More or less, if the 50 day EMA drops below the 100 day EMA, sell. If it goes above, buy.
Uses a mix of 14 stocks that's a bit tech heavy so it uses QQQ as a benchmark.
For a better benchmark I'm going to re-run it with just buying the stock and holding the whole time.
Seems to miss out on sudden surges quite often.
Nice! Comparing those 2 is not accurate though, as I don't see that you've accounted for broking fees. At a guess, the first script will have more buy/sells than the second, which is buy and hold only. I think there are other examples of how to add in fees and costs to the mix. Well done! Looking forward to seeing your next one :-)
I believe since I didn't set a custom commission it uses $0.03/share as a default rate.So the first one definitely got hit with more since its the only one with any activity. I'll try it again with commission set to $4.75/trade.
