MACD Trading System

“Simple. Clean. Relentless.”
Core Concept
Pure MACD momentum trading:
- Enter on the classic MACD/signal line crossover
- Let winners run with an ATR-based trailing stop
- Exit only on the opposite crossover – nothing else
No filters, no moving averages, no RSI, no news filters. Just price momentum measured by MACD and disciplined risk management.
Trading Rules (100% mechanical)
BUY (Long) Signal MACD line crosses ABOVE Signal line → Market buy at open of next bar
SELL (Short) Signal MACD line crosses BELOW Signal line → Market sell at open of next bar
Stop-Loss (on every trade) Fixed distance: 1.5 × ATR(14) (automatically adjusted every bar – true ATR trailing from the very first candle)
Take-Profit None. Position is held until the opposite MACD crossover occurs.
Exit Rules
- Long → close when MACD crosses BELOW Signal
- Short → close when MACD crosses ABOVE Signal
That’s it. No early exits, no breakeven moves, no partial closes. The system is designed to catch big trending moves and give back only when momentum truly reverses.
