Investment Stategy based on 200d moving average

Dear all

I'm planning to implement a new investment strategy which is based on a 200 day moving average. As long as the "stock" price (e.g. S&P 500) is above
the 200 day moving average i'm planning to invest $ 1'500.-. If the Index falls below the 200 day moving average I will increase my investment sum to $ 5'000.- ( based on monthly investments)

Is anyone out there who could write this algorithm?

Thanks for you help

Best regards

Reto

If you search the community for "moving average" you'll find other similar threads.

Cheers,
