Death Cross Stocks Today
A death cross is the 50-day moving average closing below the 200-day. This page lists today's crosses alongside the downtrend-alignment screens, where price sits below every major average.
Each row shows the screen that fired and its backtest win rate. Read the win rate with the screen's bias in mind: on these screens the profitable side is usually short, or a wait-for-reversal long.

How a systematic trader uses this list
A death cross tells you the trend is down. If you are long, it is the exit you should have taken already. If you trade short, sell rallies into the 50-day line with the stop above it, and take the backtest's exit rule from the screen page rather than waiting for the trend to end.
Questions
What is a death cross?
The 50-day simple moving average crossing below the 200-day. It marks a stock that has been falling long enough for its intermediate trend to roll over.
Is a death cross a buy signal?
Not on its own. Backtests show the days after a death cross are mixed. The screens here that wait for price to also be below the 20 and 50 day averages have the cleaner record.
