Moving Average Trend Trading
The Moving average trend trading strategy is usually set a 1-minutes and 5-minutes time frames:
- For Long positions (the same could be done fort short positions)
- Set a 9 Exponential Moving Average 9 (EMA)
- I a trend is established around the 9 EMA, check the previous days’ trading data (1-minute or 5-minute chart) to analyse if the cryptocurrency is responding to these moving averages.
- Buy the cryptocurrency after confirmation of the EMA as a support
- Buy as close as possible to EMA line in order to have a small stop loss.
- Set the stop loss just below the EMA or is a candelstick closes completely below the EMA
- Ride the trend until the break of the moving average
- Constantly monitor and observe the trend with your eyes
- If the cryptocurrency is moving really high away from the EMA, there is a really nice unrealized profit, take some profit (e.g., half position)
- Sometimes one can exit before the end of the moving average
- If the price pulls back to the moving average, you may add to your position and continue the trend ride.
Advices
- Experienced traders wait for a 5-minutes candlestick to completelly close above EMA before getting out (during a short position).
- A sudden break of 9 EMA with low volume may not be a good indicator of a trend comming to an end.
