Stocks crossing their moving averages.
Key point
Searching for a moving average crossover scanner or a 200 day moving average screener? In Trade Ideas, this is Streaming Alerts: the cross alerts fire on the cross, and the distance filters keep only stocks on the side of the average you want.
Streaming Alerts push each alert the moment it fires, the Moving Average filters are checked at that same moment, and Top Lists can sort by them.
Settings
A moving average smooths price over a set number of days or candles; traders watch for price, or a faster average, crossing it. The Moving Average category holds the daily SMA cross alerts (20, 50 and 200 day), intraday period SMA crossovers and thrusts, and filters that measure how far price sits from a daily or intraday SMA.
How Trade Ideas finds it: Crossed Above 200 Day Moving Average Alert (CA200): by default, the Crossed Above 200 Day Moving Average alert appears when the price of a stock crosses above its 200 day moving average with sufficient volume. Change From 200 Day SMA (%) Filter (MA200P): set the min value to 1 to see only stocks that are performing better than their long-term SMA.

What are Moving Average alerts and filters?
A moving average smooths price over a set number of days or candles; traders watch for price, or a faster average, crossing it. The Moving Average category holds the daily SMA cross alerts (20, 50 and 200 day), intraday period SMA crossovers and thrusts, and filters that measure how far price sits from a daily or intraday SMA.
How do I get alerts for moving average crossovers?
Use the Change From 200 Day SMA (%) Filter (MA200P). Set the min value to 1 to see only stocks that are performing better than their long-term SMA.
How many alerts and filters are in the Moving Average category?
The Moving Average category has 38 alerts and 39 filters (77 in all). Each one links to its own help page with default settings and examples.
Is there a moving average crossover scanner that works in real time?
Yes. In Trade Ideas, it is Streaming Alerts: the cross alerts fire on the cross, and the distance filters keep only stocks on the side of the average you want. Each alert reaches you the moment it fires, not on the next refresh.
Can I backtest Moving Average alerts before I trade them?
Yes. OddsMakerTI Premium, the Trade Ideas backtesting tool, runs event-based backtests on alert-based strategies across thousands of stocks, with no coding. Pick a Moving Average alert as the entry, add filters, and see how the strategy would have done.
