Image
 The EDGE This is a very powerful setup that we can follow with just 2 indicators present on all platforms : a moving average ( the line we want to trade ) a Donchian Channel ( use to define the Logic State ) This setups has 3 possible States : Looking for a Long ( when the market is trending up ) Looking for a Short ( when the market is trending down ) Neutral ( when market is sideways or consolidating ) The logic State is as follows : When the lower line of the donchian goes above the mobing average the system starts looking for a Long : When the upper line of the Donchian goes below the moving average, the system starts looking for a Short : Then we have multiple options to define an entry using different bar patterns.

Is the MACD an Awesome Indicator ?

How to use the MACD A comparisson with the Awesome Oscillator. 1) What is a MACD ? The MACD Indicator has 3 lines, so lets go one by one : MACD = Distance between 2 Exponential Moving Averages : EMA(Fast)-EMA(Slow) Average = an average of the MACD line : EMA(MACD,Smooth) Diff = Distance between the MACD and its Average : MACD - Avg That means that when the MACD crosses the zero, both moving averages are crossing. By the sign of the MACD we can also detect if the Fast Moving Average is above or Below the Slow Moving Average. This is a method to define if the Market is going up or down. As a comparisson, the Wiseman Awesome Oscillator does exactly the same but with SMA's instead of EMA's, and the periods are fixed to 5 & 34 The Awesome Oscillator has only one line, the equivalent to the MACD, but the MACD has another two lines : The Avg is an exponential moving average of the MACD line, so its the smoothed version of the MACD. This line is sometimes useful to create the EM...
