What is better: using a simple moving average or price action?

so in price action you do not look at the past bars: do you consider only the last bar printed?

do you not look at price action in past periods also known as context.
The moving average shows you in glance the context.

 

if the 200 day ma is sloping upward then it is better to wait to see if it comes back up.
if the 200 ma is sharply upward and all the other shorter moving averages are SHARPLY down then you can look to go long.
do you look only at 200 ma?

 

Your post "show me the lag". By definition anything past is lagging. Even the 5 min is lagging in ref to the 1 min. Lagging is not necessarily bad, but you have to acknowledge what it is in order to make an informed decision.

 

where do moving averages show reversals? do not consider crossovers...there are many other ways to use moving averages

 

Obviously you missed my point.

 

in that case price action is also past or are you analyzing future price action

 

i got it that you are you making fun of me

This forum is for discussion about techniques: i have been posting ways, moving averages may be used profitably complete with detailed explanations illustrated by charts explaining ,bar by bar,apologies to Al Brooks.
I suggest all of us will be better served if you discuss the methods i have described in my posts in various threads.I am sure you will improve my technique so please have ago

 

See post #13

 

can you explain that using charts
i have explained everything about my technique by using charts: see my posts in various threads
please explain using charts so that i and all others will benefit.
Thank you
