7. I've been trading for a couple years but i still for some reason still like watching these kinds of videos. and this is the BEST one to clarify exactly what people should know.
8. Hymm, sounds best also as I've been researching on how to trade.
9. Use both an SMA and shorter term EMA. When the EMA crosses above the SMA (on any time frame) then BUY. Make sure there is a lot of volume at the start of this crossover. When the EMA crosses below the SMA, sell. For example, on the daily chart, use a 50SMA and a 15 EMA. Go forth and $$$$$$$$$
10. could you please make a jargon buster video that explains exactly what some of these words mean. I am trying, but on your owm with no experience, it's hard!
11. Keep it simple. Moving averages lag. Horizontal support and resistance levels are far easier to trade from.

14. Haha, I've just realised I've been using Moving Averages wrong, but still managing to be profitable. Well I suppose I better not change what isn't broken
15. Regarding time periods:
    
    1. 10-20 for short term trends, that is 15M, 30M, HOURLY AND DAILY charts?
    
    2. 50 for mid term trends, that is for WEEKLY AND MONTHLY charts?
    
    3. 200 for long term trends, that is for YEARLY charts?
