Momentum Stock Scanner & Screen

Price Momentum surges, especially if accompanied by volume surges often presage a significant move.  The top 100 stocks from our momentum scan are listed along with their "volume momentum."  The list is refreshed daily.

Go to Momentum List 

The 12-day and 25-day momentum is tracked here.  We display the price, 25-day momentum, 12-day momentum, and 10-day average volume momentum (in that order and ranked by their 25-day momentum).  Momentum is similar to price-rate-of-change.  The difference is that momentum is expressed as a ratio, and price-rate-of-change is expressed as a percent.  Both are "momentum" measurements.  We include here an "average volume momentum" measurement.  It shows today's measurement of the average volume for the last 10 days in comparison with the same measurement as of 10 days ago.         

It is often possible to catch a stock early in a sustained move by monitoring stocks that have undergone a recent momentum surge.  Our momentum scanner computes the 12-day and 25-day momentum of each of thousands of stocks.  The 100 stocks with the greatest 25-day momentum are listed here (the list is updated daily).  Momentum is expressed in percentage terms rather than as a ratio.  Remember that a high 25-day momentum figure does not necessarily mean a viable trend has begun.  There may be nearby overhead resistance to any more upside movement.  If there is, you should either wait and see if the stock breaks through that resistance or look elsewhere.  Look at the stock's 3-year chart and it's 1-year chart to get a sense of the context for the recent momentum.  Is the stock accelerating after touching its rising trendline, breaking through its upper Bollinger band, bursting through the neckline of an inverted head-and-shoulders formation, or breaking through the upper resistance boundary of an ascending triangle?  Look for such things to validate that the momentum is probably the beginning of a significant move. 

Extreme readings are likely to presage a continuation of the upside movement.  We include two measurements here.  One is "price momentum" and the other is "average volume momentum."  if the increase in price momentum is significant, you can expect average volume to increase with the price momentum.  Check a stock carefully before you buy it.  A momentum surge may result because of a possible takeover.  In such cases, a stock will usually gap up to a certain level then level off with little price change from then on (it goes relatively flat).  There might be another surge later or the stock may stay there for up to a few months and then plummet if the takeover collapses.  In short, the upside move may already be over.  We believe it is better to look for stocks that have not spiked up abruptly, and that you make sure there is no nearby resistance overhanging the stock.  We also think it is best to avoid any high-momentum stock that has negative volume momentum. 

***Notice: We are no longer filtering out stocks that trade for less than $5.   However, those who do not know how to protect against the risks involved in trading such stocks, should probably avoid them.  We are including such stocks in our lists because some traders are interested in them.  Our own traders focus on high-liquidity (relatively high volume) stocks priced at $5 or above.  They entail far less risk and the spread between bid and ask is usually minimal.  

**We have added hundreds of ETFs to our master stock list so that subscribers will have a greater variety of opportunities for investment.  Most but not necessarily all ETFs on our master list have the letters ETF after their names to differentiate them from stocks of individual companies.  On this Web site, "ETF" is used as a broad generic label.  Therefore, Vipers and ETNs may also have the letters "ETF" added to their names.  ETFs trade just like any other stocks.   Some ETFs are inverse (they go up when the underlying securities in them are going down).  Therefore, if the market is bearish, the number of inverse ETFs included in our scanner reports may increase significantly (because they will be rising or undergoing a positive setup pattern).  The inclusion of ETFs increases the odds that at any given time there will be purchase candidates, whether a person is bullish or bearish.  If your investment approach does not include ETFs, simply ignore any stock with the letters ETF after its name.

Did You Know?
The Valuator does not report PE and PEG ratios based on last year's obsolete data.   Nor does it try to look ahead a full year (analysts are notoriously inaccurate when they try to estimate a year ahead).  Instead, the 1-year earnings estimates it uses for computing PE & PEG ratios look ahead only about 6 months (6 months past + 6 months future).  We believe this is far more accurate.  Also, the market tends to look ahead about six months. · TheStops tool computes trailing volatility-adjusted stop losses that can be adjusted to match your tolerance for risk and investment time-horizon.  Let the stock have just enough room for its "normal" fluctuations as it climbs (each stock is different), but cut losses quickly when it declines more than is "normal" for that stock. · StockAlerts can help you find stocks for your watchlist that are more likely to surge within a few days.
