donald44 Guest Jan 14, 2026 10:37 AM	Hi, I want to know how people use WMA to find buy or sell points. I get the concept of weighting recent data more, but how does that translate into real signals? Are there any practical tips or tricks for spotting trends with WMA?
ron frod Guest Jan 14, 2026 10:39 AM	Traders often look at the price crossing the WMA line. If the price rises above the WMA, it can be a buy signal, and if it drops below, it might indicate selling. You can also combine multiple WMAs with different periods to catch crossovers, which give stronger signals. Adjusting the weights can make your indicator more sensitive or smoother depending on your strategy. There’s a detailed guide here that walks you through examples and setups: https://forextester.com/blog/weighted-moving-average/. Once you start practicing with real charts, the signals start making sense.
