The shorter you choose your time period the faster he's gonna react to price movements, but the more 'false'/'to early' signals he's gonna throw.

I've been looking for an answer for that. I mean, obviously, stock volatility is different for every stock. A MACD indicator set to 12-25-9 on a stock like Caterpillar might too vague and just right for a telcom stock. I've been playing with a 3-6-7 for the mining sector with some success-- but nothing is foolproof which is why I only "daytrade" a small portion of my portfolio.

I'm wondering if using a "beta" (as a measure of volatility) for the MACD adjustment would be the way to go?

Regards,
Michael
