How To Use Moving Average Crossover Like A Pro *Forex Trading*
introduction to moving average crossovers and simple trading systems part one there are many other useful momentum indicators moving average crossovers like Bollinger Bands moving averages can also be adapted to momentum indicators as well as support and resistance markers by plotting multiple moving averages of different time spans on our charts we create a useful momentum indicator the moving average crossover moving average crossovers come in two types the first type is price which crosses over or under a given moving average the second one is shorter duration moving averages which cross over or under longer slower moving averages each type signals changing momentum that could be an early signal of a changing price trend when the price crosses over or under an important moving average that crossing can be a signal of a possible momentum change which in turn signals a trend change rather than rely on just DD B's to signal changes in momentum you'll get a more reliable signal of changes in momentum and trend by waiting for confirmation from one or more other momentum indicators like moving average crossovers for example traders using both types of signals would not close a long position until both of the following signals occur price moves below the dbb buy zone and price crosses below a moving average in other words they wouldn't bet on a trend change until they get both of the above signals confirming the end of an uptrend let's see this idea in action look at figure eight point nine below in addition to a set of double Bollinger Bands there's a 50-day SMA note that during the months of October and November of 2010 gold fell twice out of its upper dbb by zone but never made a clear lasting move below its 50-day SMA those who used only the DBB rules lost time and money closing and then re-entering long positions as gold bounced out of and back into its DVD buy zone in contrast those who held their long positions until they saw confirmation that the uptrend was over from both of the following signals continued to ride the trend higher price moving below the d BB buy zone price crossing below the 50-day SMA to confirm a change in momentum and the trend similarly traders using both indicators to confirm momentum changes might not take bets on new uptrends until they get confirmation of strong upward momentum from both of the following signals price crossing above the 50 period SMA price entering the d BB buy zone new downtrends until they get confirmation of strong downward momentum from both price entering the DB b sells own price crossing under the 50 period SMA
