EMA Cross Alert: Golden Cross & Death Cross
Get notified when a fast EMA crosses above or below a slow EMA on candle close — a classic trend-change signal.
1
Select timeframe
Choose from 5m, 15m, 1h, or 4h. Higher timeframes produce fewer but more reliable signals.
2
Set fast and slow EMA periods
Fast period must be less than slow period (both accept 1–200). Common pairs: 7/20 for short-term, 12/26 for MACD-style, 50/200 for long-term trend. Example: BTC 1h fast=7 / slow=20 golden cross.
3
Candle-close confirmation
To reduce false signals, the cross is detected on candle close — not intrabar. This means you'll receive the alert after the candle completes.
