The Golden Cross ratio called Cross SMA 50/200 in the screener is calculated as the 50 day simple moving average / 200 day simple moving average.
SMA stands for Simple Moving Average.
How to interpret the Golden Cross
If the Cross SMA 50/200 value is > 1 the 50 day moving average is above the 200 day moving average, this is a positive share price momentum indicator.This means the share price may continue to move higher.
If the value is < 1 it means the 50 day moving average is below the 200 day moving average, and this is an indicator that the share price may go lower.
How to use it
This is how you can use it to select companies with a positive (value > 1) using the screener:
