I am new to trading and day trade the FTSE 100, and was advised to use the following macd settings 12, 26, 5 which seems to work well. My question is does the last setting (in my case 5) make much difference. it seems it only changes the size of the macd bar. i use the macd switch from green to red (or visa versa) as a signal and then check the candles so changing the last figure just slightly delays entering a trade so a slightly higher macd such as 7 or 9 may help to delay entry and thus give a stronger signal. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mark - mark@switch2save.co.uk Hi, useful article thanks.
