    It might be an idea not to use exactly MA200 but something a little less or higher, because everyone else uses that, so you could be in before the MA200 traders strike and get boosted by them.

  3. If you can stomach this type of trading, not bad at all. A quick backtest showed a profit factor of about 3, avg win/avg loss of about 6.5 and around 125 points profit per share since SPY inception. max open drawdown about 3.5 points per share. Not bad at all. Longest trade lasted 2 years. :)
