Best Moving Average!

Yes. Please see above posts.

The shorter the TF the harder it is to profit as the shorter TF's are much noisier and show less trending.

 

Shorter TF's tend to work better with support / resistance trading, but the shorter the TF the more of a factor the spread becomes.

 

It surely is a bitch.

 

The dailies work best in terms of profit, but it takes patience as there is less action. All of us want action.

It's a question of which one you want more. Myself included.

 

It's hard to be patient, but it pays better.

 

 

M1 isn't that a bit short?

!! T3 is the best moving average !!

 

..and pretty much the only lacking indicator I use!

 

Description Developed by Tim Tillson the T3 moving average is a smoothing technique that is intended to produce more effective and accurate signals. The T3 computes 6 successive EMA's on the closing values for a stock and uses those EMA's in the following formula ('a' is the damping coefficient or second parameter.)

 

-a^3 * EMA6 + (3a^2 + 3a^3) * EMA5 + (-6a^2 - 3a - 3a^3) * EMA4 + (1 + 3a + a^3 + 3a^2) * EMA3

Hi,

 

I would recommend a lag-free moving average like the 3rd Generation MAs

download for free from

 

http://www.scientific-trading.com/downloads.php

 

In addition you could combine multiple of these lag-free averages and use them as MACD signal. From my experience it is very important to avoid lag of the averages to get the best signal.

i have good setting MA,, for TF H4,, EMA 5 and SMA 55,, crosing for entry,

try it, ;)

For GBPUSD on M1 under present market conditions the SMMA 200 on Price Typical gives the most intersections. For M5 the best fit is SMMA 775. These figures change and need re-evaluation weekly and the same values are not generally valid or useful when applied to a different pair i.e. each pair is unique but there is some "group" (similarities).

EMA20,EMA50,EMA200 are useful

the best MA is SIMPLE MA 200 on 5 Minute Time Frame, watch for slope and candle cross and bounce the SMA line :)

SMA 5 , SMA 13 , SMA 35 and SMA 72 is better. . try it :)

7,13 and 55 are nice..........

in TF 5 M......i used to use 10,21,50 all in SMA and 50 EMA.... the 50 level of SMA act as the SR and entry point at the bouncing at that level..if the trend is strong get in at the bouncing at 21 SMA or at 50 EMA...and don't forget to draw SR horisontal....at London and New York open...

You must be really new? Becuase even the professionals don't touch the 1m timeframe most professinals preffer the 15 min and hourly charts for short term trading and the mid and long term professional trade the 4HR 1 day and Weekly charts as far as the best mid term EMA or SMA it would be the 50 or 60 EMA or SMA if you want the long term trend the 200 or 350 SMA or EMA is what the big dogs use these MA's are applicable to all time frames but like i stated if you are new to forex I wouldn't waste my time on the 1M or 5M charts to much niose move up to the 15 min or the 1HR charts if your on the 1m charts your going to get eatien by the spread

22 and 87

usually i use these 2 ma

i use the 36 lwma & 36 ssma & 360 ema on 5min on GBPUSD

22 and 87

usually i use these 2 ma

 

In Which Timeframe & which Pair ?

200 is best, be it simple or exp. Above 200 bulls rule and below it bears rulE :">
