Excellent study. Thanks for showing what really works.

My recollection is that the classic definition also requires both averages to be pointing in the same direction when they cross.
RE to sysin3: I’ve heard some folks use that before too (assuming we both mean for a long trade, both averages would have to be moving up, and vice-versa for a short trade). I’ve run the numbers in the past on that, but didn’t post about it – I’ll add it to the to do list for the near future. Thanks, michael

Can I put in a word for the 13/34 ema crossover on the weekly chart. Only three signals since 2000, each one of them sound :
October 2000 sell
May 2003 buy
Dec 2007 sell
I enjoy your studies
Thanks
