    Thanks for this great system! To whipe out more false trades, i only make a move once MACD value AND signal are above or below zero. Works really great the whole day long :-)

    Hi BenTradeBen,
    What do you mean?
    You mean that the MACD line and the histogram are above or below the zero line at te same time?
    If that is what you mean, than I understand.
    Makes sense because when MACD line is above or below the zero line than that means that the market is bullish or bearish.

    As to PSAR:
    your mean STEP 0,1 and MAX 0,11?
    so to be on the safe side, not the other way around?
    I mean not STEP 0,11 and MAX 0,1?
