Updated Golden Death Cross Indicator
This indicator uses moving average to detect both a Golden Cross and Death Cross on any timeframe but is recommended for use on the daily and 24 hour timeframes only.
We have also provided instructions on how to create alerts for these indicators below.
Happy Trading!
Moving Averages: We’ll use Simple Moving Averages (SMA). The 50-day SMA looks at the average price over the last 50 periods, and the 200-day SMA does the same for 200 periods.
Crossovers: We’ll check when the 50-day SMA crosses above (Golden Cross) or below the 200-day SMA (Death Cross).
Set Up Alerts
Now, let’s make sure you get notified when a cross happens:
Open the Alerts Menu
On the chart, click the bell icon (top right of the screen) to create an alert.
Configure the Golden Cross Alert
In the “Condition” dropdown, select “Cross Alerts” (the name of your script).
Below that, select “Golden Cross.”
Set “Once Per Bar Close” in the next dropdown (this ensures it only triggers after the period ends, avoiding false signals mid-bar).
Choose how you want to be notified (e.g., popup, email, or phone app—set this under “Notifications”).
Name the alert (e.g., “Golden Cross Alert”) and click “Create.”
Configure the Death Cross Alert
Click the bell icon again to create a second alert.
Condition: “Cross Alerts” > “Death Cross.”
Set “Once Per Bar Close” again.
Choose your notification method.
Name it (e.g., “Death Cross Alert”) and click “Create.”
