This week I’ve got a question by Vinayak who asked…
“Which is the best moving average to use?”
And I’m sure many of you want to know the answer as well.
But here’s the thing:
There isn’t a best moving average out there.
Why?
Because the word best is subjective. You can use a moving average to act as a trend filter, to identify areas of value, to set your stop loss, and etc.
So, what’s your purpose of using a moving average indicator?
Once you can answer that question… then maybe you can find a moving average parameter that suits your trading approach.
Make sense?
Good.
So in today’s episode, you’ll learn:
- How to find the best moving average for your trading approach
- How to use moving average to identify areas of value
- How to use moving average as a trend filter so you can trade with the trend
PLUS…

Hey Jay
Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you appreciate it.

Hi Nasir
I will give more weight to the entry timeframe. Alternatively, you can wait till both are aligned before taking the trade.
as a trader we need stocks that are actively trade or having daily movement. finding stocks that are actively traded is tough job.with your videos i am able to find trend in stocks.but to make constant profit we need to select stock that gives movement within a week.how to select stocks for trading?
Hi Vinayk
You can’t force the markets to move in your favor.
All you can do is to trail your stops and let it reward you.

Hi Rayner,
Good Day! I follow your post and whatever I have learnt it is from your post.
I am a new in Forex trading. And I am using 20,50&200 Ma for trade.
And it works for me good. But I have question, I see in daily chart. Where moving average where price is above 200 ma,later when I see 4 chart where price is below 200 Ma. So what should I follow to it is uptrend or downtrend??
I am looking forward your kind suggestion.
Thanks
