Hi,

What is the equation/algorithm for your momentum model? Over what period do you want to measure momentum? What brokerage and/or technical analysis software do you already use or have access to?

"The formula for momentum is:

M = V - Vx
Where V is the latest price, Vx is the closing price x number of days ago."

Many technical analysis software programs already provide momentum screens, including brokers, but a factor includes your time frame as to the cost of the data.

For example: http://www.marketinout.com/stock-scr...icker=momentum provides many screens that you can backtest for free.
