Using what's in the books and magazines, MACD is a good overall 
indicator, but it's probably better for entry than exit. So you might 
want to use something else for exits, and that calls for 
experimentation to find what you're comfortable with.

Using what's not in books but being talked about, look at adaptive 
indicators. Mark Jurik's blackbox indicators are worth it, if he ever 
makes a MetaStock version. I saw a demo where somebody took a plain 
old EMA crossover system, which underperformed Buy&Hold of course, and 
he substituted the JMA of price for raw price.  The system suddenly 
outperformed Buy&Hold by a wider margin than it had underperformed. 
Now that's an indicator worth exploring!
