is there any way that works 100% of the time? no. so it is better to use the simplest technique rather than use 15 super computers and 5 quantum physicists and getting the same results.

that is one technique i have not seen in 25 years of trading:'shorting the fuck out of'....sounds like fun:D

i think it is very important to trust your strategy or analysis something that does not come easy my point is that for me i have found it is very much easier to trust a moving average signal than a price action one.

see the live chart of uerusd below? do you think that moving averages are showing where the price has gone? or where it is going? here both moving averages and price action are SHOUTING the same thing

i must clarify that i use moving averages in a certain and specific way as described by me in detail in my other posts in various threads

thanks for the clarification i am not sure i suggested learning only moving averages ..... if "all" moving averages are going in a particular direction,which is unambiguous and easy to judge,you cannot go much wrong if you trade that direction the problem is that such unambiguous moving average...

i have shown results of a win rate of 100% trading with moving averages please see my posts in the thread https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/those-that-poopood-on-moving-averages-thoughts-on-this.320733/ i have also described in detail with full explanation, using charts, my technique...

can you explain that using charts i have explained everything about my technique by using charts: see my posts in various threads please explain using charts so that i and all others will benefit. Thank you

i got it that you are you making fun of me This forum is for discussion about techniques: i have been posting ways, moving averages may be used profitably complete with detailed explanations illustrated by charts explaining ,bar by bar,apologies to Al Brooks. I suggest all of us will be better...

in that case price action is also past or are you analyzing future price action

where do moving averages show reversals? do not consider crossovers...there are many other ways to use moving averages

if the 200 day ma is sloping upward then it is better to wait to see if it comes back up. if the 200 ma is sharply upward and all the other shorter moving averages are SHARPLY down then you can look to go long. do you look only at 200 ma?:D

so in price action you do not look at the past bars: do you consider only the last bar printed? do you not look at price action in past periods also known as context. The moving average shows you in glance the context.

yes but this the easiest for beginners

you can do things simply or you may make it complicated. i feel moving averages may be learned faster,please see my posts in numerous threads where i have described how i use moving averages explained in detail in charts, bar by bar;apologies to Al Brooks:D

see my trades and technique which i have posted in many threads tell me where is the lag?

got an invitation from the market to enter, to chase but declined because i believe the correction may not be over. the market will sometimes do unexpected things but she is always gracious enough to pamper traders with a second invitation or entry :D

this what happened. be alert to what information the market is giving. i hope this illustrates that trading is not only about following indicators or price action or rules but understanding the language of the markets and giving her the due attention and respect, she deserves:D.

Price action is better for the gurus,teachers vendors, because it takes years to learn and they get paid during that time Moving average is better for the trader because it takes less than a day and there is no ambiguity or judgment required

the market went down in two bars below the 3ma and the 8 ma. No attempt was made to buy the dip;i decided to wait, as Xela suggested, for the market to go back up above the two short term ma. Why? two reasons 1. the market dipped rather slowly in two down bars rather than a rapid single down...
