Moving Averages 101: Incredible Signals That Will Make You Money in the Stock Market

Moving average 101 is part of a series of books written by, Steve and Holly Burns (husband & wife team). [What this book is about] It goes in depth into the use of moving average, which is considered the most “popular” indicator. You’ll learn what are the short, medium and long term moving averages, and how you can use it in your trading. This is not some regurgitated stuff you’ll see elsewhere. This is the work and experience of Steve himself. Thus the way he explains and use moving average, is based on his own experience and results. You’ll learn how to use moving average to enter, exit and manage your trades. Steve provides a lot of charts and trading examples, which makes it very easy to understand. On top of it, it also explains the use of MACD and RSI , and how you can incorporate it into your own trading system. [What I like about this book] This is a book that is suited for new and experienced trader. For new traders, there are simple trading systems that you can use, or act as a foundation for your own trading plan. For experienced trader, you’ll see new ways on how moving average can be incorporated into your trading. For me personally, I had an “AHA” moment while reading it, which led to better trading entries. [What I don’t like about this book] There’s not much to dislike. But for traders looking for a comprehensive set of trading education, this book isn’t for you (because it focuses mainly on moving average). [Conclusion] At a price of $6.99, this is pretty much a no brainer. If you’re a trader who employs moving average in your trading, then this book is for you.

people who would attenpt to buy this book might question the author, they would ask.. For someone who has been trading for 20yrs why does he concentrate on just moving averages, RSI and MACD?? that is the beauty of the book, it shows that lesser indicators and a firm and disciplined trading plan by following your signals (not emotions) can go a long way. Steve has got it right. Buy this book together with the calm trader and the 39 most powerful stock market rules and you are good to go!

So after struggling with trading for so many months (and years) I decided I had to study harder, follow the smart people, reading like a mad man, watching youtube videos, signing up in newsletter, etc. You see, trading is very hard and is not because you need to know too much technical stuff, but because it involves psychological aspects of money management that requires one to be really prepared (nothing in life prepares you for that) Here comes Steve Burns with an approach which is really REALLY simplistic and straightforward for Swing Trading. I discovered him on twitter, made one of his online courses (new trading university), and now finishing his book. This is not only a book to read it and left behind....no, this is a book you can have at hand when making decisions on swing trading to help you go through. Nice add to my books trading collection

I'm trying to just get basic knowledge of basic market indicators, starting with these moving averages. I'm getting some guidance with this book, but I won't say it's perfect for me. For example, the author references in numerous areas the importance of using the 'RSI' with some moving averages. I didn't know what that was and thought I missed the explanation of 'RSI' earlier. I searched the term in the book, and there was no explanation. I also didn't know how to really interpret the candle-graphs. Easy enough to learn online, of course but I think it should all get tied in together. He uses other terms such as oscillators that need some definition and explanation as well. I'm not a complete beginner; it's been a few years since getting my BS in finance, and some of these are new to me. I will say I am liking this introduction to these indicators and his use of other reading/viewing references that hyper link online to articles/you tubes, etc. It's enough to get me going but I'll be looking for other readings.

This book is essentially a home study course for trend traders on how to utilize moving average lines to improve their trading. While this book is intended primarily as an introduction for new traders, I think beginners and pros alike will benefit from it. Steve Burns is an established trader and a gifted teacher of trading techniques. He is upfront early in the book when he explains that moving averages are not the "Holy Grail" of trading, but that they should be used as vital assistance tools for traders. This book explains how to use the 5-day EMA as a short-term momentum indicator, the 10-day EMA for capturing short-term trends in either direction, the 21-day EMA for identifying pullback zones, the 50-day SMA for identifying standard trends, the 100-day SMA for identifying oversold zones, and the 200-day SMA for recognizing major market pivot points. Late in the book, Burns reveals some very effective moving average crossover systems and explains how to combine moving averages with other indicators to take your trading to a new level. One thing I really like about this book is Burns' writing style. He doesn't waste time. He gets to the point and explains exactly what you need to know in order to benefit from these various moving average lines. This is an excellent guide that I would recommend for traders of all levels.

This quick read offers practical value to understanding the weight of various Moving Averages for immediate application to one’s trading style. Reminded me a bit of the audiobook “Manage Your Money Manager” that places a great emphasis on the 50 & 200 SMA. Both have helped me extraordinarily!

Solid background on how moving averages work and what differentiates them. There's some discussion of basic crossover strategies and rules associated. This is a basic / beginners book and I bought it due to the low price and general interest in the mechanics of averages.

Great little book easy read
