========================== C-Trader,good question; Actually an excellance place to start; 50 day moving average,200 dma. I think William o Neil names a margin call or a 200 day moving average[price cross below] ''late sell signal''LOL Add wisdom & 10.000 hours study, may be helpful also; & for a trendy benchmark like SPY, add 2 colors/ volume.......
Buy when what crosses what? I realize the MA crossover is a losing strategy but you still have to give complete details if the OP is going to learn anything. P.S. to OP: MA crossovers are losers.
yes, I have tested this, but I am using 1 min data, does that still work? Also, a simple question is, if it works, why there's still people losing money...
Sorry about that. When the price crosses and closes above the MA. So if it's a losing strategy just reverse it. Sell when the price crosses above it and buy when it crosses below it. Whatever you do have an exit strategy.
<i>yes, I have tested this, but I am using 1 min data, does that still work? </i> If you're using 1 min data use charts that make quicker turns Try the default macd 26,12,9 and compare it with 13,6,5 it will reflect your 1 minute trends better. Also if you're trading something that quick learn everything you can about CCI and plot it with the macd's. CCI will signal better exits and save you a heartattack or three. GLTA
