Moving Averages as WorkHorses

March 17th, 2009 by jackieannpatterson | No Comments | Filed in Moving Average, Quotes, Technical Strategies

Today I want to quote international economist & trader Barbara Rockefeller:

Moving Averages are the workhorses of technical analysis. Just about everybody starts out in technical analysis with moving averages, and some traders never see a need to look into any other technique — that’s how successful moving averages can make your trading.

Of course, the proof is in the pudding. That’s why I’m backtesting moving averages and other popular technical analysis tools.
