Golden Cross Scanner

Golden cross scanner with price confirmation and staging.

ConvexRadar's Breakout Scanner tracks daily 50/200 moving-average relationships across US stocks and ETFs, stages each setup from pending to fresh to established, and connects crosses to the options flow context around them.

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.

What is a golden cross?

A golden cross is when a faster moving average, commonly the 50-day, closes above a slower one, commonly the 200-day. It is a trend-context signal that lags price and does not guarantee continuation.

Does the scanner cover death crosses too?

Yes. The Breakout Scanner tracks both bullish 50/200 golden crosses and bearish death crosses, with the same staging, price-distance, and confirmation context.

Can I use EMA instead of SMA?

Yes. The scanner supports EMA, SMA, or both at once, because traders disagree on which average defines the cross.
