Hi everyone - another weekend and out of habit I check this thread ----- it's funny though, even though I've got this thread on "watch" I don't get any notifications anymore when someone posts - I'm blaming that on the new site, so I think nothing has happened for days and then get a surprise when I see how many have posted. So apologies for the late "likes" or as we now say "Upvotes".
@wilfran1pm - I notice your post about the MMA's, I have drifted away from indicators overall a bit but I still have a screen set up that I do check every now and then for trade entries or to get an idea of the general trend of a stock - as you can see the MMA's are there but the one I do like is an oscillator of the MMA's with a signal line. I've superimposed mine over the price plot. Signal line is in red.
I've circled a few points on this MPL chart (only because I knew I had MPL in a folder) to show the signals given when the oscillator crosses above and below the signal line. The other way to use it was to wait till the oscillator was above the signal and both are above zero for a safer long trade. I can remember forming an opinion that this technique of crossovers gave better exit signals than entry ---- plus of course you can see the false signals as well which are inherent in all indicators/oscillators.
