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.
Wall Street experienced a sharp AI‑related sell‑off after Altruist unveiled its Hazel tax‑planning tool and a speculative Citrini Research report warned of a 2028 intelligence crisis. The panic erased roughly $300 billion in equity value, hitting major financial names such as Charles Schwab, S&P Global and Raymond James. Despite the steep declines, each firm’s core revenue streams, balance sheets and technical indicators remain solid, suggesting the market reaction was disproportionate. Investors now see a potential buying window in these quality stocks.
Pretty crucial area for me to hold on to. I'd highly favor that $BTC finds a higher low at $65k. However, last day of the month; remember last month? A massive collapse on the markets. Let's see what it brings: holding $65K opens...

Even until yesterday, you could hear the media talking about FII flows being positive for FEB and supporting the market. I give zero credit to daily flows to decide which way the market will head. But just an update after...
Wall Street stocks slipped as investors grew uneasy about artificial‑intelligence‑driven disruption and mounting private‑credit risks that fund many tech firms. The S&P 500 edged toward its worst monthly performance since March, while bonds and gold rallied and oil prices neared $67...

PLTW and PLTY, ETFs that track Palantir, have diverged during the first sustained drawdown. The drawdown revealed PLTY’s thin option‑based protection, delivering little downside mitigation, while PLTW’s 120% weekly‑reset leverage amplified losses but kept a cleaner structure. After a roughly...

Nvidia posted a "phenomenal" earnings beat, yet its shares failed to spark a broader chip rally. On Thursday, investors pivoted sharply toward software names, lifting stocks such as Salesforce and Workday. The shift represents one of the most pronounced sector...

The S&P 500 is now on pace for its WORST month since April 2025 😳 Volatility continues to be the main storyline of 2026 🎢
A lot of people ask why I only trade from 9:30 to 11. But what most don't realize is that time doesn't equal money in trading. One A+ setup beats five B- setups every single time. Today, I traded my plan on $CURX,...
