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.

The activity is split, with 31% bullish and 40% bearish sentiment, while calls represent roughly $4 million and puts about $2.6 million in notional value. Traders are pricing the stock in a wide $330‑$1,260 range, far beyond the current $856 price, and the company faces an earnings report in 55 days. Analyst consensus targets hover around $845, suggesting modest upside despite recent price weakness.

In short: no. I was a wall st market maker 15 years ago, explicitly exploiting inefficiencies in products like ETFs. Market makers absolutely do “game the system” in all sorts of ways, but for liquid products like BTC...
Alphabet (GOOGL) has found firm support near the $300 level after a recent pullback, prompting a high‑probability bull put spread trade. The suggested March 20 spread sells the 295‑strike put and buys the 290‑strike put, collecting roughly $0.85 per share ($85...

Indian equity benchmarks reversed early gains, with the BSE Sensex slipping 225 points to 82,050 and the NSE Nifty 50 falling 0.26% to 25,415 by midday. Selling pressure was concentrated in power, energy and consumer stocks, while auto and healthcare names...
People are extremely worried about the current crash on #Bitcoin. It has all to do with paper Bitcoin, the amount of derivative instruments, and the way our markets work. That's also why Gold has accelerated so fast, and that's also why this...

Indian equities opened with modest gains but reversed by early afternoon, as the Sensex fell 0.34% to 81,994 and the Nifty slipped 0.25% to 25,421. Profit‑taking, a seven‑month peak in crude‑oil prices, and renewed US‑Iran nuclear tensions pressured sentiment despite...

Chop chop and range market. Stay nimble short positions or long positions. Scrolling chart here looking for the next opportunity
$USO Daily. Strong upside reversal in crude oil today, off 20-day m.a. for ETF. I'm still using oil as a gauge for how serious Iran situation is. https://t.co/w7SKdZNPuo
$nvda failed fast. At lead u had $193.50 to use to adjust as it hit $184.58 pretty fast. https://t.co/YM6ciJGW9t
A technical setup is only as good as the market environment it lives in. Position sizing and risk management are tools to make up for the uncertainty.
Light asset, high obselence winning ... just over the last 3 sessions though $IGV https://t.co/gijfiDJzkr
All the stop-outs from yesterday, while the market was up, are up today when the market is down.
$GOOGL no green to red stop hit all out made some $ on the remainder of the holding. The name goes back on go-to list.
I posted this yesterday with regard to $NVDA (when we shorted it in the after hours).... @dougkass
$SMH Daily. Dare I say, the semis are not 4/20 friendly? Possible bull trap above $420 with a steep-on-all-timeframes chart. https://t.co/mTfXGNvwv7

Interesting seeing Low Volatility and High Beta as the best performing factors over the last month. I don't recall seeing these two at the top together very often. https://t.co/K79dkjqxxF
Folks still pretty hedged up from what I can see. A bit of a risk-on tailwind in the VIX term structure. Could we see a move higher with some FOMO? https://t.co/UAZfhySv15 https://t.co/7zeEui58Ho
Good chart. Can also lump a couple key AVWAPs and 200 week moving average as confluence around this area.

I put in some low ball offers on $CRM and $SNOW after er and now have a partial position in both. No paydays
$SNOW "Trade Idea 2: Buy the February 27 Expiry 167.50/172.50 Call Spread ($2.75) and sell the February 27 Expiry 146 Put for 45 cents." puts ecpire, sell call spread near $5 or watch to max out Friday
Sometimes, earnings moves are muted or delayed due to positioning in the options market. I don't know why more people don't talk about this?
$NVDA "Trade Idea 2: Buy the February 27 Expiry 197.50/202.50 Call Spread ($2.10) and sell the February 27 Expiry 185 Put for 15 cents." puts expire, sell call spread on any weakness in stock price.

The ability to read a chart is a gift you can only earn through research and experience.
Once your strategy is working, stop looking for better strategies. Look to optimize what you already have. Chasing perfection will kill your edge. Protect what you've built through focus and discipline.
The trend remains unclear, but $ ETH's move higher is a good sign. Ultimately, I'd like to see it clearly break through 0.03250. If that happens, it's a sign the markets are heading towards stronger #Altcoin prices. https://t.co/xClkrvC9CI
There we go, #Bitcoin grinds back upwards. Strong move and it's back into a lower timeframe uptrend. From that, I assume we'll start to see a rally towards $75K at the start of March. https://t.co/zfyGJh3xKV
