A new study that has moved it's way into my charts.
The 3 EMA and The 8 EMA crossovers....I have been using the stochastic crossovers to help me with timing....in the white oval....now if I add that to the EMA crossover....in the blue oval....it looks like a better signal.
The EMA crossovers were brought up by Kaneco last night on Trader Spotlight on Day Trading Radio
Dow up 126
It's Friday and I didn't even get to try my new crossover trading thing....
