In looking back at the performance of the regular trading session (November 1, 2002December 31, 2006), the single positive result came from the 34-day moving average,\nwhich had an insignificant gain of 68.5 cents (Figure 1).\nSo why should we keep subscribing to trading moving averages? Because by making two simple adjustments, our average profit improves to $124 for\neach 1,000-share long position along with an impressive 71% winning percentage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMONITORING PERFORMANCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an advance of $18.60 we would certainly expect moving averages to produce stunning results. This gain, however, is somewhat deceptive, because the 1,049 trading days gave us a regular session loss of $1.64. Therefore, when restricting our trading to the 09:3016:00 ET time frame, we would anticipate a small setback.","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52134173049201,"sku":"\\V25\\05\\090TRON.pdf","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_7ec4e5b0-bbef-406e-995d-36cb9c99a4ad.jpg?v=1739670127","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/stcov252moav1","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
