Interesting Moving Average Strategies

[Trendswithbenefits]

@MattyMoney

I really enjoy watching stuff like this. Even though it may not work for me right now, it gets the wheels turning. MA cross strategies can work well, especially in a trending market.

@MattyMoney, Exactly, “getting the wheels turning” that’s the whole idea of this thread, get new (and old) traders thinking about the bigger picture when trading these markets… Granted 2000 - 2016 takes bigger picture to a whole new level…

I only post on topics these days that I believe helps traders think for themselves, " Here is something which I think might be of interest, have a read" for those maybe trying to find their way.

I refuse to say you must do this, or must do that… there is enough members here already to pounce on threads with their own opinions right or wrong…

@flamingoproxy

personally, i’ve always found that whether MA’s are rising or falling is actually far more significant than whether the price is above or below them

@Trendswithbenefits

Don’t just rely on Moving Averages to cross… Use a strategy that removes the carnage of muddled MA’s… You can trade the IsRising or IsFalling value derived from this Indicator… You can use lower periods and signals are cleaner, sharper and contain way less lag…

A quote from a post in November 2020 about using Indicators… Which had nothing to do with “Buy & Hold Investing”… the lazy investors methodology… against using a combination of Moving Averages.

A Stock Market concept that can be easily applied to ANY CFD traded instrument…

I displayed a sample of the current GBPUSD on the Daily, @MattyMoney supplied a great demonstration of the OP strategy on the current EURUSD on the Hourly… Both simple stress free methods to trade.
