    trading using moving averages

    1. I try to understand how they appear to be working and act accordingly. 2. If you'd read all of my posts and followed my advice, you'd be richer than the "Slumdog Millionaire".... you question whether or not I'm a "big dog"? (Not a REALLY big dog, but a big one in a small kennel.)...

    trading using moving averages

    I've never been able to see where using a "plethora of MAs" produces results. Where MAs DO work is when they act as support and resistance + consideration of their slope. The most important and most widely followed are the 50 & 200. Sometimes however, the 100 or 150 will fit the market better...

    trading using moving averages

    You're full of crap, friend. I cut my teeth in TA starting with an observation about the 20 day MA. Some of the most profitable trades come from the 50 and 200 day... that's why EVERYBODY pays attention to them.... everybody except you apparently.

    I never told you how I "use MAs". From what did you draw your conclusions?

    Why go pro?

    You basically have two choices. 1. Trade for yourself. 2. "Go pro" and trade for others (earning management fees) and put up with the costs and regulatory/compliance hassles... assuming the fees earned are worth the bother.* *I know of this. At one point years ago, I had hundreds of...

    22 Surveys Which Prove That Americans Never Want To Go Back To The Way America Used To Be

    Dig this. I was the #1 ranked candidate from my undergrad at MSU (100% of their previous "top 5 recs" had always been accepted in the medical school at Colorado University). I was disqualified because of my age (26).... and because I'd served in the military during the Vietnam war. I...

    trading using moving averages

    They fail when they do. Study the history, you can figure it out.. Sometimes they are action points. Sometime they mean nothing. Understanding the diff is important.

    trading using moving averages

    MAs are "1st derivative" of price. Some of them are helpful at times. That's all.

    trading using moving averages

    1. I won a national investing championship ("things" being slightly different, I might have won 3 times), so I have some cred somewhere in the financial/trading world. You ever do anything like that? 2. I was #1 (out of 225 advisors covered) in the MoniResearch investment advisory newsletter...

    Don't you yet realize that when you disagree with me that you're "poking a stick at the big dog"? I'm trying to help you and anyone who reads this thread (though I don't know why I should bother). Suggest you pay attention.

    Don't mean to harsh your mellow... but my view is that the way you're using them is inefficient and therefore not advised. IOW... you're wasting your time with that approach. FWIW... My view on MAs.... 1. Pay attention to the 50 and 200 day MAs. EVERYBODY watches them and so should you...

    Mostly true, but I wouldn't give up on indicators. (If I weren't so lazy, I'd run a year long test based upon "indicators alone" and report it here... but then again, I'm lazy :)) Most don't understand how they work, but they do when used properly.

    Not sure many of us feel all that "lucky". Yes, when you get a handle on it all you can make easy money... perhaps lots. Hopeful as they/we are, doubt many are to that point... at least not yet.
