But a MACD Divergence is a powerful hint that the market is changing. Spotting a MACD divergence correctly will only come after practice. It is easy to spot MACD crossovers and dramatic rises but not so a MACD divergence.

What you are looking for is when the price action and MACD do not agree. For example, if the price is making a series of higher highs and MACD is making a series of lower lows, something is wrong between the two.

In a meeting with my team of agents several years ago, I was laying out a new marketing strategy I wanted to test. One of my top agents appeared to disagree with my desire to test something new. I could tell just by his non-verbal cues that he wanted to leave things status quo.

Finally, he spoke up and said, “What we are doing right now is working. Why would we change it? As soon as we figure out something that works well, you immediately want to change it.”

The agent’s comments were sincere. I realized that I had not taken the time to see things from his perspective. He was thrilled that things were working well. Heck, he was selling 10 to 12 homes each month. He didn’t want to risk tinkering with our successful approach. I couldn’t blame him after looking at things the way he saw them.

I decided to share my thought process with the team. I went on to explain that if we continue to do the same things month in and month out, they would soon lose their effectiveness. That we must prepare for war in times of peace. This means we are required to constantly test new marketing and lead conversion systems within our business.

Eventually galvanized steel and copper would replace lead, and copper pipe would eventually become the most popular material used in home water service and distribution in mid to late 20th century construction.

Pipe corrosion and erosion-caused lead contamination, was the top source of lead-related health issues before the hazards of ingesting lead were realized. Stillbirth and high infant mortality were two of the worst effects of lead ingestion. Many other plumbing or pipe problems are easy to detect by seeing or listening, but without specifically testing for it, there is no way to detect lead in your water. The EPA offers general information about lead contamination and how to test for it on its website.
