There are THREE problems with the Hirsch Organization MACD timing NASDAQ page:
1. It says "NASDAQ 500 BEST SIX MONTHS STRATEGY + TIMING" - there is no NASDAQ 500 that I am aware of.
2. It shows an exit date of "8-Jun-06 2060.18" which was actually the closing price on 8-Jun-2005
3. There is NO posted exit date for the NASDAQ for 2006. I ASSUME they meant April 10, 2006, which would have been the close I posted: 10-Apr-06 2333.27 OR 2310.35 on 11-Apr-06??
Interesting: I tried to line up the DAILY MACD signal with the WEEKLY Williams %R signal I have been following, and this was what I found -- it wasn't easy to line up the chart dates but this is close.

Gerald Appel recommends an 8-17-9 MACD to generate buy signals and a 12-25-9 MACD to confirm a sell signal for a stock, which has had a strong bullish move.
