the order of events. Do these 6 relations refer to B2B2R2B and R2R2B2R?
