Signal — SMA20 × SMA50 Crossover (Experimental) - November 5, 2025
November 5 2025
What this signal is (quick)
We’re testing a medium-term trend crossover: the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA20) moving above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA50) (buy-side) or below it (sell-side). SMA/SMA is slower than EMA-based models, usually fewer but steadier signals.
Today’s list uses end-of-day data for Nov 5, 2025 and is experimental while we calibrate live performance.
How we ranked today (reader version)
- Trend posture: fresh SMA20 > SMA50 (up-cross) or SMA20 < SMA50 (down-cross) confirmed on daily close vs yesterday.
- Overlays: insider net (open-market buys − sells), days-to-earnings, and 30-day analyst-update density (when present).
- Headlines: same-day or very recent items to validate or stress-test the setup.
Note: Signals are research only, not trade advice. We’ll keep refining as the live dataset grows.

Carlo’s Take (EverHint)
SMA20×SMA50 is a confirmation tool. I prefer tiered entries: start partial, add after 2–3 closes above the crossover band and a tight pause/flag.
- MAR: Fundamentals and tape aligned; consider buy-the-dip toward SMA20 if RSI > 50 persists. (Reuters)
- NBIX: Strong trend but mind insider softening; keep sizes modest and trail under last higher-low. (Yahoo Finance)
- LMND: Very fast move post-print; high RSI suggests chasing risk — wait for pullback to rising SMA20 or a tight inside-day. (Business Wire)
