En Guppy Multiple Moving Average<\/strong> (GMMA<\/strong>) indicator provides an interesting approach using moving average ribbons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a trend trader, it\u2019s not enough to just<\/em> identify the direction of a trend and catch the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trend trading success depends not only properly identifying the trend direction<\/strong> y catching the trend<\/strong> after it has started, but also on getting out<\/strong> as soon as possible after the trend has reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself struggling with any of the above, you might want to take a look at the Guppy Multiple Moving Average<\/strong> indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En Guppy Multiple Moving Average<\/strong> (GMMA<\/strong>), also known simply known as\u201dGuppy<\/strong>\u201c,  is a technical indicator that identifies changes in trends, <\/strong>which means it provides you with an objective method to know when to get in<\/strong> y when to get out<\/strong> of a trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a chart, it looks like this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guppy<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Guppy was created by an Australian trader named Daryl Guppy<\/strong>. Hence, the name of the indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Don\u2019t confuse \u201cGuppy\u201d, the indicator, with \u201cGuppy\u201d, the nickname for the GBP\/JPY.\u00a0\u00a0They are two different things<\/strong>. This means that you can trade the Guppy (currency pair) using the Guppy (indicator).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Daryl introduced GMMA<\/strong> in his book, Trend Trading<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guppy is a trend-following technique composed of 12 EMAs <\/strong>(or exponential moving averages).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multiple lines of the Guppy help traders see the strength or weakness in a trend<\/strong> better than if only using one (or two) EMAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 12 EMAs are separated into two groups<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A \u201ca corto plazo<\/strong>\u201d group of EMAs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A \u201clong-term<\/strong>\u201d group of EMAs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Each group contains six MAs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Two<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    In the chart above, the two groups of EMA are differentiated by color<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The \u201cshort-term\u201d group is blue<\/strong>, while the \u201clong-term\u201d group is red<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    En trend<\/strong> is determined by the long-term EMAs, signals<\/strong> are given by the short-term EMAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You would enter a trade when a trend reversal occurs, which is indicated when one group crosses over <\/strong>the other group.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When the short-term group crosses ABOVE<\/strong> the longer-term group, BUY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When the short-term group crosses BELOW<\/strong> the longer-term group, SELL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Set Up the Guppy Multiple Moving Average<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This technique consists of combining TWO groups of exponential moving averages<\/strong> (EMAs<\/strong>) with differing time periods (or lengths).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The twelve periods used are 3<\/strong>, 5<\/strong>, 8<\/strong>, 10<\/strong>, 12<\/strong>, 15<\/strong>, 30<\/strong>, 35<\/strong>, 40<\/strong>, 45<\/strong>, 50<\/strong>, y 60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 EMAs are used to show the short-term trend\u2019s momentum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Short-Term<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 60 EMAs show the longer-term trend\u2019s momentum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Long-Term<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Now, let\u2019s show both groups of EMAs on the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Two<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Trend reversals <\/strong>y continuations<\/strong> can be identified with these two groups of EMAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Use the Guppy Multiple Moving Average<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Guppy Multiple Moving Average can be used to identify changes in trend direction<\/strong> o gauge the strength of the current trend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Identify Trend Strength<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    En degree of separation between the short- and long-term moving averages<\/strong> can be used as an indicator of trend strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Separation<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If there\u2019s a WIDE separation, this indicates that the prevailing trend is strong<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If there\u2019s a NARROW separation or lines that intertwine, this indicates a weakening trend<\/strong> o un period of consolidation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Identify Trend Reversals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    En crossover of the short- and long-term moving averages<\/strong> represents trend reversals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Identify<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If the short-term EMAs cross ABOVE the long-term moving averages, this is known as a bullish crossover<\/strong> and indicates that a bullish reversal<\/strong> has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the short-term EMAs cross BELOW the longer-term ones, this is known as a bearish crossover<\/strong> and indicates that a bearish reversal<\/strong> is occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Identify a Lack of Trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When the moving averages between the two groups are close together and approximately parallel, it indicates that the short-term market sentiment and long-term trend are largely in agreement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Basically, when both groups of EMAs are moving horizontally<\/strong>, or mostly moving sideways and heavily intertwined<\/strong>, it means the price lacks a trend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Lack<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Looking at the chart above, notice how when the red and blue group of EMAs are intertwined, price is directionless, simply moving up and down within a range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This current price action is more suitable for range trading<\/strong>. As a trend trader, it would make sense to sit out and wait for better conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just remember this phrase, \u201cWhen the market is sideways, trend traders sit on the sidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Trade Currencies with the Guppy Multiple Moving Average<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The GMMA indicator can be used for trade signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Buy Signals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When all short-term EMA cross above all the long-term EMAs, a new bullish trend is confirmed and triggers a buy signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During a strong uptrend, when the short-term MAs move back toward the longer-term MAs, but do NOT cross,  and then start to move back higher, this signals another continuation of the bullish trend and triggers a buy signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Guppy<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Also, after a crossover, if prices fall back and then bounces off from the longer-term EMAs<\/strong>, this signals a continuation of the bullish trend and triggers a buy signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sell Signals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When all short-term EMAs cross below all the long-term EMA,  this indicates a new bearish trend and triggers a sell signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Guppy<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    During a strong downtrend, when the short-term MAs move back toward the longer-term MAs, but do NOT cross,  and then start to move lower, this signals a continuation of the bearish trend and triggers a sell signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, after a bearish crossover, if the price rises but then bounces off from the long-term EMAs<\/strong>, this signals a continuation of the bearish trend and triggers a sell signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No Signal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The buy and sell signals above should be avoided when the price and the EMAs are moving sideways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Guppy<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Following a consolidation period, wait for a crossover and separation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If there is no trend, this indicator will not work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    GMMA Compression Breakout Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The moving averages also act as support and resistance levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    En compression of both groups<\/strong> of moving averages occurs on the same candlestick, this could indicate an overall trend change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
