Moving Average Crossover Strategy Shows 6.9% Annual Return in Backtest
The moving average crossover approach generates mechanical buy or sell signals when a fast and a slow average intersect. Common pairings include 9/21 EMA for short‑term trades, 20/50 SMA for swing trades, and the classic 50/200 SMA Golden Cross for long‑term trends. Backtests of the Golden Cross from 1960 to present delivered a 6.9% annual return.
Vistra Corp (VST) rose 0.9% to $160.41, edging toward its year‑to‑date breakeven level after a prolonged slump. The stock's buy‑to‑open put/call ratio surged into the 90th percentile, crossing 1.0—a signal that has occurred only eight times in the past three years. Historical data shows a 5.4% average return 21 days after such a signal, with a 75% success rate. Meanwhile, the Schaeffer’s Volatility Index sits at 59%, and the Volatility Scorecard rates VST at 5/100, indicating low realized volatility and attractive conditions for premium sellers.

Had a nice set up on $ZEC here but closed for small profits last week. Worth review though this had all the makings of a good opportunity. 1. Range breakdown with quick reclaim - this becomes a deviation. 2. Morning star reversal pattern. 3....

The A/D line is my least favorite breadth metric… but it’s still one I look at. The main issue I have with it is that it doesn’t capture the severity of moves. It simply counts up vs down. So if 100 stocks are...

$NVDA steady in the correction -- hugging 180 zone for 7 months. If market gets legs we like this one, and if market pulls back, then 168 support potential reversal long https://t.co/LpCUhBi2ax
$VIX had to come down with a 1% gain in $SPX. 3.7 points is a big drop for a 1% change, but we've been over-vixxing for a while now, as shown in the second chart. https://t.co/OV1trbLQxV

Silver crashed 5% while gold barely moved. When the gold-silver ratio blows out, it's a recession signal — not a metals trade. Watch $SLV relative to $GLD. It's screaming. https://t.co/C4PLSRcWmS
