Hey Elitists, Has anyone had success using a variable moving average? I've been doing some research using it for position trading, and the results look quite promising. I would appreciate your sharing any experiences with this indicator. Thanks! -Lizard

Vantagepoint (and nothing else, for that matter) can 100%predict a legitimate crossing of a moving average (as many illegitimate crossings will kill you). However, when looking at the software, you'll notice that the averages in Vantagepoint cross one or more days prior to many legitimate...

I have indeed. I think that it has some value, but you have to use some discretion as well. For example, the predicted moving averages do indeed cross BEFORE their non-predicted partners (i.e. simple moving averages of the same lengths), however, to truly benefit, you have to use a smarter...

I know. I know. Just kidding. Got a bit carried away there.:)

Except the bulls run both ways, including meandering to and fro for weeks at a time. Oh yeah, and the bulls bite the wallet out of your ass occasionally and dangle it in front of your eyes right before they gore you in the crotch. Then some of the more entrepreneurial runners convince you to...

Blowing out your account at least once is almost inevitable. When you blow out your account, you are faced with two options. 1.) Hang it up, and realize that you were never meant to trade in the first place. 2.) Get so inspired that you spent every waking minute, perhaps for months...

Flier6, Interesting. You've taken the method a step further by incorporating stops and exits. My initial plan was to let the entry points also act as stops, since you would be, in effect, bracketing the market. If you are able to post a chart with the computerized points that you've...

Flier6, Great to hear! Did you use it on an intraday basis or on a daily basis as mentioned? Very curious, as I only tested and tested but never actually traded this one. Gotta run right now. Will post later and address your question. Lizard:)

Tripack, I haven't actually traded this method, but have done extensive back testing via an excel spreadsheet with years of continuous data history. Its most profitable in highly liquid markets (SP, Bonds, etc.), due to the less "gappy" nature of such high-volume markets and because the...

Here's one: Its very simple and does NOT involve watching the market all day. Subtract the OPEN from the HIGH of the day. Then subtract the LOW from the OPEN of the day. You have now established two numbers to trade with tomorrow. You have your swing high BUY point (high minus open) and...

After muddying the brain with every over-complicated indicator known to man and a few dolphins, I have regressed. I've learned that all I need to trade is one moving average and an unorthodox entry and exit method. But you'll notice I said "I"...not "you" in the above sentence. Everyone is...

Here is my indicator of choice. It helps me out greatly when the decision to BUY or SELL is just too difficult to sort out with my mere mind. LiazrdGizzard

Actually, it is darkest when the sickening glow from my nicotine-stained computer monitor is stolen from me by the power company letting me know that I should waste less money trading and put it to more good use, such as paying utility bills. I could be wrong...but nonetheless, that's pretty...

Don't know of the other programs, but I did purchase the rather pricey VantagePoint product from Lou Mendelsohn. Honestly, after days and weeks of study, I can not see the benefit. I've attempted to look at the data from every angle, but I don't see any advantage whatsoever over "ordinary"...
