Simple 5 / 8 moving average crossover

I'm about to get involved with this strategy on a daily basis. I've read through the thread, but can I get the latest on which pairs are working best with it? I'd like to keep it down to about 5-6 to actively monitor.

Thanks!

What does everyone think about that 110.74 low...I hasn't been that low since 5-1-2006 which was 108.97...any thoughts on what it might do?

Looks like a nice cross on the NZD/USD for a short and on getting ready in the next day on GBP/USD for a short too..

I'd like to introduce Fractals at this point. Fractals help solve the entry timing question quite well and show when a pullback occurs. They also reduce losses by forcing a trend confirmation when the pricing is ranging. Quite simply, you do not get a valid fractal when the market is ranging, mostly when it is trending. The downside is that profits can be reduced using fractals because you can miss the start of some trends but losses are significantly reduced through minimal trades in ranging markets.
Thanks for your comments.. Fractals could be a way to improve entries for sure!

I'm wondering if we could be seeing a carry unwinding. We have just seen a bounce at that 108.97 low you mentioned.. A break is certainly possible this week

Looks like many short crosses today. Where should we place stops if we enter? Candles are too long to place stop at previous day.

Is there a EA out there for the MA crossover? I love the way these indicators trade and would love to trade the 2 AM - 6AM (EST) time. Since this is the middle of the night for me, I'd love to be able to set a EA to trade at these times.

Thanks.

it might be, I would wait for a nice retracement as well as a cross in this case.

For ....../USD better add +20 or - 20 Pip from the 5EMA depends on the order buy/sell but it work perfect with GBP/JPY / NZD/JPY / AUD/JPY

yeah.. there is a lot of volatility at the moment.. this is often the case towards the end of the year in my experience.
