    this is a ridiculous comment, is your goal is to trade randomly ?

    the funny thing is that you are trying to look smart

    I never understood the incessant need by novice traders to use a zero-lag moving average.....zero-lag to what???? price???

    Just use price....duh

    Price is noisy. The goal is to find a way to significantly reduce noise without introducing much lag. Hence the interest in adaptive moving averages, several of which unquestionably outperform conventional MAs in the smoothness versus lag trade-off. No serious trader is going for zero lag; that's unrealistic. But low lag is very feasible.

    So they're claiming that conventional averages are more accurate than the adaptives. That doesn't make sense to me. And how do you measure smoothness? I know it isn't easy because I've yet to see anybody do it.

    Results please. "Unquestionably" is used by priests when they talk about God.

    Look at the charts in the link provided by topstep. Or go to Mark Jurik's website for JMA charts.

  7. Why do jurik indicators still only run on windows xp? Missing quite a large market.

    Undoubtedly it has to do with their over-the-top anti-piracy method which probably don't work under Win7.

    RobertWise;
    1. No;
    frankly studied/tested moving averages, so much, simply dont see much point in a new one@ this time.......................Perry Kauffman designed the ''adaptive ma'' but i like his books better than that ''new'' moving average....

    2.I like simple, exponential, & volume weighted MA can be useful...;
    all of them , all lengths have thier advantages/disadventages.
    50 period,200, 50 period ma still help.

    About the ONLY problem with moving averages, theyre not useful in sideways/slop trends; but that not the MA fault, sofind a way to ''adapt'' to that defect......................................................:D

    Wisdom is profitable to direct.

  10. There is no such thing as an anti-piracy method that works. When a program must load in memory and run it cannot be protected by definition. Hackers just dump the running code into a new executable and there they go. Sad but true.
