The Strategy Example

  1. Compute a 9-bar and a 21-bar exponential moving average — the short pair that intraday traders watch.
  2. Buy when the 9 crosses above the 21.
  3. Sell when it crosses back below. With spans this short both averages sit close to price, so the crossings come far more often than on the 20/50 pair — earlier into a real move, but with many more false starts in between.

One run, cut two ways: which dataset it was measured on, and what of it you are reading — every trade as it happened, where the run ended, or the five scores it earned.
