10/18 The first method to reduce whipsaws is to use a shorter moving average instead of the closing price. The chart below shows the S&P 500 with the 5-day SMA in green and the 200-day SMA in red. Notice that the 5-day SMA held above the 200-day SMA in late March and early April. The 5-day SMA also held above the 200-day SMA over the last five days, but is close to a cross right now.

All my posts are just my opinions. I receive no compensation for
posts. These posts are for entertainment purposes only. I may be
long or short or hold no position.
