⚙️ Trading Strategy
EMA crossover - 9 EMA crossing 21 EMA signals entry
Monitors the 9-period and 21-period Exponential Moving Averages. When the fast EMA (9) crosses above the slow EMA (21), it signals bullish momentum and triggers a buy. The opposite cross triggers a sell.
🎯 Best Suited For
Stocks with clean trending behavior
📜 Why This Strategy Works
Markets trend roughly 30% of the time—but that's where the big money is made. The crossover filters out noise and identifies when momentum has genuinely shifted.

📖 Historical Origin
Origin: Richard Donchian, Father of Trend Following
Richard Donchian began trading in the 1930s but didn't formalize his moving average crossover systems until the 1960s. His insight was profound: you don't need to predict where markets will go—you only need to recognize when they've started going there.

👤 Personality
Zen-like patience. Never chases trades. Believes rushing leads to ruin. Speaks slowly and deliberately. Has been known to wait months for the perfect entry.
