Q: In the context of the markets, what exactly is momentum and how can traders benefit from it?
September 11, 2006

A: You've heard that the "trend is your friend." The term "momentum" describes the strength of a trend or the likelihood that the trend will continue. Finding a high-momentum market is a great advantage for those who like to trade in short-term time frames i.e. swing traders and day traders. Here are couple of approaches that can provide an edge:

  • High ADX. Some traders look for a stocks that have a ADX reading of 30 or higher. Looking back at history, these stocks tend to resume their trends after pulling back.

  • Stocks trading above their 200-day moving average. Stocks trading above their 200-day moving average behave differently from those that are below the their 200-day moving average. Historical research shows that there is a upward bias for stocks in the U.S. stock market.
