I tend to screen for stocks crossing the 100 EMA instead. I tend to look at trades in terms of weeks and months as opposed to days. I also use a 20/50 EMA cross to signal candidates for potential trend changes. It is different for everyone, depending on their time frame and risk tolerance. Keep in mind that these are all trend following systems, so it really depends on how much of a delay you can tolerate in entering and exiting a trade. You do give up so of the potential gain and loss, but I am more comfortable with that average. A lot of intermediate traders use both averages in addition to the 200 EMA.
