Decoding your Favourite indicators ~🧵

1/ MACD

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a popular indicator among retail traders. It can be found on the charts of many traders who rely on technical analysis for their trading decisions.

However, there is one issue: Even though this indicator could be really useful when it comes to making trading decisions, most people don't bother to get to know how it works and end up basing their decisions on bad info.

That could really mess up their trading.

There were 2 Friends, Rahul and Samay. Both were trading the same system.

But,

Samay's P&L: +50%
Rahul's P&L: -100%

What happened? Why did Samay make money, but Rahul blew up his account, even though both were trading the exact same system? You, see trading is not just about finding a system with a positive expectancy. You need good risk management and appropriate position sizing to make the best possible returns while avoiding the risk of ruin.

Position sizing decides the "how much" part of your system
