whatever the system is i would test if it suits me for some time eh?
 
divergence is cool, but it doesnt work all the time, whats more i suppose it fails generally.
 
what i found out is especially if the market is trending the divrgence trading fails. but if the market is not trending (terminology by wilder) divergence trading works.
 
my problem is finding out a solid indicator to see if market is trending or not...
maybe a composite indicator i dunno...
 
superfraga gave a very different angle to my problem. he said it is not important to catch the tred, more important is that you get on it at a point and not leave early..
 
i have to think about it but still my life would be much easier if i caolu find something to see if market is treding or not. : ))
 
whatever discussio we have we should preserve the friendly atmosphere here, right?
 
cheers

Subject: [Metastockusers] RE:MACD Histogram Divergence kit satisfaction

To me a complete trading system means that it is totally mechanical and you
take every entry and exit signal.  I have not found any "complete" system
that works with MetaStock.



However, while trying to use the MACDH system for my EOD futures trading I
have found several errors in it.  Many times, it fails to generate signals
when there is in fact divergence; it generates signals when there is no
divergence; and the MACDH Exploration at times returns signals that are not
identified by the MACDH Expert.  Also, the documentation is horribly lacking
and while this 'system' claims to be a MACD Histogram system, nowhere in any
of the documentation or in communication with Jose will he provide that
formula for the MACD Histogram



While Jose is a MetaStock savant, he becomes a raving maniac when you point
out the errors of his system and refuses to investigate them claiming that
his MACDH is "perfect" - as is.  That is, he believes it has no errors.



If you wish to view divergence, you can plot the MACD Histogram (formula
below) and watch it for yourself.  You do not need the MACDH software.  The
MACD Histogram system is vastly overpriced, has many errors, and support is
very much lacking.  The Walter Bressert system runs circles around it and is
much, much cheaper.

The MetaStock formula for the MACD Histogram is:



( Mov( C,12,E ) - Mov( C,26,E ) ) - Mov( ( Mov( C,12,E ) - Mov(
C,26,E ) ),9,E )

Sorry for my humble question but isn't that more sensible and more
marketable to sell it as a complete trading systems?
