This Trading System is “long only” to play because stock markets should going up in the long run. (long only) bias.
The Idea is to have the 200 day simple moving average and buy if the 38 day simple moving average is 3 % over the 200 day average and sell all when its cross 3 % under the 200 day moving average.
for lazy investors this is the weekly system. you have to check only on weekends the systems and place you bets on monday.
no stops, no money management. everytime all is investment long.
the advantge from the system is, you gain wealth long term with lower draw downs because you avoid the big bear markets with this simple system.
no optimization it needed.
when the sytem ist flat, you can invest in bond market, to profit more from bear market.
the system works stable with all big markets, for example
