Strategy Session: Crossed Above/Below 200 Day Moving Average Breakout

Crossed Above [Below] 200 Day Moving Average Breakout is a preconfigured alert window specifically set up to find stocks that have just gone above [below] their 200 day moving average. If this sounds familiar it's because these were part of our previous Sample strategies that we rotated off the site recently.

How It's Modeled:
This window features one main alert the "Crossed Above 200 Day Moving Average" alert. It is triggered when a stock crosses its 200 day moving average and that move is confirmed by volume. This window comes with some preset filters. We included a Min Position in Range filter set at the 60th percentile so that the breakout happens in the upper 40% of a stock's daily trading range. Also there is a Min Up from the Close filter set to $0.10 so that the stock is at least positive when the breakout occurs. The settings for Crossed Below 200 Day Moving Average are the exact opposite.

Who Could Benefit:
The 200 day moving average is a number closely watched by many traders - therefore watching stocks move above or below that figure could be an important insight into things to come.
