Golden Cross Engine [Quantum Algo]Golden Cross Engine
====================================================
🔶 OVERVIEW
Golden Cross Engine is a complete golden cross and death cross indicator that goes far beyond marking the moving average crossover: it counts down to the next cross before it happens, grades every cross by quality, measures what golden and death crosses have actually done on the current symbol with honest statistics, and lets every cross marker settle into its real outcome so the chart itself shows which crosses worked and which failed.
The golden cross — the fast moving average crossing above the slow, classically the 50 over the 200 — is one of the most watched events in all of trading, and the death cross is its bearish mirror. Every major cross makes financial headlines. This engine turns that famous event from a headline into a measurable, projectable, and auditable object on your chart.
🔶 WHAT ARE THE GOLDEN CROSS AND DEATH CROSS?
A golden cross occurs when a faster moving average (traditionally the 50 period) closes above a slower one (traditionally the 200 period), signaling that intermediate momentum has overtaken the long-term trend — historically read as the start of a bullish regime. A death cross is the opposite: the fast average crossing below the slow, read as the start of a bearish regime. Because both averages move slowly, the cross itself is a lagging event — which is exactly why this engine adds a convergence countdown that shows the cross forming before it prints.
🔶 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS ORIGINAL
1. The convergence countdown. The engine measures the current slope of both averages and projects their geometry forward, drawing the two converging paths and marking where and when they would meet: "Golden Cross ≈ 9 bars" with the projected price level. It is a projection at current slopes — clearly labeled as such, never a forecast — and it makes the most-watched lagging signal in trading visible in advance. An approach alert fires when the countdown first enters your chosen lead window.
2. Markers that settle into their outcome. Every cross prints in neutral gold, then resolves twenty bars later: the bullish or bearish color if the cross delivered, faded gray if it failed. The chart becomes its own audit trail — scroll back and see the honest history of every cross on the symbol.
3. Per-symbol cross statistics. Using shrinkage-adjusted win rates and Wilson confidence bounds, the engine reports how often golden and death crosses were favorable on this exact symbol and timeframe at five, twenty, and sixty bars, with sample counts and average moves — on every marker's tooltip and in the dashboard. It answers "does the golden cross actually work here" with data instead of folklore.
4. Cross quality grading. Every cross is graded A, B, or C from three observable conditions: elevated volume at the cross, slope steepness of the fast average, and momentum confirmation of price relative to it. Grade A crosses are the full-confluence events.
5. A living regime fill. The zone between the averages breathes: the bullish or bearish tint intensifies as the gap widens and pales as a cross approaches, so regime strength and regime fatigue are visible at a glance. Cross bars flash once.
6. Multi-timeframe cross state. The dashboard shows whether the fast average is above or below the slow on the fifteen-minute, one-hour, four-hour, daily, and weekly timeframes simultaneously — full-stack regime alignment in two compact rows.
🔶 HOW IT WORKS
Averages: Selectable simple or exponential averages at configurable lengths, defaulting to the classic 50 and 200.
Countdown: The engine computes each average's recent slope and solves the convergence geometry. When the averages are approaching within the horizon, it draws both projected paths, the meeting diamond with the bar count, and the projected level. When they are separating, the dashboard reads Diverging.
Statistics: Each confirmed cross records what price actually did five, twenty, and sixty bars later, in the cross's direction, into capped first-in-first-out databases. Win rates are pulled toward fifty percent by pseudo-samples so a thin history cannot display fake confidence, and each rate carries a Wilson lower bound. Crosses are rare events by nature, so sample counts are honest and often small — markers read "collecting history" until the minimum is met.
Outcome settlement: Each marker stores its cross price; twenty bars later it recolors by the realized directional outcome and joins the capped history.
Grading: Volume z-score, normalized slope steepness, and price-side confirmation combine into the A, B, C grade shown on the marker tooltip and dashboard.
Non-repainting: Crosses, grades, and statistics are evaluated on closed bars. The countdown updates on the live bar by design — it is a live projection, and it is labeled as one.
🔶 HOW TO USE IT
1. The natural home is the daily chart of major symbols — indices, large-capitalization stocks, cryptocurrency — where the 50 and 200 cross is the famous event. Intraday charts work identically with proportionally more crosses and deeper samples.
2. Watch the countdown as regime alarm: a shrinking bar count with a steepening fast average means the regime change is forming in front of you.
3. Read the settled history before trusting a fresh cross: a chart full of gray markers is telling you crossovers chop on this symbol; a chart of colored ones is telling you they trend.
4. Use the grade as confluence: an A-grade cross with volume, steep slope, and price confirmation is a different event from a flat, quiet drift-through.
5. Check the timeframe rows: a golden cross on your chart while the daily and weekly already sit bullish is alignment; against them, it is a counter-trend event.
6. The statistics rows are context, not commands — favorable rates describe this chart's history, never the next cross.
🔶 SETTINGS
- Average type and both lengths.
- Countdown: projection toggle, horizon, and approach alert lead.
- Statistics: sample cap, minimum samples to grade, shrinkage strength, Wilson z-score, markers to keep.
- Visuals: all colors, gradient fill toggle, cross-bar flash toggle.
- Themeable dashboard: position, four text sizes, title band, background, frame, grid, and three text colors.
🔶 ALERTS
- Golden Cross / Death Cross — the crossover confirmed at bar close.
- Golden Cross Approaching / Death Cross Approaching — the countdown first entered the alert lead window at current slopes.
- Grade A Cross — a cross fired with full quality confluence.
🔶 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the indicator repaint? No. Crosses, grades, statistics, and marker settlement are evaluated on closed bars. The countdown is a live-bar projection and is explicitly presented as one.
Is the countdown a prediction? No. It is where the averages meet if both keep their current slopes. Slopes change; the countdown updates with them. Its value is showing the event forming, not promising the date.
Why are the sample counts small? Because genuine crosses are rare — a daily chart may produce only a handful in years of data. The engine shows honest small numbers with confidence bounds instead of inventing large ones, and lower timeframes build deeper samples.
Why did an old cross marker turn gray? It failed: twenty bars after that cross, price had not moved in the cross's direction. Gray markers are the audit trail working.
Which lengths should I use? The classic 50 and 200 define the famous event. Faster pairs produce more crosses and richer statistics at the cost of more noise.
🔶 CREDITS
The golden cross and death cross are classical moving-average crossover concepts in the public domain of technical analysis, watched across generations of market participants. The Wilson score interval is by Edwin B. Wilson (1927), and shrinkage estimation is standard public statistics. This script gratefully acknowledges that shared lineage. The convergence countdown and projection geometry, the outcome-settling markers, the per-symbol statistical grading, the living regime fill, and all code in this script are original work — no third-party or open-source script code was reused.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Moving average crossovers are lagging by construction, and the countdown inherits the assumption of stable slopes. Cross samples are naturally small on higher timeframes; statistics mature with history and faster settings. Volume grading is less meaningful on symbols with unreliable volume reporting. Multi-timeframe rows describe state, not signals. No indicator replaces independent analysis.

