Wondering how successful someone out in our Forum in playing the simple Weekly MACD trend filter? I play other algorithms just not this one. It looks simple and it looks successful but who has tried it in real time investing?

Looks like no one is using this type of filtering to make money. Either that or everyone is vacationing and not on here.

What is the "weekly MACD"? Can you post a link, or the code?

Try this filter statement in its simplest form:
"And price is above 3"
"And weekly macd(12,26,9) Histogram is crossing above 0 previous 1 day".
As you can see simple approach in finding a company trending upward.

Then tweek it with this:
close above 5
and weekly macd(12,26,9) histogram is below 0 at close
and weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %K is crossing above weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %D previous 1 day
Then you have something you can use. Simple but effective. Play it against the universe of stocks or against only ETF's only, or against Nasdaq only or S&P 500 only. It's your call. Or use it as your barometer against the market itself and when this filter says yes to the market then use your favorite filter for gains. Happy investing.

To control the depth of the weekly macd(12,26,9) histogram you can do this, and only buy when the stock price is at a good value. Look at the last statement line:
price is above 3
and weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %K is crossing above weekly slow stochastic(5,5) %D previous 1 day
and weekly macd(12,26,9) histogram is below -0.5 previous 1 day

Set a stop if your buy goes lower than let's say 2% then look to jump in when it's super ripe for buying. Buy quality equities for assurance that your equity you buy won't fall off the table. Buying quality equities at great value really gives you a much better result than just gambling on an equity.

Another way is to do a buy is when the specific equity's Ma(300) is increasing. As they say, when the Ma(300) is decreasing it's called the "falling knife". Meaning, the price is trending downward.
