MACD and SMA 200 Combo Strategy
This strategy combines the classic MACD indicator with the 200-period SMA moving average to generate trading signals.
Specifically, it goes long when both MACD histogram and momentum are above 0, fast MA is above slow MA. Price above 200-period SMA serves as the second filter for bullish bias. The opposite logic triggers shorts.
The advantage of this strategy is utilizing MACD for short-term trend and rhythm, and SMA for long-term trend direction. Combination improves accuracy and avoids whipsaws. However, both MACD and SMA have lagging issues and cannot promptly detect reversals.
In summary, the MACD & SMA 200 combo strategy suits medium-long term holding. It effectively captures major trend change points. But attention is needed on timing of indicator signals to avoid chasing tops/bottoms.
