Morning SG, took a look at your overlayed MACD and am playing with it a little on my TDAm platform 2H. So far, I have not been able to figure out how to do an overlay on this platform, but have come across something usefull with 2 macd's. One called a macd histogram, and the other a macd histogram crossover, set with the numbers you are showing on your 1M example. But 1M charts are not my cup of tea, because I just don,t have the time to get involved with trying to skalp that fast. Tried it 4-5 years ago, and kind of got in trouble with it. 15M is as low as I go, but glance at a 5M chart once in a while.

You may find this hard to believe, but often when I do some skalping, I just strictly watch the numbers on a 15M chart, and can tell by what I call (to myself) the speed, strength and direction of trade, based on how the price numbers are jumping & gapping around. To do this with a chart would require something like a 5-10 second chart.

The histogram set up (numbers given by you) on my 2H chart actually could let me skalp right from it. It just tagged the drop on the GU.

Thanks sg

P.S. Still using your fib levels set up. Helps with exits when I skalp.
