breathe:Moving Averages

When I traded at Pristine in New York we used a similar method. We used 10, 20, and 50 day simple moving averages. As where Iqc uses 5,15, and 50 exponential averages. Actually I like the iqc settings. If you'll notice sometimes the %k and %d will cross slightly before the 5 day crosses the 15 and 50 day to the positive side. If stochastic lines cross and it looks like the moving averages will soon converge it certainly adds reliability to the trade and allows you to hold out for a larger profit.

I havn't checked yet, should have before I wrote, but there should be an indicator scan to let you know when the moving averages are crossing.

The moving averages will also give an indication if a stock still has momentum above 80 on stochastics.

I trade options primarily as a hedge against larger equity positions. I do occassionally purchase options simply for speculation, if I think a stock is setting up for a big run.

Regards,

J. Kelsey
