A 30-Day and 80-Day Moving Average Crossover Strategy

Summary

This simple long-only stock strategy uses the relationship between 30-day and 80-day moving averages to determine whether to hold a position. When the shorter average is above the longer one and the account is flat, it buys stocks using the full account allocation. When the shorter average falls below the longer one and the account has stock exposure, it sells the holdings.

The description gives only these entry and exit rules. It does not specify how stocks are selected, how often signals are checked, or how transaction costs, position risk, and failed or repeated signals are handled. No performance evidence or backtest details are supplied, so the rules describe a basic trend-following template rather than a validated trading system.

Key ideas

• The strategy compares 30-day and 80-day moving averages.
• It enters a full-allocation stock position when the shorter average is higher and the account is flat.
• It exits stock holdings when the shorter average falls below the longer average.
• The description omits asset selection, risk controls, and performance evidence.
