Question about moving averages

What is it specifically that you are trying to do?

 

Honestly, looking to trade on bigger picture stuff, trade less, hold longer, spend less time reading about and researching trading ideas. Want to continue using technical analysis, it’s helped me tremendously, but want to spend more time on guitar and working out

 

What about adding a shorter 9 EMA to those 200 SMA and 50 SMA. The 9 EMA plus the Candlesticks you mentioned help spot the shorter Trend ... plus "the KCalhoun two Vs"? Thanks.

 

If you had a method already, what few products would you go look at tomorrow?

 

Probably strictly ETFs. Index and sector, ultimately maybe ultimately some more focused ETFS, like for example KWEB , XBI, GLD, just as examples.
I think MAs have the same application to these as they do to individual stocks. But these instruments lend themselves to longer holds, in some instances.

 

Right, the 9 will give faster signals

 

Moving averages make me money. Every indicator and TA method looks backwards…even support and resistance and candle reading. I find ma be very reliable. The key is to cobble together a method that uses the more reliable methods.

 

Which of these Index products initially?

 

Just remembered, Oliver Kell likes to use the 200 & 50 SMA and 10 & 20 EMAs.

 

Even for me moving averages work and show good results, rising moving averages indicate that the security is in an uptrend and that’s reliable for me, I prefer exponential moving average as they are very reactive and helps me to understand the patterns of change by crossovers, it took a lot of practice but so far so good.
