The skills of using the futures moving average are as follows: 1. Choose the right cycle: the futures market has different trading cycles, such as daily line, weekly line and monthly line. According to your trading frequency and strategy, choose the appropriate period to calculate the moving average. Short-term traders can choose shorter periods, such as daily or hourly lines; Long-term investors can choose a longer cycle, such as weekly or monthly. 2. Determine the appropriate EMA period: the EMA period will have an impact on trading. Generally speaking, short-period moving averages are more sensitive to market fluctuations, but they are also more susceptible to short-term fluctuations; The moving average with a longer period can filter out short-term fluctuations and react more smoothly. You can choose the appropriate EMA cycle according to the market characteristics and your own trading goals. 3. Combination of multiple moving averages: moving averages in different periods can be combined into a multiple moving average system. For example, using the 5-day moving average and 10 moving average at the same time, the short-term moving average responds quickly and can capture short-term trading opportunities; Long-term moving average is slow to respond, which can filter out short-term noise and judge the change of trend. 4. Pay attention to the crossing and deviation of moving averages: The crossing and deviation of moving averages are common signals in technical analysis. The signal that the moving average golden fork (short-term moving average wears long-term moving average) and the dead fork (short-term moving average wears long-term moving average) can buy or sell; When the price deviates from the moving average, it may also send a reversal signal. 5. Confirm the trading signal in combination with other technical indicators: Using the EMA alone may not be enough to judge the market trend, and you can confirm the trading signal in combination with other technical indicators. Common technical indicators include relative strength index (RSI), stochastic index (KD) and moving average convergence/divergence index (MACD). In a word, the use skills of futures EMA need to consider market characteristics, trading cycle and strategic requirements, and combine other technical indicators and trading signals for analysis and judgment.
