50 Day Moving Average Strategy
TRADE ENTRY
1. To enter a 50-day moving average trade, you should wait for a breakout.
2. Whenever the price breaks the 50-day SMA, you should open a trade in the direction of the breakout.
3. In most cases, the price action will continue in the direction of the breakout.
STOP LOSS
1. If the price breaks the 50 SMA upwards, we need to go long, placing a stop below a bottom prior to the breakout. The opposite is true for bearish trades.
2. If the price breaks the 50 SMA downwards, we need to short the stock placing a stop below the bottom prior to the breakout.
PROFIT TARGETS
1. Hold your trades until the price action breaks your 50-day moving average in the direction opposite to your trade.
2. If you are long, you close the trade when the price breaks the 50-day SMA downwards.
3. If you are short, you close the trade when the price breaks the 50-day SMA upwards.
CONCLUSION
1. Stock price above the 50-day moving average is usually considered bullish.
