ah yes, you have it right. Once the MA pattern is trending up, by then it's obvious and it's usually too late to get in.

The Weekly 10-20-30 is probably good to watch for long-term uptrends, to buy the dips on the daily chart when the weekly trend is going up. Good idea!

ooh - try this. Take your Fan formula and make it a lower study for a chart. It looks like a step "up" from -3 could be a good entry...and when you're at +3, well you know what to do :)

Was looking at your "MA FAN" and you stated "by the time the fan is in place, the trend is stale".

I do not buy Puts,Calls,options nor do Forex but I try to read some members that I consider Very Good Traders and then adapt their style if it appears to work for my trading.

simplegreen is one that I read every post that he makes, to me (IMO) there is not a better trader on IHUB.

Now to my point scan for a cross of the SMA6 over SMA13 and you will see it gives you a early heads up for a "MA FAN".

Also if you have some that are already in your "MA FAN" put the SMA6 and SMA13 on your chart and see the reaction prior to the"MA FAN".

Those are the 2 main indicators that simplegreen uses and I have found them to be very effective.
