Educational screening tool — not investment advice. Not SEBI-registered. Momentum strategies have historically suffered drawdowns of 30–50%. Full disclaimer
One published formula, every segment, every trading day: 12-month return (skipping the latest month) ÷ annualized volatility. What ranks highest is listed below — a description of past prices, not advice.
Scores refresh each trading day; the backtest rebalances weekly (Friday close)
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.

These are the stocks currently ranking highest on the formula. A place on this list is not a recommendation, rating or endorsement of any security. Momentum rankings change often, sometimes drastically.
A paid plan with list-change alerts and an export archive is being considered. Everything currently on this site stays free either way. If a plan like that interests you, a 2-minute form helps decide whether to build it.
