ryan...the 3 MACD sets are only to find Pinchers which can be safer ..more reliable plays than MACD histogram crossovers or fast line/slow line crossovers...a Pincher is formed by upper MACD set or lower MACD set getting so close in convergence they are almost touching each other...these are extreme overbought or oversold conditions and once they form its a watch for divergence to begin then trade is entered.Conventional use of MACD yields good results as well but also can have you trading against the trend if a crossover occurs and a trade is entered expecting reversal that can easily just be a profit taking pullback that launches even higher or lower and against your trade.Pinchers allow one to contra trend trade with relative safety because overbought or oversold moves occur on all time frames.Waiting for a good Pincher requires patience but patience is rewarded.I played an overnight long on U/J last night from a pincher and closed this AM for a $71 profit.Heres a one hour NZD/JPY chart showing two extreme convergences(Pinchers) and you can see that both were profitable by simply staying in the trade through whipsaws and riding the Pincher.
