wizardalltime Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 HI EVERY BODY , this is a comparison between trend line and moving average on targeting of mid term positions . first a quick review about each. the trend line : - What Does Trendline Mean? A line that is drawn over pivot highs or under pivot lows to show the prevailing direction of price. Trendlines are a visual representation of support and resistance in any time frame. in my opinion : trend line on daily frame if you draw it on a a right way can be your target but it`s moving so you must check it daily . second the moving average : - What Does Moving Average - MA Mean? An indicator frequently used in technical analysis showing the average value of a security's price over a set period. Moving averages are generally used to measure momentum and define areas of possible support and resistance. in my opinion : using moving average in trend reversing signals specially moving average 50 give a 66% approximately percent of real reversing signal the difference in :- in terms of a down trend to be broked in trend line all time it`s going down no mattre the price so it will give you signal first and before the moving line 50 (ex.) but the moving is affected directly with the increase in price which will make the moving missing 60% of the win buy position. thanks every one ......

adnan007 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have been using SMA on my charts to take new positions but never tried it with trendline. I never looks at the trend either if my trading system which contains 5 different indicators confirms a position to be taken. However, I do get losses with my trading system but not much then the consistent profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I still do prefer to use MACD than to use trendlines. As in MACD you can find a strenght of the reversal. And the reason why theirs a missing 60% as you say its because the reversal is not as strong as you think. trendlines does not detect how strong or how weak the reversal is MACD do. that's why you can see sometimes that the price still go up while the MACD is going down already simply because MACD detects the weak volume already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 In my opinion trendline is more powerful then moving averages. There are many moving averages used by different people, mostly 100 and 200 moving averages make good impact. But when it comes to trend lines there aren't many variations and millions of people do focus on them when making a trade, so i prefer trend line just ahead of moving averages.

ATSATS Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 i think the chart of forex is an art. trend line is used to give shape for analysis. but u should art the trend line with conscious. Don't forget that if you can not art the trend line in a proper way then you can not get profit. on the other hand u will lose your invest. so be careful. moving average is the best calculative indicator for forex trading. i think sma is the best (smooth). period 12 and shift 1 is the best format in my eye.

starwar1508 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sterling versus the U.S. dollar. If the exchange rate is 1.6550, it means is a BangAnh equivalent to U.S. $ 1.6550. Exchange rates move constantly and reflect market conditions change throughout the world and are affected by political or economic information and physical trading volume taking place. It operates 24 hours a day, five days a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standart Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 basically trend line or MA have same function. both of them used to read the current trend of the price movement. but according to me, trend line have more benefit because able to predict the potential peak of HH, HL, LH, and LL. trend line have same function as channeling. while MA unable to predict it and pure as indicator to reading the trend movement.

Alice Frampton Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I would always favor Moving Average since this is one of my favorite indicators to use and also results have been fairly good so far with this. Also, I am trading with OctaFX broker where they have latest cTrader trading software, it has updated charts and also all the latest system so that really helps with indicators as well because we get to know all the details and indicators become even more effective while can even know which trading session it’s going on thanks to this software.

myregister Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Why we should make it like this, for me i should combine trendline and moving average. Why? Because with combine it then we could get better view of the trend. Our trend is clearer rather than using one of them and of course will be easier to obtain bigger profit.

pepy Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Just choose which one that you think is more suitable for someone like you. TL and MA has its own good or bad things, if you combine it then TL and MA will give you more chance of seeing the current trend accurately compared only using one of it as indicator.

myregister Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think combining TL and MA will give more accurate prediction, with that a trader can see the trend clearly, with the cut between TL and MA all of trend become clearer rather than before, usually you may find around 3 or 4 times in one session.

tray22 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 They will bring more accuracy but the problem is always that you will never have something good to take if you have not try building a good and solid foundation for yourself in term of learning aspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
