Fast Crossovers



2 days ago  In fact, a Fast & Furious/Transformers crossover movie can help fix the problem with the old Transformers movies. Other than the mindless action (typical Micheal Bay. You can have crossovers between fast moving averages, between slow moving averages or a mix between the two types. Here we will discuss fast moving average crossovers. For this strategy we will use a 15-minute time frame and three exponential moving averages – a 10-, a 25- and a 50-period one. The entry and exit rules are simple.

You will learn about the following concepts

  • Fast moving average crossovers
  • Using them to your advantage

We have spoken much about moving averages throughout our trading guides, particularly in the articles “Introduction to Moving Averages“, “Simple Moving Average” and “Exponentially Smoothed Moving Average“, so now we will turn our attention toward moving average crossover strategies. You can have crossovers between fast moving averages, between slow moving averages or a mix between the two types. Here we will discuss fast moving average crossovers.

For this strategy we will use a 15-minute time frame and three exponential moving averages – a 10-, a 25- and a 50-period one. The entry and exit rules are simple. Once the 10-period EMA penetrates the 25-period EMA, continues and crosses through the 50-period one, enter in the 10-period EMAs direction. However, before executing the trade you need to wait for confirmation, which comes after a bar closes on the other side of the 50-day EMA.

You hold on to your position until one of the following two scenarios occur: the 10-period EMA crosses back either the 25-period EMA, or its retracement extends further to the 50-period EMA. The latter exit strategy carries the chance of better results because the price might reverse and head back in the desired direction before crossing the 50-day EMA. However, if it doesnt, your profit would be smaller in comparison to a 25-period EMA exit. In both cases, an exit out of the position should be done after a confirmation, i.e. after a bar closes beyond the 25 or 50-period EMA.

Trend required

Moving average crossovers are a reliable trading strategy, but only in trending markets. They have none-to-zero value in conditions of sideways trading. Due to the EMAs small periods, their crossovers achieve good results during strong breakouts and overall strong moves. Their main disadvantage is that they produce many false signals during trading ranges and, second, because moving averages are a lagging indicator, they have little predictive value. Thus, the trader needs to constantly keep an eye on his opened position and act as market conditions shift. Check out the following example.

As you can see on the 15-minute chart example above, the 10-period EMA (yellow) crossed the other two (blue – 25-period, and red – 50-period) on several occasions. First, at (1), the EUR/USD cross marked a major decline on the base of an economic data release, causing a fast moving average crossover. Traders who would wait for a confirmation (a bar closing below the 50-period EMA) would enter at the close of the big bear trend bar, while some may have dropped to a lower time frame (10 or 5 minutes) and search for a close there. They would then have exited either at (2) where the 10-period EMA crossed the 25-period essentially at breakeven, or at bar (3) which would have been a loss. This stands to show how fairly ineffective this trading system is during conditions of sideways trading (the market was in a trading range prior the breakout at (1) and almost immediately after the climactic bear trend bar it entered a barbed wire trading range).

Our example, however, provided us with an EMA crossover in trending conditions as well. At (3), the 10-period EMA crossed above both slower EMAs shortly after a big bull trend bar broke out of the tight trading range. The following bull trend would become evident after the formation of three very strong bull trend bars. Here is how the trend unfolded afterwards.

As you can see, our entry was around the 1.3550-1.3552 area. The 10-period EMA did not cross below the 25-period EMA up until (1), where some traders would have closed their positions. Alternatively, some who hoped the upward move will be extended would have waited for a 50 EMA crossover, which happened at (2) and the first bar below it closed at 1.3605. Even with the riskier exit approach, you would have earned little over 50 pips.

With every Fast & Furious movie that’s released, I wonder if this franchise has reached its limits. Surely there’s nothing wilder than driving a car between buildings? Or flying through the air to save your bae after she gets tossed from a tank? And every time, I get proven wrong. Fast & Furious has no limits, and according to director Justin Lin, the same thing could be said about a crossover with Jurassic World.

Yes, you read that right. Dinosaurs and cars, the ultimate combo.

The question came up during a virtual F9 press conference where Lin responded to a question about a possible franchise crossover by saying, “Well, I’ve never said never to anything.” He followed that with, “And the fact that part of our philosophy is not to ever be boxed in or labeled. And that’s all I will say.”

That isn’t a no, Fast & Furious and Jurassic World fans! That’s a confirmation that this franchise will push boundaries as long as Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez (who was up for the crossover too), and the rest of the Fast & Furious team want to. And personally, I’m here for it and for however many movies this franchise can give me.

The Fast & Furious team is learning how to make cars fly in F9 and possibly going to space. The sky isn’t the limit anymore, and racing cars against dinosaurs could totally be a possibility, especially with both franchises calling Universal Studios home. Also, you know that they would find ways to use the cars as flying battering rams to take down the big dinos. Cuz fast cars.

That’s why we’re here and why we’ve put together a list of 5 ways a Fast & Furious and Jurassic World crossover can happen!

Note: Most scenarios are based after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom—a very important distinction for this very serious list.

1. Dom has another secret brother

I know, it’s not original. But if Dom has one brother doing nefarious things in F9, who’s to say he doesn’t have another one that has been living in the shadow of both of his brothers? And now that mysterious brother #2 has a chance to show up his brothers via dinosaurs. Include a shady government organization trying to make more dinosaurs with the secret brother’s support, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster or greatness. It can only be one.

2. The team has been hired to make faster cars cuz dinosaurs

With dinosaurs roaming wild and free, Dom and the team have been hired by a wealthy corporation to make fast cars. Instead of letting such a job fall into hands they don’t trust, they agree to work with this corporation. This leads to daredevil speed tests where a dinosaur comes up against a car in a ridiculous scene that will make Dom rescuing Letty after the tank scene in Fast & Furious 6 look like child’s play.

3. They return from space to find dinosaurs terrorizing the country

From what I could tell from the F9 trailer, there’s going to be some sort of space travel. It might not be in the vast nothingness of space, but it’ll be close enough. Well, what if after that, when the dust has settled, they come to the startling realization that their country has been overrun by dinosaurs! With their family in danger cuz dinosaur reasons, Dom and the gang team up once more to reunite their family and end up killing dinosaurs by flinging cars at them.

4. The team is attacked at home by dinosaurs

Dom, Letty, and their kids are living in the middle of nowhere for safety reasons, celebrating the reunion of their family. Little do they know that the McMansion that freed those dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is close by. You know who’s also close by? The bad guys, a.k.a. Cipher! But with dinosaurs surrounding them, they’ll have to team up with the Fast & Furious team to survive. Expect random household items taking dinos down cuz science.

5. An AU of Jurassic World and Fast & Furious

What if the Fast & Furious team went to Jurassic World before the escape of Indominus rex? And by before, I mean they arrive on the island the same day things go haywire. And it’s up to them to team up with Owen and Claire to protect the people on the island and find their family members because, of course, they somehow find themselves split up. Did I forget to mention that they somehow supe up those hamster balls and use it to escape dinosaurs? Yup.

These are just a few of the possibilities, which are truly limitless if the Fast & Furious movie series has taught us anything.
