MACD:
- In-depth details about MACD- https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/macd.asp
- 12, 26, 9 in MACD is an arbitrary number that has been tested over years. There is no logic behind that.
- When to buy: Suppose as per our strategy, the crossover occurs today, say at 9 AM, 10 AM, or 12 Noon, please don't buy immediately. Wait till 3:15 and verify the crossover, and the day will be termed as "Signal Day". If it stays at that time, you can choose to buy it. You can also buy it tomorrow around 9-10, provided crossover is there. The last day to buy as per the signal is the day next to tomorrow. The reason behind this is signals may vanish during the live markets, and you may become trapped.
- The same process i.e. review at 3:15 afterwards will be applicable for selling too, and you can also sell the next day.
RSI:

- When to buy: Suppose as per our strategy, RSI crosses the buy value today, say at 9, 10, or 12, please don't buy immediately. Wait till 3:15 and verify the crossing. If it stays at that time, you can choose to buy it. You can also buy it tomorrow around 9-10, provided crossover is there. The last day to buy as per the signal is the day next to tomorrow.
- The same process i.e. review at 3:15 afterwards will be applicable for selling too, and you can also sell the next day.

Candlesticks:
Bearish/ Bullish Engulfing: In bullish engulfing, the 5th candle should be bigger than the 4th. It should be like if the 5th candle is superimposed on the 4th one then, it should result in a good-sized green candle. Likewise, a bearish one should be in red.
