MACD Crossover & Stochastic Crossover Strategy - MACD Crossover & Stochastic Crossover XAUUSD Strategy
For this gold trading example the xauusd trend direction is upwards, but at some point there were a few whipsaw signals generated by stochastic oscillator - & the question is how can a trader avoid these xauusd whipsaws?
To avoid xauusd trading whipsaws combine two or more xauusd indicator signals - such as MACD Crossover xauusd signal to help avoid xauusd trading crossover whipsaws, for example the MACD technical indicator had not given a crossover xauusd signal although MACD indicator was very close to the zero center-line level.
One xauusd trading tip is that as long as MACD technical indicator is above zero center-line mark even if the MACD technical indicator lines are heading downwards then the trend is still upwards. As shown on the xauusd example above - MACD technical indicator did not go below the zero center line MACD level and after this the upward trend continued & MACD technical indicator was above the zero line mark & the gold market trend direction continued to move upwards.
