Re: MACD indicator

My goal is to try and place an order with my broker before the market
closes.  Not the next day.  I am using the MACD indicator to determine if I
am bearish or bullish.  If I know at what price the indicator is going to
change position I could possibly determine near but before the close of the
market if I want to change my position by asking myself, it looks like
today's close is going to be above or below the price which is going to
cause the MACD indicator to swap position.  Does this help?
