Different MAs for different markets and different charts.
I have the ability to keep a real lot of charts quickly available. Until a few months ago, I particularly liked 8,34,55 and the ubiquitous 200 on all charts.
For awhile I messed with 20, 32, 34 Exponentials. Stopped using 'em. There was a sound math reason why but it's buried in notes I have from at least a year ago. Probably two years.
Recently I read a book on using 4, 18, 40. Jury is still out on that. Seems better on trending commodities than SP.
Finally I've been keeping a few pages that have 30 minute charts from several markets......SP, JY, CD, DX, SF, S, US, and CL all with 20 MA but with those I key off a combination of RSI and MACD along with the twenty. Mixed results there also. Better on Currencies and Soybeans than SP or El Bondo. Nothing conclusive one way or the other on Crude.
Best I think I have ever used is the 8, 34, 55. Never found something outright superior since I first started with it almost 5 years now. I keep looking though...... |
