I use Metatrader 4 as my charting software and after reading what systems other traders use I ploted several moving averages accross diffrent time frames. However on daily it shows the trend is about to start on 4H that it is in the middle, on 15m and 5m that is going in diffrent direction. I use 10MA 50MA or 8MA and 55MA. Can they be applied to all time frames or you use diffrent MA pairs for shorter time frames?
I prefer a "1-period" moving average. It's the most accurate and responsive to price changes. You're also much less likely to be deceived by it.
http://www.jurikres.com/catalog/compatib.htm#metatrader Try the beta of the jurik ma for metatrader. It will give you signals a lot quicker. Apparently JMA2 will not be released as Mark Jurik has some new technology for 2007.
