Basic MA buy/sell

I've been looking around and I see that people post MA crossovers in regards to another MA.

My question is what about a algo that uses 1 moving average, and when PRICE crosses this MA, it triggers corresponding buy or sell order?

I don't know code, but I'm curious how this test would run on multiple time frames using an 11 period moving average.

It will loose money over a year time frame, guaranteed, unless you run it for specific period where you already know it will make money. I have never tried any MA crossover and yet I know. LOL.

I trade options using this method on a 1 minute chart, it's very effective
