{quote} Do you realize,that you're asking 12 years old thread?
Yes I know
But after a general search, asking questions was the only way here. I hope someone can help me
I have been trading successfully using sma and it works ! Thats the simplest technical tool. I want to know how about other technical tools- MACD, fib. Do they also give clear trade set up signals?
Can I ask what your preference is fo the SMa over eMAs?
{quote} Hi Please explain the relationship between the average of 200 and 1440? How can the signal be received?
There is no specific relationship between any moving average relations. You just pick a number and trade.
Example on how I do it.
I use 3 and 6 moving average for 4h chart so that translates to 12hr and 24hr average price. In other words the average price traded in the previous day.
So the comment you were referring to had 1440 period SMA on 1min chart so that translates to average price in the last 24hr. Which literally means the average price the asset was traded in the last 24 hr.
Similarly you could use 24period MA on 1hr chart for the previous day average price. etc..
Cheers

hi

MACD is "Woving average convergence/divergence (MACD) is a technical indicator that helps investors identify price trends, measure trend momentum, and identify entry points for buying or selling a security. Gerald Appel developed the MACD indicator in the 1970s, and it is still one of the most popular technical tools today.1 It is readily available on most trading platforms offered by top online" - investopedia, 2025.

I have only use MACD and these indicators for things like EA when discretionarily trading i don't use any indicator, MACD is good but alone it cant be used very well, try pair with something like RSI.

Fibonnaci is good, however, only works on some instruements... this is the one analysis everyoen forgets that is instrument analysis. EURUSD and XAUUSD behave differently... for example, BETA, PA and FIB respect
