[@mitchellgertz5363]

Besides all else, the most significant aspect of your style is that you keep reiterating key points. You can’t repeat these concepts enough. Hearing them over and over reinforces them to the point where they become automatic. So glad I signed up with Alphatrends. Learning a lot.

[@alphatrends]

great to hear Mitchell

[@James-100]

Even though I’m acquainted with various moving average strategies, I really appreciate your simple and straightforward “just the facts” coverage of the 200-day. Plus, love the numerous examples. Rock on.

[@c.white86]

Great video! Never buy new lows and never short new highs, I learned that one the hard way.

[@alphatrends]

me too!

[@eddie195777]

So should we short new lows? Thanks

[@altronauta]

me too 🤓 I am arrogant and stubborn... imho there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Knowing and doing are two totally different concepts. Walking the path allows us to grow by facing challenges and struggles along the way... still fighting my fomo...

[@mtruitt2010]

This is the BEST 200 ma explanation that I have ever seen! Thank you!

[@ramseyhayek8852]

Simple, to the point, and important information. Thank you and have a great Labor Day weekend!

[@alphatrends]

Same to you

[@rosskennedy8356]

I’m often asked who I’d suggest you should listen to. I always tell them you should start each week with Brian. It’s free and you will learn how not to lose money, before you learn how to make money.

[@michaelsanchez3640]

Never stop learning from you.

[@alphatrends]

awesome!

[@ichrismoku]

Repetition of the essentials is so important. I love TA and I love learning TA so I am very prone to getting lost down different rabbit holes and different systems. The classic 50/200D is a classic vanilla indicator for a reason, everyone uses it. Great video, Brian!

[@Chris-xf8ek]

Great straightforward explanations. I love the uncluttered chart & logical strategy. Thank you great video.

[@romeindara3625]

Best video I watched on 200 moving average thank you

[@jaiminmarfatia]

Nice reminder, Brian.. Ever since I knew the importance of 200 DMA, I have applied the filter for the stocks above it and only trade those on long side..

[@alphatrends]

good policy!

[@ericrenshaw8640]

Like everything else - practicing fundamentals makes you stronger. For example, professional golfers as good as they are, always revert back to practicing fundamentals. Traders(investors) need to do the same. And this 200 DMA is a good one. Great work.

[@magicman_metal_fab]

Excellent video and wonderful advice. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

[@alphatrends]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sunilj10]

Thanks a lot, a lovely introduction to DMA for a newbie like me. Got a lot out of this than many videos I watched till now.

[@nafilzuhair]

Amazing video Brian. Super easy to follow and I loved all the examples!

[@alphatrends]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bradh6185]

As someone who is getting ready to get into trading, this is fantastic information. One thing that I realize is that no matter what strategy I develop, a retail trader must know how the institutional traders think. Thanks for making this video. I look forward to watching more.

[@sridharv]

An excellent video presenting some simple but important concepts. I would like to see more of these kind of educational videos on the basics, especially those that help investors with somewhat longer timeframes. Thank you Brian!

[@orcanmehmet]

you are awesome that showing people how to not loose money. you have contributed me a lot with your anchor vwap method. I will buy your book and review too and Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

[@baranjan4172]

Great explanation! Simple stuff yet it helps to avoid so many pitfalls in the market.

[@jameswatson5796]

Great commentary! Very insightful, I appreciate your time and effort for making these videos!!!!

[@LC-fl3zm]

Great info about the 200 day moving average ❤ simple and right to the point

[@TDZone70]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@Noaxe_Tegrinde]

Super video Brian!🙂 I'm on the short term swing-trader side of things but this is SO important for investors too. They could save so much time and money adhering to the advice given here, if they could just swallow their pride a bit and recognise the usefulness and 'moneysavingness' of a modicum of Technical analysis. I mean this is so basic and easy for all types to understand and it would help their performance enormously without having to make a career in charting! This video hammers it home in a BRILLIANT way. Key Pup the good work👍 NoAxe

[@alphatrends]

agreed, thank you

[@aliciainireland]

This was really helpful and clear. Thank you!

[@rodofgod5262]

I am also amazed the classic golden/death cross of the 50 and 200 Sma is also very accurate to this day. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@ronaldgodbey-qg1gc]

You introduced me to the AVWAP and it's been great to use, also your instructional videos are simply great, Thanks for making me a more studied trader.

[@trevornash2213]

Thank you for the video, It is so hard to find videos that actually teach these days, 99% of stock related videos are full of posers selling their courses, or clickbait to make ad revenue. Thank you!

[@therapeutika8989]

Thanks for posting these educational videos, Brian. It helps a lot, it really does. Wish I had found you (your books and videos) sooner. 😊

[@neosniper2783]

yes that helps, currently formulating a trading + investing plan, this can be a simple basic building block of the plan, cheers

[@alphatrends]

good to hear!~

[@lancedalehaynes2302]

[@bonestorm007]

Legend trader. Thank you Brian!

