Excellent Article! I like to use a 50EMA on any time frame as a “dynamic” trend line. I find that works very well in conjunction with my harmonic fibonacci support and resistance levels for excellent confluence to locate low-risk buying opportunities in an uptrend and short selling opportunities in a downtrend.
