Technical & Price Action
Golden Crossover is a Technical & Price Action screen. It checks every NSE-listed stock against 1 condition computed from nightly data, after excluding heavily pledged promoters and very small market caps. This page explains the rule, each figure and its source. It lists no stocks and is not advice.
The golden crossover identifies stocks where short-term price momentum has turned bullish. It fires when the 50-day moving average of a stock's price crosses above its 200-day moving average — a signal that the recent trend is strengthening relative to the longer-term trend. Traders use this as an early sign that a stock is transitioning from a downtrend or sideways phase into an uptrend. It says nothing about whether the business is good or cheap — it is purely a price-behaviour filter.
A stock must satisfy every condition below. Conditions are grouped under the pillar they test.
Price Trend
Hard excludes
Ranked by Market Cap, highest first.
50-Day Moving Average
The average closing price of the stock over the last 50 trading days. It smooths out day-to-day noise and represents the stock's near-term price trend.
In the Golden Crossover, the 50-day MA is the short-term trend line. When it is rising and crosses above the 200-day MA, it signals that recent buying pressure is gaining ground.
High is better
200-Day Moving Average
The average closing price of the stock over the last 200 trading days. It represents the long-term price trend and acts as a major support or resistance level.
In the Golden Crossover, the 200-day MA is the long-term baseline. The crossover is only meaningful when the 50-day MA rises above it — if the 200-day MA itself is falling steeply, the signal is weaker.
High is better
MA Spread (50d above 200d, %)
How far the 50-day MA is above the 200-day MA, expressed as a percentage. A larger positive spread means the short-term trend is well ahead of the long-term trend.
A freshly crossed stock will have a spread near 0%. A stock that crossed weeks ago and has continued climbing will show a larger spread, indicating the trend is sustained rather than a one-day fluke.
High is better

We could not tell this screen's picks apart from the stocks it left out. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding that the screen is wrong; it is still a valid way to narrow a list by your own rules.
AI-generated plain-language explanation
Each month across 64 months of data we checked, we measured whether the stocks this screen picked did better over the following month (21 trading days) than the stocks it did not pick. We score that from -1 (the picks always did worse) to +1 (always did better); 0 means no pattern. This screen scored -0.0017. As a measurement, the score is essentially zero. If the screen had no real edge, a score at least this far from zero would show up about 74 in 100 by luck alone. That does not mean the screen is wrong; it still works for narrowing a list of stocks by your own rules. This is a record of the past, not a prediction.

In the past data we checked, we could not tell the stocks this screen picked apart from the ones it left out. Each month, across the whole period we have data for, we checked whether the stocks this screen picked did better, over the following month (21 trading days), than the stocks it didn't pick. We score that from -1 (the picks always did worse) to +1 (always did better); 0 means no pattern. This screen scored -0.0017. As a measurement, the score is essentially zero. If the screen had no real edge, a score at least this far from zero would show up about 74 in 100 by luck alone.

This is a historical, statistical measurement produced by FINOME TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD's research harness on past data. It is not a prediction, and past results do not indicate future results. The universe is today's Nifty 500 constituents, so the sample is affected by survivorship bias. It describes how a screen's selections behaved in the past and does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation.
