A typical gambling dice has 6 sides, an SMA has 2 sides. Dice throws are totally random. Events following a price action cycle at 200 Weekly SMA are far from random on the other hand.

Old words of wisdom - In a bull market buy strengthening p/a In a bear market sell weakening p/a Indicators are optional tools. How YOU work them is a personal matter.
