Richard, Thanks for your post on moving averages. My question this time had to do with the length of the moving average you like to see price cross. Do you like to see price cross, say, the 50-day TSMA, or the 89-day, or the 200-day? I know you've posted much about moving averages in the past, but I'd sure like to know the specific one you most prefer to watch for opening long positions. With such a short window (1-3 days to enter), a mistake of using too short or too long of an MA will kill the novice trader. Too short -- whipsawed to death. Too long -- window closed, now heading lower. Opinions from others here are also appreciated. Thanks, Nicholas
