Would the crossover have beaten just holding?
Quantora pulls two weeks of real hourly candles for a Solana token and runs a moving-average crossover against the dumbest benchmark there is — buying once and doing nothing. The terminal shows every signal, the equity path, and whether the extra effort actually paid.

What the rule does
A fast moving average reacts quickly; a slow one is the trend. When fast crosses above slow we go long at that hour's close and hold; when it crosses back below we move to cash. Long-only, one position at a time.
Reading the numbers
Alpha is strategy return minus buy-and-hold over the same window. Max drawdown is the worst peak-to-trough on the equity curve. Sharpe annualises the hourly return-to-volatility ratio — higher means smoother gains.
Honest limits
Fourteen days of one token is a small sample, and this run ignores fees, slippage and the funding you'd lose sitting in cash. It is a research sketch, not a trading signal — tune the windows and watch how fragile the edge is.
