Interesting, I was thinking of trying to run various moving average back tests in Excel.

SunTrader, why do you say that? Is your thinking along the lines that none will really be profitable, of if you find one that seems profitable, it is probably just "curve fitting"?

Thanks.

Curve fit for sure to what has already happened yet will be different in the future.

Small ranges lead to large ranges lead to small ranges. How can a MA (no matter the length or calculation type) possible keep up to that?

Traders point to the few times MA's seem to show sup/res while ignoring the vast majority of times it doesn't. Especially when price just slams right thru the MA's.

Oh hi again fat thing! I missed you in the Intel thread, seems you pulled out of that one suddenly, only to show up here. You've got a trend going LOL. I guess you just didn't like the thread was going, where you had starting talking about sucking dicks again, and you thought I was bringing heat on you. But, as I tried to explain in that thread, I was in no way making fun of you or your "happy" lifestyle. Do you not watch the news? Having a "happy" lifestyle is well accepted these days. Nothing to be ashamed about. You go on sucking dicks, and sharing that fact with everybody, but be proud of it, fat thing!
