Two Moving Average Crossover Strategy with Opposite-Signal Exits

Summary

The document describes a basic trend-following system that compares a fast moving average with a slow moving average. It opens a long position when the fast average crosses above the slow one, and a short position when it crosses below. An open position is closed when the averages generate the opposite crossover signal.

The document provides no backtest results, instrument or timeframe details, rules for choosing the averages, or discussion of transaction costs and risk controls. It therefore presents the entry and exit concept but does not establish whether the method is profitable or suitable for any particular market. Those choices would need to be specified and evaluated separately.

Key ideas

• A fast moving average crossing above a slow moving average triggers a buy signal.
• A downward crossover triggers a sell signal.
• An open trade is closed when the opposite crossover occurs.
• The description does not specify average settings, market, timeframe, or performance evidence.
