This signal is warning you to get out of the market

Not into moneyweek as a publication, but thought this may be an interesting debate. Especially for trend followers: -

I came across the "death cross" indicator too a while back, again there seems to be material on the web to both support and refute the theory which should no doubt help to muddy the water even further.

I don't think there's anything magical about a 50/200 moving average crossover, or any huge sigificance about the direction in which the 200 line is pointing.

Using 10/20 moving average crossovers will also give you a healthy profit.

But 50/200 crossover is a viable entry signal (although the author doesn't tell his readers where they should close their trades!).
