Bullish MA Closes

Backtest any equity against a Price Cross strategy: buy when price closes above the moving average.

Exit on a profit target (% gain) or stop loss (% loss) — whichever hits first.

Optional MA Alignment filter: only take trades when the selected MA is above every longer MA, confirming a multi-timeframe uptrend.

Compare the strategy's real historical returns against Buy & Hold with full equity curve, trade log, and drawdown stats.

Backtest what happens when you buy a stock as soon as it closes above a moving average

MA Alignment

Only takes a trade when the selected moving average is above every longer MA (5 > 10 > 20 > 50 > 100 > 200).

Without this filter, you can end up buying a short-term bounce inside a long-term downtrend.

Turning it on makes sure the stock is trending up on every timescale before you enter.
