Where It Works

How It Trades

  1. Compute two weighted moving averages of the close: a fast one over 20 bars and a slow one over 50.
  2. Buy when the fast WMA crosses above the slow one: recent prices are rising faster than the longer trend, suggesting an uptrend is starting.
  3. Sell when the fast WMA crosses back below the slow one: the short-term push has faded beneath the longer trend.
