Why Momentum Screener Exists
The story behind a repeatable momentum investing research workflow.
Momentum Screener was built because finding strong trends shouldn't require hours of building screens and sorting through thousands of stocks.
Most stock screeners begin with an empty page. Momentum Screener begins with a ranked shortlist, helping investors spend less time searching and more time researching.
Why I built it
Momentum Screener started as an engineering project to answer a simple question: can momentum investing become a repeatable research workflow instead of a collection of opinions?
Over several years, the project evolved through ranking algorithms, historical archives, backtesting, custom charting, broader asset coverage, and research workflows. Today it ranks thousands of securities using objective market data and multiple independent momentum strategies.
What We Believe
- Start with rankings. Finding good candidates should take minutes, not hours.
- Verify with evidence. Every strategy can be tested against historical data.
- Keep the workflow simple. Research tools should reduce complexity, not add it.
- Stay transparent. Explain the methodology, assumptions, and data limitations.
Built on objective market data
Momentum Screener ranks securities using objective market data rather than analyst opinions, news sentiment, or manually curated stock picks. Market data is never perfect, so we document assumptions, update schedules, and known limitations in Methodology, Data & Delays, and Backtesting.
Who it's for
Momentum Screener is designed for investors who:
- Manage their own portfolios
- Like systematic research
- Want repeatable workflows
- Prefer charts and data over stock tips
Built by engineers
Momentum Screener is an independent software project built by computer engineers who wanted a better way to research momentum investing. The focus has always been objective rankings, transparent methodology, repeatable workflows, and continuous improvement.
Where we're going
- Broader global coverage
- Better portfolio tools
- More research workflows
- Better historical analysis
