Stop Loss in Macd Indicator 

Stop loss is an important factor in trading if you are aware of this you will not lose money coming to the point where you have put stop loss before one candle of  buying/selling trade 

let’s take an example

in a trending market with this indicator, there is 70% accuracy but no guarantee for profit but in the sideways market the accuracy might be affected 

Best example 

iF  Stock X drops to 50,then48, but the MACD rises during the second drop. This divergence might mean the downtrend is ending. A trader could buy here, expecting a bounce.

in this world, no one will give  the 100% perfect signal everyone provides based on their analysis and experience it is better to do analysis and see thing with your mind
