Sorry to dishearten you,A simple MA Strategy never works. In long run with back test you will see whipsaw

Although I agree with @MSN1979, that such simple MA strategies would not work in the long run, and will give good returns only during the strong trend phase etc. But still if you want to give it a try, then please post in this thread, as a lot of AFL experts vistit there - http://www.traderji.com/community/threads/simple-coding-help-no-promise.90119/

Thank you MSN1979 for sharing your view. But i would like to try that for some time now. Or will it help if its changed to EMA cross in the long run?
All indicators and oscillators are same, MA EMA DEMA Aroon RSI MACD.

Just think sir MA is available to everyone in market. Then why are 95% traders loosing money? Any indicator will only produce good results when markets are trending as senior member trade options stated. What works better is a combination of 1 Strategy + 1 indicator. So what is your strategy?

If you can crack when the markets are trending then you can make money. (So a good Strategy is required)
Once you know the trend ( you can use indicator to confirm the trend, so its only a add on benefit)

PS: You can google back test result of MA on any website. All the traders since the evolution of TA will tell you it doesn't work.
