Momentum investing buys what has been going up, on the evidence that strong performers keep outperforming for months (Jegadeesh & Titman, 1993 — and the same effect behind NSE's own Nifty 200 Momentum 30 index). This list applies that idea to the whole NSE, every day.
Raw returns reward the most volatile stocks, so the ranking divides momentum by volatility: a steady 60% climber can rank above a violent 120% one. Every name must also pass trend and liquidity gates, so the list is tradable, not just a leaderboard.

How the ranking works
- Universe: all NSE-listed equities with daily price history.
- Momentum: 12-1 month return — the last 12 months, skipping the most recent month, which tends to mean-revert.
- Risk adjustment: momentum divided by annualised volatility; ranked highest first.
- Gates: price ≥ ₹10, median daily turnover ≥ ₹2 crore, few circuit-limit days, volatility ≤ 100%, Weinstein Stage 2, and at least 6 of the 8 Minervini trend-template checks.
- Refresh: re-ranked every trading day after the close.
Frequently asked questions
What are momentum stocks?
Stocks whose prices have risen strongly over the past several months, measured here by 12-1 month return. Research across markets, including India, shows past winners tend to keep outperforming over the following 3–12 months, though momentum can reverse sharply.
Why skip the most recent month?
Very short-term winners tend to give some of it back (short-term reversal). Excluding the latest month — the standard '12-1' definition — gives a cleaner signal of persistent strength.
How is this different from the Nifty 200 Momentum 30 index?
That index holds 30 large and mid-caps, rebalanced twice a year. This list covers every liquid NSE stock, adds trend filters (Stage 2, Minervini) and is re-ranked daily, so it catches emerging leaders sooner.
How often does the momentum list change?
It is re-ranked every trading day, but because it uses 12 months of returns most names persist for weeks. Rotation shows up gradually at the bottom of the list.
Is this a buy list?
No — it is an educational screen, not investment advice. Momentum strategies have deep drawdowns when leadership turns. Size positions and use stops.
