Moving Averages are widely used in technical analysis of Forex. Many online currency traders on the market use this technical indicator as part of their forex strategy, as Moving Averages simple but clear forex information.
The upcoming articles we will discuss the most famous of the many, many technical indicators used to monitor the movements in the forex market to predict. SMA, EMA, Bollinger Bands, Stochastics, RSI, MACD, CCI Fibonacci levels and relative come along in a nutshell. This list is certainly not exhaustive and no single indicator is everything.
The purpose of these articles is to give an idea of the kind of tools that Zaal available to predict the price of creating precise. Further independent study is certainly necessary if you want to learn to use tools successfully. Besides, it is necessary also very valuable, because your success in trading will increase dramatically if you understand the major technical indicators.
Moving Averages (used by trend traders)
The easiest way to get a price to be appointed by looking at the relative value compared to other (previous) price levels. This can be done by calculating the Simple Moving Average or SMA.
The SMA is the representation of the sum of the closing prices of a traded good (when it comes to Forex currency pairs), divided by the number of closing prices. For a 10-period SMA count so the closing prices of 10 periods together and share the outcome then by 10. For every new closing price to add then let the elder out.
The disadvantage of SMA is that the "lag" (lag the reality of the moment) is high-price movements because it takes them a lot of periods ago, but it does pretty well the consensus of the market again. You get an idea about where the current price is compared to the trend.
Prices are above the SMA then there is an uptrend, they lie underneath it there is a downtrend. Simple, but useful nonetheless.
SMA derivative indicators, methods
More importantly, however, is that there are a number of indicators, and accurate methods are based on the idea of the SMA.

The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) acts as the SMA, but gives greater weight to more recent a period as he is. The idea behind this is logical: the more recent price movement, the more relevant it is for the future. An example of EMA calculation, the multipliers of the most recent price level (eg period 10) 10, period 9 of 9 etc. The EMA does this course faster to recent price changes than the SMA, but the chance of error is even greater because the earlier periods (almost) excluded from measurement. The differences between the SMA and the EMA are (logically) increases as the measuring period is larger (eg 20, 40, 65).
3 SMA filter
When the price action within a small bandwidth back and forth (oscillating), the error margin Moving Averages give even greater. Moving Averages, by definition, walk behind the facts (as indeed eventually all technical indicators) and when prices always go up and down a Moving Average no good prediction about what will happen next.
Many traders use why 'filters' of various Moving Averages and then pay attention to situations in which these different moving averages intersect (Moving Average crossover systems).
Traders then look at times when a short-term moving average a longer-term moving average crosses. Crossing the short-term moving average of the longer-term average from above, then a buy signal generated while crossing from below is a sell signal. Also this is a signal post, which actually buy / sell this crossover often not the right tactic.
retracement moves
The reason is that the actual crossing normally takes place only after a significant up-or downswing. Often such a swing, followed by a so-called retracement move whereby a part of the movement is again offset. This is because at that time traders with profitable positions often take their profits, while others try to get in on the top / down the move, making them the prices so the other way float.
So if you get in at that time (long in crossing from above, with short crossing from below) often buy and sell your top soil.
What did you think of?
The value of this type of moving average filters is much more located in the ability to assess the trend of the price action is located. If the short-term moving average above the longer-term moving average is the price action in an uptrend, and vice versa. The cross-over points then a trend break.
A well-known filter is the filter 3 SMA. It is about 3 SMAs with different periods. A frequently used, for example, for periods of 3, 20 and 65. Is the short SMA above the medium that rise above the long SMA than its prices in a clear uptrend. Simply translated: over a long period, the price X, over a shorter period he has X +1 and an even shorter period he has X +2, so the more recent higher.
The 3 SMA filter shows the trend so, but can not tell if the trend continues. Yet this is an important tool for the trader to trend oriented movements (compared with the range Oriented trader who is more interested in 'to and fro' movements). The tool is especially useful because it showed the trader when he should not be stepped on. Are the SMA's very close together, or are not in line with each other (briefly over medium, over long) then you know the trend trader that it was not the right time to step in, because there is no question of a trend , let alone which way he goes.
Tight to Wide 3 SMA Trade
An exception to the inability to use the 3 SMA filter for getting into a trade (for estimating in what market price is in is, uptrend, downtrend, range) when the 3 SMA's are close together and then apart start running in the correct alignment (briefly over medium, medium long at the top uptrend, and vice versa for downtrend).
The main reason is that boarding at this point very little risk entails very much potential but can generate. Why is it so little risky? Because between the time of crossing of the short-term moving average with the longer-term moving average and the actual situation little room price movement. There is much less chance of retracement and if there is already much smaller.
The argument for not switching to the crossing point was precisely because the crossing afterwards indicates where the big swing occurred, with the danger at the time of embarkation in the retracement move. If however, the SMA's are close together and then begin to fan out there is little to fear for retracement. The signal created what is now - at long trend: in the short term, prices are higher than in the medium term, which in turn higher than the long term is a good time to get on. You can now relatively tight stops, which you get out when the lines were supposed to meet again.
