Golden Cross 50/200

Simplicity characterizes each of my trading systems and methods. On this occasion, I present a trend-following strategy with simple rules and high profitability.


System Rules:

-Long entries when the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA.

-Stop Loss (SL) placed at the low of 15 candles prior to the entry candle.

-Take Profit (TP) triggered when the 50 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA.

As with any trend-following system, we sacrifice win rate for profitability, and of course, we will focus on traditional markets with a consistent trend-following nature over time.

Timeframes such as Daily, 12-hour, 8-hour, and even 5-minute charts are profitable with this system, so feel free to experiment.

-XAUUSD (H1, H4, H6, H8, Daily)

-SPX (Daily: +21,302% profitability since 1871 in 40 trades)

-Tesla (H1, H2, H4, H6, especially M30 and M15)

-Apple (M5, M15, M30, H1, H2, H4…)

-Warner Bros (M5, M15, M30…)

-META (M5, M15, M30, H1, H2, H4…)

-NVDA (M5, M15, M30, H1, H2, H4…)

This system not only generates significant profitability but also performs very well in traditional markets, even on lower timeframes like 5-minute charts. In many cases, the returns far exceed Buy & Hold.
