Momentum Scanner: Top Momentum Stocks Ranked by a 7-Factor Score
We re-score the US equity universe after every close and publish eligible, liquid stocks at 60 or better. The composite blends price performance, bullish candles, moving-average alignment, trend consistency, volatility quality, volume, and relative strength versus SPY, so one sharp price jump cannot dominate the ranking. Eligibility requires a price of at least $10, 90 sessions of history, and $100M in average daily dollar volume.
Today's reading
Breadth narrowed to 81 qualifying stocks, -23 from the prior scan. 26 names score 70 or higher, while 52 (64%) have a 90-session high-recency reading of five sessions or less. GTLB leads with a 84.8 composite and held the top rank; MRNA has the fastest one-month move at +161.6%. The median leader gained +23.0% over one month. Momentum strength is a shortlist, not entry timing.

Leader: GTLB at 84.8. Median score 64.8. 11 entered and 34 exited (43% one-day list turnover). A high score measures trend quality, not whether today is a favorable entry.
01
Is momentum participation expanding or narrowing?
The number of stocks clearing 60 is a breadth measure for momentum leadership. A rising line means more names are joining the trend; a falling line means leadership is concentrating. The 70+ line isolates the strongest tier so a larger list cannot hide deterioration in quality.

Raw speed versus multi-factor quality
Recent return is speed; the composite score asks whether moving averages, trend consistency, volume, volatility, and relative strength confirm it. The upper-right contains fast, broadly confirmed leaders. High-scoring names farther left may be steadier trends rather than fresh bursts. Orange rings flag stocks that entered the 60+ list today.

Rank and filter today's momentum leaders
Use the composite for the first cut, then check return speed, 90-session high recency, rank movement, and the seven factor scores. “New” means the stock crossed onto the published 60+ list since the prior scan—not that momentum began today. A high-recency value of 0 means the close is within 2% of its 90-session high.

How Momentum Scanner (7-Factor Composite) Works
- 1Scan the full US equity universe every dayAfter every market close we pull daily OHLCV bars for the US universe and score eligible stocks from scratch — there is no static watchlist. Published candidates need at least 90 sessions of history, a price of $10 or more, and at least $100 million in average daily dollar volume.
- 2Score seven independent momentum factorsEach stock is graded 0–100 on seven factors: Price Performance (25%) blends 1- and 3-month returns with the R² of a linear regression through price, rewarding smooth advances over choppy ones. Bullish Candles (15%) measures the share of strong up-days. MA Alignment (15%) checks that the 10-, 20-, and 50-day moving averages are stacked bullishly and sloping up. Trend Consistency (15%) rewards higher highs/lows and shallow pullbacks. Volatility (10%) favours stable ATR and orderly ranges. Volume (10%) looks at up/down volume balance and recent surges. Relative Strength (10%) measures outperformance versus SPY.
- 3Blend the factors into one composite scoreThe seven factor scores are combined with the weights above into a single 0–100 momentum score. A high composite means a stock is strong across multiple, independent dimensions — not just up a lot on one noisy metric.
- 4Rank and keep only the 60-plus namesEvery eligible stock is ranked by composite score, highest first. We publish only names scoring 60 or higher. That is the scanner’s fixed publication cutoff. It is an unproven buy threshold, and the number of published names expands and contracts with market participation.
Who Uses Momentum Scanner (7-Factor Composite)
Momentum Traders
Start the day with a pre-ranked shortlist of the strongest names in the market instead of scanning thousands of charts by hand. The composite score does the first cut; you do the discretionary work on the top of the list.
Swing Traders
Filter for high trend-consistency and MA-alignment sub-scores to find stocks in clean, orderly uptrends that pull back shallowly — the kind that offer low-risk continuation entries rather than parabolic blow-offs.
Relative-Strength Investors
Sort by the relative-strength factor to surface stocks currently outperforming SPY, then verify valuation, catalyst, liquidity, and entry risk before making an allocation decision.
Watchlist Builders
Use the scanner as a daily idea funnel: names that climb the rankings over consecutive sessions are gaining multi-factor strength, while names dropping off the 60-plus list are losing it.
Pro Tips
01
Read the sub-scores behind the headline number
Two stocks can share an 80 composite for very different reasons. One driven by price performance with weak volume is a different trade than one with balanced strength across all seven factors. Expand the factor columns before you commit.
02
Smoothness beats raw return
The price-performance factor gives part of its score to regression R², so a steadier advance can outrank a larger but more erratic move. That describes trend quality inside this model; it does not guarantee persistence.
03
Read the 90-session high-recency field carefully
The field counts sessions since the stock’s high inside the model’s 90-session window. A value of 0 means the current close is within 2% of that period high; it does not necessarily mean the stock printed a new high today.
04
Cross-check momentum with market breadth
A long list of 60-plus names usually coincides with healthy participation. When the list thins out day over day, broad momentum is fading even if the index holds — a reason to tighten risk.
Common Issues & Solutions
Why are there only ~100 stocks, not thousands?▾
The published set applies minimum price, history, and liquidity requirements, then keeps only stocks scoring 60 or higher. The count varies with market participation: expansion means more eligible names cleared the fixed cutoff, while contraction means leadership narrowed.
A stock I expected to see is not on the list▾
It either scored below 60 or lacks enough trading history to compute the longer-horizon factors. A stock can be up sharply on raw price yet still score below 60 if its advance is choppy, on weak volume, or not confirmed by moving-average alignment and relative strength.
The score is high but the stock looks extended▾
A high composite measures the strength of momentum, not entry timing. Use the 1-month return and the 90-session high-recency field to distinguish a recent burst from a steadier trend, then inspect the chart before acting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a momentum scanner?▾
A momentum scanner ranks stocks by the strength of their recent price trend. This one goes beyond raw return: it scores every stock in the US universe on seven independent momentum factors and blends them into a single 0–100 composite, then ranks the strongest names highest. It is recomputed daily after the close.
What are the seven factors and how are they weighted?▾
Price Performance (25%) — 1- and 3-month returns plus the R² of a regression through price. Bullish Candles (15%) — share of strong up-days. MA Alignment (15%) — 10/20/50-day moving averages stacked and sloping up. Trend Consistency (15%) — higher highs/lows and shallow pullbacks. Volatility (10%) — ATR stability and orderly ranges. Volume (10%) — up/down volume balance and surges. Relative Strength (10%) — outperformance versus SPY.
What does the momentum score mean?▾
It is a 0–100 composite of the seven weighted factors. Higher means the stock is strong across multiple dimensions instead of up on one metric. We publish only stocks scoring 60 or higher. That cutoff is a fixed list boundary and makes no claim about future returns.
How many stocks are scanned?▾
The scan starts with the US equity universe each day. To be eligible, a stock needs at least 90 sessions of history, a price of $10 or more, and at least $100 million in average daily dollar volume. Only eligible stocks scoring 60 or higher are published, so the list size varies over time.
How often is the scanner updated?▾
Every trading day, after the market close. The entire universe is re-scored from fresh daily OHLCV data, so the rankings reflect the most recent completed session.
Is the momentum scanner free?▾
Yes. The full ranked list, all seven factor scores, trailing returns, rank changes and participation history are public, with no account and no paywall. The model definition and its fixed thresholds are documented on this page.
How should I use the rankings?▾
Treat them as a pre-ranked shortlist, not buy signals. Use the composite for the first cut, then read the sub-scores to understand why a stock ranks where it does, compare recent return with its 90-session high recency, and confirm with your own analysis before trading.
