A moving average crossover is a technical analysis method used to identify potential trend changes. It is based on two moving averages with different periods: a shorter-term moving average, which reacts more quickly to price movements, and a longer-term moving average, which responds more slowly.
When the shorter-term moving average crosses above the longer-term moving average, this is called a bullish crossover. Conversely, when it crosses below the longer-term moving average, this is called a bearish crossover.
Moving average crossovers can be used to identify potential trend changes and spot possible buying or selling opportunities.
However, in markets without a clear trend, moving averages may cross repeatedly and generate false signals. These crossovers should therefore be interpreted in their market context and can be combined with other analysis criteria or filters.
The Moving Average Crossover Screener searches the market for stocks showing a bullish or bearish crossover between a shorter-term and a longer-term moving average on the current bar. Bullish and bearish searches can be enabled independently.
Results are sorted according to the type of crossover detected: bullish or bearish.
General filtering on the daily timeframe, based on price and trading volume, allows you to select the desired liquidity level.
Many parameters allow you to adapt the search to your own criteria. All settings can be adjusted directly from ProRealTime's “Variables” menu, without modifying the code.
