Always treat others with respect and kindness, even if you disagree with them. Avoid making personal attacks or insulting others, and try to maintain a civil and constructive tone in your discussions.

Buy when the index closes above the moving average. Period.

Yes, I understand your rule set, and it's probably the one that makes the most sense.

What I was wondering is if you tested the theoretically possible case that after a sell signal (when you are out of the market) you already buy if GTT turns positive while the market is still skeptical, i.e. stays below the moving average. Probably a rare event, and risky if there is a double dip recession for example.
