Frequently Asked Questions

What is momentum investing?

Momentum investing is a strategy that buys stocks showing strong recent price performance, based on the empirical observation that stocks trending upward tend to continue outperforming. It's one of the most well-documented factors in academic finance research.

Why filter for RSI below 70?

RSI (Relative Strength Index) above 70 indicates a stock may be overbought — meaning it has risen too far too fast and could be due for a pullback. Filtering below 70 helps identify stocks with strong momentum that haven't yet reached extreme levels.
