30+ years of academic research. One consistent finding. Stocks that have been going up tend to keep going up. SignalStrike turns that insight into a platform.
Momentum investing is one of the most thoroughly documented anomalies in financial markets. Jegadeesh and Titman first published their findings in 1993, demonstrating that stocks with strong recent performance tend to continue outperforming over the following 3-12 months.
Since then, the momentum factor has been validated across decades of data, multiple markets, and numerous asset classes. It's included in the Fama-French five-factor model and is recognized by academics and practitioners alike as one of the most persistent sources of excess returns.
The challenge has never been whether momentum works — it's been how to capture it systematically, without emotion, and with proper risk management. That's what SignalStrike was built to do.
How we process 3,000+ stocks daily to identify the strongest momentum opportunities.
Every trading day, our algorithm screens 3,000+ stocks across 20+ indices — S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell, sector indices, and international. Each stock receives a composite momentum score based on configurable timeframes.
Stocks are ranked by momentum scores calculated across multiple timeframes (30-day, 60-day, 6-month, 12-month). We combine price momentum with optional volatility adjustments to identify the strongest opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis.
Top-ranked stocks are selected based on your chosen strategy type (Momentum+MarketCap, Pure Momentum, or High Growth+Momentum) and filters. The system identifies the best momentum plays without human emotion or bias.
Choose the approach that matches your risk tolerance and investment philosophy.
Combines momentum scoring with a market capitalization health filter. Prevents buying "fallen knives" — stocks with momentum but deteriorating fundamentals. The most balanced approach.
Ranks stocks purely by momentum score with no additional filters. Maximum exposure to the momentum factor. Higher potential returns, higher volatility. For investors who want pure factor exposure.
Combines momentum with a growth bias — targeting stocks that aren't just trending but accelerating. Best for bull market environments where growth stocks lead.
Every investor is different. SignalStrike lets you configure every aspect of your momentum strategy.
S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell 1000/2000/3000, Dow Jones, 8 sector indices, and international indices.
30-day, 60-day, 6-month (with/without recent), 12-month (with/without recent), plus custom days.
RSI overbought protection, MACD trend confirmation, volatility adjustment for risk-weighted ranking.
Multi-select sector and industry filtering. Concentrate on sectors you understand or diversify across all.
Mega ($200B+), Large ($10B-$200B), or Mid ($2B-$10B). Control your exposure to company size risk.
Momentum-weighted (higher scores get larger allocations) or equal-weight (same allocation regardless of score).
Research consistently shows that monthly rebalancing captures the momentum effect without excessive turnover. Daily or weekly rebalancing adds transaction costs and noise without improving returns. Annual rebalancing misses momentum shifts.
Monthly is the sweet spot — backed by empirical evidence and practical experience. On the last trading day of each month, SignalStrike recalculates momentum scores, re-ranks stocks, and provides your updated allocations.
You review. You approve. You execute in three clicks. Then you move on with your month.
