I would add to this that some LLUR patterns conform to some other xxd ma. It's best when you find one to play around with different moving averages till you find one that best fits. The 50 dma is not required, just the most common since many sites display it automatically.

LLUR (Lower Left Upper Right) is kind of an "insider term" here, although WON does talk about the pattern. Basically it's a straight line, with little volatility, at a consistent upward angle. The trick to investing in a LLUR is to keep a close eye on how closely the stock keeps to the 50d ma. If it deviates markedly away from that ma, it may be time to get out. See DLX for a typical chart. Warren David Gerber wrote: > Hi, > > > > My name is Dave Gerber.
