Creating a Moving Average Cross Trading Strategy Step-by-step.
Coding and Back-testing a Moving Average Strategy From Scratch in Python.
The most basic Trend-Following strategy is the cross between different-period moving averages as it can signal a potential change in the overall trend. Intuitively, it is a good strategy but we always need to back oir intuitions with numbers. The idea of the article is to create back-test from scratch at its basic form to have a preliminary idea on the results. Therefore, importing data and analyzing the results (with the code) are covered.
I have just published a new book after the success of New Technical Indicators in Python. It features a more complete description and addition of complex trading strategies with a Github page dedicated to the continuously updated code.
