Trading With Moving Averages

Day before yesterdays high 1.3417.
Yesterdays high 1.3344

(1.3417+1.3344)/2 = 1.3381 for short.

at least thats what I have on Oanda's charts.

Normally I don't think there is that much disparity in the highs between brokers, but I could be wrong.

I trade strictly off Oanda charts and don't look at any others.

That's fine, at least it's consistent. Do you have any OHLC daily data from OandA? And we can test the system with their data.

I don't have any data from them but it is certainly available upon request.
Past data is available from 2004 till as recent as 2 months back.
Here is a ink to their data request page, you do have to have an account with them and a minimum bal to get it, but that is no problem, like I said if you want it I can get it.
Oanda Historical Data

I do have last years OHLC data in a spreadsheet in a system I was trading, I could send that to you. I use a MAC so it is in a Numbers spreadsheet but I think excel would still read it.

Well the long trade has been closed and a short trade opened at 0.96508.

The short can't be closed today. To close the short and go long again tomorrow (Friday the 21st) I need (Wednesday's Low + Thursday's Low)/2 to be hit, I suspect the target number will be 0.95235 as I can't see the market putting in a new low now... I'll set the order soon.

Yeah, please do get it for the USD/CHF and I'll test it and share the results.

hi, just wanna share with you all, i do trade the simple moving average but mostly for stocks. whipsaw is an area of concern especially for trend following systems like moving averages. For stocks, diversification is used so that the winners make up for the losers. For currencies, I am not sure.

I don’t normally use moving averages to trade Forex, moving averages are just price distortions and while distortions can be a useful way of filtering out the market’s random ‘noise’ they’re not the most effective way. But using the average high and low prices can be a good way of picking decent levels for entries and exits. The full system can be found here trading with moving averages but here’s the basic details – Compare the opening price to the price the market closed...

Thank you for your post. It seems a nice one. I will try it on demo to get the full understanding of the system. Once I understand the system properly, I will try it on real account.
