Exactly blah blah says it all, Since you obviously don't understand english maybe you can get someone to translate what the original poster was looking for; moving averages and the settings.

The thread you're looking for is " I know everything listen to my broad, not based in fact that nobody cares about BS. Like I said do us all a favor take your Meds, go look at yourself in the mirror, favor tell yourself what a great trader.you are and go back tok that fantasy land you live and stop wasting everyone's time

The topic is "What are your moving average settings?", and I am discussing moving averages. I'm telling you I don't have any settings for them since they're bunk, and I've already explained why. It's in the rookie discussion forum for a reason - so cut the crap out with the "meds" nonsense and pretending you're the OP old man. I may not be a great trader but I am a profitable one and have minimal risk doing it. I'm certainly not gambling away my retirement fund "full time" like you and many others here are (reading your profile you seem to also enjoy playing various casino games). In fact I'm trying to show you some rational reasons why this strategy isn't going to work to save you the pain of ending up totally bankrupt pursuing this. Listen up. Or don't, I don't really care that much. I'll extend you the courtesy of the last word - feel free to trash me, people can read these posts and judge for themselves.

First let me apologize to the original poster and the rest of the people in this thread. It was not my intention to hy-jack the thread. This will be my last response to this buy. Hopefully he'll go away so we can continue our discussion.

Oh ya back to you

{quote} feel free to trash me, people can read these posts and judge for themselves.
Okay you're right one last time. It's your English that's the problem or reading comprehension.
Topic What are your moving average settings?
OP (original Post) I can now catch the trend with moving averages. Personally, I use 100 sma 200 sma 50 EMA 200 EMA 800 EMA on H1 timeframe and trade only GBPUSD which I feel comfortable with it. and how about you guys trading with Moving Average?

Do you see anywhere in the title or post asking, "what do you think about moving averages?" If you don't like or use moving averages you can do what the second poster did and the way he did it. Things like: Moving averages are garbage, keep using them and I'll get all your chips, we all know you're not profitable, the fact that everyone uses them should be a big flag, etc. does nothing to add to the discussion that the people who are using them especially rookies are having.

As far as trashing you, I only responded in kind. You didn't list 1 fact about moving averages; good or bad; "they"re crap, bunk, uselsess are not facts, they call those opinions. Op uses 200sma, that's a fact. You made broad unsubstantiated, statements inferring you knew what you were talking about, when not one word in all your posts has to do with MA or settings and in fact just Your opinion.

Here's my last piece of advice then I'm done with you, because like the rest of the people in this thread are interested in Moving Averages and the different settings people who use them, use. If you don't want people to talk trash to you, then don't talk trash. You want people to listen to you next time when you're expressing your opinion, don't do it like it's a fact, when it's not.

Yes the thread is titled "WHAT ARE YOUR MOVING AVERAGE SETTINGS"

The basic fact that 99% of traders large and small use MA's of some type. Surely this makes one realise that they do work! If one googles "fxbootcamp" you get to a site which offers some great free videos on how to use MA's to one's advantage. They use the 5 and 8 ma cross over for instance which is quite a good idea.

What Kanzler (and other idiots of the same genre) do not understand is that price action constantly tests certain dynamic support/resistance EMA's in real time and canny traders can use that fact to their advantage. I now have an EA which opens trades when price action bounces off any specified EA that one inputs - and I also am using an EA which closes a trade when price action hits a specified EA. That by the way is a very powerful EA because often when price action drops down to test rising support (or vice versa) one doesn't know if it will break through. However it doesn't matter because your EA has closed the trade for a nice profit when price action hits the rising/falling support level.

If any rookies want any help on these issues just PM me.

Regards

Jerry

Great Post and thank you. The fact is that nothing is fool proof and works 100% of the time, when are methods work were a genius, when they don't we say nothing works 100% of the time, if we keep on making the same mistakes with our methods then were idiots . But one thing is irrefutable; when a bunch of traders using roughly the same methods brain storm more times than not we will be on the path to having more positive trades than negative. That of course is my opinion. Great example I trade manually, but your EA's sound interesting. So down the road I will take you up on your offer and look at EA's. Did you program them yourself or did someone else do it for you

I'm not going to stoop to your level with name calling. You know as well as I do that your trading method is costing you money and that deep down under your meter thick ego you know what I'm saying is true. Newbies beware, ask him for account statements before he starts charging you for trade tips. There's a good reason you have only one vouch from 1,500 posts of "contributions" in the two years you've been here.

I like the following moving averages:
24H
30 days

Sorry my post above should read: bounces off any specified MA (not "EA")

Both EA's are available on FF but if you want them just let me know and I'll be happy to send them to you

BTW, I mainly use the 169, 28, 12 EMA's (not SMA's!) I also use the 55 EMA to help with trend direction - crossing the 169 - all MA's in line = solid intraday trend

M5 60sma for the direction, go the same way.

Then I use a 26sma and 26sma envelopes at 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%, then generally I look to trade the range at the 0.1% or 0.2% with the 60's direction, with the SL if I enter at the 0.2 at the 0.3 area, or 0.1 then sl at 0.2.

M5 500ema is working quite nicely as a slower trend and reversal point

75% literally recent win rate in my less than capable hands!!

One has to decide if one wants to trade daily (long term) or intra - day (short term trades - in and out quick!)


IF you want to trade intra - day then I just cannot how it's possible without using EMA's

Kanzler is a PAIN in the F###ing ass dont' get me wrong, comes over as a class A Troll, locked horns with him many a time, but I did have to give him a V as I fear he can actually trade.

I've been working on MA systems for YEARS part time, I see ZERO value in all indicators as such ( MA is a Average nothing more )

So 3 / 7 cross, looks great if you filter out all of the chop trades where it crossed just as price stalls and you've got a loss again, couldn't ever filter out the losses live, and I TRIED!!

The using MA's as S/R, looks great, but the odds on any MA line holding on it's own are not enough, after the fact it looks great, using it live, I had some good runs and some account wiping moments, yes I could put this down to me being crap.

Any attempt to use a 200ema, then time the turn up with say a 10ema failed, left me open to too much chop yet again.

Not saying, it won't work for you, I struggle to trust and therefore use such methods live strangely.



But found my own personal grail and all of the above messing wasn't a waste of years it was valuable experience and if anyone says different I'll hunt them down and read Vogan Poetry to them!!

Stormtrader, here is GA today with that, there Envelopes put in a Envelope 26sma then in the devation enter 0.1%

Here is today's GA M5 chart, the big yellow is for direction ( NOT S/R at all )

Then trust the chop range, does need a leap of faith to just go with the 60's direction and trust the ranges, but it works with experience of when to get in.

The 1 trade I did live, about 8pips short of the top Long 1.7734 ( good entry ) and Exited short 1.7758 about 14 short of top but hey.

I have JMTINI flagged as a scammer aswell, keep making huge losses then makes an excuse and quickly deletes them, then when he eventually gets some wins we'll call it he bigs it up to attract interest then talks to them via PM's from the sound of it.

I use the 365 ,200 and 50 EMA's to look for areas of support and resistance then use the 8 and 21 EMA crossover for signs of change in trends.

Retested the 200ema on my M5 method and it's working well S/R and working well as a Price > 200ema Longs only on pull backs using my 26sma Envelope ranges to spot range / chop and take advantage off.

Before it was, is the 60 up and down, this is a lot more objective and much easier to back test.



Got to love the 200ema hey!!
