I presume you are referring to the lagged relationship between the signal and its moving average in a MACD.  This lag is useful and when removed, the notion of crossover moving averages falls apart.  This is apparently your complaint.

Here is the proper way to use JMA in a MACD.  Because JMA has little lag, use it as a proxy for price itself.  That is, let JMA replace the price line and now take a simple moving average of JMA.  Because the proxy line is smooth, you can follow it with a tight trailing average line without fear of getting excessive crossovers from market noise.  This tight relationship enables you to get early crossovers.

What a vivid description!  I like it!
