Top Comments of this video!! :3
The current market/economy is unnecessarily tougher for boomers/senior citizens, Iâm used to just buying and holding assets which doesnât seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. Iâm really worried about survival after retirement.

I've been giving the MACD my undivided attention for the past 3 months, ever since I realized its versatility. The default settings were designed for a specific market. I think what's missing in a lot of guides is knowing how to tune your own settings for your own application. People are overly focused on crossovers. What really helped me was to plot the MAs on the chart and adjust the lengths so that they line up with what YOU are looking for in price action.
I trade forex and I like to hold trades for about 2 hours. So I put an EMA on a 5m chart and started adjusting the length so that the peaks and troughs of a typical move were roughly 2 hours apart. That's what I use for my slow MA in the MACD. Because of this, historical highs or lows of the MACD line tend to line up with when MY setup is overextended. That tells me exactly when I want to exit.
I also use a higher timeframe MACD as a larger trend filter. The possibilities are endless when you dive into the underlying components of the MACD and bend them to your vision. The histogram is useful for certain things as well.
The Anti setup looks interesting and I'll start watching for it in my markets as well. Thanks for the video!

First I want to thank you Garrett for the content that you have been making on indicators and how to use them. I especially liked the one on RSI and 0dte. Please continue to make the videos, but not only you but all the team at SMB, I really appreciate it.
I did make an observation on the examples you used in this video...in the trades that worked the Avg line had just crossed 0 and was still on that side of the zero line. I use the Macd all the time and I've noticed that pullbacks or retracements work better when the Avg line has crossed and is on your desired side of the market. Again thanks for everyhing, please continue!!!

Big fan of Lindaâs work. Iâve been using this indicator for years, but with exponential maâs. I find it works best when the signal line is on the same side of the zero line as the new trend...... i.e above zero for a potential long trade and vice versa. The signal line tends to stay on the same side of the zero line as long as the trend is intact. So subsequent anti type setups may occur in an extended trend, but with a lower probability of success.

I'm very grateful for the educational videos ! I earned my Series 3 license in 2001, not a great time to start in the financial sector. I am working on my trading skills as my fiancée put me in charge of a 200k account to achieve profitability. Your team has taught me so much more in the past 24 hours than any other presentation. Thank You!

I spent the 1st 3-5 years of my trading career trying to find the âholy grailâ of indicators that would help be successful in my trades. Them, I just realized that price action was all I needed. The market is speaking! But, are you listening?

Although I've been trading for 25 years I took the last ten years off. I made a few trades now an then but they were mostly 2/3 week swing trades. 3 or 4 months ago I decided to start trading options and went into reeducation mode. During this period I've watch 50 plus of SMB's video's and haven't subscribed but I did after this one. I've been experimenting with MACD for 8 or 10 weeks and just couldn't tweet it to fit my trading style. This gives me that exact info I've been looking for. I started live trading 3 weeks ago and currently have a 77% win rate with win dollars 5 times that of lose dollars. I think this will improve my trading. Can't thank you enough.

This is a variation of head and shoulders pattern. Any bullish trend tends to reverse with a head and shoulders pattern. So is true for bear trends but with an inverse head and shoulders. For bullish patterns, if the pattern fails then there's continuity to the trend otherwise when the right shoulder has formed by having a lower swing high than the head trapping bulls and there's an up trend line break connecting the right and left neck line that's when the head and shoulder tends to deliver on it's probability. There are a miriad of ways to skin this cat. Great video from SMB. Thanks for the upload.

I tried the 3-9-5 MACD setup yesterday (Friday) as my buy/sell signal, my first time to use MACD. I used IWM price action on the 1 minute chart, but I bought and sold calls and puts expiring Monday instead of IWM shares. I was very very happy with these first little test trades. Very interested in getting more comfortable with MACD and using it daily.
