The 13/48 trading strategy is a technical analysis method that uses moving averages to identify potential trading opportunities.

The strategy is based on the idea that when the 13-period exponential moving average (EMA) crosses above the 48-period EMA, it is a bullish signal that indicates that the price is likely to rise.

We backtest the following trading rules:

  1. If the 13-period EMA crosses above the 48-period EMA, it is a bullish signal. This means that you should buy the stock or market.
  2. If the 13-period EMA crosses below the 48-period EMA, it is a bearish signal. This means that you should sell the stock or market.

This is a very simple strategy to backtest. We looked at many different markets, and it works best on stocks. Below is the equity curve for the cash index of S&P 500 from 1960 until today.
