In the 1950's entry and exit costs were much higherI guess Merrill's never actually blamed their high and controlled fees for the poor performance.
Moving average cross overs are used successfully by many CTAs one very good example is Tom Basso's TrendStat which manages pension fund money. They may add a few bells and whistles but go back and
do some testing and you will see that although you only win
on 1 in 3 (due to non trending chop) you actually make respectablesteady profits using crossovers in the long run.

Moving Averages. By themselves, they are useless. With other indicators, they sometime prove essential. What does this mean? This means if you buy/sell a stock/market that crosses a moving average, you will lose money in the long run. Merrill Lynch proved this in the 1950's. They spent millions on research looking for moving average combinations that made money. Their findings? None do. And, nearly 50 years later, this study has yet to be unproven. Moving averages are wonderful when combined with other appropriate indicators. But as a straight crossover method...forget about it!

That would be two moving averages crossing over each other as in 50 over 200.
