  • The 200 Day Moving Average

    From dailyfx.com

    One of the most popular indicators in the world is the 200 Day Simple Moving Average. This indicator can be found on the charts of many investment banks, hedge funds, and market makers as a key point of analysis for a multitude of reasons. The indicator’s usage has become so widespread that it will often be looked at in Fundamental analysis; for the premise that so many traders may be watching the indicator that corresponding reactions may be seen when price encounters this stalwart of the chart.

hey if everyone is trading off of it, doesn't that dictate where price will go? Isn't that the idea. If most everyone buys a decline of price to the 200 dma and it bounces it is not a self fulfilling prophesy, it is price movement because of buyers at a particular level. just my 2 cent worth.
lol. it doesn't matter what the number is. It matters that most traders trade off of it. I posted this the other day.
the 50 is fairly universal too. Good morning btw. Hope everyone banks in todays trades
Imagine you're an FX trader at one of the institutions that move the market and not part of the 8% retail market that the majority posters on here are part of, what would you play off? Support, resistance, (the 3 levels of), the 200 MA all plotted on a daily chart? Perhaps Fib retracements? Round and psyche numbers? All actioned at zero spread cost through your lightning quick 3000 xtra.
