Not long ago, here on ET, someone lectured me: If it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it doesn't work.
%% Good points; exactly right ironchef. And in a Very limited sense, moving averages don't work LOL = the trader/investor has to do the work.LOL-LOL.....................................................................
I know you have been preaching 50 & 200 MA for a long time but you never explained why they should work. On second thought, maybe just because they worked for you is good enough reason?
%% As far as a 200 dma, ironchef; It Can Work Well If the Trader/Investor Works Well. Elephants like it......................................................................................................................................................................................
Great to know you don't need trading profit to put food on the table. It actually is a great plus, no pressure. I just don't belief you are not profitable. You seemed to know a lot about trading: Someone who went from swing to day trade, many of us couldn't make it day trading and had to migrate to swing.
I should have added that it is traditional moving averages used in the traditional way (ie crossovers) that don't work. Certainly, some of the newer low-lag MAs used in unconventional ways might work, but even then, it's a low probability proposition that they would. All of TA is a low probability proposition when price is very nearly a random walk. Lag (or group delay) is what kills performance of MAs. Even a lag of half a sample period can really kill performance.
