MACD Crossover Entries
MACD as a momentum confirmation tool. Crossovers after a pullback, timed with chart structure.
What is MACD?
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) tracks the relationship between two EMAs. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line after a pullback, it signals bullish momentum is returning. The best setups combine a bullish MACD crossover with a clean chart structure — price making a higher low as MACD turns up.
Why It Works
MACD crossovers are a momentum confirmation. They don't predict moves — they confirm that short-term momentum has flipped relative to the prior trend. Institutions watch the same signal, which creates self-fulfilling dynamics around the crossover candle.
How to Trade Them
Look for a strong prior move (the pole), a deep pullback (the flag), and the MACD cross timing the pullback low. Enter BUY near the low of the pullback where MACD is crossing back up. The tighter your entry to the cross candle, the higher your score.
Your Mission
Wait for the pullback to complete. Hit BUY as momentum flips. 5 levels of scaling difficulty.
