Which Moving Averages (and Other Technical Indicators) Do the Big Players Use...

See what you all can do with this moving average:
A one-pole infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, otherwise known as an exponential moving average, in forward-backward mode. H(Z)*H(-Z) in technical terms. This filter will double the attenuation of the of the forward only IIR filter and will be true zero group delay, i.e. zero lag.
The perfect moving average if not for the fact that forward-backward mode is non-causal. This means you will not be able to trade the slope change of the forward-backward filter directly in real-time. However, try combining the forward-backward mode IIR filter with a causal moving average, i.e. forward only, of shorter period and trade the cross overs. The possibilities are many.

POST # 7.
General Kevin Haggerty, head of equity-institutional trading @ Fidelity Capital Markets noted they will not admit to using a 200dma but they do.
That'$ where discretion can pay off ; where you can discern truth. So IBD was right also
It does help.
I have used same indicators for decades, 20sma, macd, rsi, price patterns. 99% of traders use them by reading books and of course the 99% make some to negative profits. And many have some stats to "eyeballing" it. Many have no clue what their methods did several months ago, three years ago or 2008/2009.
Trading not about where to get in to me, it is how to control risk, can I get risk to positive expectancy is number one at time of entry. 99% of my entries are counter trend. Just like how I use indicators, I developed my own way to use them that is not written in books. Sample sizes of stats for like one type of trade is over 20,000 and often goes back decades in all types of climate. More effort one puts in right direction can control drawdown. By charting equity curves can control size.
