Learning How to Use MA Crossover In Forex Trading

In this article, we will learn how to use forex trading strategy crossover using MA indicator.

Almost every trader must know how to explore, interpret and confirm the strategy MA crossover but let's talk about this strategy when prices are in a sideways condition.The depiction of a strategy of using graphics will make you easier to understand the MA crossover strategies because these strategies can produce a signal that can be confirmed by various types of other indicators.MA crossover strategy is often used by traders to predict price changes in market momentum.When the MA indicator gives a signal that has been set, the trader will try to interpret the signs that will appear when there is a change with respect to the momentum of price movements or change of direction of price movement.

But as we mentioned, are relatively common crossover strategy, and this strategy is unlikely to work well in the absence of confirmation from other tools.The signals generated by the MA crossover can be useful when the market began to move in trends but when the market is forming a trend, then the strategy will provide the MA crossover signal less significant than in early market movement.


Let us analyze the basic strategy MA crossover:


Moving Average Crossover

 For example, we'll use the indicator SMA (simple moving average) 13 that moves up above the SMA 100, or when the EMA (exponential moving average) 14 falls and moving below SMA 50 which makes each indicator moving average crossover.



In this example the MA crossover will give a signal that is not static and must be analyzed by the trader manually. This flexibility makes the MA crossover is much easier to adapt to changing market conditions and market trends so that the MA indicator can be very useful as an option trade.

MA crossover strategy can also be useful when the price moving average moving range although sometimes generate signals that are less firm and relatively low volatility.

Many traders choose to use the simple moving average for the indicator MA is slow, and the exponential moving average for the indicator MA fast, but this is not necessary, depending on the preference of the trader associated with the sensitivity indicator EMA indicator of price movements which can be used or even discarded altogether.

Moving Average Crossover when prices sideways
In chart 1 hour late on the pair AUD / USD, we see almost for three days the price is between 0.9319 and 0.9338 area, where the indicator MA 13 depicted in red are under indicator MA 100 yellow. Price moves ranging and fluctuates between support and resistance levels (shown as a gray area on the graph) where indicator MA 13 is in the area of ​​consolidation. MA is not an indicator of price action that will give the signal for the future, then it takes the effort of the price to breakout movement.

On April 4, around 03:00 hours meta time, soaring prices seen moving suddenly, which quickly led to SMA 13 did spike up movement and eventually rose above the yellow SMA 100, and crossover occurs, and after the price continues to move strong rally, eventually reaching the 0.9179 level.


In this scenario, the crossover is reinforced by the long duration of the consolidation pattern because prices will not continue to move quiet during prolonged, crossover eventually create a very reliable signal for price movements. Finally, the position buy an option when the indicator MA do crossover. How ?
