Hello everyone. Can someone tell me what eelfranz used the 5-EMA for? I can't find the answer. Thanks.

@daesrd


This is your first post in more than 10 years. Welcome to Trading Made Simple.

When I first started many years ago, I followed the OP' post #12,912. I read, re-read, and re-read, ... his posts many times and have taken notes of each and every post.

About the 5EMA, Typical Price, Shift+2 aka the yellow line

post #261
5EMA is for direction.

post #1718
5EMA pointing in the 12-2 and 4-6 slope would be a bonus...

post #3418
PA is HA Candles, PA crosses the yellow line and closes... enter on the next candle if it's the same color. When candles flatten out... exit. Stay in the trade as long as it doesn't cross back over the yellow line and close.

there are many more posts on how to use the 5EMA, Typical Price, Shift+2.

you just need to find time to read, study and take notes on your own.

- the next new candle

- we have a bounce 8.5 but the slope isn't great

- the 5EMA direction is good but not the best, no bonus,

- because M15 has a big candle and small candles,

Hello emmanuel7788, nice to meet you, and I really appreciate your detailed response.
You see, I joined this forum about 10 years ago, and I was testing this strategy. I think I read the thread back then. I also tried many other strategies for 3 or 4 years, but none of them were successful, and I ended up getting disillusioned and giving up trading.
A few weeks ago, I started testing again and decided to give this strategy another try. I think it can work if I can learn it well and discipline myself.

I understood everything you wrote before, except when you said "5EMA pointing in the 12-2 and 4-6 slope would be a bonus..."
Are you referring to the hours on the clock? Is the angle the clock hands make the one the TDI should make?

Thank you again for your help and I'll be on the lookout for your new posts. I hope I'm successful this time! :-)

P.S. I'm Spanish and don't speak English, so I had to use Google Translate.

can be difficult to learn when the OP only wrote in English language.
you need to know the OP was visually impaired, he lost almost 70% of his eye vision.

but we all have one thing-in-common i.e. our charts to communicate what we see.
