I was being faecitious (sp?) about the C&H chart pattern, hence the aneurism remark. I useSMA or simple moving averages.....In point of fact I've never used EMAs as they're more heavily weighted toward recency....which is why you see a GC sooner with them as opposed to SMAs.
I think its obvious that an EMA cross will serve more as a leading indicator (for those who don't think TA is total garbage) with SMAs being a trailing indicator.....a common suggestion I've heard is to play around with them and to see if there are certain support levels for example...while the 20 day might not be on the money maybe the 26 is....each stock is somewhat unique in that respect, or so goes the thinking.
Now here's hoping that the SMA 50-200 GC follows the EMA one (I think its close to being assured at this point) and that we follow the same pattern as in March 2015....onward and upward with some expected pullbacks along the way.
