Basics of the moving average:

It takes average of the price for the duration we want.

So 10 days moving average means an average price of 10 days closing price.

Common types of Moving Average:
Simple, Exponential, Weighted.

Use only one type in your trading setup.

Different uses:

1โƒฃ Moving Average Crossovers:

Common strategy used by positional traders and investor in finding multibagger or good returns stocks.

Common crossover used is for 50 & 200 Moving Average.

Also, this is called as "๐—š๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ"

In this buy signal is initiated when lower MA (50 EMA) crosses above higher MA (200 EMA).
And exit or sell signal is intiated when lower MA (50 EMA) crosses below higher MA (200 EMA).

4/10
Let's see an example:
Pidilite Industries

Buying Price was 56 in 2009 and CMP is 2462 and still there is no selling signal.

44 times Multibagger or 4300% returns.

In lower time frame, it will give more whipsaw and more number of trades.

5/10
Setup looks easy, but is not that easy.

Sometimes stock stays in consolidation and it gives frequent buy and sell signal as seen in Airtel.

One way to avoid this noise is to use price action and look for the breakouts and then trade.

2โƒฃ Support or Resistance

Moving averages can act as support or resistance to stocks.

Let's look at an example where it acted as a support.

In #IEX chart, 100 Days EMA acted as a support multiple times.
Also, a live trade was shared on IEX:

7/10
Let's look at an example where it acted as a Resistance.

Suzlon:

Stock faced resistance at 100 days EMA and it kept going down after EMA level.

Stock went down from 105 to 20 in two years.

3โƒฃ Finally Moving Average can be used as a Stoplosses.

~ For a buyer, if price closes below a crucial moving average, then buy position is closed in stocks.

~ For a seller, if price closes above a crucial moving average, then short position is closed in stocks.

9/10
I hope everyone got a taste of how moving average can be used.

These are not a universal rules one must follow. One can create their rule or follow someone else rules.

Only important thing is one must follow a fix rule instead of tweaking or changing setup frequently.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
