Moving Average Crossover
Determine a trend by using a moving average crossover strategy.
e.g. 50 and 200 moving averages, which are commonly used settings.
Buy
If there is an uptrend, it’s better to make a Buy trade when the price hits a moving average from above and keeps on moving towards the trend.
Sell
If there is a downtrend, it’s better to make a Sell trade when the price hits a moving average from below and keeps on moving towards the trend.
