as a trader i can confirm this simple strategy works in every single time frame...lower time frames demand a small stop loss, higher time frames larger stop loss. I have developed my own strategy based on market analysis but the EMA crossover is in my arsenal from the start of my journey.

As always, another solid video with sound advice. I have actually performed this exact back test previously and found it to perform reasonably. Like all timing models, it suffers during periods of consolidation. A similar approach that involves the MACD indicator applied to the SPY using the weekly chart and settings of 12/25/9 will out perform the 10/20 EMA as described in this video. I encourage you to back test both options and choose the approach that works for you.

[@evanli44]

I just did a back test on tradewell app. This works only on certain time frames. If you back test all the way to the early 90s, buy and hold worked better. Also the COVID crash basically negates this strategy's benefits over buy and hold if you are doing this on the weekly level as it would have you selling at near the low and buying back when the market bounce back was nearly complete. You also did not explain the trading windows very well. This works OK as a sell signal but it has too much lag for timing the bottom. If the markets are going sideways, as it appears to be doing now, it probably will underperform either buy and hold or simply staying in case.

[@FinancialWisdom]

Its all about the trading windows. Also dont forget if you are looking from a standalone approach on the index you need to factor in drawdown too

Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

I do feel that this method is going to produce somewhat similar results of the Dow theory video because you’re using a weekly chart so by the time the weekly chart is showing higher highs or lower lows essentially a market change of direction. I think you would also see the same on the daily chart.

[@raveneye77]

I calculated this method on an S&P 500 ETF for September 2020 until March 2024. EMA 10/20 only achieved 90% of the final amount of a buy and hold strategy. Better was a WMA 3/6 strategy with 96% (lot more sell and buy actions), but yet underperformed to the buy and hold strategy. And this is without any costs for buying and selling. I don‘t know. Maybe this strategy only works when you are really hitting those bear markets like 2008/09 for months or even years. But applying this strategy in a bull market doesn’t seem to work. You sell when small corrections happen at a low price and buy at a higher price back for no gains. But since this stratgey is ought to protect you from getting hit by a bear market, you would need to apply it constantly. But then you lose out performance. It is always simple to retroactively look at a chart and say that you would have avoided months of decline. But when you don’t know that such huge setbacks will happen, this strategy costs you money in uptrending or sideway markets obviously.

[@USMColdies]

I am a subscriber and a fan of this channel so this is not a criticism but an observation. There is an incremental rebalancing nuance that most miss with getting in and out the markets as suggested. For eg, in a best case US market scenario, say one has stayed long enough in a position to qualify for long term capital gains tax rate, then for a hypothetical $100k investment, one will automatically incur a 15% drawdown from capital gains interest. On a worse case scenario where the position is held for less than a year, upon sale that same investment is penalized 24%. For any investment amount, for any period, selling a position will automatically incur anywhere between 10-37% drawdown. What people miss is that if one loses x% in a trade, it takes x+y% just to get back even, not x%. For eg, a 50% drawdown requires a 100% profit just to get back to even. My point is, if exiting a position with a guaranteed 10-37% drawdown, one must have a plan to make back (10+x - 37+y )% just to get back to even, as opposed to the buy and hold where one just waits for price to rebound...

The video clearly implies that the strategy can be used solely for trading signals or in combination with other strategies such as a 12% trailing stop. Sure, the video also mentions using the 10/20 EMA to identify Trading Windows. But your replies to various comments say that you ONLY use the 10/20 EMA Crossover to show trading windows and NOT for trading signals. Exactly why is that? Are you therefore saying that traders who want to keep it simple can't or shouldn't use just the 10/20 EMA for trading signals? If so, why mention it in the context of entries and exits in the first place? All that said, I love the simplicity of the strategy, whether for trading windows or trading signals. The importance of avoiding portfolio crushing drawdowns cannot be emphasized enough. Especially for those who may not have the time or desire to wait years for breakeven. The last thing such investors or traders want is to be Trapped Buyers. Finally, how does you MACD strategy fit into all this? Much interested in your reply to these fair and reasonable questions. Thanks.

Change those parameters to 50/200 and apply the trading rule to a diversified portfolio of markets across asset classes, and maybe then the rule can show some profits. However, if you want to go broke fast, apply the 10/20 cross to a single market… don’t believe me? Backtest it. Sure, it may show that it worked on apple, for example, but how would you know to trade apple in the first place (survivorship bias)? Instead of the 1000 other tech companies that went to zero. Think about it. Applying these trend trading rules to a single market or even a handful of stocks is analogous to gambling. How do professional trend followers and CTAs trade? Hint: diversification across asset classes is KEY. The rules themselves, that is, the specifics (crossover or price breakout etc.) are largely irrelevant, all these rules accomplish the same thing - they jump on trends and ride them. I highly recommend a book called “stocks on the move” by Andreas Clenow. He explains this concept with hard evidence/backtests so much better than I can here. Keep the discussion going, this is good.

It may be extremely important to constantly remind ourselves that technical analysis is merely a tool to be used as an educated GUESS of future market occurrences. It DOES NOT guarantee nor promise future outcomes. Making peace with this fundamental fact will help eliminate most of our frustrations with trading and help us manage our expectations. Successful trading can only occur when we recognize that the market owes us nothing. It is under no obligation to comply with our expectations based on countless analytical tools. Those tools simply give us an edge in the “guessing game”. Success in the game depends largely on how we manage our risks and our expectations. When we deal with those (risk management and psychology), those Moving Averages and countless tools start to work in our favor.

Well said

Btw, time opprtunity is a great deal. You may buy UUP during red zones instead of just holding cash. That would make your investment go higher even on downfalls.

[@FinancialWisdom]

Not sure I understand....

[@tempestcapital3006]

@@FinancialWisdom Perhaps he’s referring to the ETF

[@sryavuz]

@@FinancialWisdom I saw this comment just now :( UUP is an ETF which rises with DXY (dollar index). When markets are trending down, dollar is mostly rising. Therefore it makes a good hedge/antagonist against market movements.

How does this compare to your other video suggesting 200 DMA end of month status decisions?

[@whitenoisejack]

Gareth, do you think that you prefer this strategy over the 10 Month line on a monthly chart? I know you did a video about that strategy before. Which one rules?

[@drkrueger]

I love these videos! This one especially. Excellent! I've not seen any recent videos. Are you still producing? What are your thoughts regarding EMA vs Hull MA? Would the HMA be as or more effective using the methods you describe here? How well do you think this can be applied to individual securities? Many thanks!

[@joesmith8462]

Where are you able to backtest EMA strategies exactly? Many thanks for your excellent videos, found you after discovering risk on risk off from MA.

How did the EMA crossover do when compared to the MACD FANG strategy.

[@xenod1066]

How does this compare to the 200 day moving average approach?

[@SaranjivacSRB]

*Hmmm, I used this info to expand your BTC trading strategy by adding in an alternate condition to your trading windows. So in other words to check for either 12/26/9 MACD crossovers or 10/20 EMA crossovers on a weekly chart as a trading window opportunity.* I back tested it for 2016+ and also for 2020+ and for ETH, in all cases it slightly improved upon your results but kept the largest losing trades intact.

[@FinancialWisdom]

up to you 🙄

[@riccardoronco627]

The final part re applying the 10/20 ema to FAANG is a bit overfitting however there is merit IMHO so in a backtest going back to 2000 apply the 10/20 only to the top 10 market cap stocks with a check every week or month about which stock would be a valid candidate. This is the most objective way to get FAANGs at any point in time. Trend following only applied to the top market cap equities.
