Moving average winner

Quote from bobcathy1:

MA systems only seem to work for me when I am there all day babysitting the trades because one needs to put in a strategy for the exits that works better than the next cross of the MA.

Same here, it's very deceiving. Actually, it's worse than that. With overnight holds I have to monitor at 6pm, midnight, and 6am. I'm quite tired. But it does work. Also, I use a single moving average vice a crossover.

wwatson1,

Are you using any other rules?
My numbers dont look remotely like yours.

I enter long on ema(10) > ema(200)
and exit on ema(10) < ema(200)

Reverse for shorts.

.25 slippage on entry and exit

Holds over night, and only enters/exits on crossovers.



peace
