HOW TO FIND A STRONG DAY TRADING BIAS

HOW TO FIND A STRONG DAILY BIAS

You need direction when you trade.

You need to know when things are looking good to go.

Or not to go.

Whether you’re trading GOLD or the Dow Jones or the JSE market, we need to know when the market is looking conducive or not.

I have a strategy you can use today that I have used for over two decades.

It’s called finding the Daily Bias.

And it’s using any market with two Simple Moving Averages the 20MA and the 200MA.

Because remember what I always say:

“If you don’t know your direction, you’re tradingblindly”

Let’s fix that.

🚀 PRICE > 20 and 200MA – WE GO LONG (BUY)

Here’s the first rule of thumb.

If the price is trading above both the 20MA and the 200MA, the market is trending up.

What does that mean for you?

Only look for LONGS (Buys).

That’s it. No funny business. No shorts. No guessing.

Let’s break it down:

  • The 20MA is your short-term hype.

  • The 200MA is your long-term loyalty.

If price is above both, momentum and strength are in sync for further UPSIDE.

📉 🚀 PRICE < 20 and 200MA – WE GO SHORT (SELL)

 

Now, if price is below both the 20MA and 200MA, it’s not just dipping… it’s likely diving.

And your job?

🔴 Only look for SHORTS (Sells).

Don’t fight the current.

Don’t play hero trying to “catch the bottom.”

This isn’t a charity — it’s a strategy.

It’s time to bring out the bear claws. 🐻

🌫️ PRICE INBETWEEN 20MA and 200MA – WELCOME TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE

Ah, the murky middle.

If price is between the 20MA and the 200MA, you’re in a zone I lovingly call:
The Twilight Zone.

And what should you do here?

🙅‍♂️ Stay Neutral — No Trades.

Why?

Because this is where traps are set.

It’s the financial equivalent of quicksand.

One minute price looks bullish, the next it flips. It’s indecisive, and in trading, indecision = danger.

🎯 CONCLUSION: BIAS BEFORE TRADES

Finding your daily bias is like turning on your headlights before driving at night.

You wouldn’t drive blind — so don’t trade blind.

Using just the 20MA and 200MA gives you:

  • Clarity in chaos.

  • Direction in confusion.

  • Confidence in execution.

So before you click that buy or sell button tomorrow, ask yourself:

Where is price relative to the MAs?

Because the answer might just be your edge.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Price Above 20MA & 200MA = Only look for LONGS (Buys).

  • 🔻 Price Below 20MA & 200MA = Only look for SHORTS (Sells).

  • 🌫️ In Between 20MA & 200MA = Stay out — You’re in the Twilight Zone.
