MACD has to cross. This was a case of me experimenting by *breaking or should that be bending* one of our rules. Like I said earlier, I'd much rather make expensive mistakes on a demo account.

If MACD crosses 2 or 3 bars later after PSAR in the same direction as PSAR then it is a valid signal. The MACD is confirming that the PSAR signal is right. The foundation of this system is the PSAR so even if MACD crosses before the PSAR dot appears, you'd still have to wait for the PSAR dot to appear. Dale et al, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think I've ever seen MACD cross and the PSAR dot appear at the same time. Does it ever happen?
