Transcript

Wait. Don't scroll. I know you don't know me, but I'm about to give you some free ass game. Hold on. Now I bet you money. Y'all was told how to use the MACD indicator incorrectly. I bet money. Wait. I'm gonna show you. Hold on. So if you click on settings, these are the factory settings. Now I bet somebody told you, hey, when the MACD signal line crosses over the MACD line, it's a buy. When it crosses under, it's a sell. As you can see, it's bearish. Above the zero line there, it's bullish. Below the zero line there, it's bearish. Also, you can use this for divergences. If the stock makes a new low and the MACD doesn't make a new low, that's a divergence. If a stock makes a new high and the MACD does not make a new high, that's a divergence, which means that the stock is about to turn around and go the other way. Now, use this information wisely. Use this indicator wisely. It's for momentum, not for crossovers. Don't do that to yourself. I promise you, it works. But only if you use it properly.
