• The Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) is a technical indicator that identifies changing trends, breakouts and trading opportunities in the price of an asset by combining two groups of moving averages (MA) with different time frames.

  • GMMA consists of a group of short-term moving averages and a group of long-term moving averages, each of which contains six moving averages, 12 in total, and is superimposed on the price chart of the asset.
  • Short-term moving averages are usually set for 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 periods. Long-term moving averages are usually set at 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 60.
  • When the short-term group of moving averages moves above the long-term group, it indicates that an uptrend in the price of an asset may be emerging.
  • Conversely, when the short-term group falls below the long-term group of moving averages, a downtrend in the asset price can begin.
