This video expands on the trend trading article I wrote for Trading Pub “The Tried, True and Tested Over Time Technique for Minimizing Risk While Maximizing Reward.”
By the way, this strategy works for day trading, swing trading and investing. It also works for trading the stock markets, futures (including E-minis) and the Forex markets.
In the article I shared that while I normally use the 50 period simple moving average for the intermediate-term trend, you can also use the 200 simple moving average for day trading or swing trading the long-term trend, thus providing you an even better reward-to-risk ratio.
To every upside, there’s a downside, and the challenge with using a long-term moving average for trend trading is that entries and exits aren’t always as easy to identify accurately.
This video picks up where the article left off, showing how I use some other tools along with the 200 SMA (simple moving average) for more precise entries.

I like it Barry. It seems though, that you trade mostly Day or 1000 ticks, Do you trade on a 1 min chart? If so … can you show some examples of entries/Strategies on a 1 min chart?

Hi BH,
Happy to help, but you’re basically asking for my entire course! I understand your financial situation at this time, and am sympathetic, but just giving you some indicators would do you more harm than good. The key to profitability is not in the indicators but in the methodology I teach in my courses. Also if you’re in such a bad situation that you can’t afford my course, which is very inexpensive, then you really aren’t in a financial position to trade. You need to have some discretionary money to put at risk. I wish you all the best and invite you to continue enjoying my free articles and videos (check out Top Dog Trading on YouTube) to further your education while you’re regaining your financial footing.
