Subject : Basic moving average strategy for backtesting
Posted : 4/14/2016 10:35 AM
Post #36146

I am trying to create my own strategy's but I am not having any luck. Below is what I have on my screen. For simplicity sake I just want to create a strategy where I go long when the 50day moving average crosses above the 200 day moving average. And close out the position when the 50 day goes below the 200 day moving average. After this I should be able to tweak it around. If someone would be kind enough to help me create this strategy it would be greatly appreciated. I thought trading was frustrating but trying to learn this back testing is a different beast. lol... I am just not sure what to put in parameters, conditions, filter sections.
