The four most repeated timing rules, tested against ten years of real data on thirty major markets — each one measured against simply buying and holding. Pick a rule and an asset, or test any ticker yourself.
Hold the asset while it trades above its 200-day average; sit in cash while it trades below. The most widely repeated timing rule in markets.
Buy when the 50-day average crosses above the 200-day (the “golden cross”) and sell on the “death cross” back below it.
Buy when RSI drops below 30 — the textbook “oversold” signal — and hold for 20 trading days.
Hold only from November through April and stay in cash for the summer months, on the old market adage.
We test one strategy people swear by and publish whatever the data says — including when it says the strategy doesn't work. Free, no pitch.
