king aka mr moose do you fear my pen
[6]
in this video we're going to go over how to use a聽 moving average there is a lot of videos out there聽聽
[12]
people teaching moving average in either very聽 complicated way or [ __ ] you really don't need聽聽
[16]
to know what i'm saying or a very simple way where聽 you're going to use it and lose money so i'm going聽聽
[22]
to teach you how to properly use a moving average聽 and identify moving average that you would like to聽聽
[28]
lose lose use use for your particular day trading聽 style the different moving averages there are some聽聽
[35]
calculations of them what makes sense to you聽 for your anxiety level when it comes to trading聽聽
[41]
because moving average crossovers are not it all聽 right they usually get you into the trade late聽聽
[47]
unless you have moving averages such as mine that聽 don't do that right there's a reason why i made聽聽
[53]
them that way but the ones that you get like聽 simple moving average crossovers exponentials聽聽
[57]
either get you in too fast false breakouts here聽 and there and you want to get caught up in that so聽聽
[62]
in this video i want to go over just how to use a聽 moving average identify it different settings etc聽聽
[69]
etc let's go over to the charts all right guys so聽 in this video i'm not gonna try to over complicate聽聽
[75]
it try to make it real quick we're gonna go over聽 what a moving average is and how to use one so a聽聽
[80]
moving average is a line that plots on your chart聽 that gives you the average of current price data聽聽
[88]
so you will hear reference to the 200 day period聽 moving average the 20 the 50 the 100 period day聽聽
[96]
moving average and all that means is majority of聽 the time traders like to trade the daily chart so聽聽
[101]
they're referring to the amount of candles聽 that movement average is calculating so let's聽聽
[106]
plot the three most commonly used moving averages聽 and as time progresses i am going to introduce聽聽
[112]
you to others um that we actually have built into聽 the dawn itself there's so many there's the whole聽聽
[117]
there's the jma the edsma the you know there's聽 so many moving averages that you can learn about聽聽
[123]
that calculate price differently so right now we聽 have the simple moving average and right now it聽聽
[129]
is set to a period of 21. and what does this mean聽 that right now on us 30 on the daily time frame聽聽
[136]
it is calculating the average price of 21 candles聽 what you have to know about all moving averages聽聽
[143]
is they are what's called lagging indicators and聽 what a lagging indicator is it does not predict聽聽
[149]
future price movement but only adjusts based on聽 past price movement so if i were to rewind from聽聽
[156]
right here right you can see that as price already聽 broke up above here the moving average is just聽聽
[163]
catching up here and as price continues boom you聽 can use it as an entry signal now another thing聽聽
[169]
that's good for moving averages is they act as聽 what's called dynamic support and resistance if聽聽
[175]
you haven't seen my support and resistance video聽 please go check that out but basically at the end聽聽
[179]
of the video i go over real quickly how you can聽 utilize it right it's basically a moving support聽聽
[184]
and resistance in conjunction with a combination聽 of other ones you can use it as entries and to see聽聽
[190]
zones right so for example here you have a lot of聽 rejections and the moving average is moving real聽聽
[196]
close to price and you can see it's rejecting聽 and rejecting and you can start using this聽聽
[200]
as you're moving support and resistance and聽 your bullish engulfings or however you want to聽聽
[204]
use your entry signal right reject it here you聽 could enter and call all that and then once it聽聽
[209]
breaks down it acts like support right broke聽 retest broke back up came back down and then聽聽
[215]
here you go right and you can see here聽 as price danced above it boom you could聽聽
[219]
have entered off these rejection points and聽 you're here you would have caught this so聽聽
[223]
with the 21 period simple moving average this聽 one's mostly used for longer period trading聽聽
[231]
because it's an average of just strictly whatever聽 period you set it to now another famously used聽聽
[238]
moving average you can use is the ema exponential聽 moving average and if i place that on the chart聽聽
[243]
you can see that's the white line you can see聽 the calculation behind this moving average is聽聽
[249]
slightly different so even though it's calculating聽 the same 21 and of course you can change it to any聽聽
[254]
number that you want it is calculating closer to聽 price so compared to the simple moving average聽聽
[260]
the exponential moving average can move a little聽 bit faster to price and this is one that's more聽聽
