MACD indicator false signals

[KrisValtysdottir]

@TheodoreThring

the standard MACD settings date from a 6-day week. 12 represented two weeks (in days) and 26 was the number of trading days in an average 30-day month (of 4.3 weeks). Again, there wouldn’t be much logic in expecting those still to apply now, would there?

I never knew this.(I wonder how many people trading forex from maybe 1-hour charts with an MACD set of 12-26-9 knew this?) Thank you!
