Stocks with golden crossover

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $300M

   • Purpose: Focus on established, more stable companies.
   • Rationale: Golden cross patterns on very small microcaps or “story stocks” are often driven by illiquidity or hype. A $300M+ market cap threshold helps weed out the most speculative names so that the technical pattern is more likely to reflect real institutional interest and fundamentals.

2. Share Price ≥ $3

   • Purpose: Exclude penny stocks and extremely low-priced shares.
   • Rationale: Golden cross–type signals in sub-$3 stocks can be noisy and easily manipulated. By setting a minimum price, the screener targets securities where the pattern is more meaningful and where slippage/spreads are usually narrower.

3. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $500,000

   • Purpose: Ensure sufficient liquidity.
   • Rationale: A golden crossover is more reliable when it occurs in stocks that trade real money volume every day. The $500k+ dollar volume filter ensures that:
     • You can realistically enter and exit positions.
     • The moving averages are based on a healthy number of traded shares, not a few thin prints.

4. Moving Average Relationship: PriceCrossAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Capture the key “crossover” event.
   • Rationale: A classic golden cross is when a shorter-term moving average (often the 50-day) crosses above a longer-term one (often the 200-day), signaling a potential shift from downtrend to uptrend.
     • PriceCrossAboveMA200 is picking up a closely related technical signal: the price itself has just moved from below to above its 200-day moving average.
     • In practice, this often coincides with or precedes the 50/200-day golden cross and serves as a strong trend-change clue.

5. Moving Average Relationship: PriceAboveMA200

   • Purpose: Confirm the emerging uptrend.
   • Rationale: After the crossover event, you want the stock to be trading above its long-term trend line (the 200-day MA), not whipsawing back below it.
     • This filter ensures you’re seeing stocks where the price remains in a bullish posture, consistent with the intent of trading a golden cross setup rather than a failed signal.

Why Results Match the “Golden Crossover” Idea

• The moving-average relationship filters are directly aligned with the core concept: a shift from below to above a key long-term moving average, consistent with a trend reversal like a golden cross.
• The market cap, price, and liquidity filters refine the universe to more tradable, higher-quality names where the crossover pattern is more likely to be meaningful and actionable, rather than random noise in illiquid or ultra-speculative stocks.
