OK, since it's widely agreed here that simple MA methods always fail, may I offer a revolutionary idea of fading them and seein what kind of profit we get? Of course this requires that someone on this thread is not lazy and will backtest this idea:)

has anyone here experimented with fading moves that are obvious? for example, shorting a new high for the day... or buying the first close under a 200sma. just wondering what people think about this type of trading?

I've done this in the past, but the win/loss ration is very low. If you can keep your losses minimized, and all other factors like the futures, the sector, and others come into play, you can make good money on it. But the key is the loss minimization.
