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.

$SPY trading near the bottom of its multi-month consolidation range. A move below 670.00 could drive the entire market lower.

Similar to what we saw pre-market yesterday. Spot VIX (from SPX option chain) way north of the directly tradeable VX futures. Backwardation of the futures is not a good look, but I expect spot VIX to drop once the bell...

On Monday the S&P 500 closed essentially flat after permabulls rushed in on the opening dip, echoing Michael Burry’s “greatest buy‑the‑dip generation” claim. The optimism was short‑lived as escalating tensions in Iran prompted a market rethink. The author warns that...
🔴 "Black Tuesday" in Korea. (maybe a little hyperbolic) Samsung -9.9%. SK Hynix -11.5%. Worst single-day drops since Aug 2024. KOSPI -7.2% — largest single-day drop in 19 months. Program trading halted intraday. Foreign investors dumped 3 trillion won in the morning session...
Embedded issue with markets now is whether volatility remains sticky to upside and destroys the crowded and complacent short vol trade which has been going on for years

You can punch the "look for relative strength" people right in the face on days like today.

Implied vol is well ahead of historical vol. Is the latter about to catch up? https://t.co/n7Ii78S3oL

Midas Touch Consulting issued its Gold Daily Call for March 3, 2026, projecting that spot gold will initially trade sideways before turning lower. The technical chart highlights a near‑term support zone around $2,050 per ounce and resistance near $2,150. The note cites...

It is what it is, weakness in February and the early parts of March are quite common the past two decades. We've been saying expect a banana peel and we are on it. https://t.co/fTK460vLTF

$QQQ gap below the level. We were "supposed to" see follow through higher today or a hold. A gap down is negative. Still below the 21ema. See how we close https://t.co/2PaRAvRI6S

Quasi SKlarew box suggests minimum downside of 5000 for GC. note perfect 120 "u turn" at the top. https://t.co/wHdOR1RvDF
This is certainly more like the whack to markets I had expected yesterday. At least I might get a good opportunity to open a GIT #FTSE100 Long at some point. :-)
There is an old adage that comes true in every major market cycle The person who is long at 100 and says they will double up at 50 ends up selling everything at 60 Happens every time -- never fails to happen

seeing the S&P 500 $SPX % stocks at 52-week highs increase again... remember sector rotation is a healthy thing and if you're going to be negative on stocks, you'd better show me the equal-weighted index is bearish (hint: it's not)......

when my $SPX #DCATR model turns upward, don't worry, i'll mention it... no point on speculating on coming bear markets until the market behaviour supports it... https://t.co/myYDLhzuYP

An interesting study for someone good with that kind of thing... Chart $CBOE relative strength breakouts vs. the market as an inflection point to market trends Seems CBOE showing rel. strength tends to always precede market weakness as options volumes surge

Everyone assuming the Oil move is inflationary. An Oil spike historically more often than not precedes equity tail events and economic recessions. Why? Speed of Oil move is deflationary shock.

"Chance favors the prepared mind." Samsung -10%. SK Hynix -11.5%. Korea's worst day in 19 months. We flagged the memory names yesterday — $MU, $SNDK, $WDC — as shorts. Not a prediction. Just process. Breadth was NO across the board. Regime DEFENSIVE. https://t.co/NLFcX1gCIU
