  • Moving Average Crossover

    File Name: strMAcrsv.efs

    Description:
    Moving Average Crossover

    Formula Parameters:
    Length Fast SMA : 20
    Length Slow SMA : 40


    Notes:
    The Moving Average Crossover trading strategy is possibly the most popular
    trading strategy in the world of trading. First of them were written in the
    middle of XX century, when commodities trading strategies became popular.
    This strategy is a good example of so-called traditional strategies. Traditional
    strategies are always long or short. That means they are never out of the market.
    The concept of having a strategy that is always long or short may be scary,
    particularly in today?s market where you don?t know what is going to happen as
    far as risk on any one market. But a lot of traders believe that the concept is
    still valid, especially for those of traders who do their own research or their
    own discretionary trading.
