I am a novice chart reader and even MORE novice trader, so bear with me. :) It appears you are recommending selling when the "slow" red Macd line crosses a downtrending "fast" blue Macd line. If one did that, wouldn't one be selling AFTER the top had been reached, and it was trending downwards somewhat significantly. This doesn't really seem to be selling at the "top", but more like selling after establishing a downtrend. Granted, one would still be making a profit, but not quite as high as one might hope for at the peak of a run. Am I seeing that correctly, or could you extrapolate a bit for me if you have time?
