The markets

Up to four names, separated by commas, in the order of the lists below.
60 daily bars is about three months; 252 about a year.
Many momentum rules skip the last month (about 21 days): 0 uses every bar.
252 for daily bars on weekdays, 365 for crypto, 52 for weeks, 12 for months.

The ranking

The strongest is A: +5.41% over 60 bars, a move of 1.3 times its usual swing for the span.

Absolute momentum
It is up over the look back, so an absolute momentum rule would hold it.
Trend or noise
No market moved two times its usual swing for the span: the ranking could flip on a few bars.
Read it with care
Ranked by the move against each market's own swing, so a calm market's steady rise can beat a wild one's bigger jump. Momentum has paid on average across many markets and decades, with long dry spells; on a few markets and one look back it is a description, not a forecast.

The markets ranked by risk-adjusted momentum: the return over 60 bars, the swing a year and the move in units of its usual swing. The leader is marked.

Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Relative and absolute momentum

Momentum rules buy what has risen most. Relative momentum ranks markets against each other; absolute momentum asks whether the leader has risen at all, and steps aside when nothing has. Dividing each move by the market's own swing keeps a wild market from winning on noise alone.
