💡 Pro Tips

1. Reverse Engineering Momentum

Find Stocks Before They Pop

  • Notice XLE (Energy) is top performer for 3 months
  • Visit Jeff Quiggle → Energy industry
  • Run scan on all energy stocks
  • You'll catch the laggards about to catch up

2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation

Timeframe Leader Signal
1-year Technology ✅ Short-term momentum
3-year Technology ✅ Medium-term trend
10-year Healthcare ⚠️ Secular shift happening?

If a sector shows up in ALL timeframes = strong conviction trade.

3. Contrarian Plays

Watch for sectors that were top performers 1 year ago but dropped off the 3-month list. These can be: - ❌ Dead trends (avoid) - ✅ Consolidation before next leg (opportunity)

Use your scan to distinguish: If stocks in that sector still pass RS filters, it's likely consolidation.
