A promising MACD crossover appears—is it your signal to jump in, or a costly trap being set by market noise? Relying on it blindly could be one of the most dangerous assumptions in modern trading.

To answer this question, Markets.com is launching a brand-new webinar series dedicated to stress-testing the world's most popular technical indicators. We’re moving beyond the textbook to see how these tools hold up in the only environment that matters: the live market. And we're starting with the MACD.

We invite you to join our Chief Market Analyst, Darius Anucauskas, for the inaugural session on August 28, 2025 (Thursday) at 16:00 (GMT+3). This is not a theoretical lecture; it's a live-fire exercise designed to reveal the true strengths and, more importantly, the hidden weaknesses of the MACD.

"Every trader learns about the MACD, but very few see it put to a rigorous test during volatile conditions," states Darius Anucauskas. "Our goal is to simulate real-world decision-making. We’ll be testing the MACD's performance on the most popular trading instruments, executing examples in a demo account right after the US market opens, to see if its signals are genuinely actionable or just noise."

What We'll Investigate Live:

This session will dissect the indicator's performance in real-time. We will be looking at historical price action and, crucially, utilizing the volatility of the live market to see how the MACD reacts to sudden price swings on both short and long-term timeframes.

Attendees will discover:

  • MACD's True Behavior: Explore the nuances of one of the most popular technical indicators used by chartists.
  • Historical Precedent: Analyze how the MACD has reacted during past periods of intense market swings.
  • Live Market Demo: See the indicator put to the test in a demo environment on popular instruments during the high-volatility U.S. market open.
  • The Reliability Question: Join us as we seek to determine if the MACD can be a standalone tool for your trade entries.
  • Interactive Q&A: Get your questions answered live by Darius Anucauskas in a dedicated Q&A session.

Don't trade the news blind or rely on tools you haven't seen proven under pressure. This webinar is your opportunity to gain a critical perspective on an indicator you use every day. Gain an edge with expert insights before the rest of the market catches on.

Seats for this live event are limited to ensure an interactive and valuable experience for all attendees.
