A moving-average crossover is one of the oldest systematic strategies: hold the asset while short-term momentum (the fast average) leads long-term trend (the slow average), and step aside otherwise. It won't always beat buy-and-hold - in strong uptrends holding usually wins - but it often cuts drawdowns. Compare the two equity curves and the risk stats to see the trade-off for your ticker.
