[QUOTE="StockTradingWarrior, post: 2198451, member: 774478"] Great question. As Karen said they keep her on the right side of a trend, but it's probably not a complete buy or sell signal. I would also agree with Karen that the market's downward trend may be ending. You could do as you mentioned and use a moving average to signal buy/sells. Many traders/investors use this strategy as well as MA crosses. There's also a strategy called 50/50 where trader's get into a stock when the price gets over the 50-day MA and the RSI is over 50 as well. Check that out and see if it may work for you. Determining trend can be done with additional technical indicators. My favorite is the average directional index or ADX. How the ADX may help you better is it rates the strength of a trend on a scale of 1 to 100. A rising line over 25 is considered a trend.
