A 100 Ema and 150 Ema is for spotting the trends bt you could use the stochastics overbought and oversold with a combination of trendlines mixing the lows and higher highs and make a entry in trade for Intraday

It's been proven that a such trading strategy will kill your account !!! We know it for many years, even decades….Maybe you can use Moving averages as dynamic supports/résistances and also have a look at their "angle" which will give you information about the market conditions. A flat Moving average is telling you that markets are ranging, and a very angled Moving average is telling you that markets are trending. So you can trade according to the appropriate trading strategy. Nevertheless, thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing your idea and we appreciate it. I prefer to use a shorter period for EMA such as 50 and below.

[Fazlifts]

Thank you. I would enjoy a video on reliable reversal indicators (candles, patterns etc).

[joejasnie]

this is suitable for long term trades. if you're going for short term or swing trades better use 2 ema

I have had very mixed results with moving averages. After spread costs, I would say one tends to lose money overall, and I would not recommend it. The only time I find them useful is when a major breaking news happens in favor of a trend reversal. If you see the trend begin what appears to be a reversal (without actually crossing), and then a major news release comes out to help the reversal in the direction of the cross, one can probably take a risk and go for it early. Unfortunately, those news releases don't happen quickly enough to generate considerable profit over the long run.

Hi, I appreciate your videos, thanks for this.
Please make a vid for combining of moving average-21 with trend and CCI-55. I am trying to get used to trade with this combination and appreciate it really to experience what you experts say to this combination. Thanks in advance!

A video on trailing stop losses to use along these patterns would be educational and helpful.

If you are using 3 moving averages would you not use the alligator indicator, please help?

Serious question for someone at 212 trading. In the event of a nations currency collapsing and becoming near worthless like the Zimbabwe dollar or Venezuelan bolivar at what point would you suspend/stop trading the Instrument? Could someone risk losing profit if it's excessive due to a conflict of interest? I'm thinking about a potential position trade and short position on usd/zar if the ANC win the 2019 election in South Africa

[bhuvaneshtandon]

Which leading indicator works best with moving averages

[paulkaz]

Nice video, thanks. How do you determine where to place your setup loss when entering the trade?

Hey Peter!! very useful video, Thanks!! Could you please make a video on Trading using VWAP

[wealthtelevision]

@trading212 this method doest work due to the market whipping around can this be better resolved by complimenting this Indicator with a trend or volatility Indicator to identify when a trend is about to be formed or when volatility in the market goes up making it up stable

[traplikemax]

it seems like this indicator is not that good to use

[njtfter]

Good video content. Is there any chance you can make some videos on intra-day trading please?