EMA Edge - Multi-EMA Backtest Table with Golden/Death CrossEMA Edge — Multi-EMA Backtest Table with Golden/Death Cross
A clean, all-in-one performance dashboard that backtests 6 long-only strategies side-by-side against a Buy & Hold benchmark — 5 single-EMA crossover strategies plus a classic Golden Cross / Death Cross strategy — with on-chart cross markers and built-in alerts.
Instead of guessing which EMA length works best for a given stock or timeframe, this indicator runs the math for you and shows the answer in a single glance, ranked against simply holding the asset.
What It Does
For each of 5 user-defined EMA lengths, the indicator simulates a simple long-only strategy:
Buy when price closes above the EMA (when flat)
Sell when price closes below the EMA (when long)
Equity starts at 100 and compounds across trades using the close-to-close return of each trade
A 6th strategy row tests the classic Golden/Death Cross:
Buy when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA (Golden Cross)
Sell when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA (Death Cross)
Special first-bar handling: if the fast EMA is already above the slow EMA at the start of your backtest window (i.e., we're mid-trend with no fresh Golden Cross to wait for), the strategy enters immediately at that bar's opening price. This avoids the unrealistic outcome of sitting in cash for years waiting for a cross that already happened.
All strategies are compared against a Buy & Hold baseline that starts at the close of the first in-range bar. If a position is open at the last bar, its equity is marked-to-market so every strategy is compared on equal terms — fully invested vs. partially invested at the cutoff.
Features
5 configurable EMAs — defaults 9 / 21 / 50 / 100 / 200, fully editable
Golden/Death Cross strategy — uses independent fast/slow EMA inputs (default 50 / 200)
Performance table showing Return %, delta vs. Buy & Hold, and Outperform / Underperform status per strategy
Flexible backtest window — X weeks, X years, or full chart lifetime
On-chart GC / DC markers with optional subtle background tint on cross bars
Built-in alerts for both Golden Cross and Death Cross events
Fully customizable table — 9 position options, 6 text sizes, all colors exposed as inputs
Soft, light color palette designed not to dominate the chart
Optional EMA plotting (off by default to keep the chart clean)

