MACD might be the most useful indicator in forex. It is almost a shame to combine it with some other tool of either trend identification or position entry timing. By combining MACDs with different calculation periods, indicators can serve both as trend identification and entry signal. And it works very well.
This trading setup is extremely aggressive, accurate and with tight money management.
