I just designed a screen to uncover stocks evidencing recent momentum, and this is what I got. So, I'll be observing them for a few weeks to see if the filter turned up companies that are on their way to higher ground, or ones that have just peaked and are now poised to fizzle out. Seeing what would have happened had I run this screen one year ago, I got CHWY, PDD, NVAX, LRN IOVA, PROSY, and PSAG; and all but IOVA and PSAG are significantly higher today. However, even IOVA and PASG could have been sold at a significant profit if the positions had been exited when they began to display signs of serious weakness, which I find encouraging, at least for the time being.
You might also want to correct against the trend of the market. For instance if a stock is in the S&P and the S&P is up 1.1% and your stock is up .9%, then you aren't really looking at a winner, just a follower. It's Sunday so please don't try to trade these tomorrow without looking at fresh data, but here's just a quick random scan with TradingView that turned up a couple of stocks showing recent power. Not trying to point out stock picks, just showing an example of something you can do with TradingView.
Seeing as how BRPHF has been climbing more-or-less steadily over the last year, I went ahead and bought into the company this morning. (Had I invested a mere $740 to buy 1000 shares in April of last year, I'd be looking at over $28,000 today. However, the stock shot up to just under $20 in January of 2018, only to plunge back down to $2.17 by August, and then to 78ȼ by the end of the year, so I have no idea if this is going to pay off in the long run.)

BRPHF Stock: The Bitcoin ETF News Sending Galaxy Digital Climbing By Chris MacDonald, InvestorPlace Contributor Apr 12, 2021, 4:09 pm EDT Image from TC2000 Today, investors in Galaxy Digital Holdings (OTCMKTS:BRPHF) and BRPHF stock are seeing gains of approximately 20% at the time of writing. News that Galaxy is pursuing a Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) ETF has sent shares on this wild ride today. Today, the crypto craze is in full swing. Retail investors are looking for any way to pile into this trade. With most technically sophisticated investors already likely in this trade via holding cryptos in their digital wallets, a swath of other investors is seeking an easier route to Bitcoin ownership. Enter the rise of Bitcoin ETFs. While not currently allowed in the United States, Bitcoin ETFs have taken off in recent months. Investors have piled into this relatively liquid way of buying and selling Bitcoin. These retail-focused ETFs are likely to continue to see massive capital inflows, if Bitcoin prices remain elevated. Currently, the price of a single Bitcoin remains around the $60,000 level. A number of impressive six-figure price targets on Bitcoin has further accelerated the hysteria in this sector.
Chasing stuff like that is fun and challenging, but for every huge win you make, you make a bunch of losses. There are easier, steady-Eddie ways to get up over the magic ceiling that will actually get most traders there a lot quicker. I'm not greedy but I made 5% today nice and easy, on MNQ. I didn't do any scans or watch patterns or even read the news. I just entered and kept my position between the gutters. Maybe I'll jump back in at the next reversion to the mean, I don't know. It's raining and I really kind of feel like taking a nap instead.
I'm locking in the available gains from INVU, now that it's looking short-term bearish (though I will keep it on my watch list for the future), and I'm planning to replace it with shares of NSA the next time this stock evidences a pullback... Image from TC2000
Add RIOT and MARA to you watch list, bro. By the way, so you don't have to keep logging into E*Trade due to your not remembering what's still in your portfolio, it's BRPHF and GFL. (Everything else you sold at a profit—except for KOPN.)
