Re: Different moving averages.

Michel,

I use expo-smoothed fibonacci moving averages.  I build a template of 13,
21, 34, 55, 89, and 144 day averages and apply it to all my charts,
everyday.  These averages serve as major support and resistance areas. 
After observing them, daily, for the past four months, I'm beginning to
understand them better.  What's to understand about moving averages?  There
are some really great nuances that make the avgs. very interesting and
extremely helpful.  Attached is a wheat chart that has the template.
