MACO strategy

[moneybox]

A big Hello goes out to the moneytec community. I have come from another forum and am looking forward to meeting all you wonderful folks.
Let's get the ball rolling with a question: What system or strategy is anyone out there in moneytec land using to trade MACO?

What is MACO? My guess it is MA of Close with cross of Open.

Yes!...but with a filter for sideways trends. See the original post here http://www.moneytec.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7186&perpage=8&pagenumber=1

What is MACO?

The link has 65 pages and I didn't read it all !! The original thread was a bit highjacked at the end apparently, with a different topic.

As far as I can see in the link above, MACO is short for "Moving Average Cross Open".

The MA values are 5 cross 8.

The thread starter placed the MA's in a 5 min chart, and others offered a variety of filters.

An interesting read all round, as far as I went.

Good trading to all........................

Yeah, MACO ended up becoming a MA Cross with a filter. Wanted feedback from folks who have been using it if there are any still out there???

MACO + filter = BG Cross

You need to read the thread entirely "a different crossover system" to see that Maco evolved into a cross with a filter different to Bunny Cross which is based on entering after a number of pips. I personally don't like that idea.
Anyway hopefully the pic below gives some idea. Buy/Sell only after a cross of the Buy/Sell lines
