$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I used to think Moving Averages were buy/sell signals. After a lot of losing trades, I realised they’re not.

Now I use MA for direction and discipline, not prediction.

If price is above the 20MA and 50MA, and both are sloping up, I only look for long setups. I don’t fight the trend. If price is below them and MA is sloping down, I stay cautious or avoid longs completely.

The biggest mistake I see is trading when MA is flat and tangled together. That’s usually a choppy market — and most of my losses came from there.

Another thing I find useful is treating MA like dynamic support and resistance. In a strong trend, price often pulls back to the 20MA, pauses, then continues. When price starts closing below MA and can’t reclaim it, that’s usually my sign to reduce risk or stay out.

Nothing fancy — just a simple filter to keep me on the right side of the market and avoid emotional trades.

Hope this helps, and happy trading everyone 👊
