with all due respect, the moving average crossovers seem more effective and less "whipsawey"(if I may use that phrase) than the macd/stoch combo. (what parameters did you use for the moving averages,by the way?)
I experimented and backtested with the macd and stoch combo, it's a pretty good strategy. However you are looking for buy signals in a downtrending market, so many of the signals are not really practical, considering the macd is a double lagging indicator(a moving average of a moving average), and given the fact that advances in the downtrend(long term) last for a short time , not excusing any lag. they work very nicely as long as you know the main trend. (in the latest move we could have a long term reversal though, looking at the macd divergence  )
Personally, I feel the ma crossovers are better.

| sorry for the double post. additionally, an oscillator like the CCI will work as well.

Thanks friends for giving replys..
my intention is to find trading signals at any trend(downtrend or uptrend)..so..i'm experimenting with indicators...
here i'm using EMA 13,EMA 39 AND CCI(13) AND STS(13,3,3)..AND ..and i'm using DMI(13,39) for trend strength.
according to Mr.grizzlybull, working with CCI is also giving good signals..
waiting for replys

Hi all,
MACD is a lagging indicator. It all looks great when you see in hindsight. So backtesting works well on it. But per se the MACD is not of much use. Now why then we have it? It is to give a broad trend of markets being oversold or overbought. Its turning points though act as good signals.
Regards,
Opportunist

Yes, the turning points act as very good signals. That's because 0 line crossovers don't occur too often. However, what is a zero line crossing but an ma crossing?
Like I said before,the defect of lagging can be overlooked if the main trend is in your favour. No point in looking for bulls in a bear market, right?

as seen in your diagram, overbought and oversold levels are quite similar.
Basically the concept is to determine:
1. the ob/os state, as measured my the oscillator.
2. the momentum shift, as determined by the macd.
This works BEAUTIFULLY in the bull market for buy and sell, and in the bear market for short selling. So it is better to know the long term trend as I said, or for the case of day traders, the medium term or short term trend.
The market your looking at, ie the airtel counter, is not a good place to use your buy indication as it is a secular bear, plus it seems to be moving in a range, where buying near support would prove to be better.

I just first use the long term ma, anywhere between 100 to 200 days (or 20 week to 40 week) .. weighted ma is prefered, it isn't as fast as the ema and isnt as slow as the sma.I try to find support/res. levels, breakouts, etc to find out the main trend, ie, is it advancing, declining , consolidating, basing, topping etc. then I try to identify medium term trends and decide when to buy and sell (or sell and buy, but I am yet to fill in the pmla form so i cant trade in F n O just yet) btw, I am a novice, just in case you are uncomfortable with taking advice from novices.  It worked pretty well for cipla, jp associates, etc in the fag end of the bull run of 2009- 2010. plus I've never lost more than 1 - 2%. I used to use oscillators, but price action and ma are better.
