Hey guys, let me ask you a quick question.
[4]
Take a look at this chart with a 200 exponential moving average and try to find out what determined
[10]
the price to reverse right in this area and was unable to move higher?
[15]
What hides there and what is so important in that area that made the price reverse and
[21]
go the other way?
[23]
You could say that this is an area of resistance from the previous swing, and you would not
[29]
be wrong.
[30]
But there also something else hiding around that area.
[34]
And that’s another variation of a 200 moving average, and more specifically the 200 Hull
[41]
moving average.
[43]
And here it is, a perfect short opportunity, at an area of confluence, with the previous
[49]
swing and the 200 Hull moving average.
[52]
I‘m sure that many of you don’t use other types of moving averages besides the simple
[58]
and exponential ones, but in this video, we’ll discuss about the other moving averages you
[64]
should start paying attention to if you want to spot this kind of areas on your charts.
[70]
So, the moving average is probably the most well-known and heavily used indicator in technical
[77]
analysis because it effectively captures the trend in an easily identifiable manner.
[84]
Moving averages are used to calculate the average value of the price over a determined
[89]
period of time and are extremely popular among trend following traders.
[94]
Here are the main moving averages used by traders:
[99]
Simple moving average – SMA The simple moving average (SMA), the most
[103]
common one, represents an average of the closing price over a specified number of periods.
[110]
The simple moving average is more stable and signals the changes in price movements in
[117]
slow fashion.
[119]
For you to see the differences between the moving averages, we’ll plot these averages
[124]
on the same chart and we’ll use a 50 period in our analysis.
[128]
Exponential moving average (EMA) Then we have the exponential moving average
[132]
(EMA).
[133]
EMA gives a higher weighting to recent prices.
[136]
The shorter the EMA’s period, the more weight that will be applied to the most recent price.
[144]
The calculation method of an exponential moving average is much more complicated compared
[150]
to a simple moving average.
[152]
The most important thing to remember is that the exponential moving average is more sensitive
[158]
to the recent price dynamics.
[160]
Triple exponential moving average – TEMA Now, things begin to get interesting.
[165]
Here we have the triple exponential moving average – TEMA.
[168]
The triple exponential moving average (TEMA) seeks to reduce the lag of a typical exponential
[174]
moving average by tripling the weighting of recent prices.
[180]
TEMA responds to market movements quicker than the SMA or EMA.
[189]
Then, we have the adaptive moving average – AMA
[193]
The adaptive moving average (AMA) was created to improve the original exponential moving
[198]
average.
[199]
The adaptive moving average multiplies the weighting of an EMA by a volatility factor.
[206]
Thus, AMA adapts more quickly to the market by signaling when volatility conditions change.
[214]
Its main advantage over other moving averages is the fact that filters the noise in the
[219]
trend and automatically changes its speed considering the market volatility.
[226]
Then, we have the Hull moving average – HMA Hull moving average (HMA), was developed by
[232]
Alan Hull, is a fast moving average, responsive and with reduced lag.
[239]
Hull used several weighted averages in calculating this moving average and claimed that this
[246]
formula reduces market lag and increase smoothness at the same time.
[254]
Another type of moving average is the weighted moving average – WMA
[258]
The weighted moving average (WMA) was designed to find trends faster but without whipsaws.
[265]
The weighted moving average offers more relevance on recent price moves and reacts more quickly
[272]
to price movements than the simple moving average or exponential moving average.
[279]
And finally, the Jurik moving average – JMA Jurik moving average (JMA) is used by some
[285]
institutional traders.
[287]
Jurik claims that the jma is a powerful adaptive tracker that can smooth time series data with
[295]
very a small lag, no overshoots and no oscillations.
[303]
Traders use different settings of moving averages for different reasons.
[307]
Some are interested in the long-term trend, others want to trade based on the short-term
[312]
trend.
[313]
The length input of a moving average depends on the objectives of the trader.
[319]
Shorter moving averages are used for short-term trading while longer-term moving averages
[324]
are used by long-term investors.
[326]
Taking into account the length of a moving average followed by traders, there are 3 categories
[334]
of moving averages: First is the long-term moving averages – 200EMA,
[338]
365 EMA The most common exponential moving average
[340]
is the 200 EMA and many traders apply it on daily charts.
[345]
It is believed that many institutions like banks, hedge funds, forex dealers are following
[350]
this indicator.
[352]
If we take a look at this indicator on any currency pair, commodity, market index or
[357]
even cryptocurrencies, we can immediately see its value.
[362]
Then, the medium-term moving averages – 50EMA, 100EMA
[365]
Many traders prefer to use the 50-period moving average (50EMA).
[368]
This is considered a faster moving average as fewer input periods are used.
[374]
The primary effect is that this moving average will react more to medium-term movements.
[380]
50 EMA is considered one of the most effective trend indicators, offering also dynamic support
[388]
and resistance levels on a chart.
[391]
Also we have short-term moving averages – 10EMA, 20EMA
[394]
Short term mas are preferred by traders that want to trade with current market momentum.
[401]
The most common short term exponential moving averages are 10EMA and 20EMA.
[407]
These EMAs react the fastest to price movements.
[414]
Fibonacci moving averages – 5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144 EMAs.
[416]
Some traders often take their input values for EMAs from the Fibonacci sequence.
[422]
Most common Fibonacci-based exponential moving averages are 5EMA, 8EMA, 21EMA, 55EMA, 144EMA
[431]
and so on.
[434]
Traders must keep in mind that exponential moving averages are lagging indicators as
[438]
they are based on past information.
[441]
200MA will have a much greater lag compared to a 50MA because it includes market prices
[448]
for the past 200 periods.
[449]
The short-term EMAs respond more quickly to new price changes, but at the same time offer
[457]
more false signals.
[459]
So, a trader must find a balance when using exponential moving averages.
[463]
Choosing one of the types of moving averages depends directly on the style and preferences
[469]
of each market participant.
[471]
A simple moving average responds more slowly to new price changes, while exponential moving
[478]
averages or weighted moving averages provide a larger number of trading signals, many of
[484]
which may be false.
[486]
So, it all depends on your trading style and your trading objectives.
