No stock is in Golden Cross + Trend Quality on the Daily chart right now. The screen re-evaluates on every daily close; the app alerts the moment one enters.
The first condition is a strict cross detection: SMA 50 transitions from at or below SMA 200 to above SMA 200 on the current bar. The second condition checks the candle-color ratio: at least 11 of the last 20 daily candles must be green closes. The combination is extremely specific because the Golden Cross event is itself rare (it fires once per trend reversal), and requiring a simultaneous 55%+ green-candle ratio adds a second independent gate. In practical terms, the screen only fires when the moving-average cross and the recent candle-color momentum are both bullish at the same time — confirming the signal with a separate behavioral measure rather than another derivative of the same price data.
The addition of the candle-color filter to the standard Golden Cross addresses a known weakness: Golden Crosses that fire during choppy, mixed-momentum environments are lower quality than those firing during clean upswings. If more than half the recent candles were green before and at the time of the cross, it suggests the MA cross is confirming an already-established bullish momentum regime rather than predicting one. When it does fire — likely in a sustained bull market where stocks have been trending up consistently — it represents a high-conviction entry signal. The risk remains timing: the cross itself is backward-looking, and the candle-quality filter adds further lag. The most aggressive version of this signal setup fires the MACD Bull Cross first, the EMA 9/20 Cross Up second, the Golden Cross third, and the trend-quality confirmation last — by which point the trend is well-established. See Golden Cross for the basic version, and MACD Bull Cross for an earlier entry signal in the same trend development.

This screener combines the Golden Cross (SMA 50 crossing above SMA 200) with a trend-quality filter requiring more than 55% of the last 20 candles to be green. It catches the Golden Cross specifically when recent momentum confirms the structural shift — not just a mechanical MA cross, but one where candle-color behavior also supports the bullish case. Position traders and swing traders use it to find the highest-quality Golden Cross signals where trend quality reinforces the MA event. Who uses this: traders who have been burned by Golden Cross false signals and want a secondary behavioral filter before committing. Failure mode: waiting for both conditions to align simultaneously means missing many valid Golden Crosses where the candle ratio is momentarily below 55%.
