Guppy Multiple Moving Averages - Anyone uses them?

[babymush]

Hi

Anyone uses Guppy MMA? How do you use them? Trend change or reversal or retracements?

What are your buy signals?

Do you add any other indicators to them to improve the system?

Anyone?

Seems not a lot. But you can do a search and find bundles on them.

The thing is, it's the 'same old same old'...slower MA against a faster MA. How many ways can you combine these things? I'm not saying it's not useful - it can be. But there's nothing magical about them.

Happy hunting.

The best tool I've come across - the compression and expansion you see on both sets of averages gives an insight that you don't get from other methods in my experience (I've been trading 7 years, and have tried a lot of other methods!)

Check out the GMMA on 1 hour forex charts - seems to be a natural fit, though they can be used on any time frame. Probably best for retracements though they can be used very profitably for reversals, but that requires more experience, I think.

For more info see his book 'Trend trading'.

I use Guppys multi MA trading system ideas in some of my strengthmeter stuff.....but more the concepts than the settings....

useful as long as you are aware of the obvious pitfalls in MA trading
