The second MACD must be "overlay and scaled with" the first MACD. Let me know if you still can't figure it out and I will walk you through it step by step.

There is no perfect stop placement as we all know. I have no doubt that the oscillators will keep you in trades longer, but your losses will also most often be larger than if you use 1-2 bars back. I like taking small losses better. I don't mind ...
