Key Takeaways
- A golden cross is an event: the 50-day SMA was at or below the 200-day SMA on the prior session and is above it on the signal session.
- Both averages use daily closing prices; a stock needs at least 201 sessions of clean history.
- The cross confirms a longer trend change after a move has already happened, so review the chart and risk before acting.
Free cards also require a close above $5, more than $10 million traded on the signal day, a current market cap of at least $2 billion, and they skip likely buyouts: stocks whose price has stayed within 3% for 10 sessions, which usually means a pending deal.
The exact golden cross rule
- 50-day SMA on the prior session is at or below the 200-day SMA on the prior session.
- 50-day SMA on the signal session is above the 200-day SMA on the signal session.
- Equal averages on the signal session are not a cross.
- No volume or trend filter is part of the signal itself.
What the cards show
Each card shows the 200-day SMA slope over the last 30 sessions and how far the close sits above or below the 200-day SMA. A rising 200-day average and a close above it describe a stronger cross than one forming under a falling 200-day line.
Golden cross versus death cross
The death cross is the mirror event: the 50-day SMA crossing below the 200-day SMA. It has its own page, the death cross screener, so each list stays focused on one direction.
What the delay means
The free cutoff is five actual exchange trading sessions behind the latest complete daily-data session. Weekends and holidays do not count. The page updates automatically from stored final scan results and never shows forming-candle matches. Charts can extend to the latest final close, but signal markers stop at the delayed cutoff.
Current scanners and trade tracking
The Financial Tech Wiz Trading Journal shows every golden cross signal the day it happens, the full history with a chart for each signal, and trade tracking with performance analytics. Its developing daily scans are labeled preliminary and confirm after the daily close.

FAQ
What is a golden cross in stocks?
A golden cross happens when a stock’s 50-day simple moving average crosses above its 200-day simple moving average. Traders read it as a sign that the longer-term trend has turned up.
Is a golden cross bullish or bearish?
A golden cross is a bullish signal because the shorter average moves above the longer one. It is a lagging signal, so many golden crosses fail or arrive after much of the move.
How often does this golden cross screener update?
The free page updates after each trading day from final data, with signals five trading sessions late. Members of the Financial Tech Wiz Trading Journal see each cross the day it happens.