[266]
commonly used on lower time frames to react聽 even though it's still a lagging indicator聽聽
[272]
it reacts to price change a little bit faster聽 so you can see that how the green line which聽聽
[278]
is the simple moving average is kind of floating聽 above but the exponential when it crossed the same聽聽
[283]
point here actually followed price a little bit聽 closer so another moving average that's also used聽聽
[289]
is the weighted and we made this red and you can聽 see that is exactly that if it's weighted and it's聽聽
[295]
way closer it's pretty much on top of price聽 in either direction now you can see that it's聽聽
[301]
stuck to price like a glue and it actually moves聽 closer to price um compared to the other ones聽聽
[307]
how can you use the exponential simple for entry聽 signal now if i were to jump down to let's say the聽聽
[314]
one hour time frame and i got the simple moving聽 average what people like to do and you can see聽聽
[320]
how it crosses the lower you make your moving聽 average the faster it is so if i made this 10聽聽
[328]
it is calculating it's going to start calculating聽 the past 10 candles compared to current price聽聽
[333]
right and you can see how price change it got聽 a lot quicker so i added another moving average聽聽
[340]
right and i made this period let's say 21. i can聽 start using this as signals right so the green one聽聽
[349]
is my 10 my 21 is um the slower one compared to聽 the 10 because it's calculating more price data聽聽
[356]
than the other one now you can also use in聽 conjunction with the um 200 moving average and聽聽
[364]
i'm also going to plot another one real quick so聽 200 will show you the overall trend in the market聽聽
[370]
if you have uh we went over how moving averages聽 can be used as dynamic support and resistance聽聽
[377]
the 200 period moving average is used to show the聽 overall trend of a market on a current time frame聽聽
[385]
so now it's calculating 200 candles and of course聽 it's going to move a lot slower compared to the聽聽
[390]
other ones because it's calculating more candles聽 than it is but if you were to look across you can聽聽
[396]
see how it reacts to price as a major dynamic聽 support and resistance resistance support聽聽
[403]
support here resistance support here support here聽 resistance broke through became support you can聽聽
[411]
see how it can be used as a really good dynamic聽 support and resistance is this is kind of like聽聽
[417]
teaching you a strategy and also teaching you how聽 to use movement damage moving averages uh to your聽聽
[423]
advantage so what lower periods from like you聽 know zero to pretty much 21 that's famously used聽聽
[431]
can calculate short term trends because they are聽 reacting to short-term price now if i were to put聽聽
[438]
another a moving average such as the 50 this is聽 one that's used for mid-term price trend so you聽聽
[445]
can see that this is the the 200 is the long-term聽 and the 50 period is our mid you know short term聽聽
[451]
midterm um price trend identification so you can聽 see that it's calculating only 50 candles of price聽聽
[459]
but it's giving you a better overall trend so聽 how can you use this conjunction with four simple聽聽
[465]
moving averages for price entries well 200 is now聽 at this point right here is resistance it broke聽聽
[473]
through we had our buy signal right from beneath聽 it we had our buy signal we got the cross right聽聽
[480]
beneath it price broke retested our 200 which is聽 um it became support and now you can enter for the聽聽
[489]
buy because we have a confirmation of now what聽 not only did it break resistance became support聽聽
[495]
prices above the 200 moving average right which聽 is one in the same way i just explained we had聽聽
[500]
our buy signal from down here and our 50 period聽 moving average is showing us the midterm um to聽聽
[507]
possible long-term price trend right so we could聽 have entered here used our atr if you haven't聽聽
[514]
seen my atr video click the link above to check聽 that out how to calculate your stop loss and your聽聽
[519]
take profits and got a nice little entry here now聽 you can also use moving averages again or moving聽聽
[526]
dynamics upon resistance so you can use the 50聽 period preferably better to see where your price聽聽
[532]
can possibly pull back so because it's a lagging聽 indicator how i've always been able to identify聽聽
[539]
certain peers or price may come back to is my聽 moving averages so you can see right we got that聽聽
[547]
breakup and then you also know that price has to聽 pull back at some point when the 50 period decides聽聽
[553]
to finally get here i can identify this point this聽 point this point this point this point all the way聽聽
[559]
to my left if you haven't seen my support and聽 resistance video go check that out because again聽聽
