Stock Price Crossing Above VWAP and Moving Average Alerts
Watch stocks cross above VWAP, moving averages, the open, or yesterday’s close. ChartsWatcher brings selected price-reference crossings into your alert window.
Understand the trigger
What is Crossing above?
Crossing Above reports price moving from below to above a selected reference. ChartsWatcher offers today’s open, yesterday’s close, current VWAP, and the specific moving-average and timeframe combinations listed for this alert. It describes the crossing event rather than simply listing stocks already above a line. The selected reference matters: an intraday VWAP cross and a daily moving-average cross represent different chart contexts.
An illustrative example
Crossing above in practice
Suppose a hypothetical stock trades below its current VWAP and then moves above it. Selecting VWAP makes that transition the relevant event. If you instead select yesterday’s close, the same VWAP move would not describe your condition unless price also crosses the prior closing-price reference.
Make it part of your workflow
Catch the event. Keep the context.
Use ChartsWatcher to monitor the reference lines that are part of your chart review. Create a focused alert view for a chosen crossing, then inspect the matching line on the chart and check the stock’s current volume. Different reference options let one workflow cover intraday benchmarks and the supported daily moving averages.
ChartsWatcher brings your chosen alert types and filters into the same alert window. Add the data columns you want to see, then use the connected chart and news tools to explore a matching symbol.

How do I add Crossing above in ChartsWatcher?
Open or create an alert window and choose Crossing above in its configuration. Select the available options that match your setup, then add filters to define which stocks can trigger it. Review matching alerts alongside a chart and the stock’s news.
What should I check before using this alert?
Price can cross the same reference repeatedly in a narrow range. A crossing records a transition; it does not show that price will remain above the line.
From an idea to your own scan.
Use Crossing above with the other conditions that define your setup. Keep matching stocks, charts, and news together, with a configuration you can refine as you go.
