Description & Settings
There is no magic in moving averages but they can be used to form the basis of a simple trading strategy that works.
For some reason, Forex traders especially enjoy these types of strategies. You can develop many trading systems using averages but remember that complex trading strategies are not always best.
The Triple Moving Averages
As I mentioned, the 3 EMA’s will have different lengths and they will be:
55 period EMA
21 period EMA
9 period EMA
The 55 EMA will be considered the longer term trend direction indicator:
When the 55 EMA is below both the 9 and 21, we will consider the trend to be up
When the indicator is above both of the shorter term moving averages, we will consider the longer term trend to be down
The 21 EMA is considered a medium term trend indicator:
We want to see the 21 below the 9 and above the 55 for an uptrend
The 21 should be above the 9 and below the 55 for a down trend
The 9 period will be seen crossing over and under the 21 period more times than crossing the 55:
The 9 EMA crossing over the 21 while already above the 55, is an uptrend and looking for a buy trade
If it crosses below the 21 while already below the 55, that is a down trend and looking for a sell trade