[564]
all these moving averages are doing are聽 calculating past price data the only differences聽聽
[570]
to make is what type of moving average you use聽 which one that you're comfortable with and what's聽聽
[575]
your trading style if you are someone that likes聽 to hold positions for a decent amount of time聽聽
[580]
a simple moving average will probably do better聽 for you because it gives you a better average of聽聽
[585]
price without giving you fake outs and stuff like聽 that such as the exponential or weighting that聽聽
[591]
reacts to price data a lot faster right so you聽 know play that through and you can see how price聽聽
[597]
rejected off that 50 period rejected again and聽 then price continued to go in that direction um
[605]
even though it did break down a little聽 bit the 200 period is acting as your major聽聽
[610]
support and then you still have confluence to聽 enter on that cross broke above the 50 and then聽聽
[617]
you could definitely entered right over here for聽 the rest of that trade right and again i didn't聽聽
[624]
you know i didn't uh cherry pick i'm giving you聽 guys live examples here right so that is how to聽聽
[632]
use the simple moving averages right so let's聽 start putting a whole bunch of exponentials聽聽
[637]
on the screen so you can see how in comparison聽 how those work let's put some on the screen here聽聽
[644]
right so let's put the 21 period on the聽 screen and then let's make it another 50聽聽
[650]
and then let's make this one 100聽 and then let's also make this 200聽聽
[657]
right so we have our 21 50 100 and 200 period聽 moving average exponential moving averages聽聽
[665]
now let's go back to where price was before right聽 into this example compared to the simple moving聽聽
[671]
average you can see that price is actually a lot聽 tighter right a lot tighter and let's keep it聽聽
[678]
consistent actually let's add another exponential聽 because i actually want to get a little bit more聽聽
[683]
in depth and let's put that 10 back on right just聽 just put that 10 back on and let's make that one
[691]
blue right stuck on price and what聽 the exponential can really help with聽聽
[696]
is um assets that are very volatile such聽 as us 30 especially when using on the five聽聽
[702]
minute time frame now here's how i want you to聽 learn how to identify price volatility you see聽聽
[707]
how i have all these different combinations of聽 the same ema i have the 10 which is calculating聽聽
[713]
price data of the last 10 candles the 21 period聽 50 100 and 200 right as price gets more volatile聽聽
[722]
these movement averages spread if you were to聽 take your your your hand and make it into a fist聽聽
[728]
and then spread them wide open think about it just聽 like that showing you how volatile price is going聽聽
[734]
or can be the more it spreads right in all of聽 these all the space in between each moving average聽聽
[743]
can react as a zone within itself why is this聽 important because once you start getting really聽聽
[749]
good at utilizing indicators and of course right聽 i don't teach moving average basic moving average聽聽
[755]
crossovers because of course the don itself聽 is really a moving average crossover but it's聽聽
[760]
a little bit more advanced than what i'm showing聽 here most moving average crossovers actually get聽聽
[764]
you into late signals but look compared to the聽 simple moving average that actually got you in聽聽
[769]
at this the exponential got you in on the break of聽 this long candle right you get in a lot faster and聽聽
[776]
why because the exponential is actually reacting聽 to price a lot faster so when price comes back聽聽
[781]
and reject we went over how you can get entries聽 off the 50 period moving average right and then聽聽
[786]
that one candle here broke down but look where聽 it rejected off the 100 period moving average聽聽
[792]
so now as you accumulate it again you can also聽 use the sandwiching of moving averages to identify聽聽
[800]
ranging markets when you have a system of them聽 together and these are widely known right i'm聽聽
[806]
not teaching nothing new you know the combination聽 of these exact numbers are widely known um you can聽聽
[813]
see when they sandwich um you have accumulation聽 when they spread you see volatile movement聽聽
[819]
when they sandwich you see accumulation when聽 they spread down you see volatile movement and聽聽
[825]
it's just reacting off price data and you can use聽 these as dynamic rejection zones right so as price聽聽
[834]
on the 10 comes down it's testing that 21 you聽 know if you trade bullish engulfings that's a聽聽
[839]
good entry right it broke down here and you want聽 to identify like should i keep holding this trade聽聽
[844]
well you have an exponential moving average that's聽 moving extremely fast right so i wouldn't rely on聽聽
[851]
