What About EMA 3/30 ?

    
My brother wants to know the backtest performance summary for EMA 3/30 crossover.  Here is the result brother. 



And the equity curve (before cost) chart...






This is a Stop-and-Reverse (SAR) system trading 1 contract on Bursa FKLI (continuous front-month EOD data) from Jan 1996 - Sep 2009.  When the EMA 3(closed) crosses above EMA 30 (closed) the system would go Long 1 contract on next-day open and turn Short on next-day open when the EMA 3 (closed) crosses below EMA 30 (closed).

Happy trading brother!

And as usual....

  4. Stocktrader, after years of developing and testing, I found out that there's no one system that can be used for all products.

    Different product will either need different system or same system but with different parameters and filters added in. Even same system that works in a particular product may not work after some time.

    For beginners, I would always suggest them to pickup simple systems such as SMA or volatility based such as BB, or Donchian for both trend-follow or counter-trend trading. Cheers & Happy trading!
