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.
Samsara Inc (NYSE:IOT) is down about 10% in 2026 after a 19.5% post‑earnings rally in March. The 10‑day buy‑to‑open put/call ratio spiked to 7.62, crossing the 1.0 threshold and landing in the 90th percentile, a signal seen only six times in the past three years. Historical data shows an average 8.5% price gain 21 days after similar signals, with a 67% success rate. Short interest remains sizable at 8.3% of float, while the Schaeffer’s Volatility Scorecard rates the stock’s volatility at 80 out of 100, suggesting options may be under‑priced.
