What is a moving average ribbon<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moving average ribbon is a series of moving averages of different lengths<\/strong> plotted on a chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic idea behind the concept of \u201cmoving average ribbons\u201d is that instead of using one or two moving averages on a chart, you are using a bunch<\/em> of moving averages, usually between 6 to 16 moving averages (or more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All on the same chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at an example\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traders can determine the strength of a trend<\/strong> by looking at the smoothness of the ribbon, as well as identify key areas of support or resistance by looking at the price in relation to the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Set Up a Moving Average Ribbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common question is \u201cHow many moving averages do I use?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really depends on the trader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some traders like to use six to eight<\/strong> simple moving averages (SMA) set at 10-period intervals, such as the 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60-day SMAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other traders like to set up with SIXTEEN (or more)\u00a0simple moving averages\u00a0varying from a 50-day to a 200-day SMA and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The argument for using longer-term\u00a0MAs\u00a0is that it gives a more accurate look at the overall trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then other traders like to use\u00a0exponential moving averages<\/strong>\u00a0instead of simple moving averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s really a matter of preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
