Many traders are confused about the concept of "kiss," which is actually closely related to the moving average system. But first, it must be clarified: the moving average system is just a mathematical treatment of price movements; fundamentally, it is inseparable from probability theory and is completely different from the later central pivot theory. Never mix the moving averages and the central pivot together.
Tools like moving averages and MACD are, in essence, auxiliary aids. Because they have a low entry barrier, traders who don't want to delve deeply can first master these. But this is the problem—"learning is not enough." If you only stay on the surface, you will ultimately suffer a setback. To achieve consistent profits, you must understand the central pivot theory thoroughly.
MACD, as an auxiliary system, indeed has its own set. The standard parameters are 12, 26, 9, which are sufficient for regular trends. But what about rapid surges? On a 1-minute chart, MACD's response can seem sluggish. Especially in ultra-short-term trading, just looking at the length of the MACD bars and the parameters isn't very meaningful—you need to observe the actual price movement.
How to judge ultra-short-term sell points? The key is to observe the extension of the MACD bars, which is related to divergence—simply put, the degree of deviation between the price and the moving average. When looking at the MACD chart, first, you need to be keenly aware of how high the MACD bars of this particular coin (or trading pair) usually extend. During consolidation phases, the bars will reach a certain level and then retract; but in trending markets, the situation is completely different. This difference determines whether you can buy at the bottom or sell at the top.

Don't confuse moving averages with the central zone; that's correct. But to be honest, most people can't even understand MACD, and they're still thinking about learning the central zone...

Well said, but you still have to admit that most people just don't use MACD correctly. No matter how you tweak the parameters, it's still a loss.

Moving averages are just auxiliary tools; the core is the central zone. Many people really haven't understood this.

Moving averages are just auxiliary; the key is to understand the central zone. Without that, no matter how many tools you have, it's all in vain.

The whole MACD moving average system has been around for so many years, but the real profit still depends on intuition and live trading experience.

Moving averages and the central zone must be analyzed separately, there's no denying that. But to be honest, most people simply can't use MACD effectively, tweaking the parameters repeatedly is pointless.

It's the same old story. Those who can't distinguish between moving averages and the central zone have already been liquidated... The MACD parameters 12, 26, and 9 indeed react very slowly during rapid market movements, and even I find it a bit frustrating.

It's true that confusing moving averages with the central zone can easily lead to pitfalls, but to be honest, the MACD parameters are a bit rigid, and the 1-minute chart reacts so slowly that even the decimal places can't keep up.

Mastering moving averages still requires diving into the central zone; otherwise, a liquidation is inevitable.

That's right, but MACD performance during consolidation and trends is indeed worlds apart. I've often fallen into this trap.
