the next MACD cross of 4h will bring the price up and not down
Yes hence it is going to be my buy signal. Hopefully it doesn't go up too much before I get the chance to buy. Sometimes it doesn't go up right away, leaving me a good chance to buy, or even goes down a bit.
Also, there's a chance the next MACD upcross will not be 4H but will be 1H. This will happen if we see a 1H downcross before the next 4H upcross - the 1H will have to upcross first. If I judge that the chart is strong enough and the momentum of the 1H upcross enough to cause a chain reaction in which the 4H upcrosses also, then I will buy the 1H. This gives more profit than waiting for the 4H.
if you trade on the 15m or 1h chart then you have to be really crazy
When there is high volume and high volatily, you can use the smaller charts and are cheating yourself out of profits by not doing so. If all I was doing was trading 4 hour charts, I wouldn't currently be sitting on a 40% profit for the day.
, although I am wondering if you are making any profit by trading on the 15m or 1h chart after paying all fees and if it is really worth it ?
During volatily, smaller charts offer more than enough volatility to make a profit. Also, Bitfinex fee is only 0.1%.
