Many traders follow different types of moving average crossover trading strategy but the main problem with such MA/EMA cross over system is whipsaws. When market goes in range bound, many times you get false breakouts which increases your losses/drawdown. How one could avoid such false breakouts and also gain from large trend the stock establishes?

The answer is move to larger time frame. Yes, This strategy explains how trader can benefit from Trend Following by following a simple EMA crossover system when applied on weekly time frame.

Buy rules: Go long when 10 EMA is greater than 50 EMA

Sell rules : Exit when 10 EMA is lesser than 50 EMA

Time frame : Weekly

Many of you must have invested in stocks like Yes Bank, DHFL, Graphite, HEG etc. All these stocks were once a fundamentally strong stocks but due to sudden shift in their business prospects all these stocks tanked and many traders/investors do not know when to exit. Following this strategy rules would have helped you to exit at the right time.

DHFL Trade results: It gave only two trades, both together ended up with 130% returns.

Graphite Trade results : Graphite gave multi fold returns with 653% returns in just one trade,

Stock went from 90 Rs. levels to Rs.1000 levels but many investors were stuck in this stock as it tanked to Rs.200 levels now, however following this strategy would helped you to exit at the right time, as it gave exit signal when stock was at Rs.700.

Even if you apply to Index heavy weights stocks like HDFC, KOTAKBANK you make exception returns.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing.

How about using EMAs 5days and 21days on daily chart for positional trade of a few days Or weeks? Or you think any modifications are required?

Remember MA doesnt move the markets its the markets that move the MA
