If the 35, 50, 85 moving averages on this particular stock had seemed to be converging about 2 months ago after establishing a position about 7 months ago how would you react in case the stock had continued to fall apart? Or does fundamental knowledge about a particular stock make you more sanguine about this sort of technical event? I, for instance, might put in a sell stop not too far below the longer term MA. And perhaps increase my position when a rounding of the averages starts to indicate a consolidation. Although, again, MAs would probably react too slowly to be a sole indicator, whereas MACD or Stochy might have shown a divergence earlier than the actual round up of even the shortest MA.
