    If You Trade Using Moving Averages, How?

    Thanks for the heads up on Elher's, only problem is I cannot see his adaptive MA's on any platform I use. I totally agree with you that they are lagging indicators and this is their biggest problem. To overcome some lagging effects, I think that it's better to look at when price closes above...

    If You Trade Using Moving Averages, How?

    This is a great answer on how to use moving averages! I have a couple of questions: 1. When you say wait for a candle to close and then enter on the next confirming candle, would you wait for the 2nd to close? For example if price crossed the MA from below and closed above it, would you then...

    OK thanks, I see where you are coming from. I suppose the only thing is that, with high vol, you are paying more for the premiums? Thanks.

    How to get notified when a setup occurs?

    Thanks. This is the problem, my broker platform does not have this functionality. I'm in the UK. Are there third party platforms to do this that don't need lots of programming? Someone mentioned TradingView but I think you need to do some coding.

    How to get notified when a setup occurs?

    Ok, thanks, didn't realise flu was asymptomatic as well. Your stats are pretty worrying. One thing that puzzles me is this - why has the impact of COVID been so bad in places like the UK, Italy and the USA and yet inn India it hasn't taken hold?

    Thanks, learning plenty from you. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind: 1. How tiny are your stops and what criteria do you use to determine them? 2. How do you scale in and what determines when you do it? Thanks.

    I think the problem is that the virus stresses the body as it fights it so you then get a heart attack which you wouldn't have had without the virus.
