Educational screening tool — not investment advice. Not SEBI-registered. Momentum strategies have historically suffered drawdowns of 30–50%. Full disclaimer
One published formula, applied across NSE index segments every month: 12-month return (skipping the latest month) ÷ annualized volatility. The highest-scoring stocks in each segment are listed below — as a description of historical price behaviour, not as advice.
Scores refresh weekly; the backtest rebalances monthly
score = 12-1 return ÷ annualized volatility
This is a mechanical calculation on historical prices. A high score describes past behaviour only — it says nothing about what the stock will do next. Details, evidence and limitations are on the methodology page.
| # — rank | Δ prev — rank change vs the previous calculation | Symbol | Name | Sector | 12-1 return — 12-month return skipping the most recent month | Volatility — annualized volatility of daily returns | Score — 12-1 return divided by volatility |
