For example if you are watching 15 minute chart of S&amp;P500 pick 100SMA or 200SMA to help you decide should you be looking for buying or selling opportunities. Then wait for a minor pullback, and after seeing first strong trend bar in predefined direction, just place the stop order. This way you will have probabilities on your side. Using optimized number of periods for moving average will never work.</p>

<p id="isPasted">I don’t use simple moving average for day trading, it’s a laggard. I use EMA (exponential moving average) for trading along with other combinations.</p><p>EMA is sensitive to price action as compared to SMA by definition, any recent price action will be visible in EMA and not SMA so one should not use SMA for daily trades.</p>

<p>Simple moving average is a trend based indicators. Choose any stock which are going to be in trend. If stocks moves sideways then it will not work. You can combine slow and fast moving average combination for better results.</p>
