Frequently asked questions
What does the Death Cross screen show?
The Death Cross screen lists NSE- and BSE-listed stocks that currently meet a specific set of filters: 50 DMA < 200 DMA. It is an automated, rules-based filter that surfaces companies matching those numbers — 50 DMA below 200 DMA (bearish). It is an informational research tool, not a curated list of recommendations.
What are the exact criteria for the Death Cross screen?
A stock appears in Death Cross when it satisfies 50 DMA < 200 DMA. Every company in the list passes all of these conditions at the time of the most recent data refresh. You can open any stock to see how it meets each condition.
How often is the Death Cross list updated?
The list is recalculated on our regular data-refresh cycle. Price- and volume-based screens update through the trading day, while fundamentals-based screens update as new financial data becomes available. The stocks shown reflect the latest available data, not a fixed or historical snapshot.
Can I customise or save the Death Cross screen?
Yes. You can start from Death Cross and adjust the thresholds, add or remove filters, and combine it with other conditions to build your own screen. Free users can run all presets and save a limited number of custom screens.
Are the stocks in Death Cross buy or sell recommendations?
No. Death Cross is a neutral, informational filter that shows which stocks currently match a mathematical set of conditions. It does not constitute investment advice and is not a buy, sell, or hold recommendation. Always do your own due diligence or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before investing.
Does a stock appearing in Death Cross mean it is a good investment?
Not necessarily. Meeting the criteria only tells you the stock matches those specific numbers today — it says nothing about future performance, valuation fairness, or the quality of the underlying business. Treat the results as one input among many.
Does "near 52-week high" mean a stock will keep rising?
No. Trading near a 52-week high simply means the current price is close to its highest level over the past year. It reflects recent strength but gives no assurance about future direction — stocks can consolidate, reverse, or continue in either direction.
What is a Golden Crossover / Death Cross, and is it a signal to act?
A golden crossover is when the 50-day moving average rises above the 200-day average; a death cross is the reverse. These are widely-watched technical patterns often called "bullish" or "bearish," but they are lagging indicators based purely on past prices and are not reliable predictors. They are shown for information, not as trade signals.
