On a daily chart a 5 day EMA means the weekly EMA, 22-days EMA means monthly EMA and 55 days moving average, which is a quite commonly used one, representing two and a half months’ moving average. EMA’s of 5, 22 and 55 periods for crossover trading and to identify strength of trend. For example if using it on a 15 minute chart, then the 200 EMA will be using the last 200 periods from the 15 minute time frame. You can use this on any time frame to find trends or dynamic support and resistance.

You can use these rules for up- and down-trends, and they also work on different timeframes that you want to trade. SMA of 200 periods for longer term trends and positions. The 200 period EMA is using the last 200 periods of information to create a moving average on your chart. I set up some rules to identify a trend so that I know in which direction a stock is likely going to move. Let’s take a look at how I recognize trends early. So after digging a bit deeper and watching thousands of charts, I came up with this simple rule to confirm to myself that there is a clear trend going on in that particular stock. If you get a solid trend in h4 or daily time frame, then you can gain 500-1000 pips from one trade only. As this is a trendy strategy, so success rate of this strategy is excellent. The 8 MA is below the 34 MA on the SPX 30-minute chart signaling bearish markets for the hours ahead so either the 30-minute chart will prove correct or the 60-minute chart above will prove correct. If the SPX loses the 200 EMA, bad things will quickly happen to the stock market. So you can get signals according to the trend. The initial market price action did pierce under the 200 EMA.

200 EMA is very important technical tool to identify market trend. People usually show trends as they kept going for a long time already, but I always asked myself how I could recognize a trend early on? I don’t want to throw my money in when the trend is already extremely overextended and screams for a more significant pullback. This crossover strategy is based on 200 and 15 EMA.

If you know the direction of the stock on the daily chart, it makes finding an entry on the 15 min chart a lot easier. Before I show you how you can use the 20 EMA on the 15 min chart, it is essential to know how you can identify a trend on a higher timeframe like the daily chart.
