💬 AI prompt: Trend rules are research signals, not orders
A trend rule simply checks whether a price is above or below its recent average, as a warning light, not a command.
Copy this prompt
I'm attaching daily closing prices for [ticker or index]. Calculate the 50-day and 150-day moving averages and list every time the price crossed below the 150-day line in this period. For each, say what happened over the next 3 months. Include the false alarms. This is research only; do not recommend trades. Stop after the table and a 3-sentence summary.
How to use it
- Open Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude — any of them works.
- Paste the prompt and fill in every [bracket]. Black out names, account numbers and member IDs first.
- Read the answer and double-check anything important before you act on it.
