Larry Williams: The Simplest Way to Identify Market Trends

00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,640
how do you know if the trend of your

00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:06,879
stock or commodity is up or down or

00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,320
sideways there is a mathematical way of

00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:10,480
telling it I'd like to share that with

00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,320
you today There's so many ways of

00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,880
looking at trend but the simple one I

00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,119
developed years ago you can put on all

00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,400
of the software you have is simply a

00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:23,439
50-day moving average If price is above

00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,439
a 50-day moving average or that 50-day

00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:28,000
moving average is an uptrend assume that

00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:30,160
the trend is up If it's in a downtrend

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,840
then assume the trend is down In a

00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,160
downtrend that means you would want to

00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,160
be taking short-term sell signals In an

00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,079
uptrend you can take all the buy signals

00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:40,160
because then you will be trading and

00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:42,480
you'll be investing with the trend The

00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:44,320
trend is your friend Stay with it Use a

00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:47,440
50-day moving average and you'll know

00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,440
the real trend of the
