Moving Averages – FX Replay Guide

Moving Averages are a foundational tool in technical analysis and are fully supported in FX Replay. They help smooth out price fluctuations, identify trend direction, and can be used for both short-term setups and long-term strategy planning.

How to Use Moving Averages in FX Replay:

1. Types of Moving Averages:

• SMA: Useful for a broader trend overview.
• EMA: Ideal when you want quicker reaction to recent price action.

2. Choose Your Periods:

• Use shorter periods (9, 20) for scalping or intraday setups.
• Use longer periods (50, 200) for swing or position trading backtests.

3. Spot Trend Direction:

• A rising MA indicates a bullish trend – look for long setups.
• A falling MA suggests a bearish trend – consider short setups.

4. Crossover Strategy:

• Golden Cross (short > long) = bullish signal.
• Death Cross (short < long) = bearish signal.
• Use FX Replay’s visual indicators and overlays to confirm these events.

5. Use MAs as Dynamic Zones:

• Watch how price reacts to MAs during replays.
• If it respects them as support/resistance, it can provide strong confluence.

6. Combine with FX Replay Tools:

• Use alongside your position tool for precise entries.
• Layer moving averages with FVGs, order blocks, or PO3 structures to validate entries.