How To Use
Add the indicator to any chart — works on stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, any timeframe.
Choose your backtest window (e.g., 1 Year, 5 Years, or Lifetime).
Scan the table to see which strategy historically beat Buy & Hold on this asset.
Use the on-chart GC / DC labels to spot historical and live cross events. Right-click any marker → Add Alert to be notified on new crosses.
Tip: Test the same EMA lengths across daily and weekly timeframes and across different assets. You'll usually find that what works on a steady index like SPY does not work on a volatile single stock, and vice versa. That's the entire point of the table — to make those differences visible instead of assumed.
Key Inputs
EMA 1–5: Lengths for the 5 single-EMA strategies
Show EMAs: Plot EMAs on chart (off by default)
Use Lifetime Performance: Backtest from the very first bar instead of a fixed window
Performance Timeframe Type / Value: Weeks or Years lookback
Crosses group: Toggle GC/DC display, set fast/slow EMA lengths, customize colors
Table Style group: Position, text size, background and text colors
Notes & Limitations
All strategies are long-only — no shorts, no leverage, no stops, no commissions, no slippage. This is a clean rule-based comparison, not a turnkey trading system. Live results will differ.
Entries and exits use close prices, except for the GC/DC strategy's first-bar entry when already in a golden state, which uses open.
Open positions at the last bar are marked-to-market so the comparison vs. Buy & Hold is apples-to-apples.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Use this as a research and screening tool.
The GC/DC strategy uses separate EMA lengths from the 5 table EMAs by design, so you can run 9/21/50/100/200 in the table while still testing the classic 50/200 cross.

Golden Death Cross IndicatorThis 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.”

Golden Cross and Death Cross with ProbabilityThe Advanced Golden and Death Crossover Indicator offers traders a powerful tool for identifying potential buy and sell signals through the classic technical analysis method of moving average crossovers. This script enhances decision-making by dynamically changing the chart background color in response to Golden (bullish) and Death (bearish) crossovers, providing a visual representation of the market's momentum.
Features:
Golden and Death Crossover Detection: Utilizes a 50-period SMA and a 200-period SMA to identify potential buy (golden cross) and sell (death cross) points.
Continuous Background Coloring: Changes the chart's background color to green for golden crosses and red for death crosses, offering an intuitive grasp of market trends.
Customizable Lookback Period: Allows users to adjust the lookback period for calculating the success rate of each crossover, making the indicator adaptable to various trading strategies.
Success Rate Calculation: Provides an additional layer of analysis by calculating the historical success rate of crossovers within the specified lookback period.
Instructions:
Adding the Indicator: Search for "Advanced Golden and Death Crossover Indicator" in the PulseWire Indicators & Strategies library and add it to your chart.
Customization: Access the indicator settings to adjust the lookback period according to your trading preferences.
Interpretation: Use the continuous background color as a guide to market conditions, with green indicating bullish momentum and red indicating bearish momentum. The success rate of past crossovers can help assess the reliability of the signals.
How the Script Works:
The Advanced Golden and Death Crossover Indicator operates by continuously monitoring two key moving averages (MAs) on your chart: a short-term (50-period) SMA and a long-term (200-period) SMA. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of its functionality:
Crossover Detection:
Golden Cross: When the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA, indicating potential bullish momentum, the script identifies this as a Golden Cross signal.
Death Cross: Conversely, when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA, suggesting potential bearish momentum, the script flags this as a Death Cross signal.
Background Coloring:
Upon detecting a Golden Cross, the script changes the chart background to green, visually representing a bullish market condition.
Upon detecting a Death Cross, the chart background turns red, indicating bearish market conditions.
This color change remains in effect until the next crossover event, providing a continuous visual cue of the market's trend direction.
Success Rate Calculation:
The script calculates the historical success rate of these crossovers within a user-defined lookback period. This metric helps assess the reliability of the signals based on past performance.
Customization:
Users have the flexibility to adjust the lookback period for the success rate calculation, allowing for customization according to individual trading strategies and risk preferences.
Application in Trading Analysis:
Traders can use this indicator as part of their technical analysis toolkit to make informed decisions about entry and exit points. The visual cues from the continuous background coloring, combined with the success rate of past signals, provide a comprehensive overview of market trends and crossover reliability. It’s important for traders to combine this indicator with other analysis tools and consider broader market conditions to optimize their trading strategy.

Easy Loot Golden CrossGolden/Death Cross Moving Average Indicator
30, 100 & 200 period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
30 = Yellow
100 = Green
200 = Black
Black crosses mark the 'golden crosses' as well as the 'death crosses'. These black crosses appear when the 30 crosses the 100 & when the 100 crosses the 200. These black crosses don't tell you when to buy/sell, but simply indicate interest in the market.
This code is open-source so feel free to add this indicator to your chart and play around with the different moving average timeframes & color schemes.
Golden Cross
The golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses over a major long-term moving average to the upside and is interpreted by analysts and traders as signaling a definitive upward turn in a market. Basically, the short-term average trends up faster than the long-term average, until they cross.
There are three stages to a golden cross:
A downtrend that eventually ends as selling is depleted
A second stage where the shorter moving average crosses up through the longer moving average
Finally, the continuing uptrend, hopefully leading to higher prices
Death Cross
Conversely, a similar downside moving average crossover constitutes the death cross and is understood to signal a decisive downturn in a market. The death cross occurs when the short term average trends down and crosses the long-term average, basically going in the opposite direction of the golden cross.
The death cross preceded the economic downturns in 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008. Indicator
