What is an SMA Screener?
An SMA (Simple Moving Average) Screener filters stocks based on their price relationship with key simple moving averages. SMA calculates the average closing price over a specified number of periods, giving equal weight to each period. It is widely used by traders and investors to identify trend direction, support/resistance levels, and potential reversal points. StockeZee's SMA Screener covers six condition types — Price Cross Above SMA, Price Cross Below SMA, Price Just Above SMA, Price Just Below SMA, SMA Bullish Crossover, and SMA Bearish Crossover — across 10 SMA periods from 5 to 200.
SMA Screener Categories
Price Cross Above SMA: Stocks where the closing price has just crossed above a specific SMA — a bullish signal indicating potential trend reversal or continuation upward.
Price Cross Below SMA: Stocks where the closing price has just crossed below a specific SMA — a bearish signal indicating potential downward trend.
Price Just Above SMA: Stocks trading slightly above a specific SMA — useful for identifying stocks in an uptrend or near dynamic support.
Price Just Below SMA: Stocks trading slightly below a specific SMA — useful for identifying stocks near dynamic resistance or in a downtrend.
SMA Bullish Crossover: Stocks where a shorter SMA has crossed above a longer SMA (e.g., 5 SMA crossing above 20 SMA) — a classic golden cross signal for trend reversal.
SMA Bearish Crossover: Stocks where a shorter SMA has crossed below a longer SMA (e.g., 5 SMA crossing below 20 SMA) — a classic death cross signal for trend reversal.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 200 SMA (200-day Simple Moving Average) is one of the most widely followed technical indicators. It represents the average closing price over the last 200 trading days and is used to identify the long-term trend. Stocks trading above the 200 SMA are generally considered in a long-term uptrend, while stocks below it are in a downtrend. Institutional investors and fund managers closely watch the 200 SMA as a key support/resistance level.
A Golden Cross occurs when a shorter SMA (like 50 SMA) crosses above a longer SMA (like 200 SMA), signaling a potential long-term bullish trend reversal. A Death Cross occurs when a shorter SMA crosses below a longer SMA, signaling a potential long-term bearish trend. These are widely watched signals by institutional and retail traders for major trend changes.
For swing trading (holding positions for 2-10 days), the 20 SMA and 50 SMA are most commonly used. The 20 SMA acts as dynamic support in uptrends and resistance in downtrends. The 50 SMA is used for medium-term trend identification. Price crossing above the 20 SMA or 50 SMA with volume confirmation is a popular swing trading entry signal.
SMA gives equal weight to all periods in the calculation, making it smoother and slower to react to price changes. EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it faster and more responsive. For trend-following and long-term analysis, SMA is preferred. For short-term momentum and intraday trading, EMA is more commonly used. Both have their place in a comprehensive trading strategy.
