The moving averages on my charts are: TMA 5, TMA 21 and TMA 34. My daily trades are based on 15 minute intraday time frame and for my long term trades are based on 8 hour time frame chart. Other indicators are MACD and Pivot points. You will see how we put this indicators together to confirm our entry points in the sell and buy trades below.
