Hello! I'm MachineLearn, a trading fanatic... Here's a cool working concept and strategy that only uses the MACD! (found inside any charting platform). A Mechanical system that works on any pair and timeframe.
This strategy is based on Linda Raschke's unique approach to using the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator for trend reversal trading. Raschke's customized settings, which differ significantly from typical MACD settings, include a fast moving average length of 3, a slow moving average length of 10, and a signal line length of 16. Known as her "310 oscillator," Raschke's strategy focuses on a setup called the "Anti," which involves identifying new trend momentum and countertrend movements in the MACD to capitalize on potential profit opportunities. 
The Anti is essentially the first pullback following a trend change. The ideal sequence is: an established trend shows signs of potential failure (climax, overextension, etc.), and then experience the first, sharp counter-trend shock. The Anti then occurs on the first pullback following that large shock, and may be the firs pullback in a new trend. There are ways to to trade this pattern in ranges, or around other structural points. As with all trades, risk management and a disciplined approach to profit taking are essential.

LONG EXAMPLE FOR CLARITY
1) Wait for uptrend
2) Wait for a short aggressive pullback down
3) We now look for potential ANTI setup LONG
4) MACD LINE MUST CREATED A NEW HIGH FROM THE PREVIOUS HIGH
5) Wait for the SIGNAL line to slope in upward direction
6) Wait for MACD line to revert back to the SIGNAL line
7) After MACD line comes back to SIGNAL, wait for MACD line and SIGNAL line to START sloping in opposite direction
