Since 1996, the fund's listing. Rates compound yearly on dividend-adjusted closes; a change of side takes effect at the next close; days out of the fund earn nothing. Compare rates across funds, not dollars: spans differ. The method page has the conventions.
How often EWG crosses
EWG has crossed its 200-day average 8.7 times a year on average since Dec 30, 1996, and 69% of those crosses came within 14 days of the previous one. Waiting for three closes on the new side cuts that to 3.3 a year.
On a dividend-adjusted price series, 206 of EWG's 342 200-day cross dates (60%) would fall on a different day or not at all. This page uses unadjusted closes, the series a broker chart shows, so every date here can be checked against one.

Questions
What does "above its 200-day moving average" mean?
The 200-day moving average is the mean of EWG's last 200 daily closes. EWG is above it when the day's close is higher than that mean, below when lower. A close exactly on the line keeps the side it had.
When does this EWG page update?
After every US market close, once the day's official close is final (about 6:30 pm New York time). The dateline at the top names the last close it reflects.
What is the "confirmed on 3 closes" column?
The confirmed variant changes side only after three consecutive closes on the new side, and its cross date is the third close. For EWG it has crossed the 200-day 3.3 times a year on average, against 8.7 for the raw rule.
Which prices are used?
Unadjusted daily closes: split-adjusted, not dividend-adjusted, the prices a broker chart shows. Dividend-adjusted series put many cross dates on different days; the method page explains the choice.
