Anyone use moving average indicators?

    For those wishing to use MAs, try this exponential moving average.

    alpha*(price+bestgain*(price-EMA[1]))+(1-alpha)*EMA[1]

    where alpha = 0.25 and bestgain = 0.5

    Next, start playing around with different alphas and gain factors. Best of luck.

    btw, EMAs are just infinite impulse response (IIR) lowpass filters.

  2. LOL,21 ema?? I use a 20 SMA, not as front run/faster run , 'cause its a 20 simple ma.:D:D
    One of my chart services use a 13 period moving average on volume, as a default;works for me, but i prefer 50 on volume, like investors.com uses as a default......,..,.

    PS; I fed peanuts to an elephant@ the ZOO/LOL/TRUE, as a kid. His trunk was in a trading range. I dont remember if they were salted peanuts, or plain peanuts?? But that is why a SPY-buy + hold ;;almost always beats trading- +dividends 2.:):D A ma , any ma will chop slop, in a trading range[aka barbed wire range an elitetrader nicknamed it.]Like Robert M noted;dollar cost average, like he told his daughter.:caution::caution:,:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution:,:thumbsup:

  9. Hawaii still ranks #1 for women, men, men posing as women and women posing as men.

    "your not fooling anyone" .... pls change that to "you're" ...... so nobody mistakes you for a blond.
