Moving Averages

4-Week Moving Average

Also called: 4-week, 4 week, 4-week MA, 4-week moving average

The average closing price over the last 4 weeks. This is the shortest-term moving average I use and it's relevant for stocks in strong momentum where they hold the 4-week during the early acceleration phase of a new trend. I used it as the stop level on ENPH after its character change gap.

On the Chart

Three Days of Growth Participation**ENPH Weekly — Re-Entry Tuesday** — After being stopped out the prior week, ENPH pulled back quietly to its 4-week MA. Using the 4-week as the wrong-signal level gave a stop just over 2% below entry, tighter than the original gap entry.

In Context

Tuesday reshuffled: out of LYB at even, ENPH re-established at 4-week support, unnecessary TSLA round trip.

Three Days of Growth Participation·Digest

Sold LYB at even and picked up ENPH at its 4-week, so three trades by noon on the same day I posted the Lipschutz quote about sitting on your hands.

Three Days of Growth Participation·Digest

Re-entered at $43.83 with stops just under the 4-week, about 2% risk, which is actually tighter than the original gap entry.