[@kuritesh]

Excellent Video Brian... Very simple and easy to understand

[@alphatrends]

Glad it was helpful

[@close_this_window]

In what time frame should we see the charts for 200MA? You had it in Daily, why? Why not Weekly?

[@rezaahari2207]

Great introduction to 200ma tnx

[@close_this_window]

Great explanation. Can you identify when it does not work? Or when we should not use it? Assuming it's not a 100% fool proof method.

[@alphatrends]

nothing is 100% the idea is to put the odds in your favor and skip trades where the message isnt clear

[@jessicawehr7622]

Thank you! Do you use simple MA and any settings adjustments?

[@alphatrends]

just simple, no adjustments

[@ramizazadaliyev1210]

Hey Brian, what about gaps, they tend to mess up the averages(and other indicators), it is reasonable to go for long "fade the gap" if the 200 MA is above?

[@anandradhakrishnan1302]

I was a devotee of your anchored vwap school. Should I shift to ma strategy?

[@mehdikhosh8879]

Great video as usual, Thank you, Brian.

[@alphatrends]

Very welcome

[@abeibrahim8695]

Great Job Brian thank for the video you are always blunt and to the point, keep on doing that please…

[@alphatrends]

not sure how to do it differently, respect the audience..

[@RED5standing-by]

Brian is the best out there. Always enjoy your videos

[@alphatrends]

I appreciate that!

[@jpvanessche3185]

RIVN is a good example of this

[@alphatrends]

You can make the example with every single stock at some time in its life which is why it is a timeless principle

[@jpvanessche3185]

6 month RS really is important to differentiate between leaders and laggards - great video as always

[@lakhanpurviya1529]

[@alphatrends]

My pleasure!

[@350zLeMans]

what timeframe do you use for the 200 day moving average when making a decision? weekly monthly ? please explain

[@RockTheCage55]

awesome lesson Brian

[@alphatrends]

Glad you liked it

[@HoopsYou]

yep keep it simple, why would I ever buy a stock under its 200 dma?

[@MrAfricanpilot]

Excellent video!

[@alphatrends]

Thank you very much!

[@Sara99988]

Great Video, Thanks

[@alphatrends]

You're welcome

[@MonkeyhammerTP]

"Guilty until proven innocent." I love it! 😃

[@alphatrends]

haha

[@JamesParus]

This is my first year when i realized that story, fundamental or good or bad company is irrelevant. If it works it's trending up. Company is not good or bad. It's trending up or down. One year it's good and the next it's not. Biggest problem is account full of those stories going down. You want your account to go up. It's possible only with up trending stocks.

[@alphatrends]

trend is your friend

[@mesalady2007]

Very helpful!

[@alphatrends]

Glad you think so

[@coryp9139]

Great vid Brian. I see people buying bounces off of the 50 dma with a rising 200dma. Even though price is under the avwap from the last high. They just buy the bounce using the 50 dma as support. Thoughts on this??

[@alphatrends]

better than buying with a declining 200DMA but can be ok at times

[@william9in]

Thx

[@alphatrends]

welcome

[@DaveMcCammon]

Great video

[@alphatrends]

Thanks

[@tjrozdilsky189]

Thanks for video. Do you use the 200d EMA or SMA?

[@alphatrends]

SMA

[@i.g.7020]

👍

[@jsh111]

Why forget about the garbage stocks, and instead but puts at opportune price locations?

[@alphatrends]

right, my point is for the masses who cant understand trend

[@antoniorosado]

00:05 Understanding the importance of the 200-day moving average in determining stock trends. 01:53 Market behavior below 200-day moving average 03:42 In a downtrend, rallies above 200-day moving average are guilty until proven innocent. 05:30 Buy strength after dip, not during, watch declining 200-day moving average for trends 07:26 Downtrend likely to continue with declining 200-day moving average. 09:17 Buy stocks when they break beyond resistance and make a higher high above a flat to rising 200-day moving average. 11:15 Buying stocks above the 200-day moving average signals an uptrend. 13:05 200-day moving average acts as a trend indicator

[@guyredares]

nice but you will get a bullish signal every 7 years or so..😢

[@alphatrends]

I dont think you understood the video properly

[@guyredares]

@@alphatrends k

[@lol_manu]

all are garbage stocks 😂 do nothing but go down

[@dongaza6878]

Thank you for the video Brian. What is the best timeframe to use the 200 DMA?

[@guyredares]

daa

[@alphatrends]

it is a 200 DAY ma

14:10 VSCO was a great short - gave bears a bear market rally to get enter short on and ride it down.

[@michellebaker10work]

This was exceptionally helpful! I watched it multiple times. And took notes! Thank you. 😊😊

[@gotmilk1028]

After reading your book I have 2 questions: what is the best time frame for 5MA or is it the 5 EMA and do you buy at the end of the day if the stock is above that or anytime it get above that, and lastly, do you sell if the stock drops below that even on the same day? Thank you.

[@rofsjan]

Thank you for explanation. rule of thumb: Make a higher low above the flat or rising 200 MA. Buy strength after a dip.

[@alphatrends]

Boom!
