  • Moving average system

    I'm interested in programming a moving average trade activation system that I have done research on. Can this be done and back tested through e Signal and is anyone willing to help. My research shows this application to be very profitable and I would be willing to work with individual towards usage for programming intelligence. The general concept is one based on a long/short position based on a closing price interval then overlayed with a percentage profit taking mechanism regarding 50% of the position. Any help welcome

    sure...

    Fire it over if you like...

    If you want to keep it private, then we'll sign an NDA.. If not, it will be a great exercise for other BB members.

      I would be extremely highly sceptical on using MA systems, they are as faulty as one can get! Be very careful!!! I have tested as many as possible systems on MA'a and they have all turned out junk. Almost all successful traders would never think of using a MA system, unless you are using some type of long-term system... Then I think the system would be below average!

      JMHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        I agree with FibGann...

        Most of the time, MA systems are not very good (although I have seen some that do quite well). As everyone keeps saying - it all boils down to "risk management".

        One interesting fact is that the Japanese believe the MAs are the most powerful indicator created by the "West". So, that might lead to some interesting findings.

        My personal belief is that MA are strong, but traditional use of them is falwed. Maybe there is some way we have not considered that is fantastic???
