Intermediate Lesson on Moving Averages

The speaker provides a lesson on moving averages.  He talks through 3 simple techniques for using moving averages.  He uses the 200 day exponential moving average and suggests that it is important that the moving averages be coupled with other indicators, such as the ADX, to determine a true signal.  Moving average systems can have many whipsaws so it is important to know when to use them.  When a stock is within a trading range, moving averags are of no uses, especially, longer term averages. 

Another way to trade moving averages is to insert a second MA into your chart and create buy and sell signals when they cross over each other.