that 10. maybe the 21 and then the 50. if it broke聽 off broke from my 50 i'm gonna have to look up聽聽
[858]
to my left institutional candle long candle has聽 to come correct if it rejects off my 50 right i聽聽
[865]
think it's a morning star pattern right um you can聽 enter on that and hopefully you guys see how you聽聽
[873]
can use moving averages more than just you know聽 simple moving average crossovers right and then聽聽
[879]
this is kind of cool what happens is when you get聽 reversals right you master market structure your聽聽
[885]
master support and resistance if you haven't seen聽 my market structure video go check that out right聽聽
[890]
this area right here price broke and now where聽 price is now accumulating between the 100 and聽聽
[896]
200 period moving average rejected from the top聽 rejecting from the bottom right and then if i go聽聽
[902]
cover this and then just extend this left one聽 this zone the tops of these zones right so you聽聽
[912]
can use this and it's very powerful if you learn聽 how to really just identify how to use indicators聽聽
[918]
properly instead of just you know gain buy and聽 sell signals from you know fake algo companies聽聽
[926]
so if you really you learn how to use them they're聽 really really good assets so look let's go boom聽聽
[933]
and get rid of that let's add some weighted moving聽 averages and do the same thing right so let's
[946]
10 21 50 100 200. now can you guys spot any聽 difference between the exponential and weighted聽聽
[956]
it is so tight on price right聽 it's really really tight on price聽聽
[960]
you're going to be subjected to a lot of聽 fake outs even the 200 period moving average聽聽
[965]
you're gonna get faked out a lot you're going聽 to get faked out a lot and not to say this isn't聽聽
[970]
a good moving average it can be in conjunction聽 with other ones can be really really good right聽聽
[976]
still acts like your dynamics are point resistance聽 but it reacts to price data a little faster so聽聽
[981]
where can you use this where it could be a聽 little bit more effective well if you're a聽聽
[987]
scalper this is probably your dream because聽 it just reacts really well same rules apply聽聽
[992]
right if you have your shorter term moving average聽 crossing over a longer term moving average it聽聽
[997]
gives you buy and sell signal then you use the聽 other higher ones to confirm trend direction and聽聽
[1002]
then there you go right real tight snipe entries聽 here but if you're not careful and if you don't聽聽
[1008]
have experience in the market you can get faked聽 out a lot right you can get faked out a lot but聽聽
[1013]
you can see on pairs such as us 30 on the five聽 minute shoot we can even go down to the one minute聽聽
[1019]
and you can see how you can utilize it to聽 enter real real snipe entries comparatively聽聽
[1026]
to a small moving average if i was just a not聽 a small moment now just simple moving average
[1033]
right let's just make this one let's make this聽 one 21 and just make it white and really bold聽聽
[1040]
right that's the 21 period weighted that's the 21聽 period simple and look at the difference between聽聽
[1047]
uh price catching it just gets you in the way聽 to get you in real real snipey real snipe real聽聽
[1055]
tight close to entry and that's why i recommend聽 if you're using a scalping strategy exponential聽聽
[1061]
exponential weighted is probably best friend聽 if you're trading higher time frames and聽聽
[1065]
you're holding positions a little longer then聽 a regular moving average simple moving average聽聽
[1071]
might be better for you so you won't get whip聽 sold out of trade so that's just a quick video聽聽
[1076]
of understanding simple moving averages the three聽 basic ones right you got your simple weighted and聽聽
[1083]
exponential moving averages and the more famously聽 periods that you can set to identify trend聽聽
[1089]
direction in this next video we're going to start聽 going over how to use a baseline and how to trade聽聽
[1093]
with the trend all right guys if you found that聽 video helpful drop a like for me smash it smack it聽聽
[1100]
do whatever you got to do over there in the聽 description down below is my training view聽聽
[1104]
my instagram my discord my free discord of free聽 signals and chat and my seven day free trial you聽聽
[1110]
get access to absolutely everything um you know聽 like everything you know indicators algos bots聽聽
[1119]
my daily calls i think i said signals already聽 like everything for seven days all right see聽聽
[1125]
you guys in the next video you don't need me no聽 friends back on my head and they wanted me david聽聽
[1129]
you still see me with the roof of the bench聽 my [ __ ] is bad at boujou ain't gonna back聽聽
[1133]
you don't matter to me super big guns like it's聽 call of duty say this your man's really radically
