Moving Average + Price Action Trading Strategy

MA + Price Action Strategy with Example ā†’

Hey there šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

A moving average is a simple indicator that represents the arithmetic mean of prices over the past few periods. It helps us identify the underlying trend of a stock, and determine its support & resistance levels.

Although useful by themselves, combining moving averages with price action analysis can give excellent trade signals. In todayā€™s edition, weā€™ll be learning one such strategy.

Moving Average + Price Action Strategy

The idea of this strategy is to:

> Use longer timeframe moving averages to spot an underlying trend (weā€™ll be using 21-period moving averages to determine trends, also known as the ā€˜Goldilocks of Moving Averagesā€™)

> Take an entry when a bullish pattern is seen in the daily timeframe

Hereā€™s how you can create a long/short position according to the strategy ā¬

Long Trade:

1) The price should be above the 21-period monthly and 21-period weekly moving averages.

2) Entry can be taken when:

  • The price crosses over the 21-day moving average, or

  • A bullish candlestick pattern is formed just above the 21-day moving average

Short Trade:

1) The price should be below the 21-period monthly and 21-period weekly moving averages.

2) Entry can be taken when:

  • The price crosses below the 21-day moving average, or

  • A bearish candlestick pattern is formed just below the 21-day moving average
