Second entries are by far the best. The first entry produce about as many losers as winners. I was taking only trades where the MACD was below 0 for short and above 0 for longs. Haven't tested just slope of indicator yet.

In my look back of the last 30 days I moved the stop at 13 to get 15 with a 15 tick stop. 30 winner and 2 losers. Remember I was only taking trades with the MACD in the corresponding zone. If I just chased the trade using a with trend one bars stop. In other words I only moved to the top of down bars in a down trend. It added about 75% to the profit.
