The golden cross trading strategy is still popular, but it's old.
[4]
When we tested the Golden Cross Strategy 100 times, it got a 42 percent approximate win
[10]
rate with a 1.5 to 1 reward risk ratio and the profit graph in the Trading Rush App went
[15]
in the upward direction, but it was not that good.
[19]
The Golden Cross Trading Strategy uses the Simple Moving Averages, and as you already
[24]
know, the simple moving average is a lagging moving average.
[29]
In fact, it is slower than the Exponential and Weighted Moving averages.
[33]
So what will happen if we improve the Golden Cross Strategy by switching the SMA with a
[38]
faster moving average like the weighted moving average.
[42]
And that's exactly what I did.
[44]
In the last video, we learned more about the weighted moving average and the strategy based
[48]
around it.
[49]
So in this video, I tested the better and faster Golden Cross Trading Strategy 100 times,
[56]
and here's what happened.

Because you don't want to risk your money on a strategy that doesn't work.
[77]
Number 1.
[78]
Since the Original Golden Cross Trading Strategy got a 42 percent win rate, one can expect
[84]
a similar win rate with this modified Golden Cross, after all, all we are doing is replacing
[90]
the slower moving average with a faster one.
[93]
But surprisingly, the win rate was actually better.
[96]
In the Trading Rush App, the profit graph of the original Golden Cross went in the upward
[101]
direction at the beginning, but then started a downtrend and didn't really came back in
[106]
the positive territory until the very end.
[109]
Now remember, both strategies were tested on the same pair, same timeframe, and almost
[114]
the same market structure.
[116]
But if you look at the profit graph of the Weighted Moving Average Golden Cross, you
[120]
will see that it is more consistently going in the upward direction.
[124]
In fact, it never went into the negative territory at the start even though the market structure
[130]
was the same.
[131]
Why?
[132]
Why changing a simple thing as a moving average is making such a noticeable difference?
[137]
There is not much difference between the Weighted and Simple Moving Average, right?
[141]
Well, when the market movement is really good and the price is making big moves, you won't
[147]
notice much of a difference between the entry signals of the two moving averages.
[151]
One will be earlier than the other, but compared to the big moves price makes in a good trend,
[157]
they are not that far from each other.
[159]
But the problem is clearly visible in the slow-moving markets.
[163]
As you already know, the price stays in a range most of the time.
[167]
And when the trend is slow, the weighted moving average is like the Usain Bolt of moving averages,
[172]
and the SMA is like a turtle.
[175]
In the slow trending market, the WMA was so fast at reacting to the direction change,
[181]
that the entry signals it gave were actually profitable.
[184]
On the other hand, the simple moving average was so slow compared to the WMA, the entry
[189]
signals were generated near the end of the trend.
[193]
This is where the Weighted Golden Cross took the lead.
[196]
This is where the Simple Golden Cross lost money, but Weighted Golden Cross made money.
[202]
And as you can see in the Trading Rush App, the Weighted Golden Cross Trading Strategy
[206]
got a win rate of approximately 48 percent with a 1.5 to 1 reward risk ratio, which is
[213]
much better than the Original Golden Cross Trading Strategy.
[217]
When we tested the simple golden cross last time, it made a profit of 500.
[222]
Profit is still a profit, but the weighted Golden Cross because of the faster and better
[227]
entry signals, made a profit of 2000 which is a lot better.
[231]
It lost聽 7 trades in a row and won 4 trades in a row.
[236]
The best part is the profit graph.
[239]
The profit graph of the weighted Golden Cross is more consistent and looks way better than
[243]
the profit graph of the Simple Golden Cross.
[245]
5.8 + 7.5 + 6 + 6.5 + 7.3 = 33.1
[246]
And now, if we give the Faster Golden Cross Trading Strategy a Trading Rush Score, you
[252]
will see that it gets a 33.1 out of 50.
[256]
And if you come to the Official Trading Rush Website, you will see that it ranks 7th from
[260]
the top, just below the Ichimoku Cloud, and above the Alligator Trading Strategy.
[266]
And for reference, the Simple Golden Cross ranks 23rd from the top.
[271]
So we can say that the Weighted Moving Average definitely improved the Winrate of the Golden
[276]
Cross Trading Strategy.
