A cross is a context signal, not a trigger
A golden cross summarizes months of price action in one event, which is why it lags. ConvexRadar stages crosses by age and distance so traders can tell a setup that is still forming from one that fired weeks ago, then judge the chart, liquidity, and catalysts themselves.
Both directions, same rules
The scanner treats bearish 50/200 death crosses with the same staging and distance rules as golden crosses, so trend-following and risk-management use cases both work from one list.
Connected to the options workflow
Because the breakout list lives beside the options scanner, a fresh cross can be checked against option-chain pressure, IV rank, and upcoming earnings before any decision — research context, not a prediction.
