Macd is the simplest & most reliable indicators available. Macd uses Moving Averages & turn them into momentum indicator by subtracting longer MA from shorter MA. The subtracted value when plotted forms a line that oscillates above & below zero, without any upper/ lower limits.

Using shorter Moving Average (5 & 10) will produce a quicker, more responsive indicator (fast macd), while using longer MA (12 & 26) will produce a slower indicator (Slow macd), less prone to whipsaws.

Macd measures the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

A +ve Macd indicates that 5 or 12-day Ema is trading above 10 or 26-day Ema. A -ve Macd indicates that 5 or 12-day Ema is trading below 10 or 26-day Ema. If Macd is -ve & declining, then -ve gap between faster MA & slower MA is expanding & Downward momentum is accelerating..

Investors: with huge portfolio use week macd to spot -ve div. to "Part Book" once & during Bearish Cross over 2nd "Part book" & last one at Bearish centreline crossover. Start buying in parts when +ve div. start & add more with Bullish cross over & Bullish centreline crossover

Traders: Use in combo with basic EW knowledge to make entry & exits. When you combine studies of diff. time frames such as Week, Day & Hour, you have potentially a system which will follow prices to good accuracy.
No foolproof system but only more efficient one in relative term.
