Does 50-day moving average cross actually work on MARA? We tested it

This strategy made a huge amount of money, turning a 1553% total return, but the ride was extremely lumpy and painful. The worst moment was a staggering 79% drawdown that lasted over two years, from late 2023 into early 2026, which would have been very hard to sit through. The win rate is low at only 28%, meaning most trades lost money, but the winners were massive enough to more than cover the losses. The entry timing is a key strength here, as the real entries beat 91% of random entry runs, so the setup itself is good at picking the right moments to get in. The edge was also consistent, showing up in three out of four test periods, so the result is not just a fluke from one lucky stretch.
