Quote from NoDoji:
I use a 20-period (20-bar) MA, so if I change the time frame of my chart, it adjusts to that time increment. I'm trading off a 5-min chart with cross-reference to the 3-min chart in a strong trend.
In a trend where price actually pulls back to the 20-bar MA, it nearly mirrors the trend line, and also nearly mirrors stochastics becoming overbought/oversold.
It's definitely delayed for picking an early entry off a reversal signal (first lower high or higher low after 3 or more legs in a trend), but I don't use it for that.
