Trading Strategy Analysis
Trading any strategy on an individual stock (such as Intel Corporation) can be very difficult. Of the three combinations tested with the Moving Average Price Crossing trading strategy, the daily charts seems to have the most promise. This setup is profitable, however there are some issues. First, the total number of trades is below our threshold of 200. Second, the drawdown is still fairly large. Third, the majority of the gains seen occurred on just a few trades.
With that said, as compared to the buy and hold of the INTC, this strategy does show some promise.
