tomfrick434 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I see that a lot of people are using it in trending markets. I personally never used them, because I am a supply and demand trader, but I wonder if using it can be helpful. What is your opinion on this? I started following this dude, lets see if he has any success with it https://consiliuminvest.com/traders/327-martin-moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsner Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 The direction of an moving average shows the supply demand imbalance for the medium (50 ma) or long (200 ma) term. In other words, the path of least resistance - expressed by the demand supply imbalance - can be seen using moving averages. If the ma is sideways, no trend. If price over ma and ma angling up = uptrend; if price is below ma and ma angling down = downtrend. So, ma is a kind of supply/demand indicator for the longer term in my oppinion.

FredUrble Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 IMHO, moving averages need to be centered to be accurate and valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandyDrinker Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I find moving averages more of a problem then useful. They distract from the true price movement. They make it look like the price is moving smoothly and in a trend when it could be far from the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyloks Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I only like to use them to show me the trend, nothing more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermes Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Steve Bigalow has a solid strategy with 8 EMA, Stochastic and candlestick formations. Check it on YouTube. Crosses are toooooo late but if you try entry after candle closes above/below 50 SMA it is also good strategy. Hermes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cchr Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Are moving averages helpful? = Nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edw123 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Focus on what you do best, not following others' style of trading! Naked trading and indicators trading, all good if you could do it with the right mindset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
