      The lesson from this is to stop over optimizing your strategies. Just follow the EMA crossovers and support resistance on longer time charts and you should be ok. Else be a broker

    Rsi and macd is the best combo...
    Buy when rsi moves above 60 and macd gives buy signal...
    And for sell do opposite.
    I tested it and it gave good results

    Thank you for the free content, i learned alot from your videos. There is however a flaw in the description of the MACD in this video i believe you got mixed up. at 1:23 you explain the two lines as the 12 EMA and the 26 EMA. This is incorrect. The first line, the "MACD line" is the 12 EMA minus the 26 EMA. The second line is simply a 9day EMA of the MACD Line called the signal line. Again thank you for the content.

    This is my second time watching this video. The degree, scope and complexity of the MACD with Histogram is a study in and of itself. Having a the ability to view this indicator along with the candlestick chart and V-wap gives a much clearer picture of what your jumping into. This is pretty key. It's pretty key if you want to scalp options. This is all great information to go into the trade with.

      Most RSI Settings are 30-50-70. Above 50 and bouncing off of a 50 RSI is usually an uptrend. Rebounding downwards from 50 to 30 is usually a downtrend.
      Above 70 is usually over bought and a reversal is likely. Below 30 is over sold and an uptrend is likely. Buy at 30 sell at 50, sell at 70 and take profits at 50. Simple really

    Informative video but why on earth would you have "long only" and "short only" strategy separately. Thinking in common sense beating index is much easier if you go long when index is going long and you go short when index is going down. This way you match the index whenever it's going up but you double up against the index when it's going down.

      Usually you make informed decisions depending on what graph looks best. You don't just go plotting random snr lines especially on lower time frames.
      So usually you look the best (non chaotic chart) wether that's 4h or daily, and then plot the snr and trade on LOWER time frames that you are able to keep up with.

      @@TradingLabOfficial i would say more like 75/25 as very little testing is really done. You got to level up your skills and learn coding in python to test these well. Overall good refresher on ways to use macd.

    If you look at the histogram, it's clearly a bullish divergence. Only take extreme divergences, not subtle

    Divergence is the best 🚨

    The long only strategy only outperforms if the market trends upwards. The short strategy gives the most opportunities when the trend is downwards, while you miss out on upwards movements.
    Simple logic.

    SIR, When swing trading forex with support/resistance what is reliable time chart to use for S/R levels--is it 4 hour OR 1 hour chart? I think that 1H ,30M, S/R levels are going to get easily violated if trading is against trend on 4H/Daily chart. Of course entry be made based on 15 M chart price action BUT ENTRY HAS TO BE IN THE HIGHER TIME FRAME DIRECTION--seek your wisdom
